Re: Stus-List Input on inflatable dinghy purchase

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Hi Joe.  Very interesting, I've not heard of or seen inflatables from
Azzurro Mare.  Very good price point from the "usual suspects" pricing.
Have you any first hand experience with them?  I was looking at Hypalon as
it seems to make a lighter boat, plus I read somewhere that the PVC was
prone to issues with gasoline- especially not good with the air floor where
any spill can get under the floor, hard to be noticed/cleaned up.  I do
like the idea of the lighter weight of the old 2 cycle engines.  The trick
there is finding a used one that's reliable.

Re: Stus-List Input on inflatable dinghy purchase

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Thanks Danny.  I've not really looked at motors yet but have seen the
information on the Lehr propane models and was intrigued by their light
weight, no need for gas/oil etc.  Can you share any more details on your
experience with it?  How long have you had it?  Can you pull off the
propane tank when its half empty and does that then allow you to stow it in
a locker below or does it still have propane in the engine somewhere,
lurking to escape into your bilge?

Re: Stus-List Input on inflatable dinghy purchase

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Hi Andy.  Thank you.  One problem for me is storage of the boat when not in
use.  There's a long wait list for both the Bristol YC dinghy dock as well
as the Town of Bristol, so I'll need to deflate it and take it home or
store it aboard when its not needed, so I think the boat and motor your
buddy has won't fit the bill for me.  Maybe a good deal for someone else on
the list?

Stus-List Input on inflatable dinghy purchase

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Relocating our C 110 from a Midwest lake where I had no need for a tender
to now sailing on Narragansett Bay, LI Sound, Buzzard's Bay, Vineyard and
Nantucket Sounds, etc, I'm in need of a basic inflatable to serve as a
tender in harbors without a launch service.  I've used them many times on
charters but never really paid much attention to detail.

I'm looking for something relatively compact for 2-4 people that is easy to
set up and collapse and stow, so I think that's best a roll-up.  Early in
my thinking, I'm eyeing something like the 8'6" Achillies LSI-260: 4 person
capacity/820lbs, Hypalon, overall weight 64 lbs, inflatable floor, with
perhaps a ~4-5HP outboard. (Or maybe the 9'6" or 10'2" LSI versions of the
same design..) I don't think I need a boat to plane, just basic
transportation.  No davits, it will either be towed or stowed.

I welcome input from those of you with inflatable experience to share your
thoughts on brands, material, features, design, size, etc.  What factors
should I be considering as I make my selection?

Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Agreed re single handing 33-2: move the primary winches to the aft pads and use 
self-tailing winches.  I found them to be the perfect spot and you can get a 
lot of leverage as you are standing over the winch rather than kneeling on the 
seat.  Was very easy to single-hand the boat.

Re: Stus-List Removing Polyglow

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

I used Polyglow for many years on my previous C and loved it.  One additional 
benefit I experienced was that the "black streaks" on the hull from the deck 
run-off would wash off simply with soap and water.  Previously when I had been 
waxing, the streaks were nearly impossible to remove (though Starbright Black 
Streak Remover worked, it also would remove the wax.)

Re: Stus-List Looking for feedback please

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

Hello Brad.  We sailed a CC 33-II for 20 years but sold her for a CC 110 
three years ago and are very delighted.  Glad to answer any questions.  One 
great source of information on the CC 110 is the CC Owners web site on 
sailingnetworks.com 
(http://www.sailingnetworks.com/login?redirect=%2Fgroups%2Fforum%2Flist%3Fgroup%3D526). 
Note the 110 has many variants; 4 keels, 3 masts and with a symmetrical or 
asymmetrical spinnaker set up as well as early (mid 2002 and before) boats 
were vinylester resin and after that, epoxy based.  Tartan Marine, who made 
the 110, is still supporting it and has been very responsive to questions. 
With any saildrive engine boats, one key question is if the saildrive rubber 
seal at the drive leg/hull joint has been replaced.  (Volvo recommends every 
7 years though most seem to be going much longer...)

 My slides are round barrel slug attached to grommets on the luff via

 Hi Josh,
 
 Good point made regarding tapered thread sealing qualities and the lube aids 
 to obtaining a good mechanical seal.
 
 I'm a little dismayed that you used Teflon tape on the exhaust fittings. This 
 is probably the worst application for the product (second being any system 
 with a pump in it). It is best used in domestic water situations. 
 
 At about 660 degrees F Teflon tape decomposes and emits a toxic fume. Fatal 
 to birds in the home when the frying pan gets too hot and probably not good 
 for humans in a small space either. 
 
 I whole heartedly support the use of high temp anti-seize. It might stink a 
 wee bit on the first couple of runs but it probably won't harm you.

 compression as a result of the tapered threads is what is actually supposed 
 to prevents leaks.  Yes, you can use all manner of sealants which may help 
 but a proper NPT connection shouldn't need it. 
 
 That being said, I used Teflon tape on my exhaust (3GM35F).  Just 2 wraps.  
 I may have difficulty getting the joint apart, who knows.  I also used a 
 bench vice to provide enough counter-torque.
 
 As a suggestion I would give high temp anti-seaze a try.  It is usually 
 copper colored and most auto parts stores should carry it.  If you've ever 
 replaced an O2 sensor they include a small tube.

Does anyone know of a trophy/plaque engraver who might already have the CC 
logo on file (to avoid the hefty set-up fee most want to charge).___

Stus-List Help changing Volvo Saildrive lower unit oil

[Bob McLaughlin via CnC-List]

New to me last year, I want to change the oil in my saildrive lower unit. (2003 
CC 110 with a Volvo MD2030-D with the MS25S Reverse Unit/Lower unit.) I can 
clearly see the drain plug on the bottom of the S-drive but am confused on how 
to refill the oil once drained.  In the manual it states “Put new oil in” but I 
can’t reconcile the manual’s depiction of the oil fill with that of my actual 
reverse unit.  Where does one add the oil for the lower unit?  Is the lower 
unit filled from the same place/dipstick as the reverse unit?  (I thought the 
oil spec was different for the two- I’d read the reverse gear took the same as 
the engine oil CD 15w40 while the lower unit was now spec’d for “newer engines” 
to use GL5 75w90).  Can anyone shed light on correctly changing oil in the 
Volvo saildrive?
