Re: Stus-List Stuffing box options on LF38

Patrick, I followed the Riveted blog last summer as my father-in-law was on the same trip to Alaska in his classic Monk designed power boat. The guys at PYI should be able to confirm if the increased potential for contact with oil is a concern. That is something I have not faced as all of

Re: Stus-List Stuffing box options on LF38

Thanks, it's definitely sounding like the way to go. I'm just extra cautious when it comes to something enclosing a big hole in the boat. And I like simple systems, and the PSS is definitely more complex than a traditional stuffing box. But it sounds like PYI's 6 year recommendation is just them

Re: Stus-List Diesel fuel lines questions

Except perhaps for the injector pump to cylinder hoses (which are likely metal), any diesel fuel hose of the correct size will likely work fine. A word of warning--these hoses are notorious for variations between the OD and ID so do not assume that if your hose is marked 5/16" on the outside

It appears that my sliding hatch is leaking--water drips from if when it rains, etc. After 21 years and multiple wire runs for instruments, etc., etc. I no longer remember how this hatch was in its original, non-leaking state. Currently it simply slides on 1 x 2" teak (?) boards which are

Sounds like someone took the time to have hydraulic hoses made for the purpose of carrying fuel. Yes, some bleeding on the supply side will probably be needed. The air tends to collect in the tops of filters. Josh On Apr 24, 2016 6:09 PM, "Danny Haughey via CnC-List"

Re: Stus-List Depth transducer throughhull leak

I had a leak on my newly installed transducer on launch. Swapping out the plug and replacing it with the actual transducer solved that. I'll get new o-rings for the (brand new) blanking plug and try again. It might be worth a try if the leak is through the housing rather than outside. Tim

Re: Stus-List Diesel fuel lines questions

Thanks for chiming in guys.  The lines currently are pre-made with what look like flare fittings on the end.   The hose is coveted in some kind of sleeve that looks and geeks like fabric.  They are permeating pretty badly and making the whole boat smell like diesel. I'm guessing there is more

Re: Stus-List Diesel fuel lines questions

Danny, If we’re talking about rubber fuel lines, yes, any lines that meet the marine spec for the fuel you use (diesel or gas) will work. Most rubber fuel hoses don’t use fittings, although I have seen some premade one that do use crimped on fittings. More information would be useful.

Sorry for so many questions, but I bit off a bit much on this haul-out... and I searched the list archives but didn't find much discussion of alternate stuffing boxes. My stuffing box is also seized and the packing needs to be replaced. On the LF38 the stuffing box is under the engine oil pan

Re: Stus-List Depth transducer throughhull leak

Is it leaking between the hull and the thruhull or between the transducer and the thruhull? If the transducer is removable and has O ring seals it is possible to remove and clean or replace the O rings while afloat. Martin Calypso 1971 C 43 Seattle

Re: Stus-List Depth transducer throughhull leak

If you're willing to dive on it, a fillet of underwater epoxy around the transducer on the outside might get you through the season. Of course, then you would have the epoxy to deal with on the next haulout. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 24 April 2016 at 08:00, Michael

Re: Stus-List 30-1 Displacement (was Re: Early 30-1 Interior Doors)

We should remember that the displacement given in the specs is a displacement calculated by the designer. Actual weight depends on how much the builder was successful in meeting the specs, especially with the hand laying of fiberglass. Most boats are actually a little heavier than their specs
