Re: Stus-List Cabin Heat

That all depends on how they get plumbed in. The way the A4 works the heater is in the heat exchanger loop after the thermostat, so it is not providing “extra” cooling. The A4 does not have a separate heater loop like many diesel engines (and car engines for that matter). Joe Della Barba

Stus-List Chain Plate Bolt Torque

Anyone know what the factory torque specification was on the chain plate bolts in a C&C27 MKIII? These are the fairly narrow stainless steel chainplates. I don't trust the standard bolt torque table recommendations for this application since these are compressing against a wooden composite, and

Hi, I just checked to see how the race was going for Deja Vu. At 9:00AM, Steve Thorne is just shy of the finish by 1.7NM. Given delays in reporting data, he has likely finished. Congratulations! Reading the news updates from the race website is interesting. "Several of the boats that have

Not sure if this needs a separate thread but I've been looking at the Dickinson heaters, the Propane P9000. I don't have diesel on board and my early 32 doesn't have a propane locker. Seems you can run these things off of 1lb disposable tanks but if I'm reading it correctly, they must be located ou

Besides for the danger, those 1 pound bottles would not last long at all. We had a solid fuel heater on a wooden ketch we used to have when I was young. It was nice on a chilly morning. Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:

Steve — I’ve got a Dickinson P12000 on my LF38, and love it. However, I’ve got a propane locker with two five-pound tanks in it; I teed off from the feed to the galley range (after the solenoid, inside the locker) and ran a separate propane line to the heater. In your case, you would have to h

Re: Stus-List Cabin Heat

As we found out the hard way, those propane lockers are for looks, not gas-proofing. We had a job to switch a Bristol 40 from kerosene to propane heat and cooking. One of those lockers installed below got a very quick veto from the surveyor. They can be installed on deck for looks, but the lid c

Re: Stus-List Cabin Heat

For the small (1lb) tanks, a friend mounted a piece of PVC pipe to his push pit with a couple of big hose clamps. Cap on bottom, glued - removable cap on top - tall enough for two. He could take the tank out for his BBQ. Could be adapted with a solenoid for interior use. Gary St. Michaels --

Some good ideas, thanks guys. I've also wondered about the solid fuel heaters, but they seem to be rated for smaller boats. At first glance, charcoal briquettes seem like a neat fuel management solution. Are they? Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 12:36 PM, Bill Bina - gmail vi

Re: Stus-List Cabin Heat

We used driftwood for fuel. They really don’t heat up the whole boat, the air circulation isn’t good enough. None of the bulkhead heaters work as well as forced air heat. Charcoal AFAIK puts out much more CO than wood. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf O
