Re: Stus-List Fuel conditioners

I have little faith in fuel polishing. Seen boat owners get their fuel polished them have issues the next time they're in rough seas. Better to pull the tank and clean it or cut an access port and clean it. I had a fuel dock put a bit of gasoline in my diesel tank once (0.5 gallons in 18 gallon

Re: Stus-List 33-2 on mast clam cleats - are they still available?

Yep. Open V-cleat or as some call them, clamcleats. To be technical, I think a jam cleat is a horn cleat with a V-cleat under one of the horns. V-cleats and clamcleats come in a variety of types. Not to be confused with cam cleats. I thought I was the only one with V-cleats (clamcleats) for sh

Re: Stus-List Fuel conditioners

Get rid of that old and dirty fuel and clean the tanks out. Forget polishing. If you don't this issue will rear it's ugly head at the most inopportune and perhaps dangerous time of trying motor out of a precarious situation with a seaway now dislodging and putting crap into your fuel lines a

Re: Stus-List Fuel conditioners

You didn't describe what type of fuel - gas or diesel. Gas - you can separate, drain, and use additives like alcohol (sold as HEET). Diesel is a little harder since it will grow biological contaminants. If you want to try to save some money and do it yourself then draining the water/fuel off the

Re: Stus-List Fuel conditioners

The most common source of water in fuel is the leak through the fuel cap. The O-rings there have a tendency to crumble without telling anyone. I am guessing, but it is more than likely diesel fuel (??). With normal gas you might get away using some pure alcohol (even fuel line antifreeze) - it i

Re: Stus-List Fuel conditioners

Doug, you have to pump the water out. You can do that with your racor and drain frequently or the proper way and get rid of it before. No amount of fuel conditioner will convert water to diesel so don't even try to run it through your engine...unless you want to replace your fuel pump! Andy C&C

I use Marvel Mystery Oil in the gasoline for my Atomic 4 engine as advised by Don Moyer of Moyer Marine. These guys are the authority for all things Atomic 4. I also use it in my two air cooled VWs. I think it helps keep the interior parts properly lubricated. You should be able to find this pro

I installed a Schaeffer rope clutch, just below where the spinnaker halyard exits from the mast. One person can raise the spinnaker without waiting for another crew member to tail. After the spinnaker is fully raised, the same crew member can tidy up the halyard, cleat the halyard and release th

Hi all, My new (to me) boat has water in all 3 fuel tanks. And one tank hasn't been used in 14 years, but is full, or mostly so. An old salt told me that in the old days they swore by Marvel Mystery oil. Has anyone heard of this? . I have used Soltron in the past with good results. Trying to fig

Thanks Dennis. I found clamcleat, (which was what I thought they were called) who I think is the patent holder, and is identified as the manufacturer for Selden's equivalent. I could not find the same form factor in clamcleat's offering but maybe I missed it. The question you ask is a go

Re: Stus-List 33-2 on mast clam cleats - are they still available?

Open V-cleats? Ok, I just call them jam cleats. In any case, I would hesitate to use them for a halyard application unless it was for a temporary application as Dennis C. suggests. Having said that I use them for my headsail sheets and like them very much. We have no conventional cleats in SLY's

Not recommending dexcool. I too have seen and heard bad things about dexcool. As I understand it, it is an organic coolant and after ao many years and miles it turns to goop. If you can't figure out what it is then your best bet is to change it out and start from ground zero. I do like the propy

Those, or a similar version should be available from Ronstan, Camcleat, Selden and others. They are called open V-cleats. http://www.mauripro.com/us/product/SEL432010R.html However, I need to ask exactly what you intend to do with it. If you are going to permanently cleat the halyard I'd consid

Hi guys, I needed to add antifreeze after hooking the water heater back up. So I decided to drain it all and replace. The antifreeze is red in color and I want to make sure I replace with a compatible antifreeze because I'd rather not have to do a complete flush as it will postpone my launch..
