Re: Stus-List Problem with 2 new fuel gauges...long story
The actual meter portion of analog meters are essentially the same (Volt, Amp, Ohm) they register the voltage presented to them. The way the are placed in the circuit makes the difference. Volt meter across the voltage, Amp across a shunt (a low resistance resistor) to measure the voltage drop across the shunt and Ohm has its own power supply to measure resistors. The normal setup for fuel tanks is for the meter to be supplied with the + voltage and one side of the the variable resistor in the tank connected to the meter and the other to ground. In the case of a metal tank such as in an automobile the tank itself is grounded so there is no need for a second lead. If the tank is plastic then a ground lead is needed to the frame of the sensor assembly. If there is no connection to ground then the meter should not move. You said you measured the resistance across the sensor on one tank. Is this the one you think is failing? If not you can measure the sense line to ground to check the resistance on the one you think is failing. If it is the new tank that is failing are you sure that on the tank sensor, one side is connected to ground and the other to your meter? You could try to find something in the 100 ohm range to test the meter - light bulb etc. Good luck.

Re: Stus-List Autohelm
Do you have room to put an extension to the rear or below decks to your rudder shaft? On my last boat I was able to put a standard linear drive aft and below the tiller. It worked great and was out of sight but just a button press away. A tiller mounted unit will work but you will find yourself only using it for long hauls and not for that quick sail trim etc. One that is always available is worth the effort to be creative about finding a way to instal it.

Re: Stus-List Update on jammed transmission lever
I had to pull them out the bottom. I could just reach the clip to remove the retaining pin. Putting the new ones back in was another story. I had to place them so that one was horizontal and the other through long bends lined up with it. This was the only way I could reach to replace the pin. I then dropped two lines from the top and attached one to each so that I could pull the cables to the proper side. I then gently worked the ends back into the base so I could pull them up with the lines. Make sure that the pull lines are routed aft and clear of the steering cables. I didn't loosen the steering cables at all because I wanted to make sure they remained clear of the control cables. I don't know how much clearance you have below the pedestal but I had very little due to the solid base where the steering cables pulleys are mounted. Good luck this job pushed my patience limit.

With lots of help from the list last fall, got the old one out and just replaced it with a new one last weekend. The re-installation went very smoothly and I thought all was well. But when I fired up the Perkins diesel yesterday (still on the hard), the shift lever is stuck in neutral. I noticed that was true last weekend just after the install, but figured the engine needed to be running to get it in gear. No banging needed on the prop shaft to drive the shaft back into the coupling, so I don't think there was any strain on the transmission. Would like advice about where to look for the jam. In the shift lever from the pedestal? In the transmission itself? Maybe disconnect the shift cable from the transmission and see if I can then move the shift lever? Advice from the list soon would be greatly appreciated. Launch date is slated for this week, but if the prop shaft has to be disconnected from the tranny to fix things, launch needs to be delayed. Thanks for advice! Don't know what to try. Eric > > ___ > This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album > http://www.cncphotoalbum.com > CnC-List@cnc-list.com __
