You can flush with sea water all day long, but use the fresh water as the last flush of the day, before leaving the boat. This should prevent any smell from the bowl itself. Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jeff Helsdingen via CnC-List

I am planning on doing the same, though I am planning on going with the Raymarine drive. As I understand it the AC 100 is not compatible with the drive and I’ll have to go with the AC 100. Raymarine offered a modest discount with the trade in. As I remebmber it was $400 plus the old AC100. N

Re: Stus-List 36-1 centerboard pendant

This is really good discussion and the drawings are a terrific resource for the 36XL and 37/40+ owners. The design of the centerboard on the C&C 36-1 KCB of the 1980's vintage is different. The "board" is really more of a blade, not nearly as elegant, but it is also quite heavy and takes a similar

Hi There, I’m wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a suitable Tiller Pilot/Auto Helm for a 73’ 30’ with a tiller helm. Or a workaround for installing a Raymarine 2000 tiller pilot? The problem is the tiller comes from the cockpit floor and therefore the angle required for the Raymarine won

Re: Stus-List Smelly head

The Jabsco head has a small spring in the wet/dry lever mechanism. If it’s weak, you may experience resistance when pumping. Like another lister said, replace the ENTIRE pump assembly. It’s $92 on Amazon. You’ll be happy. It’s a 20 minute job. Dennis C. Touché 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA __

Hey Bruce, In C&C's effort (probably Rob Ball) to minimize the drag/turbulence etc. of this era's boards, they were made 'elliptical' such that no matter how far the board was lowered, it fully 'filled' the trunk opening which reduces drag, etc. from what would otherwise be an large opening wher

Hi, I would start simple. What you describe (i.e. the back pressure and recurring stink) sound like one but possible two problems. I would first check the holding tank vent line. A blocked vent line will lead to back pressure in the holding tank and little to no oxygen diffusing into the hol

Re: Stus-List Smelly head

Hi Blair, I have a number of thoughts: 1).  The backflow into the head is likely caused not so much by the joker valve as the flapper valve at the bottom of the pump itself where it is screwed to the pipe leading to the bowl.  You can take it apart and clean it manually (4 screws) but realisti

Re: Stus-List Smelly head

I'd suggest Peggy Hall's book on head odors. Still in print, I think. I agree with previous comment that stagnant seawater used for flushing can create an incredible foul odor. Flush some fresh water through the head into the tank. There is a simple test for condition of hoses. Covered in Peggy

Re: Stus-List Smelly head

Our 35-2 is similar, even with new hoses and a clean tank. Much of the smell is from organisms in salt water decomposing, as it occurs even when the holding tank is empty. I've been told that adding over sized venting for the holding tank will help, to reduce the anaerobic bacteria which is causing

Re: Stus-List Potable water conservation

Even the good read expensive hose smells bad after a while. If yours is still original it's probably due to be replaced. Possibly the tank as well.
