Re: Stus-List Rot around chain plate

I'll second Josh's concern with a point of actual experience.  Corsair's initial survey (1996) indicated that the Starboard upper shroud chain plate showed indications of water damage and the holes were elongated.  The survey recommendation was to glass in the bulkhead, on both sides, and add

Re: Stus-List Deck painting

I just did the deck on Imzadi, my 38. I selected the paint and process after seeing the results of a deck repaint on a friend's Tartan 37. The process was essentially painless and took less than a week start to finish. Though I'm sure it was not as elaborate as the process you are considering.

Re: Stus-List Deck painting

Hi, I painted the deck on my 29-2 last year. Absolutely massive job. One I likely wouldn’t take on again. Like any painting project, the preparation aka sanding is the most important thing. I come from a cabinetmaking background and have spent plenty of time sanding. I still found this to be a

Re: Stus-List Deck painting

I've used Brightside, Easypoxy and Rustoleum Marine paint over the years on my old boats. Somewhat surprisingly, at least in the Florida sun, the winner by far is Rustoleum. It holds up well, does not stain easily and, when you have a problem, it's simple to touch up. I have one hatch painted

Re: Stus-List Deck painting

I need to paint my deck too and I'm not so crazy about Perfection as it is a two part paint and the flattening agent is another two part additive making it a tedious process. You have to mix four chemicals to get one paint to apply. I've seen decks painted with single part Briteside and it's

Re: Stus-List Rot around chain plate

The hardest part is going to be gaining access to the area. Other than that it should be a pretty standard job of cutting out the bad and replacing with new then glassing it in with the appropriate tabbing. If the picture I've created in my mind is correct then the chain plate is connected to

Re: Stus-List water tank level sensor

I have the same sensors on my 37+ and was able to make new sensors just by replacing the wires. Josh is correct, they aren't the highest quality sensors in the world, but they do work and are very inexpensive to repair. On my boat I found two problems: 1. The wiring to the connector that

Stus-List Rot around chain plate

After uncovering my C 33 for the season, I found some rust in the cabin under the forward chainplate which holds the lower shroud. Upon further investigation, I found rot (finger piercing) in the bulkhead area inside the head compartment over the toilet, between the chainplate and the hull. Am

Re: Stus-List Deck painting

Mike, I redid the decks on my boat last year. Although I used Awlgrip/Awlcraft products I give you some idea of what I found encountered. I was originally going to use Cloud White for the decks but the Awlgrip guys said that Matterhorn White was their best selling product. It has a bit of grey

Stus-List Deck painting

Hi there- I am planning to paint the deck and have few questions for those that have gone before me. I plan to use Perfection with Kiwigrip. I did a sample locker lid with Snow White Perfection and White KiwiGrip. The Perfection is a bit too white/reflective. I’d rather use a different shade

Re: Stus-List Wax

Bruce, Yes, people on this list have very different opinions about PoliGlow - my experience has been favorable. I’ve been using it every spring since buying Cat's Paw (bright red hull) in 2009 with good results. If there is a haze anywhere, Poliglow does not get rid of that, as the directions

Re: Stus-List Diesel Tank Cleaning

I had some luck with diesel fuel tank cleaner made by starbrite.  I would also run a small 12v pump on the far side of the racor, recirculating the fuel back to the tank.  I found a pretty cheap one online.  Of course, the larger/faster the pump, the more stuff it *may* suck up off the bottom.  

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Diesel Tank Cleaning

I have a vacuum gauge on my fuel filter. You can plump these to be visible from the helm. It will give you advanced warning that the filter is clogging up and also confirm that is actually the problem. For better troubleshooting, you can use 2 - one before and one after the filter. That way you

Stus-List Diesel Tank Cleaning

All, Last year my engine shut down 2 times and have concluded I need to clean out the diesel tank. I had very old fuel [3+ years] in the tank after several years of very low usage and topping up the tank prior to winter storage which was the cause of the 1st shut down. Most of that fuel was

My experience with Polyglow was poor. Initially it looked good. Unfortunately, it soon showed lots of dark pollution streaks on a light colored surface. It was difficult to remove. Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C 44 Portland, Or On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 7:09 AM Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Wax

Hello all, I have historically had very good experience with PoliGlow in the Chicago area - 16 years, as a matter of fact.  That said, for some reason here in Florida, people swear at the stuff (rather than swearing by it).  They say it yellows and is nearly impossible to remove. I don't know

Re: Stus-List water tank level sensor

Those level sensors are absolute crap. Immersion in the water inevitably means corrosion of the wires and bands. Even if you get them working it won't be a lasting repair. I moved to a capacitance sensor system that doesn't penetrate the tanks. It's the iSeries made by TechEdge.

Stus-List water tank level sensor

I discovered last fall that my boat actually has sensors in the three water tanks. There are small lights on the panel and double/triple throw switches that appear to allow you to turn it on and switch from tank sensor to tank sensor. I think the lights correspond to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full , but

Re: Stus-List universal m4-30 air filter

Maybe. I didn't perceive that from your original description. If it doesn't terminate in the presence of the suction from the air intake then even the oil drop out canister won't be able to fix the problem. Josh On Mon, Apr 23, 2018, 9:26 AM David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com>

Re: Stus-List universal m4-30 air filter

Hi Josh- I don’t have a port on the side of the air intake. The orginal hose was just dangling nearby. I notice that there is a small wire loop near the air intake opening that is about the right size for the tubing. Perhaps it was originally held in place by that? Dave > On Apr 23, 2018,

Re: Stus-List Sherwood water pump

Like others, I believe the vanes will orient themselves once the pump is used. I've never bothered to orient them. I understand completely about changing the impeller in the Sherwood pump. After changing the impeller on my Sherwood pump, I noticed it was leaking slightly at the shaft. After

Re: Stus-List universal m4-30 air filter

Dave, The can only has 2 lines that enter at the top. As you observed one comes from the valve cover. The other goes to the original port on the side of the air intake. The 2 hoses that appear to be coming from the bottom are engine raw water running to a loop seal which is mounted on the wall

There is one way to compare different techniques and products and I would be willing to sacrifice my deck to a side by side comparison. Everyone side by side this Saturday. I will judge and not interfere with technique. S/V La Neige 1993 C 37/40 XL Havre de Grace , MD FB blog : thenext14years

Hi Josh- Thanks for the info. This looks like a fairly straightforward mod which should clean up the oil. I see the line running from the valve cover to your new canister. There are two other lines attached to the canister. The one on the bottom I am presuming is a drain. Where does the
