Re: Stus-List Rudder repair?

2018-07-30 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Listen to James.  His advice is sound.  Don't let the insurance company
push you around.  You want the boat back to where it was before the
grounding, and heating and straightening won't bring it back to the way it
was.

Re: Stus-List ST4000+ Mechanical Problem

2018-07-25 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Thanks, Tim and Neil for your help addressing my wheel pilot problem.
Neil's manual was the correct one for the 4000+.  My actuator didn't have
the ball bearings that Tim described.  Once I got the actuator off the
wheel and opened it, I found a bad belt.. A new belt from eBay for $22
fixed the problem.  With the new belt, the clutch lever no longer pops out
of gear, a problem that has bothered me for years.

Re: Stus-List Intermittent starting Yanmar 3GM

2018-07-09 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
The clicking sound is the solenoid.  It means that the push button is
working, but the contacts on the solenoid may be bad.  You can easily check
the push button switch by shorting it out with a screw driver.   You can
check the starter, with the switch on, by shorting out the solenoid.

I recently replaced the push button and the key switch on my boat with an
automotive style key switch.  The push button didn't always work until I
pushed it several times.  Now I just turn the key to on, and turn it a
little more to start the engine.

Give Norm Gustafson a call (360) 823-6357.  He used to be in charge of big
diesels (Catapiller) locally, and he taught a diesel class when he was a
member of RCYC.  He can give you advice over the phone, and if you want him
to work on your engine, he'll do a good job.

Re: Stus-List North Nordac Sails

2018-07-03 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I have been racing with a 105% Nordac genoa for ten years, and have had no
problems with it.  Recently I noticed a little wear at one spot the luff
tape, probably due to a rough spot on the furler.  I also have a 135%
furling genoa which I use for cruising.  It's four years old, and I haven't
used t very much.  If I needed new sails, I wouldn't hesitate to go with
Nordac, or whatever North is recommending these days.

Stus-List ST4000+ Mechanical Problem

2018-07-02 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Has anyone on the list taken the Wheel Pilot Actuator apart? On the way to
the starting line last week, the steering was catching on something inside
the Wheel Pilot Actuator,  I opted to not race for fear that the steering
would lock up during the race.  Previous to this happening, the clutch
lever would pop out occasionally.  Is there a clutch adjustment, that might
solve both problems? According to the Raymarine Forum, this unit is no
longer serviced by Raymarine.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine wind

2018-06-16 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
If the CAL legend on the digital display (small legend at the bottom of the
display) flashes for the first 30 seconds after any power up, use the
appropriate Calibration procedures to:

1.  Apply the factory defaults.
2.  Carry out the linearization procedure.

To do this:

1.  Power up the wind instrument.
2.  Slowly turn your boat through two complete circles (three to five
minutes for each circle).  This procedure automatically linearizes the
windvane.  A successful linearization is indicated by the digital display
flashing and the buzzer sounding three beeps.

Next set the instrument to factory defaults, and finally calibrate the
instrument.  These procedures are in your owner's manual.  If you don't
have the manual, let me know, and I'll copy the procedure for you.

Re: Stus-List C 36 Kite Rigging

2018-06-10 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
On my boat I have the foreguy (downhaul) attached to the end of the pole,
and run it to a padeye just aft of the forestay.  Rob is right about not
being able to pull the pole forward with the lazy guy.  If you trip the
pole while going DDW, you can fly the spinnaker with both sheets while
pulling the pole forward with the foreguy.  Then, while sitting or standing
between the forestay and the pulpit, attach the new guy to the pole, gybe
the main, raise the pole on the new tack and steer toward your new target.

You can have the foreguy attached to a bridle so that it pulls down from
the middle of the pole.  That make it easier to move the jib (genoa) to the
other side of the boat which is necessary if you gybe the chute after
dropping the jib.  Having the downhaul attached to the end of the pole
makes it available to grab so that you can use it to pull the pole forward,
but it's a little more work moving the jib to the other side of the boat.

I've been doing dip pole gybes for years.  On my present boat and on the

Re: Stus-List 3GMf Knocking Sound

2018-06-01 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I had a problem with a previous boat, engine dying at higher rpm's.  Turned
out that there was a filter on the fuel take-up, in the tank, that was
partially clogged.  Once I cleaned it, the problem went away.

With my present boat with a 3GMf engine, I had a problem with the
transmission not fully engaging.  I bought a new cone, but that didn't cure
the problem.  On further inspection, I noticed a little "play" (not sure
that's the right word) when putting the transmission in gear.  I fixed the
problem with a couple of shims that eliminated the play.  If anyone needs a
new cone, I have one for sale at half price.

Recently I noticed more vibration than usual at high rpm's while in gear.
Out of gear, the engine runs very smoothly.  I'm pretty sure it's the
cutlass bearing, which hasn't been changed since I bought the boat in
2001.  The vibration isn't so bad that changing the cutlass can wait.
I'll change it when the boat comes out next year.

Well we were lucky enough to be able to take out our 34 this past Wednesday
for the Blue Angels show in Annapolis. On our way back our Yanmar 3GMF
would occasionally make a knocking sound. I'm hoping you guys might know
what could have caused it.



When it happened:

* We were about to enter into the mouth of the Magothy and I was taking
down the main. My wife had the helm and yelled up saying that something
didn't sound right with the engine. She throttled down and when I got back
everything sounded ok. She said that it sounded like it was going to die.
Like it was running out of fuel.

* We kept it running slowly for a bit without issue. Then I tried to speed
us up again. After about 5-10 mins it started making the noise again. To me
it sounded like a loud knocking or banging sound. I immediately reduced
power again and it immediately went away.



Conditions:

* At the time it started occurring we had about 1/8 of a tank of fuel.

* Heavy, choppy waves for a large portion of our trip due to lots of power
boats. However, at the time it occurred, seas were calm.

* At start up after we sailed for a bit the prop had trouble opening and I
had to reduce power a couple of times to get it to open.



Observations:

* I didn't see anything incorrect or worrysome during operation.

* No leaking oil, fuel, or water.

* Racor water separator doesn't show any water in the bowl. A little gunk
in the bottom but not much.

* When power was reduced, everything sounded normal and operated normal.



Thoughts/Questions:

* Could low fuel/dirty fuel/water in fuel make this happen?

* Could this be more of a vibration from the prop not opening properly? If
that's the case, could it be indicative of something in the strut or
cutlass bearing? We have in the past had A LOT of problems with the prop
not opening.

* I did notice that during operation on the way back that occasionally the
undulation of the waves caused some stress. I'm assuming just because of
stresses on the prop.



Today I filled up the tank and started it up in the slip. It started
immediately and didn't sound like anything was wrong. I brought the
throttle up and down and everything sounds absolutely fine. So I'm at a bit
of a loss as to what to check/do. I do know that I still need to change the
oil and I am planning on changing the fuel filters as well.



I did notice that I am able to see the notch in the prop shaft where it
meets the gearbox. There does not seem to be anything on the shaft that
would indicate that it shifted at all though. Is this normal?



Would love some help from some of the yanmar experts on here please.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine Autopilot gone mad!

2018-05-24 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I seem to recall that the Raymarine autopilot has to be linearized when
first installed, but also if any of the instruments on the Seatalk buss are
changed.  Linearization consists of  turning two 360 degree slow turns
(about three to five minutes each).  Your owner's manual has the steps to
take.  Even if you don't think you need to do this, do it anyway.  I had to
do that when I installed a new wind transducer.  Other things you can check
are:  make sure there is nothing (iron or steel) near the magnetic sensor
for the autopilot, and also make sure that there is no RF close to the
autopilot wiring.  For the latter, try running without the VHF turned on.

Re: Stus-List New lines and hayalards

I recently replaced my double braid main halyard with Sta-set X.  It was
more difficult to splice than double braid, but I was able to do a
reasonable job.  Definitely less stretch, and I'm pleased with the
results.  If you Google New England Ropes, you can download their booklet
on splicing.

give you a nice blue light.  Touch again and the light turns white.  Touch
and hold, and they gradually dim or get brighter, depending on how long you

Acrylic and plexiglass are the same thing.  If you are handy, you can make

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

2018-03-22 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I have always been competitive using double braid polyester line for my
main and jib sheets, not going with the more expensive hi tech line.  I use
7/16" line because it's easier to handle than 3/8".

Re: Stus-List Replace mast sheaves

2018-03-09 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
You don't have to remove the top plate.  Take the tension off the halyards,
or the sheaves will get pulled down into the mast.  Turn the mast so the
sheaves are facing down.  If the spindle is attached to the metal tab (not
all of mine were), just pull it out, remove the old sheave and insert the
new sheave.  If the spindle is not attached to the metal tab, you might
have to drill a small hole in the opposite side of the mast, in order to
push the spindle out.  I replaced my halyards with all rope halyards.  I
used sheaves from Zephyrwerks http://www.zephyrwerks.com/.

I replaced mine a couple of years ago.  It was the same as the one I
removed, but the outside was plastic, so it wouldn't rust.  (The one I
removed was so badly rusted, that the bottom just fell out.)  What ever you
get, make sure that it will fit.

Replace your fuel fill hose.  I hadn't thought about doing that until one

Stus-List Insurance

2018-02-04 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Some things to consider when insuring your boat:  Make sure you have fuel
spill coverage - $500, 000 or more.  Also, don't insure your boat for more
than it's actually worth.  Hull insurance is the biggest cost of your
insurance.  Finally get lots of liability insurance.  That's the most
reasonable part of your premium.  Canadian yacht clubs want us to  have one
million dollars of liability insurance, if we want to use their reciprocal
moorage.  when I asked BoatUS/Geico (my carrier) how much it would cost to
increase my liability from five hundred thousand to one million, they told
me it would increase my premium by about six dollars a year.

Re: Stus-List insurance

2018-02-03 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
If your deductible is zero, that means that your deductible has gone from
whatever you had it, to zero without increasing your premium for the zero
deductible.  In other words, you had no claims in the past four years, and
your deductible has gone down twenty-five percent per year over those four
years.  I had a claim, last year, and I didn't have to pay a deductible.
It started out as a four percent deductible, and it went down when I had no
claims for four years or more.  I had the same question as you, until they
explained it to me.  My insurance is due to renew in April, and the
deductible will probably go back to four percent, plus whatever the new
rates have increased to.

Re: Stus-List Wrapping LifeSling with Sunbrella

2018-01-05 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I made a new Life Sling container using Sailrite's video.  Except for a
minor mistake in the video, the construction was easy, and the new cover
looks great.  For any of you who don't sew, I recommend taking sewing
lessons.  There are so many boat projects you can do if you sew.  Besides
the Life Sling container, I made a mainsail cover, and winch covers  that
match the other sewing projects with the same color.  Sailrite also has
videos for making a dodger, Bimini and complete boat cover, and they even
have kits for making your own sails.

Re: Stus-List AIS Improvement

2017-12-19 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
When I upgraded my old Raytheon C80 MFD, I was able to download the new
firmware from their website - no charge.

Alan Bergen

Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List 

I have hit a snag with my project. My CP180 plotter is refusing to take AIS
input on any NMEA port.
The firmware version is from 2008, so I think I'll be sending it back to
S-H for a firmware upgrade. This will cost about $35, which

IMHO is quite reasonable and also a nice contrast to brand R, which tends
to tell you "buy a new one" as the answer to any issue with any old
equipment.
Another issue is not a big deal but just odd, the AIS seems to not be
sending out the GPS per satellite signal quality string. On the computer
and the plotter I can see the position and HDOP just fine, but no
individual satellite signal levels.

On the good news side, the waterproof junction boxes and glands I got from
Amazon are working out well.

Re: Stus-List PROPELLER PITCH

2017-12-17 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
While motoring in forward gear, run the engine at full throttle.  Your
engine should be able to reach maximum, or close to maximum rated rpm.  If
not, your pitch is to high.  If the engine runs much higher than maximum
rated rpm at full throttle, your pitch is too low.

Fred:
My 3GMF (20hp) does the same thing.  When I first start it I give it full
throttle, and it starts fine.  After a race, it starts fine with no
advanced throttle.  I just assume the fuel is flowing back in the line, and
it's taking a while to get to the engine.  Some day I'll tighten all the
fuel line fittings.

Re: Stus-List C 35 mkiii mainsheet set up

2017-12-01 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
My setup is similar to yours - 3:1 purchase plus the self - tailing winch.
The more purchase you have with a triple block means it will take longer
for the boom to go in and out when you change direction.  Also, in light
air, you may have too much friction for the boom to go out by itself when
going downwind, and your crew willhave to push the boom out.  My boat came
with a setup similar to  Josh's, and I switched over to the present
configuration.

him/her.  In Portland, there are some homeless people who live on run down
boats.  Perhaps there is a homeless person using it, or it might be a
stolen boat.  Good luck.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine instrument covers

2017-11-06 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
If your instruments are bulkhead mounted, Sew a piece of Sunbrella and
mount it to the bulkhead with snaps or other fittings so that it covers all
of the instruments.  No need for individual covers.

Re: Stus-List AIS improvement + general rewiring

2017-10-30 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Joe:

I have an AIT2000 and Raymarine C80 MFD. The AIS out goes to the C80 NMEA
0183 in and the AIS in goes to the C80 out.  Since I have a separate GPS,
that connects to my VHF for the DSC connection.  I use a separate VHF
antenna for the AIS, and it can be used as a VHF antenna in case I ever
lose my mast.   I had difficulty connecting the AIS to my laptop (something
to do with the software I'm using), so I connected my GPS to the laptop as
well as to the VHF/DSC connections.

Re: Stus-List New Engine, now what size alternator

2017-10-14 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I replaced my lead acid batteries with AGM batteries.  Two 6 volt batteries
in series for my house bank, and one 12 volt for my starting battery.  I
also replaced my 35 amp alternator with a Balmar (I think 120 amp) with
external regulator.  My engine is a Yanmar 3gmf, twenty hp, and I have not
had a problem with being under powered because of the higher rated
alternator.  When an alternator is rated at 120 amps, it doesn't mean that
it is always pumping out 120 amps.  That's the maximum it can put out based
on the load.  The load determines how much current is drawn.  I have
refrigeration, and I have replaced all of my lights (cabin and running
lights) with LED bulbs.

Get the larger alternator.  Also, remember that AGM batteries are taller
than lead acid batteries.  You'll also need a new charger that can charge
AGM batteries.  Get a charger that has a switch for use with AGM, gel or

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?

2017-09-28 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I don't know why you need a pre-feeder.  Pre-feeders are only needed if you
don't have slugs or slides on the luff.  Once the main is up, you just need
something to close the entry slot.  Then when you drop the main, it stays
in the track.  Am I missing something?

I, too, use the Tides Marine Strong Track.  It's expensive, but well worth
the money.

Re: Stus-List 3GMD engine blow back

Check to see whether the oil leak is coming from your dipstick.  If it's
loose, that's probably the source.

Re: Stus-List Transmission position while sailing

2017-09-18 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
With a Max-prop, the transmission should be put in reverse, while the boat
is moving forward,  This feathers the prop, and keeps it from turning past
the feathered position.  Good for all engines.

Re: Stus-List Water heaters

I replaced mine with another Raritan.  The bottom of my old one rusted
out.  The new ones are plastic on the outside- won't rust.  I bought
mine from Columbia Marine Exchange in Portland.  Cheaper than Defender.
They can probably have it drop shipped to you.  Check out their web site,
and give Kim a call.  If you get a different brand, check the dimensions
carefully, or it may not fit through the hatch.

Re: Stus-List Depth Sounder

I'm looking for a new (used) display.  I tried a new transducer, and that
didn't cure the problem.  I also checked all wiring from the transducer to
the display.

I have to push the starter button several times before the starter turns
the engine over.  I thought it was the starter button.  I'd better check
that out before I get into trouble, and cant start the engine in an
emergency.

Speaking of an emergency, after finishing a race, yesterday, we dropped the
chute and started the engine, as we approached a railroad bridge.  We
suddenly smelled smoke, and when we opened the cockpit hatch, smoke poured
out.  After closer inspection of the engine, we discovered the alternator
belt had been slipping,  It got hot, melted and got stuck to the engine
pulley.  Luckily I had an extra belt on board, and a half hour later the
repair was completed.

Re: Stus-List 1980 C 30 MKI - DIY Lifelines

2017-08-31 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
If you race, check the regs about using Amsteel.  I think the concern was
about the attachments; not the Amsteel itself.  Amsteel may no longer be
acceptable as race rigging for lifelines.  If you use wire, make sure it is
not covered.  Use bare wire.

Stus-List C 35 Mk III

2017-08-24 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List

I use my boat for racing and for cruising.  It is a very comfortable boat
for cruising, and a very competitive racer.  I race it on the Columbia
River, and on the ocean along the coast of Washington and down the straits
of Juan de Fuca.  One summer I cruised for three months in the Puget sound
area, and in the San Juan and Gulf Islands.

Surprising.  I thought it was a great boat for racing and cruising.  Just
need to get those padded covers.

Re: Stus-List Hitachi Alternator woes...

2017-08-13 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I replaced my original 35 amp alternator with a much larger capacity one.
Defender had a sale on a Balmar alternator with an external regulator.
With so much more drain (refrigeration, computer, MFD, etc.) it was a no
brainer to make the change.  My engine is a 3GMF (20 hp).

Re: Stus-List 3gm fuel issues

If the fuel doesn't pump as David suggested, you might have to turn the
engine a little.  Release the compression levers, and turn the engine a
little by hand.

Re: Stus-List Removing wood bungs

2017-07-25 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
Drill a hole in the bung till the drill bit contacts the screw that's
beneath the bung.  Then screw in a sheet metal screw.  When the sheet metal
screw contacts the screw that's under the bung, continue to screw it in,
and the bung will slide out.

Re: Stus-List Crab Pot Incident

2017-07-12 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
We were racing along the coast of Washington, in the Oregon Offshore Race
from Astoria, Oregon to Victoria, BC., doing quite well I might add.  The
entire coast of Washington is "littered" with crab pots.  In the early
evening, off Grays Harbor, we tacked onto a crab pot.  It took about
forty-five minutes for us to get loose when we managed to grab the line
that was holding the crab pot.  My crew grabbed the line with a boat hook,
and leaning over the stern, managed to cut it loose.  Crab fishermen have a
string of pots tied together, with two floats attached so that they can
grab the line between the floats and haul in the crab pot.

By he time we got loose, the fleet had passed us by, and we still had
something attached to the bottom of Thirsty, as our speed had dropped quite
a bit.  We also did an accidental gybe which broke the gooseneck
(discovered that the next morning) and probably caused the boom to crack.
By the time we got close to Race Rocks, we had fallen so far behind that we
decided to just call it quits and motor into Victoria.  In the morning we
found pieces of the gooseneck on the deck, so it was good that we quit when
we did.

When we started the engine, we weren't sure whether there was anything
attached to the shaft, but we took a chance, and everything seemed okay.
Even with the crew watching for crab pots, there's always a chance that we
might catch one.  I seem to recall that Cool Change caught a crab pot, just
before the start of the same race, but in a different year, and Frank had
to dive down and get it loose.
