Hello all,
I thought I would let you know what I found when I tracked down our
creaking/crunching sound when we turned the wheel on our 1994 C&C 37/40+.
According to the survey, the drive wheel at the rudder post had been recently
replaced. When I went and looked at the idlers and the drive wh

A few weeks ago, I spilled approx. a half a cup or 200 mls of diesel in
the engine compartment that made its way under the cabin floor boards to
the bilge. I have flushed several times with Dawn liquid detergent and
hot water, however, there is still a trace of the diesel which I would

Rob,
the absorbent pads can collect the fuel (and they don’t absorb water). I had
very good results with these:

They come in at least two sizes; the large (and thick) one and smaller (and
more useful)
Have used citrus degreaser (ZEP orange) in a spray bottle for surface
degreasing with good results. Available at Home Depot.

The movement of this storm is not very predictable. It will be several more
days until a path can be determined.

We’re fortunate to be close to Edson. My wife needed help stitching on a

then demonstrated how to do it.
Hi all,
I know from this list that i could replace my exaust elbow (yanmar 2 GM 20F)

with an original yanmar part ? and if the collective wisdon is to replace with

I just started sailing Breakaweigh and I've been slightly tensioning the
twin adjustable backstays with each tack thinking there is a reason for
doing this but it was brought to my attention by a fellow sailor that these
extra backstays are not necessarily needed unless I'm running a stay sail
or a
My understanding is that the babystay and adjustable backstays (which attach
about 2/3 of the way up) are intended to keep the mast from pumping in heavy
seas. With a bendy mast you could also use them to adjust sail shape, but my
mast is about as bendy as a telephone pole.

Those are running back stays. Matt is correct. In heavy weather you might
use the, but for cruising get them out of the way.

Dan, in the 10 years I've sailed my 44 I have rarely found I need to use
the running back stays. In those few time I needed them the wind was
blowing hard and I had a lot of the back stay on to bend the mast to shape
the main and straighten the forestay. At the same time we were sailing
into go
That’s quite a word of caution.
The other thing you don’t want to do is tack with the babystay on. It won’t
bring the mast down, but it sure does cause problems.

Recently filled up the V birth water tank and discovered a slow leak. PO left
it empty and now I know why. This eventually drained everything into my bilge,

If you look back in the archives, there was discussions on water tanks repair
within the last 4 weeks.
If you have a leak at the fitting, possibly, you may just need to replace it.
I had some surprisingly good results with a Bondic welding kit.
And yes, most sinks drain directly overboard
I did repair the tanks on our '90 30-2 by drilling out the crack, flame
treatment and GFlex. I repaired it last year and kept the tank full this
year with no issues.

I was wondering if there could be a negative impact to use a Ss elbow that may
not have the same internal dimension and thus affecting the flow and
performance of the engine. But I may be overthinking this...
Other thoughts out there or experiences to share on this matter ?
Thanks

In response to the prior post about fixing a leaking water tank, see my post
below.
One final update. An additional source I found around for LDPE was water
softener bags. I think it might be a little thin to effectively weld with, but
if you run short, it's nice to know that the bag you threw
I am considering some auxiliary heat, either a Dickinson propane fireplace or a
diesel forced air unit like an Espar. I guess I am looking for the best fit for
our 37+ but leaning towards a propane fireplace. Both have advantages. What do
you guys think?

The tanks on my '77 C&C 30 are fiberglass and built with the hull as part of
the tank. The top of the
forward tank is also the base of the V-berth. There are removable round access
ports and a screwed
down access panel on both tanks.

Hi Michael,
I was going to disagree with you, but I thought back to my 1977 C&C 27 MKIII,
and remember the inside of the tank was smooth and white, rather than yellowish
PTFE like my 1994 C&C 37/40+.
So, for your application, I was dead wrong.
I would suspect.a bad fitting rather than a cracked t

How about the diesel stove/oven combo with heater lid? This would be a
direct replacement for the Force 10 3 burner/oven you probably have. It
would fit in the same footprint.
