Re: Stus-List Ye Olde Stuck Seacock issue

2018-12-30 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
I am the 2nd owner of a 1984 C 32 and have sailed her for 14 yrs and never 
had reason to close the cockpit drains and as mine were stuck when purchased I 
assume the previous owner never closed them. Make sure the hose and connections 
are  good and forget it.

 

I would be more concerned with the rudder grease cap as it is more important to 
keep the rudder shaft greased. I have no experience there as mine are in good 
condition. I would suggest starting with some rust remover treatment and then 
liquid wrench or DL at the cap junction and then a thin pliers on the inner 
shaft and a larger one on the outer cup rim and try to free the cap. If it was 
ever greased it just might turn. I think that the entire assembly is either 
screwed or glassed into the rudder shaft but not sure so hold on to the inner 
shaft with the thin pliers when cranking the outer cap and only apply the 
pliers to the rim of the outer shell ( forward end ) or you will deform the 
shell. 

 

Good luck

Subject: Stus-List Ye Olde Stuck Seacock issue

 

I bought earlier this year a C 32.  One issue the surveyor pointed out is the 
seacocks for the cockpit drains are stuck in the open position.  This boat has 
spent it's known history in cold salt water on the west coast of BC.

 

I'm interested to know if anyone else has had this same type of seacock, and 
had success freeing it up.

The starboard side one is only barely accessible through the 12"x 12" panel in 
the aft end of the quarter-birth.  If it was reasonably accessible, I'd just 
replace it, but to get 2 hands on it I'd probably have to go through the locker 
and remove the fuel tank.

 

The other pic is a fitting on the rudder tube.  I assume this is (well, was) a 
grease cup.  Has anyone taken one of these on?

 

Thanks,

Eric

Try using the sail stop fixed above the cover if you cover the boat and
stuff some putty type material at an angle above the sail stop to catch and
pitch water out of the slot.

Subject: Stus-List Mast Boot Tape

 

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if some of you may have some insights regarding mast boot
tape.  We have had a slight leak around the base of the mast since we bought
the boat in February.  I pulled off a mass of old tape which was peeling
anyway, and applied Rubbaweld Mast Boot Tape with somewhat marginal success
(it was my first attempt). In that since I was doing the job single handed,
I had to start by taping the end of the tape to the mast with duct tape to
hold it while I pulled it tight.  I also found it was kind of a pain to have
to pull off liner from the tape surface simultaneously while pulling on the
tape hard enough to activate the adhesive and get it to bind.  It was also
pretty difficult to get a good span from the base of the mast deck entrance
to the mast itself, and I had difficulty getting the tape to fuse into a
nice tight end.  In the end, the stuff appears to be about the same as what
came off, which looked perpetually dirty.  

 

I understand this is mostly an issue of user error, but It seems to me there
must be a better solution.

 

For example, anyone ever try white shrinkwrap tape?  It would seem ideal -
waterproof, sticks to boat hulls well, doesn't leave sticky residue, is UV
resistant, and would stay much cleaner. 

 

Any other solutions?

Hi all,

 

I hope everybody is enjoying a fantastic sailing season so far. It's been years 
since I subbed this list, back then you gave me great advice regarding the 
purchase of a completely stripped c 27. I ended up not buying the boat, 
mostly because I lack both experience and money to complete a rebuild project 
within any reasonable timeframe.

 

In the meantime I left my employer to start my own business. After a bit of 
initial struggles, the success is giving me the benefit of expanding my budget 
for a boat, for which I am very grateful :-)

 

And guess what... another c for sale just 15 mins driving from where i live. 
This one is a 30E which apparently is a European build. I live in The 
Netherlands, by the way.

Here is a link to the boat for sale:

http://www.devaartyachting.com/nl/956/cc-30e.html

Really, I don't know why c keeps calling me hahaha.

 

Does anyone of you have any experience with this particular model and what are 
the things I should specifically look for when going to see the boat? It's on 
blocks so I can see under the waterline as well.

 

Thanks!

Sander.

Re: Stus-List Engine compartment insulation?

2017-04-06 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
Bruce,

 

I did this on my 1984 C 32 and the results are great using 1” thick with 
reflective surface and foam and actually a Rubber intermediate layer. I 
purchased the material from Defender and would recommend the kit or components 
of the kit for the most straight forward approach. I did not do that but use 
the same screw mounting holes of the original insulation but had to transfer 
those holes using blackened wet Q tips to cardboard templates which were the 
same templates for cutting the insulation and then using a small soldering iron 
to make holes in the insulation because it cannot be drilled without tearing up 
the foam insulation. Laborious but good results. Used reflective ducting tape 
from Home Depot for seams and used large fender washers for mounting. The kit 
has glue and nails with large washers and has to be  much easier. Good luck!

Re: Stus-List C 33 Rudder Post lubrication

2016-08-08 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
Dave,

If the Cup is salvageable and threads are intact you can have a new cap
fabricated to same dimensions with threads and have a grease fitting screwed
into the cap and then screw it down to the cup and use a small grease gun
thereafter without ever having to unscrew the cap again. This assumes that
what you have left there is sound. Otherwise keep trying the group for a
source of new assembly which is glassed into the rudder sleeve.

away leaving just the sides and a very rusty body. I touched it and some

Thanks to both of you for your responses.

 

I might need some visuals to understand the set-ups that you use.  And please

Neil, you said that you use a single line for the traveler with a loop.  John, 
you said that you use two ends of the same line back to the helm.

 

Mine has the main sheet with a block and tackle attached to the boom.  Then 
there are lines at each end of the traveler that use cam cleats that must be 
loosened to allow the traveler to move laterally.  How do I manage all three 
lines from the binnacle?

 

John, thanks for the info on your website.  That is quite an impressive array 
of projects that you have completed through the years.  I'm not sure what year 
you were referring to for the cam cleats with the extended loop.

I would second the Garhauer experience. They can recommend size and build
flange fit to your mast and great to work with. Try catching them at a boat

have a shop rag handy to wipe off any oil that escapes the bag. I have found
that a large trash bag that is also thick works best and I take the first

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

2015-10-28 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
My experience with hydro lock is to avoid it by putting the bucket in the 
locker below the cockpit and at engine level so excess water is not forced due 
to gravity into the engine when the pump is not operating.

My experience is like this :

 

- if the pump works properly, the 6 ft hose I use from the bucket in the 
cockpit fills reasonably quicklying and there are no issues. 

- one year it didn't work and I tried priming the hose. it was that time when I 
managed to hydrolock the engine. It also turned out that the Impeller had no 
vanes left.

 

When I replaced the impeller the pump primed itself in no time. Of course, this 
was after removing water from the engine.

I am trying to reconcile this discussion with my winterizing experience last 
year.  I use a bucket of antifreeze in the cockpit and run a tube to the raw 
water intake inlet outside the hull.  I did not see any water draw before I 
started the engine (or after) so even with that pressure head, I did not seem 
to be pushing water into the engine.   Last year, it seemed to take a long time 
for the water to begin being sucked through from the bucket.  At the time, I 
attributed this to it taking a while for the engine to warm up and the 
thermostat open.  But now, when I look at the engine info I have, it looks like 
the thermostat is on the antifreeze circulating path, not on the raw water 
path.  So why would there have been a delay in the draw from the bucket?  Dave

Dave,

 

good thinking!

 

Since the water came from behind (exhaust side), and you did not turn the 
engine, there was a good chance that you would be able to suck most of it the 
same way.

 

However, I would not put too much faith in your impeller. If the impeller is 
good, the pump should prime from the cockpit (no need to pour any water into 
the hose). If it did not prime on its own, it means that it is not working 
properly. The impeller may look good, but it may slip on the shaft or the 
pulley (the v-belt) is slipping. I would be afraid that this may create some 
cooling problems. There is nothing you need to do for the winter, but I would 
think hard on addressing this before the next season.

 

When you do your feed bucket method, do you have a shut off valve at the hose 
from the bucket to the engine? If you don’t, adding it helps a lot, as you can 
shut off the water (AF) feed from the cockpit and turn the engine off, when the 
water is pumped out of the hose.

 

Btw. If you don’t like the idea of having any head of water in front of the 
water pump, you can try a method with a bucket on the ground and a hose leading 
from the bucket to the raw water intake throughhull. You can cut a thread on 
the inside of that throughhull and screw in a barbed nipple into it. The Good 
Old Boat Nov/Dec 2014 issue had an article on that. I have a scanned PDF if you 
are interested.

Subject: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

 

Good news!

 

I was able to resolve the hydrolock with no apparent ill effect on the engine!  
It was quite an easy fix as well, didn't even need to mess with the injectors.

 

Here's what I did, following a suggestion of someone on this thread:

 

I disconnected the exhaust hose from the manifold and connected my shop vac to 
the header outlet.   Then, with the vac running and all three decompression 
levers open, I turned the engine by hand a few times from the main pulley, then 
spun it a bit with the starter motor.

 

After closing the decompression levers, reconnecting the exhaust and setting up 
my water feed bucket - this time in the aft cabin and NOT up in the cockpit - I 
went for ignition.  It fired up more readily than I expected, and ran great 
with no new vibrations or noises.  The raw water pump impeller was completely 
intact and looked like new.

 

The oil was a little milky so I changed that twice, ran the motor for a while 
to get it up to temp, then finally winterized it from the bucket.

 

Hooray for a lesson learned without injury or great expense. 

 

 

Thanks for all the advice guys!

I forgot to mention that one of the leading causes of water heater failures 
(home, marine, and mobile) is sediment collecting and creating hot spots on the 
elements.  The 3-way valve I suggested also ensures that a flush path is 
available for that sediment.  Many designs have the drain "T"ed off of the cold 
water inlet port so flushing really doesn't pass water through the heater at 
all.

Hi Tom,

I don't have anything to add to the other comments regarding original source
and alternatives. But I will point out that teflon tape is useless as a
sealing medium 
 in compression fitting applications. 
In pipe thread (NPT) applications the thread contact surfaces make the seal,
in compression fittings the threads simply afford a clamping force. 

In other words, don't try to fix this problem with a thread tape solution.

not discovered yet.  According to my brother, who has a CS40 at Niagara on
the Lake with a similar set up, this grey stuff was all the rage, including
in residential applications, until they learned that it started to
deteriorate after 20 years or so, developing hair line cracks and leaks.
The company is now out of business, of course.

These are in a difficult location and appear to have been done originally
without any silicon tape sealant.  I can probably get a wrench on them but
am worried that if I can to either tighten them or loosen them to put on the
tape sealant before tightening em back up until they stop leaking, they'll
break.  Thus, turning a small problem into a big one.  Now to my actual
question...

What do you think of using a sealant on these after a thorough cleaning and
drying process?

Has anyone done this successfully?

If so, what did you use?  

If not, (this ought to be a good one) what sealant would you suggest I try?
(My Brother Tony suggested 3m 4200, but I'm not sure about that one)

As always, suggestions, stories and wise-assed remarks are all welcome!

Re: Stus-List Antifreeze Mystery

2015-05-24 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
Check to insure your engine block drain valves are tight before winter
storage. Second thought is weird but offered anyhow. Is antifreeze fresh?
Could there be a blockage somewhere where the antifreeze is diluted and
freezes which would expand and force the top stuff out somehow. I said it
was a weird thought! I will discuss it with the mechanic at the yard who is
pretty sharp and seen most things.

Subject: Stus-List Antifreeze Mystery

After the engine is winterized in the Fall, I place a plastic pan under
it.not sure why but I do.  Every Spring, there is approximately a half a
cup or 250 ml of antifreeze in the pan.

I have looked everywhere for the source of this antifreeze but I can't find
out where it is coming from.  The boat was launched 3 weeks ago, the engine
has about 3 hours on it since then, the pan is still under the engine but
there is no antifreeze in it.  And the antifreeze does not appear during the
sailing season.

I notice every Spring the level of the antifreeze in the 'overflow
container' is down a bit and I refill to the 'FULL LEVEL' but that container
is not leaking.  It's a mystery!

Anybody experience this and/or have any ideas where this antifreeze could be
originating from?

Re: Stus-List Engine Sound Insulation - Go Without?

2014-08-27 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
Robert,

 

If you ever do decide to install new insulation I can share a few tricks to 
make it easier as I re-insulated the compartment in my CC 32 last year.

 

I used material purchased from Defender which is reflective containing foam and 
rubber and lead which is impossible to drill holes in for mounting and the 
compartment does not allow room to swing a hammer to mount with the usual 
mounting hardware.

If I ever did it again I would glue the stuff in.

 

Anyhow, I tore the old stuff out and left in the mounting screws then made 
cardboard templets of the foam patters and put a  small amount of paint or 
magic marker on each screw head and pressed the cardboard in place. This gave 
me screw locations for the pattern and insulation. I then laid the pattern on 
the insulation to cut to shape and transferred the holes to the insulation 
using a small soldering Iron which burned through the insulation foam and 
rubber. A drill caught and twisted the foam and got caught messing up the 
insulation and took a lot of time removing. Then remove all the screws in the 
sides of the engine compartment and mount the insulation with fender washers on 
the  old screws. I then used metal backed duct tape on the ends and any joints 
of the insulation. See Arpeggio1984.info, web site under Projects 2013 for 
results. Looks and works good!

Update: Tonight I removed the sound insulation from the sides of the engine 
compartment. Let me tell you - it was a dirty mess. Surprisingly, it is 
possible for a substance to be both dusty and oily at the same time. On the 
bright side, after removing the old, crumbling insulation I was able to give 
the little Yanmar and the engine compartment a good cleaning. It looks 100% 
better now and I think it will be easier to keep the engine clean.

 

I can't report on the noise yet as I'm waiting on an exhaust elbow at the 
moment. Even if it's a little noisier under power, I think that it may be worth 
it just to have a little more room in the engine compartment (it's amazing what 
an extra couple of inches can give you in a cramped space) . On the other hand, 
if the racket proves to be intolerable, I'll report back with a warning to 
others who might be contemplating taking the same steps. 

 

Thanks to everyone for the helpful feedback.

I have replaced the old, crumbling sound insulation in the accessible parts of 
my engine compartment with new sound insulation from West Marine. However, 
there is almost no room on either side of my Yanmar in my 30 MKII. Getting new 
insulation in along the sides is going to be very difficult. I am contemplating 
just taking out the old insulation from the sides of the engine compartment and 
going without. Does anyone think this would be a big mistake?

Re: Stus-List Re-Bedding / Filling Drilling w_Epoxy

2014-08-08 Thread John Russo via CnC-List
Just a note - My experience is to tape the hole below deck and pour in a
small amount of thickened epoxy which does not drip past the tape to form a
new epoxy seal or bottom layer when cured and then wet the cored out area
and then fill with thickened epoxy.

Kevin,

 

The epoxy cartridges are nice and easy to use, but to do the job right one
should wet out the hole with un-thickened epoxy before filling with
thickened epoxy.  Also, don't just fill an existing bolt hole.  Over dill
the hole and ream back any coring.  

 

That said, I prefer to mix the epoxy myself.  First un-thickened for wetting
out, then adding some colloidal silica to thicken for the filling via a
syringe.   For epoxy, I use either West System 105/205 or East System
1032/833.  They are near identical except East costs 1/3 less.

It doesn't matter which one.

The important thing is that the drum(load) is supported by one of the pins that 
the gears turn on. 

If the ‎line puts load on the drum off the pin, there could be a tendency for 
the drum to cock slightly and the gears would not mesh true.

As long as one pin is supporting the line as it touches the drum, everything 
will remain true and all the load will pass though the drum to pin to bearings 
to central boss.

Your right, the instructions‎ are not clear.

As long as one pin is supporting the line as it touches the drum, everything 
will remain true and all the load will pass though the drum to pin to bearings 
to central boss.

Your right, the instructions‎ are not clear.

Help requested 

 

I am mounting my new Lewmar  EVO ST 40 winches tomorrow and the mounting 
diagram in the application brochure shows the output gear orientation to be 90 
degrees to the load as the correct orientation. This  makes sense but my 
winches are on the boat and I seem to remember that there are two gears 180 
degrees apart engaging the drum.  One gear is large and the other smaller and 
the mounting diagram shows only one gear of undetermined size. The parts 
diagram does not call either of these gears an output gear and both are part 
#19 and called ratchet gears. Does anyone know which gear is the output gear 
driving the drum?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Stus-List How not to use a Powerful Spot light

2014-03-13 Thread John Russo
One night at anchor I was wakened by the rattling of the mast rigging an

fix him by surprising him with my ship battery sourced intense narrow beamed

I've got a Stanley similar to what Rick linked to but mine is not lithium. I
paid $15 for it when it was on sale. It's really, really bright and the beam
is narrow and will go a ways. It can be locked into the on position. It is
rechargeable. About your concern though, I charge mine very rarely and it
sits unused for months at a time and always has a charge when I need it. For
that kind of money you can buy 4 of them, one of them will always be
charged!

 

I consider flashlights to be somewhat disposable. I've never had one last
longer than a few years for whatever reason; it gets lost, broken, the bulb
goes and I can't find a replacement .. whatever. I no longer spend big bucks
on flashlights when there are so many inexpensive options out there. I've
had the Stanley for a couple of years now and it hasn't quit or failed me
yet. At $15 it's hard to beat.

Rich,

I know me.  When I need the thing, it won't be charged.  It's that way with
my handheld VHF.  I only remember to recharge it before a long cruise.  I'd
go for a battery powered with spare batteries before a rechargeable light.
I have a 12 VDC receptacle at the helm station.

To Joel's point I'm often singlehanding so my paradigm is using it primarily
in the cockpit.  You and Joel raise valid points for consideration.

That's why I wanted a discussion.

I'd like some discussion on the selection criteria for a new one; not just
I have this one and I like it.  

*   For instance, can you have too many lumens?  I think you can.  How
bright is bright enough?  Too much light reflects and causes night
blindness.

*   LED vs halogen vs ??

*   If LED, number of bulbs.  Color?  Blue white?  White?

Finally, any lights that you think particularly suit the needs of sailors.

Hello all, I have my E7 at home and want to send it for replacement under
their recall.
I need to power it up to archive my routes and waypoints however the wiring
harness is at the boat (2.5 hours away).
The + and - power pins on the connector are obvious, but does anyone know
which is which, I am afraid of reversing polarity and damaging the unit.
I checked the manual and searched online but came up with nothing. Also
checked resistance between pins and casing to ID the negative pin.
However probably due to capacitance on the board, there are funky resistance
readings and its hard to tell which pin is ground.

Before wishful thinking for the 3GMF which won't fit in the 32, Yanmar does
makes a 3YM20 which is a tight fit with a mod to the glass supports and Beta
makes a Beta 20 which is a direct replacement to the 2GMF without any mods
according to boat show sales reps and installers. Both are 20 hp and exhaust
and intakes appear to be on the opposite sides compared to 2GMF. I hope my
2GMF which is very reliable last a long time even if boat is slightly
underpowered.

Yes, I did remove the mixing elbow and exhaust flange together from the
exhaust manifold..it was the only way to remove the mixing elbowand
then it was challenge to separate the mixing elbow from the flange on a work
benchbut with patience and a little help of a pipe extension on the big
wrench, it separated.

My friend that helped had 'headless bolts' can I could hand screw into the
exhaust manifold to guide the combined exhaust flange and new mixing elbow
in place.  I put two in diagonally, put the other two diagonal permanent
bolts in, removed the two 'headless bolts' and put the next 
two bolts intighten updone.   It helped when you are working on 
your side left handed.  Also put in a new gasket between the flange and
manifold.

There was no problem with the exhaust hose from the muffler back to the thru
hull...other than standing on my head working on the thru hull connection.

The problem was connecting the short 18 hose from the mixing elbow to the
muffler..because of the angle to the two and the stiffness of the
'marine grade hard walled exhaust hose' I chose, for a long time I could not
connect the hose over one of the two.the angle and stiffness of the hose
and the fact I am not able to work with both hands adequately, made it a
frustrating jobI could get one on but not the 
other.After multiple attempts, I attached the hose to the mixing 
elbow and inserted a big flat head screw driver into the hose, which gave me
the leverage to bend it enough to begin to place it over the muffler
intakea few tries with the screw driver, success and it was now
beer time.

As with every first time job, if I were to do it again (which I hope I never
have to), I could do it with more know how and less frustration.

 Working with exhaust hose can be very challenging.  When I replaced 
 mine, I used 90 degree fiberglass elbows.  It was far superior to the 
 kinked mess my boat came with.  They are much easier to put together

 along with the exhaust manifold.  It's much easier to put them in a

 Ended up taking the mixing elbow off by working from the front of the

 or bolts without heads that could be screwed into the exhaust 
 manifold to guide and hold the mixing elbow in place while you 
 attached the permanent ones.  Doing that 'blind' from the front of the

 Then attaching the hose from the mixing elbow to the new Vernalift

Subject: Stus-List Chartplotter Question

Two years ago I  replaced my old Magellan GPS (it was a dinosaur) with a
Raymarine E7 chartplotter.
I wanted it at the helm, but for expediency initially set it up at the chart
table, same place as the old one.
The plan being eventually to move it to the helm in a navpod.

However over past 2 summers its actually worked well at the chart table.
Its integrated (Seatalk NG) with my other electronics so when racing I will
pop down below and set the waypoints for the helmslady and she can see the
new course, SOG, COG, DTW, etc. on an ST60 multidisplay at the helm.
All in all not bad but I would still like to have the chart plotter at the
helm. Or at least some kind of chartplotter functionality.

What does the group think of these options:
- is there a repeater screen of some kind which can be put at the helm?
- how well do ipads work with the E7 - are they truly functional or is the
Raymarine app just a toy? 
- and the reverse - chartplotter at the helm and ipad at the chart table.
Better for sun and rain considerations.

Am headed to the Toronto boat show this weekend to explore options.
Aren't boat shows great (though for whom - the sellers or the buyers -  I'm
not sure, maybe both)

Paul,

 

Thanks for the heads up. If they are in Good condition as they appear in the
photo I would be interested if the Drum diameter at the bottom measures
4-5/8 and the overall height is 3-3/4 . I only need one and am trying to
match what I presently have on the port cabin top. I find that the Barient
#10 came in many different sizes not counting the 10P which is the smallest
of the bunch.

 

Thanks in advance for your efforts in my behalf.

 

John

Hi John,
I saw these on our local listings,
http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/barient-10-winch-pair_21171681 ,
I'm going to see the guy on Friday for some other parts, want me to take a
look at these for you?  For $80 it might be worth a punt although I have no
idea how much it would cost to ship them to you.
Cheers,

Brent the 22’s are two speed and now I will probably not get them off the boat 
until spring and am sort of contemplating their use for the spinnaker. Won’t 
know for a bit . Does your good #10 measure 4-3/8” Diameter  at the Drum base 
and 3-3/4 ‘ high? A quick peek under the base should tell you the material or I 
could look up the weight to try to determine it.

Subject: Stus-List Raymarine ST4000 autopilot problem

 

I had a problem with my autopilot today I could use some feedback on.  For
the last few weeks, the lever that engages/disengages the autopilot would
periodically release so that the autopilot ceased being able to turn the
wheel.  Once engaged, it seemed to work fine, but the initial engagement
seemed to not always stay locked in.  Today, as luck would have it, I was
maneuvering in the 10 minutes before that start gun, engaged the pilot to
make and adjustment forward, and could not get it to disengage.  The wheel
was effectively locked so I could steer with the autopilot, but not by hand.
After futzing with it for a few minutes, (trying to not hit someone trying
to start) I gave up, lowered the sails, threw out the anchor and proceeded
to remove the unit from the wheel.  We only started a few minutes late, but
it was annoying to say the least.  I have brought the unit home and I can
see no way to get inside it to see if I can figure out what is going on with
the connect/disconnect lever.  No disassembly instructions in the manual.
Is this a send it back to the factory, throw it in the trash or other
solution?  Thanks- Dave

Re: Stus-List Using a hammer drill to remove corroded fastener

2013-08-03 Thread John Russo
Pete,

 

Stainless screw corrosion to aluminum mast is probably the culprit. Heat the
screw with Napa torch until it is ret hot which breaks the corrosion then
let it cool a bit and then hit with a impact wrench and proper bit.
Generally will do it.

Hi John, great site and I hope the shoulder heals up quickly and completely.
I own a 32 as well and the pics of your running rigging improvements are

sail? My 32 has all the original hardware and sheeting in the main requires
the winch, which isn't optimal.

Re: Stus-List Electronics at the helm

2013-05-04 Thread John Russo
Remove the Binnacle guard leaving the floor mounts in place and drill holes
through the cockpit floor for the wires. Keep insides of mounts clean so
guard fits back in. I started with a small drill then over drilled in size
and then filled with epoxy to seal any coring and then drilled the size for
the wires. Pretty thick with plywood floor etc.  Then drilled hole where
wires are to come out the Binnacle guard (hardest part to do). Since I ran
many wires into an Edson pod for three instruments , I had to align holes in
each side of the Pod binnacle interface with Edson mounts so no wires are
exposed. Run the wires through before remounting the Binnacle Guard
simplifies the snaking of wires etc. Good Luck!

 A new pedestal guard seems like overkill just to run wires.  And yes, I

Re: Stus-List CC 32 Securing Anchor on Bow

2013-03-26 Thread John Russo
Al.

 

I have a 25 lb CQR anchor and put it in position on the standard 32 roller
and push the anchor pin through a hole in the anchor which was already there
and it  doesn't go anywhere. This greatly simplifies anchoring as the
hardest part for me is to get it out of the anchor locker and past the
roller furler base. I do this once a year now. I do however secure a thin
rubber matt over the anchor locker hatch so the shank does not grind it up
if it moves and it does a little. I may change this to a small piece of
outdoor carpet to avoid streaking the anchor locker hatch and can also tie
the anchor shank to the toe rail. Hope this helps

Subject: Stus-List CC 32 Securing Anchor on Bow

 

I have a Delta 22lb fast set that I would like to keep on the bow roller on
my 32 occasionally.   Last year I rigged up something with carabiners and
nylon webbing that was not particularly elegant or secure.  I have purchased
2 different anchor tensioners that I have not have the courage to install
(Windline  Lewmar).  How can I secure that thing up there with the least
amount of work?

Re: Stus-List Edson Pedestal

Kim,

If I understand your set up the screws are long and go directly into
pedestal and do not hold anything else. Keep dribbling some liquid wrench
down screws and/or squirt PB Blaster with extender tube on screw/pedestal
interface through new or any hole you find like wires for compass light.
After soaking overnight try tapping on screw driver with hammer while
turning or use small impact wrench. Grinding heads of screws will be
difficult due to tool access. Good luck!

I have been shamed into checking and lubing the steering by the crowd.
Bottom end looks fine- no meat hooks tension seems about right etc.  However
I can't get the machine screws holding the binnacle loose. Upon removing the
compass, there are four large slotted screws (with plastic/nylon isolating
washers under their heads. They head down through the bottom of the nice
chrome can that holds the compass.  Next layer of this wedding cake is the
throttle/shift piece, then a thin slice for the pedestal guard then the
actual steering pedestal.  Does any one know if these screws  actually
thread into the throttle/shift layer or just pass through all the way
through to steering pedestal itself.  Don't see any obvious way to apply
PBBlaster, heat or other means of persuasion.  If I just slice the heads off
am I going to have enough of a stub to work with or am I likely to have to
drill them out?  Guess I could leave well enough alone but that is just
asking for failure at an inopportune time

Stus-List Head replacement on CC 32

2013-03-16 Thread John Russo
I am planning on replacing the original toilet on my 1984 CC32 with a
Jabsco compact model # 29030-3000. The original toilet is a Wilcox
Crittenden and I have rebuilt the pump once without very good success.
Overall Dimensions of the two toilets are nearly identical but mounting
holes appear different. I have contacted Jabsco re mounting dimensions of
the existing toilet for info without success and looked on line without
results. Has anyone done this replacement? If I need new mounting holes how
do I  get a bolt under the boats toilet fiberglass platform and hold it to
tighten a nut on the toilet base for mounting ? Any experience or
suggestions?

Hi John,

 

I did it last September. Replaced the 1988 Wilcox with a Jabsco household
bowl. On my 38-3, there is no bolt under the toilet floor. It is solid wood
under the fiberglass, and those fasteners are wood screw studs with a round
head nuts.

 

I had to switch the pump mechanism to the left because the hole where the
hose come from the bilge was to close to the head output and I could not
properly shape the hoses.

 

I was able to reuse two of the four screw holes.

 

Hope it helps,

John,

Instead of rebuilding the head, investigate replacing the entire pump
assembly and the joker valve.  If the bowl is in good shape and you can find
the correct pump assembly, this might be a very viable option.

If you choose to replace the head, I suspect stainless hex head lag screws
will be your best option for bolting it down.  Most heads are simply screwed
down.  If indeed it is a bolt and nut underneath configuration, then look at
toggler snaptoggles.

The Nicro Marine vent on my boat is identical to the one in this video:

It appears to be an older model, obviously since it has been on the boat
since we bought it in 2006.  Unlike the newer ones, this one doesn't run
when the sun goes down.  Is that because it does not have a rechargeable
battery or is the battery to far along in its life to hold a charge?

Any idea what kind of a battery this model would take and where you you
obtain it?

One of my new solar fans caught sheets.  
I fashioned small blocks that I epoxied in front of the fan and sheets now ride 
up and over the fan, no problem.  The blocks are about 45 degrees off either 
side of center line of the fan, and about 1 1/2 high and 2 wide and work

Are the blocks angled or wedged in cross section so the lines ride up over the

Re: Stus-List Seeking Mooring/Slip between City Island and Point Judith

Bob,

We keep our boat at Captain's Cove Seaport in Black Rock Harbor Bridgeport
CT. About midway between Stonington and City Island. Great place managed by
really good people with to two lifts, excellent mechanics and service and
winter storage on  site. Rates are reasonable and slips are available with
water and power or without on the Island slips, which has free launch
service. We have been there since 2005 and highly recommend it. Check out
the web site.

My partner, Beverly Genader, and I are new to your forum.  We are not new to
CCs, our current one being my fifth.  We hope to meet you at the Mystic
event. 

We are considering moving our boat from Lake Ontario to Long Island Sound.
Great sailing on the lake but with it being two feet lower than normal our
season is over. 

We are looking for a reasonably-priced mooring or slip between City Island
and Point Judith that would handle our 6.5 foot draft.  Probably closer to
Mystic since Beverly lives in Stonington and has sailed out of Mystic for a
number of years. 

We appreciate any suggestions.

Stus-List Starting problems

2012-08-08 Thread John Russo
I just developed  intermittent electrical starting problems on my 1984 CC
32 with a 2GMF engine. I assume it is either the starting push button switch
or the Solenoid and an off to the boat to investigate and hopefully confirm
prior to a one week cruise starting this weekend. The engine control panel
is a Type B and I was wondering if anyone knew the make and/ or part #'s of
a compatible push button switch and starting Solenoid. 

 

Thanks you in advance for any answers/suggestions.
