Stus-List Re: Accurate Fuel Tank Measurements

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I use my Hobbes meter.  I take a picture at each fill-up and try to keep 
the tank at least 1/2 full. I have a pretty accurate picture of my per 
hour consumption. Seems close enough for me.

I like to keep my fuel tank as full as possible as the best way to keep out 
water.

Can anyone share their procedure to determine (with reasonable accuracy) how 
much fuel their tank holds, at any given time?
While I have a fuel gauge, it isn’t very accurate as it under-estimates how 
much fuel is in tank (by several gallons).
I’m thinking of trying to use a wood or plastic dowel, but that would require a 
“straight shot” to the tank bottom (I.e., no bends or obstructions).
Any thoughts?

Stus-List Re: Masthead unit for Raymarine I50 dislays

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

In spite of what they say the new masthead unit is not compatible with the i60 
instruments.  The direction it's fine, but the wind speed adjustment available 
is not sufficient to compensate To get the old head to like the new data 
protocols.  I would think it is the same, or worse, for the i50 series.

I ended up getting a new head and having to also install the various "talk" 
conversions.

Stus-List Re: To sell or not to sell

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I'll third that.  Between eastern lake Erie and and western lake Ontario 
there are more well kept C's that any other area in the world.  I got 
my Alera from Niagara on the Lake on Lake Ontario, where she was made.  
She was on the hard at the Niagara on the Lake Sailing Club and we 
shipped her to the Pacific Northwest.   I was b;pen away by the yard at 
the NoL Sailing Club...over 60% of the sailboats there were classic (pre 
93) C Not too sure about Lake Erie,, but I suspect there is a 
healthy population of C there as well.


I'm sure you can find your next boat there.

Thomas,

4k is very cheap for trucking a boat. Does that include hauling 
demasting, loading and unloading — and then restepping?


My advice is that you are probably better off selling down there and 
shop for a new boat up north.


All the best,

Greetings all -
Long-time follower, believe this is my 1st post.  …welcoming all input 
/ advice from the elders…

-sorry in advance for the long post -

Background: My boat “Therapy” (29 mkII) currently is berthed in 
Solomons MD. I moved to Buffalo NY this past fall (the “why” is a long 
story …planning on trucking her here this spring (have quotes etc).
Debating about selling her in MD vs the ~$4k moving cost.   I have put 
extensive work ($) in her over the past 5 yrs: new electronics w/NMEA 
2000 /  running rigging / interior / exterior cushions / Bimini & 
dodger / traveler & main sheet; lifelines,  lights; among other things.
I know most of that doesn’t translate to much add’l value….online ads 
range from $teens to low $20s.
My main question..thoughts on the least-bad option:  sell in MD or 
bear the cost to truck her to WNY?

I believe she’s worth about $20k…thinking realistically.
Before y’all think I’m throwing out the anchor - there is a very nice 
35-Mk III for sale locally…!


Cheers !

Our club has a group discount at Fisheries that I am happy to share.  
The more it is used the deeper the discounts go.  The actual discount 
amount varies from item to item.  But, in some areas it can be 
significant.  They also give a 10% discount for the first 90 day you own 
your boat.


Call in a mention Quartermaster Yacht Club and have them set up an 
account for you that is tied to the club discount.


The only other chandlery I can recommend is Hodges Marine. 
https://www.hodgesmarine.com/   They beat Fisheries and pretty much 
anywhere else on marine electronics including Raymarine.

My feeling about boat shopping is that you will know her when you see her.

On 2/23/2023 4:48 AM, Danny Haughey via CnC-List wrote:
I'm not sure there is much research that went into this comment.  Most 
of the boats you listed have been around for decades and some are 
amazingly designed and of high quality construction.  I think Andy was 
talking more about the triangular shaped, (in plan) modern boats that 
are almost catamaran-like.  These boats are, lightweight, flat 
bottomed boats, with a hard chine on each side,  In essence, creating 
2 hulls, one for each tack.  However, the interior vary, Moody's 
interior are very traditional, with plenty of wood, curved corners and 
plenty of hand holds.  The older Hylas, oyster, Holland boats, I'm 
looking at are pretty traditional.  One is even designed by Sparkman 
and Stevens.
This will be our 4th sail boat, hence, our 4th shopping experience, 
and one thing I can say with certainty, is there are plenty of 
surprises in boat shopping.  You simply can't make these sweeping 
generalizations with any degree of certainty. There are some 
beautifully fitted out Bavaria's from the late 90s early 2000s.  The 
boat shows simply can't be a real gauge of the used boat market.  
Hell, Catalina actually produced an amazingly well build 38 footer 
that was designed by Sparkman and Stevens with plywood cored decks and 
solid fiberglass hull.
Making an argument as to why you're hanging onto your boat is great.  
But to dismiss quality brans, wholesale like that, is just not helpful 
banter.  Thanks for the input, though.

someasked him what to avoid, he said..."... I’m just not a fan of that 
ilk. Plus the interiors tend to be a bit ikea-ish with lots of sharp 
corners and few handholds."


Andy, thank you, thank you; I have long felt that way, and it is nice 
to hear a person with your experience (and credentials) finally say it!
That is a major reason I have held on to my C 37;  boats that can 
provide what it provides are going to cost 10 times what I have in my 
boat and don't handle as well..!

I used that in the chain trough between the roller and the locker to avoid

I use Watco Teak oil available at Home Depot and Lowes if that's what 
your referring to.   I usually wipe the wood down with a cleaner like 
diluted Pinesol in a spray bottle.  Then I clean the wood with 
Denatured Alcohol and let dry.  Then use a soft terry cloth rag to 
wipe on some teak oil.  Let soak in and wipe off any excess.  It 
seals the wood and hides any dings and makes look very nice.

The problems are very sporadic and are not consistent by any means. I

I am still using Windows Live Mail from Windows Essentials (no longer

I had the wheel pilot on Alera, my 37+/40.  It may fine for for your intended

of failure is the reduction gear.

I went with below deck and regret not doing is years ago.

Stus-List Re: Prepping for overland transport

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

With such a short haul, I don't know if this 
would be worth the effort.  But when we brought 
Alera from Niagara on the Lake to Seattle, Rob 
MacLachlan,  of South Shore Yachts who 
de-commissioned her for transport, suggested we 
cover the hull with a layer ofJoy dish soap.  We 
did and when she got here we washed it off and it 
took the road grit and salt with it.

Hi all,

The excellent advise a couple weeks ago on 
replacing standing rigging led us down a rabbit 
hole. Long story short, we are now getting ready 
to have our 25, Sweet Chariot, moved from 
Washington DC to Solomons MD on the Chesapeake. 
A much longer drive, but better sailing and boat yard options.


We've never had her moved by trailer, and I'm 
curious what we should expect of the hauler. One 
says we should have the boat fully prepped with 
mast secured to deck. Another said they prefer 
to do it all themselves (which I also prefer).Â


Any tips for getting her ready for a road trip 
or dealing with boat haulers? We've checked with 
a few people in the area, but any recommendations would be appreciated as well!


Thanks!
Stephen

Stus-List 1980 40 Cheetah needs TLC

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I senior member of our Yacht club has pretty much 
abandoned his 1980 C 40.  He is very motivated 
to sell her but not willing to do much to get her 
sold.  She is not listed anywhere yet...


Cheetah was raced for years and has a decent 
complement of both racing and cruising 
sails.  The westbrook diesel was disassembled to 
clean some salt crystals out of the exit area 
from the exchanger and not reassembled.  So, she 
has not been run in 2-3 years along with 
everything else that goes with letting a boat sit 
for that long.  But she is a C and he may be 
willing to sell her to the right buyer for cheap!


If you are interested his name is Pete Clarke and 
he can be reached at pgr...@comcast.net.

Stus-List Intermittent stalling

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

We are off on a two week cruise.  Second day running the engine starts to 
falter, then stall. I check the Racor, no water.  I did replace the fuel pump 
last year after we ran out of fuel w the fuel tank half full.  But it seemed to 
be fine.

She started and we stopped in a Edmonds to top off the tank, but it only took 7 
g.

She then ran pretty solid for the next 2 hours with only a few issues.

I have  not changed the fuel filters for about 150 hours over two years.

I am thinking that either the filters need replacing or the fuel pump just does 
not lift the fuel enough.

Any help is appreciated.

Stus-List 3HM35F oil capacity puzzle

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

Every time I change oil on Alera I check the engine spec for the Yanmar 3HM35F 
that calls for 5.7 quarts.  I have never been able to get more than 4 quarts 
out or in.

I use an electric pump extractor via the dip stick hole.  I understand that the 
angle of the engine on my 37+ results in the oil laying at the aft end of the 
pan and try to make sure the tube gats all the way back there.

Anyone else been able to replace over 4 quarts!

A well earned victory!

Well, almost five years later, I finally did 
this clutch adjustment, following the procedure 
in the Moyer manual.  The actual adjustment was 
pretty straightforward; no problems there except 
the contortions required to access the gearbox 
from the lazarets of a 30 MK I.  I turned the 
adjustment collar only one notch.  However it 
was a bit of a struggle to get everything 
reassembled.  I had to re-tap one of the bolt 
holes to make its bolt thread.  And I had to 
disconnect the shift cable to get the starboard 
two bolts aligned through its angle iron and 
gearbox access plate, then re-connect the shift 
cable ensuring correct adjustment.  But, good 
news, last night I pushed her throttle wide open 
with five guys on board, and drove her at 6+ 
knots under power.  I haven’t been able to do 
that since buying the boat - before, her clutch 
would slip beyond half-throttle.

Randy,
Probably a pretty straight forward  adjustment 
in the gear box. Mine did this when I bought it 
and a knowledgable A4 mechanic fixed it in 
about an hour after unknowledgeable mechanics 
dorked around for many hours on cables, props, 
etc. and many hundreds of dollars. There is 
definitely help to be had on the Moyer forums 
for this exact issue. It is also covered in 
detail on the Moyer A4 overhaul manual.


If you are handy you can fix it yourself in 
about 30 minutes. You take off the gearbox 
cover plate, remove a set screw that holds a 
clutch ring/collar thing in place, rotate ring 
one way or the other one notch, put screw back 
in, do not drop screw down inside gearbox, test 
it out. It may make getting the engine in or 
out of gear a bit harder, there is a trade off. 
There is also an after market collar with 
notches closer together to avoid the too much too little issue.
There are times when you need to know that you 
have maximum thrust - like when you are about 
to ram another boat or dock. To my mind this is 
a serious safety issue. A young, strong crewman 
fended my stern off when this happened to me 
while backing out of my slip in high wind. I 
parked the boat immediately and called a yard with A4 experience.
If you cannot find the adjustment instructions 
on the Moyer site, contact me off list and I will send you a PDF.

You may find that the engine is moving

older/softer engine mounts the thrust may be 
moving the engine closer/further from the

so this doesn't happen but if the cable of

the problem.  Get a partner to create the 
problem while you are watching the engine.


It could also be as simple as adjusting the cable.

Stus-List Re: Atomic 4 trouble shootings

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I shredded several knuckles on my 35 MK1 working 
on the A4.  Moyer is indeed the best source for info and support.


For electronics, in addition to the distributor, 
check your plug wires too.  Make sure the plugs 
and points are properly gapped.


I agree that sticking valves are often the 
issue.  The nice thing about the flathead A4 is 
that you can see the valves through the spark 
plug hole.  Put some Marvel Mystery Oil into each 
cylinder.  Then hand crank the engine while 
looking at the valves in each cylinder.   If one 
or more are stuck you should be able to get it to move with a screw driver.


I ended up pulling the head off and working on 
the valves, head and block.  The water passages 
in the block were my biggest issue.  Crud and a 
few chunks of impeller were the causes.  I used 
the Moyer flush kit and replaced the heat 
exchanger.  Never had issues after that.


Could also be a gunked up carb.  If non marine 
fuel was used there could be a bunch of gunk in 
the float reservoir or jets.  I just replaced 
mine new for old.  Rebuilding it also works.


The A4 it a simple machine.  I'm sure you will 
get it up and running just fine, in time.

Can I suggest the Moyer forum for A4 questions? 
There is a lot of expertise there on A4s not restricted to A4s in C


Also I think from the sounds of it you may have 
a stuck valve or 2 or 3. They will collectively 
get you running again. Probably the first 
question will be compression numbers for all 4 cylinders.

Hello

You may remember a few months ago I asked some 
questions about rewiring the panel. I appreciate 
the advice at that time.  After approx 50 hours 
I am mostly done, it's not perfect but vastly 
improved.  I built a harness from the panel 
switches to my converted cutting board (it was 
almost the right size and cost $7.00 as I didn't 
want to use plywood) distribution system.  All 
connectors were replaced, properly crimped and 
insulated heat shrink to seal the connectors.


 I still have some heat shrink on the main 
cables (the elec tape is temp while testing 
circuits  tonight )and a bit of tidying/labeling to do.


Here are some before and almost complete pictures.
https://www.dropbox.com/sc/nwdix2tprxtwrei/AACZ-0O_x9uw95LgakLVR1xHa

This should be a little easier if I need to trace circuits.

It doesn’t have to be rod again, does it? Dynaform wire or Dyneema maybe?

Stus-List Re: C 40

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

Speaking of C 40's, I was down at our club 
today hanging out on Alera, under the winter 
cover that still has to come off.  As I walked 
the docks I saw that there is a 40 there that has 
been neglected.  I checked and according to the 
registration sticker on it, it looks like has not 
been used since 2017.  I called the club 
dock-master and apparently the owner is on notice 
to vacate the slip by the end of this month as 
the club requires boats to be both properly 
maintained and used.  This is neither.


I reached out to the owner but have not heard 
back yet. Not sure of the year but from the cut 
of the ports I suspect it is from the late 
80s.  If anyone in the PNW or anywhere else with 
the will to relocate the boat is interested, I'll 
see what the deal is the let everyone know.  I 
think it would be an awesome deal for 
someone.  Maybe even a freebee! (Yes Dave, I'm thinking of you and Dave).

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I get what you're going through.  I'm 73 and my 
wife Lynn is only a few years behind me and we 
only cruise together; never with a crew except for day sails.


The idea of getting around to our favorite spots 
in hours instead of days is quite 
attractive.  But the related costs and noise have 
been serious issues.  The 37+ is just the perfect 
boat for us in so many ways it is hard to 
consider moving to the dark side.  Though it may 
be inevitable as we slowly deteriorate into 
useless blobs of rotting flesh...Gosh.. that got a little dark.


Anyway...best of luck and I hope you don;t get booted by Stu!

I am certain my bilge pump switch is more 
reliable than the wifi. In the winter I have a 
garboard plug so it’s not an issue then. I 
wanted to be able to monitor systems from 
anywhere and I have wifi. I get a little rain 
water in the bilge through the mast but it’s 
not usually a problem, cold beer isn’t a 
necessity either but it’s nice, I have a solar 
panel so battery power isn’t usually an issue 
either. And I live 20 minutes away from the 
boat. Do I need it? No. Would I use it? Yes 
absolutely! Realistically I can monitor our home 
from my cell phone too, I just enjoy the 
relatively inexpensive convenience and peace of mind.

IMHO, they're superior to any others.  I've

the last 3 decades. I've not observed one 
single USS bilge switch failure.  The SR model 
has a lifetime warranty.  The others a 5 year warranty.

Stus-List Re: Anchor chain hook on bow?

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I mounted one of these between the locker and the 
roller.  I bungie it  up when dropping and let it 
ride on the chain on the way up.  I also use it 
to take the tension off the windlass any time the anchor is set or up.

Hello all,

I was reading through one of the sailing 
magazines, and there was commentary about the 
value of a windlass or "at least an anchor 
chain hook" you can use to take a break when hoisting anchor.


While I don't feel the need for a windlass yet, 
I have had situations when raising the anchor 
where I've needed to wrap chain around one of 
the forward cleats because a wind gust is 
blowing me off.  This usually results in some 
chain finding its way through my hands, and 
much more concerning is the chance for hands to 
be caught between the chain and the cleat with 
crushingly obvious consequences.  If I had the 
ability to easily hook the chain to hold it 
while the bow swings off the wind or for the 
purposes of pulling the hook out of the mud would be helpful.


Is there such a hook that can be permanently 
mounted on the bow/anchor roller where I could 
simply put the chain under moderate tension for 
a minute or two while things get sorted out?


Thanks in advance for your insights,

On my ‘85 37, I’m thinking of mounting heavy

more structure in the bow but your thoughts are 
welcome on possible issues from this 
arrangement. It does reduce access to the locker 
somewhat, but a 10” shelf out of 28” opening allows some room yet.


Thoughts?

Rolly Tasker makes a lot of sails for other

Quantum. I have had Doyle sail before and their 
service and quality were great. Made in St.Pete 
Fl. right up the road. 100 miles.
Quantum sails with almost identical specs comes 
in about 400 bucks lower but are made in 
Sri  Lanka. Service is relatively close on on 
the east coast of Fl. Given between the two, what might you buy.
Has anybody had experience with the SriLanka

Stus-List Re: steering wheel cover

[Tom Buscaglia]

I’ll second boatleather.com.  Great winter project.  I went with the light 
leather and the pad option.  Feels great under hand...

I used my bicycle stand to mount the wheel which made stitching easier.

Stus-List Re: New sails

[Tom Buscaglia]

I'll second for UK.  We got a new main and 145 
genny from, Stewart at UK Sails NW in Sidney 
BC.  He gave us a Boat show discount in August 
and that, along with the exchange rate.  Made it a great deal.


We don't race, but I love the sails.  They were 
made in the Chicago loft as well.  He even 
brought them down the us in Vashon Island, 
outside of Seattle, and set them up.  This was 
especially good due to my prior nightmare with 
our main due to a bad build for the Schaefer In Boom furling set up.


They are shown here -

preventer set up here for a second as well.

At the end of last season we decided to replace

both but the UK Genoa was a real favorite.  The 
UK Sails were manufactured in the Chicago 
loft.  They came out and measured the boat to 
make the sails.  We weren't sure we would get 
the sails since Illinois was shut down tighter 
than Michigan but they worked on sails orders 
while "making PPE".  The only thing that they 
missed was putting on Sail Numbers and the logo 
on the main.  They are taking the sails back now 
that the season is over to add the numbers and 
logo.  They are even adding draft stripes to make up for the miss.


The sails have met all of our expectations and 
it is nice having a "local" loft to deal with.

Stus-List Re: A4 Running Rough

[Tom Buscaglia]

Randy

My 35 MK1 had an A4.  I ended up pulling the head 
and refacing the carb before it got smooth.  I 
also had to flush out the cooling jacked in the engine.


AS far as rough running, yes to Marvel.  IN 
addition to the carb, you may also want to pull 
the spark plug and pour a little into each 
cylinder.  And while you have the spark plug out 
you can try to see the valves and release a stuck 
valve (if that's your issue) by putting a 
screwdriver into the cylinder through the spark 
plug whole and seeing if you can push the stuck 
valve down.  Just manually rotate the crank a few 
times to make sure you can check them all.  It is 
a standard flathead configuration, if that 
helps.  That actually worked for me on one valve.


The oth4 trouble po9nt as the carb.  My 35 had 
been sitting for a few year and the float in the 
carb was filled with a growth that resembled the 
inside of a malted milk ball.


Finally, you can get a tome of support and parts 
for your A4 at https://moyermarine.com/.  I could 
not have done my engine tear down without their support.

This will usually free up a stuck valve and

Considering the present amount of work you described and the offshore voyage, 
I’d call a trucker.  We brought our boat out to Seattle from Niagara on the 
Lake, ON.  WE USED Andrew’s trucking.  A Canadian company that did all the 
factory deliveries for the C factory there, back in the day.

I know ghetto do point to point and pre COVID they had trucks going all over 
the ola e is different directions.  The truck the dropped off our boat was 
headed to CA to pick up a delivery to FL.  So, who knows.  Here’s their site -

Repairs and new bottom paint should be complete 
by the end of next week, weather permitting.  Touche' will be a new boat!


The sad part is Touche's pier in Pensacola was 
severely damaged during the storm and must be 
rebuilt.  I will have to bring Touche' back to 
my other slip in Louisiana for a few 
months.  It also means there is no place to 
dock Touche' after splashing in order to 
provision it for the trip.  Since the now 
condemned pier was at the same shipyard, they 
have been very accommodating since Touche' was a 
long term tenant.  I scheduled the last slot 
for their work week for splash next 
Friday.  Since the haul out bay will not be 
needed until Monday morning, the shipyard is 
allowing me to keep the boat in the haul out bay 
for the weekend.  We'll provision it and depart Saturday.

Keeping moisture out of the oil is another key

dry, the rings from sticking, the cylinders 
from rusting and the boat warm enough to prevent the bilge from freezing.

Regarding sitting - after winterizing the engine

without issues or leaky seals or anything since 
(had to replace a bad fuel pump and glow plug 
relay). So 5-6 months over the winter doesn’t seem like a big deal.


I don’t generally put a lot of hours on the 
engine <50/year and this year I have only put 
about 25 hours on the Westerbeke 20B2 in 
Wisper.  We are hauling out on Monday. I have 
been pondering if it really makes sense to 
change the oil and oil filter at that point (per 
the change it every fall on haul out 
philosophy). Or is that is a waste of resources 
and oil (more from an environmental perspective 
then $ costs) and I should just wait for it to reach 100 hours to change it.


Any thoughts?

In 2005 we lived in Miami when Katrina crossed 
the state on the way to the gulf and then we got 
pounded by Wilma, a CAT 5.  Two hits in one year 
did it for us.  The Admiral said, that's it.  The 
next year we sold our Coconut Grove home and 
moved to Vashon Island, outside of Seattle.  It 
may be on a fault line, but earthquakes occur way 
less often than these monster storms.


Hunker down and stay safe.

I'm pretty sure you have a 30-2...if so, Tim 
Seppala at the Burton Boatyard, adjacent to the 
Quartermaster Marina, might be the most 
economical and convenient option for you.  He did 
all of the work on my old 35 MK 1 and does good 
work at a good price.  His phone numbers are 
206.463.6213 or 206.713.2532 to check.  If you do 
decide to go there, let me know.  I live near the 
marina and can give you a lift to the Telequah ferry.

A fellow from our club on Vashon got beat up 
pretty bad at the Gig Harbor marina.  I use CRS 
in Des Moines.  They do my bottom paint and allow 
me to come on site to do the topsides and prop

Aside from the PITA in getting there and back by

3. A relief valve’s point of discharge shall 
be at least 20 inches (508mm) distant from any 
opening to a cabin or the hull interior. i.e. 
your tank is right next to the blower intake (or exhaust, I'm not sure which).


Don't get me wrong, I've wrestled with the same 
issues and it is near impossible to meet all 
requirements in a retrofit. My propane system 
isn't connected right now, until I have a better 
plan in place (and my composite tank is expired anyway).
