Re: Stus-List C 24 Portholes

I have a total of 6 of the old style aluminum frame windows on my two boat, so I made sure I saved the “recipe” for resealing the portlights for future reference. Rule 1: never touch the aluminum frame, you will create a leak Between the frame and the window you will need a seal. In 2016

Likewise Bill, no offense intended. None taken. I had to develop practices and habits myself to prevent burning up my engine. I thought that someone else would appreciate some of my solutions. Josh On Feb 17, 2018 10:43 PM, "coltrek via CnC-List" wrote: > Josh, I did

Re: Stus-List PSS shaft seal

Josh, I did not mean to slam you in any way. My point is simply this: I just think it's better to prevent, than to treat a problem. There isn't a hose on my boat below the water line that I can't look at with confidence and walk away. If I felt I had to close the through hull for any

Re: Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

You’re right Josh. The purpose of the vent is to eliminate the need to “burp” the air out of the shaft log when you splash the boat. And since the shaft log is not under pressure, other than the fact that it is a foot or two below the waterline, if the end of the tube is above the heeled water

For anybody concerned about burning up the engine. We hang the key on the through hull. We also got a SpeedSeal Life and a Globe Run Dry impeller. http://www.speedseal.com/SpeedsealLife/SpeedsealLife.html https://www.gcsmarine.com/content/impellers/impellers As for the warm beer... I can only

Re: Stus-List PSS shaft seal

I am so flakey, I know that if I closed all my through hulls I would invariably forget to open them, and either burn up my engine, have warm beer, or some other malady , so I just put new hoses on and check the clamps. Which isn’t a bad idea anyway. Bill Coleman C 39 Erie, PA From:

Rick, The windows on Cat’s Paw (CC35 MkII) also need to be reset. Do you know of a supplier in the US? Doesn’t have to be close to Boston, but someplace easy to order from for US sailors. Thanks, Eric Cat's Paw C 35 Mk II Mattapoisett, MA ___

Re: Stus-List PSS shaft seal

A nice sailboat sank at the dock here a couple of years ago due to failure of a galley sink drain connection. I've gotten religion regarding closing of thru-hulls. Cheers, Dave On Sat, Feb 17, 2018 at 2:54 PM, Brien Sadler via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I’m a firm believer in

Re: Stus-List PSS shaft seal

I’m a firm believer in shutting the through hulls every time I leave the boat. Probably the submariner in me that doesn’t like to expose piping to sea pressure when I can let a valve take the brunt of it. Always a “straight board”. Sent from my iPad

Re: Stus-List Battery power

One way to make your batteries last longer and still guarantee starting in the morning is to go to a dedicated start battery and combine the existing pair into one house bank. Your depth of discharge will be much less for a given draw, so the house batteries last much longer, and if you wire it

As for old hoses that's why it is so important to close your through hulls when away from the boat. Josh On Feb 17, 2018 4:32 PM, "Len Mitchell via CnC-List" wrote: > I installed a drip less shaft seal about 7 or 8 years ago when I replaced > my cutlass bearing. Like

Hear! Hear! High on my list! In the 1st 4 months I had Touche' I replaced all the thru hull hoses, the alcohol stove hose, and all the engine hoses. The two I didn't think about were the fuel fill hose and shaft log hose. I was painfully reminded of the former after filling the tank one day

I installed a drip less shaft seal about 7 or 8 years ago when I replaced my cutlass bearing. Like Josh said I opted to not install the vent hose, it came with a nylon plug. It has worked flawlessly. I burp the air out on launch and if I get air bubbles in the hose for any reason I can clearly

Re: Stus-List C 24 Portholes

Doug, it sounds like you have the older framed windows. You need something between the frame and the lenses, thin foam or butyl tape. The lenses go in next then a rubber spline gets installed in the gap between the lens and the frame to lock everything in. Holland Marine

Re: Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

I put a PYI Packless Shaft Seal on Corsair in 2001.  It was a ventless model and it was important to burp it in the spring during launch.  It was still pristine when Corsair was scrapped last year.  There is nothing wrong with the traditional stuffing box but those who are concerned of the

It sounds like both options are good options. I guess now the question is how much I want to spend to stop the water from coming in the bilge. Last season I knew of two leaks I had letting water in the bilge the access plate on the water pump was leaking when I ran the engine and the stuffing

Before the snow started today, we got the old portholes out with the leaky lenses. I have new lenses from another C 24 owner he never used before he crushed the boat. So, I have to get all the goup and junk off the frames, get them clean. Then figure out how to install properly. We put a tarp

Re: Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

I forgot but someone else has mentioned in the past that the vent isn't even really necessary. Just burp the seal after each relaunch. You can eliminate the vent by plugging the hole with a small brass pipe plug. Josh On Feb 16, 2018 9:06 PM, "Brien Sadler via CnC-List"

I installed one on Pegasus, I ran the vent above the waterline, and put a small loop in. The purpose of the line is to vent air from the seal to prevent the carbon seal ring from burning up. On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 6:17 PM, David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I had a

The PO changed from the original stuffing box to a PSS seal on Cat’s Paw sometime between 1980 (when my father sold the boat to him) and 2004 (when I bought her back). That PSS did not have the vent tube option. There was some wear on the carbon(?) face (that seals to the SS part) although no
