Hey Everyone

Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback.  I have a lot to digest and 
more testing, but I’m on island time so I’ll get to it eventually.

Alan

I have the book.  To the best of my knowledge I have three ground bus bars.  
One behind the electrical panel, engine block and one in the V berth.  I 
installed the v- berth one when I installed the windlass.  The windlass grounds 
directly to the battery, however I also installed a wash down pump and 
macerator pump that are grounded to a bus bar and the that grounds to the 
windlass ground in the v-berth.  Sounds contrary to what you said.

I connected the ground from the multi-meter to the engine block.  Then I took 
the positive lead and touched it against various pieces.  Largest voltage shown 
was at the stainless tube for the centre board 0.25.  The mast and prop shaft 
showed 0.02V

I know this post is a little old.  Just wanted to know that I recently was able 
to purchase these roll pins.  I got them from MarineOutfitters in Kingston.  
Dave said they ordered them directly from Harken.  99 cents each.  Ordered 12.  
Now to drop the head sail and install a couple on the missing ones.

Thanks Joe

I think I’m suffering from stray current corrosion.  I’m on a ball at the yacht 
club and as said earlier, the only time I’m connected to AC is when Persuasion 
is on the hard.  I’ve started eliminating different devices looking for the 
leak.  A very slow process.

 Are you’re right.  I was focusing g on prevention and not on protection.  I’ll 
go to Marine Outfitters and get an anode that I am 100% sure I have the right

Stus-List Galvanic corrosion

2018-08-08 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List

Hey folks

I’m looking for some help.  Persuasion is suffering from galvanic corrosion or 
stray current corrosion or something.  When I connect a multi meter, ground to 
engine and positive lead to various place like keel bolt, mast and through hull 
I see ~0.5V.  Today I changed out the controller on the wind generator, with 
the circuit breaker open I saw 2.4V on the battery leads.  Also the prop shaft 
was tarnished looking as well as the prop when I hauled out to do the centre 
board.

Before I call in the calvary can anyone advise me how to tackle this 
methodically and what I should look for.


Thanks in advance

Hi all

A little more perspective on the centre board re- install.

From haul out to splash took about 2 hours.  Had a great volunteer crew (2) and 
the yard was exceptional.  Only charged me one way where other facilities 
wanted both ways.  And the yard let me do the work so no additional labour.   I 
love Loyalist Cove Marina.  Can I say that on this forum.

Well it’s done.  The centre board has been installed.  Like Edd I pinned it in 
place, but it is not permanent.  The pins can be removed, the pendant applied 
and it’s a keel/centre board again.   So I guess I’ll have to call Persuasion a

Stus-List Bilge blower

2018-07-19 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Well I’m in the process of replacing the bilge blower on Persuasion.  Does 
anyone know  what the original blower is.  And where can I find a guy small 
enough to crawl all the way to the back.  More importantly why am I seeing 
voltage (<1) when the switch is off.

You may be looking at the wrong standard.

From Transport Canada Marine
All extinguishers should be visually inspected each month, and serviced once a 
year. All carbon dioxide extinguishers should be weighed annually. Dry chemical 
extinguishers should occasionally be turned upside down and shaken.

A hydrostatic test should be performed:

every 12 years for pressure type extinguishers

every 5 years for carbon dioxide and water extinguishers

after discharge for any extinguisher 5 years old or older
There is a requirement for yearly certification under the Canada safety code.

Stus-List Centre board

2018-06-28 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
To all you keel/centre board owners, I’m wondering how many of you actually use 
the centre board?

Some of you may recall that the pendant let go somewhere in the Bahamas in 
14/15.  Fortunately the board was jammed up inside and had been for a number of 
years.  Upon my return to Canada I removed the board and it has been in my 
garage ever since.  Long story short it is repaired and I am ready to 
re-install the board.  I’m thinking of just pinning the board in the up 
position.  I have all the hardware but I’ve only had the board deployed 3 times 
in 12 years.  This should also relieve any maintenance issues.  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Re: Stus-List Roll pin size

2018-06-02 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Hi Tom

I also have a Harken roller and have been looking for roll pins.  On mine the 
pins are 1/8” dia and about an inch long.  Canadian Tire has 1/8X3/4.  Also 
Princess Auto as a package of 120 roll pins of various sizes.  Once I find a 1 
inch one I’ll have to file/grind to the right length.

I believe you will do more damage if you try to drill the roll pins.  They are 
very hard.  Use a new roll pin and clamp to press the old pin out.

Good luck.

 Looked up to check things aloft and noticed my radar reflector (cylinder

 plastic zip ties.only thing(s) that remained were 6 pieces of the 
 aluminum from inside the reflector that fell down.the rest must of 
 went overboard.
 
 I have never heard of this happening, ever..the radar reflector simply 
 exploded.And it was not full of water which might have expanded 
 because some years ago when I took it off the boat in the Fall, there was 
 a little water in it so I drilled a 3/16" hole in one side which always 
 then became the 'bottom' when attaching to the shroud in the Spring.
 
 Has this ever happened to anyone else?
 
 Can anyone explain how a cylinder type radar reflector can explode like 
 mine did?

Re: Stus-List Vessel documentation renewal

Marek

I believe licensing in a provincial thing, numbers.  TC registers vessels.  I’m 
with Rob I registered with TC in 2005.  To do so you have to do a vessel search 
to ensure the name you use has not already been registered.  A friend tried to 
register “Amazing Grace” and had to go with Amazing Grace XX to get a unique 
name.  Cost of registering was $250.00 at the time.  Recommended if transiting 
foreign countries.

Re: Stus-List Keel treatment

2018-05-03 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Richard

A few years back when I fixed the C&C smile I took my keel down to the bare 
lead.  At that time I read some where that epoxy wouldn’t stick to the lead 
unless it was free of oxidation.  Hard to do with lead.  I also learned that 
the best way to apply the epoxy and get it to bond was to use a wire brush.  I 
put a wire brush on my drill and polished the lead and immediately applied the 
epoxy.  Once the base coat was on I just followed normal epoxy instructions.  
Did that probably 10 years ago and when I applied the bottom paint yesterday 
everything looked liked it did way back when.

Hi Joel

I tried that a few years ago with my dodger.  I used the old frame for the 
shape and FRP from Home Depot.  Tried laminating two pieces of FRP together.  
It wasn’t rigid enough.  Also someone told me they are made with polyester

If you google hard dodger I’m sure there will be lots of sites showing what has

Re: Stus-List C&C 30 Mast weight

2018-03-13 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
I don’t know what yours weighs but mine is 399 lbs.  I know this for a fact 
because the mast crane at the yacht club has a maximum capacity of 400 lbs.  LOL

Re: Stus-List Edson wheel chain jumping links?

2018-01-24 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Hi Bruce

Your bolts don’t look original.  Mine are countersunk heads.  Mine are aluminum 
about seven inches long with stainless nuts.  When I took mine apart one on the 
bolts galled up and I had to drill the head out.  Edson no longer stocks that 
type of bolt so I went with a stainless hex head bolt like yours.

Has anyone ever rode a bicycle with a rusty chain.  Everything can be fine then 
all of a sudden the chain derails, with varying results.  Those cross bars can 
do some damage. Check every inch on the chain and de-rust and lubricate as 
necessary.

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

2018-01-16 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Sean

If I may chime in here although I have a 37.  In the last 12 years I have 
probably put the board down 3 times.  My board is currently out on the boat.  
Has been out since 2015.  This is the year to reinstall?  Any way I thinking of 
reinstalling and pinning it up and calling it a shoal draft.

As to maintenance you will have to replace the pendant every few years and the 
thimble at the board end isn’t available at the chandelier.  Got mine locally 
made at a machine shop.

The 35 may be different but I’m sure the pendant is a maintenance issue.

I lived your dream in 14/15.  Check out my blog.  Www.persuasion37.com

Agreed!  When we went south I had four electronic devices running various 
navigation programs plus at least three independent compasses.  Andrew is 
correct mix this with good seamanship and one can have a successful cruise.

Re: Stus-List C&C 34/36 kitchen shelf

2017-12-28 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
I have to respectfully disagree with everyone.  On Persuasion there are three 
tubes.  One at the chart table, one at the sink and one at the saloon table for 
the centre board pendant.  The latter is not structural.  The first two go 
through the cabin roof with a plate welded to the top and two 1/4” bolts 
(studs) welded to this plate that pass through the cabin roof.  The other end 
is bolted to the respective plywood with two 1/4” bolts with backing plates.  A 
little overkill for something decorative.

The similar tube in the 37/40 just ends under the sink and is really just a

  You'll have the usual finish work to consider when you get the shelf removed. 
 What will yo do with the metal tube?  If you remove the tube you will be left 
with a hole in the ceiling and a hole in the counter.  If you leave the tube 
you will have exposed holes in the tube where screws were used to anchor the 
shelf.  These holes in the tube will need dressed or decorated.  What about the 
wood on the remaining cabinets?   It is likely that a silhouette of the removed 
shelf will remain.  You'll also have screw holes in the wood which will need 
attention.  None of these asthetic details are show stoppers just things you 
may not have considered.  Good luck.

What's your sailing radius.  Paper charts are heavy and take up a lot of space. 
 I was once told the paper charts to go from Toronto to St. John's weighed 60 
lbs.  Heck our coast guards don't use paper any more.

Been paperless and happy for at least 5 years.

Chris

You've received lots of good advise.  One recommendation I would make is get 
Garmin Blue Charts then become an Active Captain member and download the data 
base.  I found Active Captain invaluable on our cruise to the Bahamas and back.

I use android tablet at the helm with Navionics, iPad with Garmin as back up.  
In the salon I use radar with cmap cards (old school), laptop running 
SailCruiser (cmap charts) with integrated AIS transceiver connect to ST60 
autopilot.

 Also the starter comes with a 18 months warranty, way better than the

 Subject: Stus-List Perko sea strainer failed - almost lost my boat!
 Yesterday as we were sailing back to the dock one of my crew yelled 
 'there's a lot of water down here'.  I opened the companionway steps and 
 saw water coming out of the top of the sea strainer as the water was 
 reaching the top of it.
 
 I closed the seacock and we manned the manual pump.  Once the water was 
 below the floorboards we let the electric do its job.
 
 One of the arms that held the lid in place broke at the lower end.  
 Luckily we were aboard and found the leak.  There was not excessive 
 corrosion on the strainer, so I don't think the weakness could have been 
 detected.  Time to re-think leaving seacocks open when I'm off the boat!

Those are massive hoses and through hull you have on your boat.  I'm thinking 
the strainer top is 2" and the hoses are in the 1/2" range.

I'm trying to remember there I bought my last one.  I think it was either 
Canadian Tire or Princess Auto.  I bought the cheap ones and they don't last 
long. Although the one I bought I consider it cheap as it was in the 20-25 
dollar range.

I think this is the one I've had for a few years.

Edd

When my linear drive start acting sporadic it was the brushes.  By sporadic I 
mean the autopilot would turn the wheel to come back on course then it would 
let go and just hold the last correction.  Sometimes it would just go straight 
sometimes it wanted to do circles.  The brushes were worn out and only made 
contacted with the armature occasionally.  Could not buy the brushes anywhere.  
Ended up ordering oversized ones on line and filing them to fit.  That was over 
two years ago and no issues since.

Re: Stus-List centerboard cable broken

Donald

This happened to me in the Bahamas, fortunately my board was jammed in the up 
position.  If my board was down I would be concerned it could get damaged.  I 
believe the cable can be replaced while the boat is in the water.  Your biggest 
challenge will be getting the cable end made that's attached to the board.  
I've been told they are not available so I had a machine shop make on for me.  
I could get you the dimensions but it may not be the same.  Also, I could give 
you a picture of my board as I have yet to do the reinstall.

Re: Stus-List Windlass placement

2017-03-27 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List

I installed a vertical windlass with capstan in the anchor locker.  I 
fabricated a plywood shelve in the anchor locker at the right height to ensure 
proper windlass operation.  The shelf is made of 2 layers of 3/4 inch plywood.  
I had to cut the pieces of plywood in two to install.  They are shaped to fit 
to the hull.  I also cut a hole in the anchor locker hatch to accommodate the 
capstan.  I carry 200’ 5/16 chain and usually anchor in >20 feet.  I have to 
occasionally push the stack of chain over to the side when raising the anchor.  
I believe the manual says 12 inches of free fall.  That is not enough when the 
chain starts to stack up.  It no biggy as someone is always at the bow when 
raising the anchor.

Unfortunately I’ve lost all pictures.  If you want I could take a few when I go 
back to the boat in a couple of weeks.

Subject: Stus-List Windlass placement

Currently I do not have a windlass on the boat. The anchor locker and lid takes 
up the entire bow beyond the vberth.  

In order to place the vertical rope to chain windlass on the deck requires 
placing it above the vberth and running a channel for the rode back into the 
locker. Additionally this would mean cutting into the liner inside.

There are holes in the bulkhead where there appears to have been a shelf bolted 
inside the anchor locker but going only to that seems very weak. I'm thinking 
now of reinforcing the bulkhead and sort of glassing it into the sides and then 
bolting a frame to set the windlass on and it would be fully contained within 
the locker. 

Has anyone been through this or have suggestions or notes of caution?

I installed a 450 MarineKinetix in Annapolis on my way south in 2014.  Install 
was simple.  I mounted it on a poll I purchased from e-marine.  It's aluminum 
and they coat the inside to reduce vibration and noise.   I love it when the 
wind is blowing 15+ kts.  I chose this one because I saw one on Cruising 
Solution's boat in Shelbourne NS.  Every time I went by in the dinghy I would 
stop and listen to see how noisy it was.  It was very quiet. Also I thought the 
pricing was good.

I don't believe all the hype from all the manufactures about performance.

YMMV

We did that trip in 2014/15.  Before we left I had Genco fabricate and install 
a dodger/bimini/enclosure.  I am very please with their work.  Side panels are 
removal or can be rolled up and they have screens.  If you are going the same 
route as me (out the St. Lawrence) you’ll want a full enclosure.  To see some 
pics look at my website www.persuasion37.com.  My traveller is on the coach

Subject: Stus-List C&C 33 MKI Dodger

Hi all,


After a few years of cruising Lake Ontario and the 1000 Islands in the St. 
Lawrence River I'm planning on some extended cruising next season, maybe to end 
up where winter doesn't suck.


My old 33 MKI is naked - no dodger and no bimini, and while I love that, let's 
face it, some shelter from wind/rain/sun would be damned nice, and this spring 
I'm going to bite the bullet and do it.


I would really love some opinions (and pictures?) of some designs and "dos and 
don'ts" for dodger design.  


Resolute has the traveller just aft of the companionway, which will be a bit of 
a pain for dodger design, but I'm not moving it (it's a newish traveller, and 
really really nice!).


My main concerns in the dodger design are how to handle the slope of the cabin 
top (so it looks ok) and to keep things so that the lines are clear to the 
winches with room for cranking. I could deal with a dodger being in the way of 
the more forward winches and just use the aft ones when the dodger's "trailing 
wings" are pulled back.


Last season I worked out the height - a bit lower than the boom will let me 
look through it when sitting and look over when standing (in the picture that's 
my son who is a bit taller than me!)


Image for reference: 
http://resolute.rocks//images/Resolute_port_slowsail_wkjib.jpeg


I appreciate any comments, especially those which explain what you feel like 
are mistakes on your own dodger! (and any and all pics of a 33 MKI dodger 
appreciated VERY much!)


Cheers!


Paul

I would suspect that you would use the right weight based on operating

That's the way I do it.  Check for correct fluid type.  Mine takes ATF. - .7

Isn't FRP "blasphemy" in a salon or so I thought that was the consensus when I 
did mine.  I tried the Velcro route and didn't like the look.  Too bulky at the 
edges.  I used 4200 to secure the panels.  So semi-permanent.  I re-bedded 
everything prior.  Had to brace the panels in place until the 4200 set.  There 
are a few pictures Persuasion37.com under "the boat".  I put the bubble side

I can't help you with your toenail, but I do have a word of caution.  I 
strongly recommend that you use two lines on your mooring ball.  There was a 
fellow at our club that only used one line at the start of the season, shortly 
after launch he had to be pulled off the rocks.  Also one of my lines failed 
this year.  I did like the way you secured the loop at the cleat.

Re: Stus-List Best new tablet for nav/general use

2016-11-01 Thread Persuasion37 via CnC-List
Before I went on my cruise to the Bahamas I researched tablets for 
waterproofness.  Only Sony advertised their tablet as water.  I'm not naive, I 
do not believe it to be truly water proof but splash proof yes. So I mounted 
the Sony at the helm on a home made mount.  I also carry an IPad, laptop, and 
Raymarine radar/chart plotter.  It's amazing how many times the systems didn't 
agree on my position.
