Stus-List 81' C 30 - removed a winch, filling deck holes for winter

2017-10-27 Thread Chris Hobson via CnC-List
In an effort to reduce constant dripping from a neglected winch fastened to my deck support along-side the mast (common on the 80’ MK2) I removed it, cleaned with Acetone and filled the holes with Life Caulk. That way my settee below doesn’t get soaked each rainfall during our Vancouver winter.

I’ve installed both Ray electric ram and a hydraulic. The hydraulic is slightly more resistance as Gary describes, but the advantage of significant less amp draw far outweighs this. From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Gary Russell via CnC-List Sent:

No matter which brand autopilot you use (mine is B Zeus2, I would recommend you use the Raymarine electric ram. The hydraulic units have far too much drag and ruin the feel of the rudder. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 5:27 PM,

Yes, but the report in the UK Mail says that they had a mast problem, and could sail at 4-5 knots. I don’t see why that is a problem. The real question is now they got “lost”. Did they have no navigational capability? No solar or wind power? Also, they lost their cell phone overboard the

I was told that you could not put an underdeck on my 34+ and so went with a wheel pilot. I have since learned that it is possible, and not really that hard. I wish I had known it sooner, as I really liked the hydraulic unit my older boat had. I would contact Colin Mack at Mack Sails. He did

FWIW, I signed on to having all the rod replaced on our 37’. I received a quote, and I’m guestimating the labor costs because we are doing everything rigging/lifeline related, that came in at around $9,000.00 to $9,500.00. Hope that’s a good reference. Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C 37 - Ronin

Hi Jim I had Blackline do mine in 2010. I replaced the rod with wire. They also installed radar on the mast, replaced corroded spreader tips, etc. Cost was close to $6,800 minus taxes. Cheap compared to the cost of the new motor I'm in the process of putting in. By the way, we followed

Doug, I “copied” Gary’s design and am happy with the results. My rudder shaft did not have a keyway (Gary’s had one) so I ended up having to drill a 3/8” hole through a 3” stainless steel tube with ½” thick walls. Edson makes an appropriate tiller arm with a 3/8” hole pre-drilled. I used
