Re: Stus-List faulty fuel gauge or sensor

Thanks.  I know how to read a multmeter.  Now all I need is for the temperature to drop below 100 degrees so I don't die from the heat.  FrankC 29  On Friday, July 22, 2016 10:06 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: The fuel level sender is just a variable

Re: Stus-List faulty fuel gauge or sensor

The fuel level sender is just a variable resistor. There should be 1 wires going to the sender. The resistance is that felt from the sense wire to ground. As the level changes the voltage dropped across this resistance changes and in turn is registered on the gauge. The easy way to check the

Re: Stus-List faulty fuel gauge or sensor

Frank, If you have access to a multi-meter, measure the resistance across the sender; it should read about 30 ohms for full and 240 ohms for empty. An open circuit (a bad connection or maybe a faulty sender) would show empty (>240 ohms). Regards, Tim > On Jul 22, 2016, at 8:45 PM, Franklin

Stus-List faulty fuel gauge or sensor

Is there a simple way to check out the fuel level sensor to see if it is working properly?  The fuel gauge reads zero even though the tank is about half full. Frank___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you like what

Re: Stus-List Replacement Handrails

Thanks for all the responses guys. I lucked out and found a 10' x 6&3/4" x 4/4 teak board in Colorado Springs, and bought it for $219. So we'll cut & rout a pair of one-piece rails from it, and probably have enough stock left over to replace other teak pieces around the companionway, etc.

Re: Stus-List wind data snafu

Any coil of wire/generator can have large induced current/voltage if near a lightning strike which produces a very large EMF field locally. This field propagates out from the strike (following ~ 1/r law) inducing currents in any nearby motor/generator/etc. Of course, the induced current/voltage

Re: Stus-List Replacement Handrails

You can always make 2 handrails in the 117" length--just split the length somewhere in between bolts. This will allow you to use much shorter teak boards. However, I changed mine to SS nearly 15 years ago and I would never even consider teak again. All that maintenance time is now spent

Re: Stus-List Replacement Handrails

Randy, I had the same problem so I made them into two sections as it is common for larger boats. It works well and easier to build. Also, A more reasonably priced alternative to Teak is Sapele which is in the same family as mahogany. My two forward shorter grab rails are actually Sapele and

Randy,   I have purchased from this guy in Florida three times and had great service.  Teak was $110, Shipping was less than 30 dollars to cincinnati, Ohio.  FEQ teak.  I could send pictures of two sets of handrails I built to you offline.    His contact info: Rex Rothing 305.453.0102

Re: Stus-List Replacement Handrails

Hi, I had mine redone , first in Jatoba , very nice appearance but very very hard ( must be cut with cobalt blade ), and while sanding it fell from 3-4 feet on the concrete floor, it splitted as a result so I went with IPE ( IPÉ in french ), pretty much teck-like  but instead of turning grey it

Re: Stus-List Diameter of 33-2 Deck Pump Out Fitting?

The universal fit Edson nozzle has a “splash guard” and won several innovation awards when it was developed several years ago. Seems like a simple enough idea and something you don’t necessarily think of until you accidently pull the nozzle away from the deck fitting but there’s still stuff in

Re: Stus-List Barient 22 Winch

Sounds like a good solution. To get the same effect at the dock, you could probably run a line (jib sheet might be a good candidate) between the two winches and tighten it up just enough to hold them in place. Sam 35-3 Scoundrel (f/k/a Spanish Dancer) SF On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 5:53 AM, robert

Moving forward with this project. Thanks Bill Bina for recommending http://www.teakmarinewoodwork.com/hand_rails.htm - I got a quote from them but it was cost-prohibitive ($760 for two rails plus $385 for shipping from Tampa to Denver). I've decided to fabricate my own, as one of my crew is
