Re: Stus-List Angled Prop Shaft

Hi I have a 1981 34 with an angled shaft. As mentioned it is to allow the shaft to come out without dropping the rudder. On my boat I believe it accentuates the prop walk in reverse. The boat has wicked prop walk, which is definitely not a feature. Don Jonsson Swansong C&C 34 Victoria, B.

Re: Stus-List Prop question

Hi Matthew, I had a similar problem this spring - had to pull my prop, a fixed two-blade, to replace it with a new Gori folding prop. I think the old prop had been on there about 22 years. I got it off with a 6" two-jaw puller from Harbor Freight. First I tried with a three-jaw 8" puller but

Re: Stus-List Angled Prop Shaft

It's to allow you to pull the prop shaft without having to drop the rudder. My C&C 30 MK I has the same design. Cheers, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30-1 #7 Ken Caryl, CO - Original Message - From: "Richard Gotthardt via CnC-List" To: "cnc-list" Cc: "Richard Gotthardt" S

Re: Stus-List Angled Prop Shaft

Sounds like a Sabre. Reason depends on who you ask. For right hand prop, the offset to port will reduce prop walk in reverse. On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 9:02 PM Richard Gotthardt via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I was looking at a 1981 34 today and noticed that the prop shaft was > s

Stus-List Angled Prop Shaft

I was looking at a 1981 34 today and noticed that the prop shaft was slightly angled off the center line towards the port side. Is that by design to counteract prop walk? ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you wish to

Re: Stus-List Prop "treatment"

He may have sprayed the prop with a zinc based paint.my brother does it on his boat and it seems to work.he offered the paint to me this Spring but I launched before I got a chance to paint the prop. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S. On 2017-05-07 4:28 PM, David Knecht via CnC

Re: Stus-List Prop question

Sometimes the application of some heat helps the prop let go. Put a wet rag over the cutlass bearing, otherwise it will get roasted. A small propane torch usually doesn't generate enough heat, but is worth a try. Jake Jake Brodersen C&C 35 Mk-III "Midnight Mistress" Hampton VA

Re: Stus-List Prop "treatment"

David, I don't use any treatment on my prop either. I clean the boat about every two weeks. The prop has stayed clean so far this year, but I know that barnacles will be attaching to it soon. They do every year. I keep after them with a putty knife and scotchbrite pad. As long as I keep it

Re: Stus-List Prop question

The way to avoid the hub coming off when you get the BANG (and you will get one) is to back off the retaining nut on the end of the shaft but do not completely remove it. When the hub comes free of the taper on the shaft, it can only move part of an inch before the nut stops the motion. Rick

Re: Stus-List C&C 37+ Dodger

Hi David, You are correct, it does not provide complete protection for the helmsman. And it can't be used with the main up and sheeted anywhere close to centerline, or for tacking or jibing. It is pretty good in the rain in most cases, and if it really starts to pour Auto-Helm takes over for a bi

Re: Stus-List Aqua signal 25 direct LED replacement?

Dave, Two years ago I found led bulb that were sold as replacements for the aquasignal 25. They were about the same price as a complete Victory fixture. The lenses of the existing aqua signal were still clear so I went for the led bulbs. After one season only, at least one side on the "tree si

Try it using a wheel puller, if that doesn't work, tighten it up as much as you can, and hammer on the end of the (wheel puller) screw. Regards, Bill Original message From: "Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List" Date: 5/7/17 14:08 (GMT-05:00) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com C

Re: Stus-List Aqua signal 25 direct LED replacement?

Re: Stus-List Aqua signal 25 direct LED replacement?

It's a good question josh, and changing the bulb is my second choice. One reason is that a purpose built led fixture is typically more efficient. You can orient the sources in the correct direction. This is compromised in traditional light sources (or led lamps which mimic same) where opti

With regard to Ken’s pictures- My 34+ also came with a dodger that works well, but the zip on bimini I find pretty useless. It doesn’t have a tube frame and attaches to the backstay similar to Ken's and as a result of the angles it doesn’t go very far aft, and so does not cover the helmsman sit
