Re: Stus-List C&C 37 question

I find the 37 to be a very attractive boat, same hull lines as the 35mkIII and the 29 mkII. Very well balanced. Same with the 33 mkII and the 41 and 44, all in the same family of hulls. and the 40 would be with the 34 I would think? I've always found the 38 mkIII to have a bit too much volume (r

Re: Stus-List C&C 37 question

Andy, Would you say that the 37 is more like the 40? It appears so in the interior and deck layouts on sailboatdata.com. It seems that they are from the same era and product line. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Sep 2, 2015 10:42 PM, "Andrew Burton via CnC-List" wrote:

The 37 has a very different hull shape from the 38s. She is shorter in the ends, and has a little less spring to the sheer and a bit more freeboard, though still a very attractive boat. Underwater she concedes a lot less to the IOR, with a very fair hull shape and only a little bustle aft by the

It's all about how you use your boat. I weekend on my boat and only plug into shore power when I'm there. When I arrive, I power up my charger, air conditioning, TV etc. My marina slip contract allows power when the skipper is aboard, but charges more for people who use power 24/7. Most other bo

Interesting question. I took a cursory look at the data on Sailboatdata.com and only see one model 37, available as std, CB, and SD models. Then there is a listing for a 37-2 and the 37/40, but both of these are 39.5 feet long. But I got curious when I looked at the rig and interior layou

The big downside to the instant water heaters, besides the electrical draw, is the total temperature rise.

My boat has a combination 120 VAC 1.5 kW electric/engine coolant hot water heater. It holds 6 gallons of fresh water. For grins, I tried it on the battery/inverter and it drew 117 amps DC. This is consistent with the unit’s rating as the battery voltage dropped below 12 VDC when tried. Since

It is not going to ever run on 12 volts. You would have to find 12 volt heating elements that were 1800 watts, which I am 99.9% sure do not exist. The power wire to run this would be like 2/0 gauge as well, which is VERY expensive wire. BTW – this thing is going to be an extreme torture test

You are talking about taking almost 40AH from your house bank to take a 15 minute shower. If your bank is 200AH that’s a 20%. Not sure if you have flooded lead acids or AGMs, but they are around 300-500 cycles. So it’s a safe bet that after 300-500 showers you need to buy new batteries. If

Re: Stus-List Hot water tank

I did some rough math and it looks like you'll need ~38Ahrs of power for a 15 minute shower. Your inverter will be drawing 150amps through the supply wires and your alternator would have to recharge that amount. With the stock alternator (35amps) it would take over and hour. I do think I remembe
