Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

2020-05-31 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Getting the shaft out of the coupler is turning out to be quite a trick. I'm using a large socket in the center of the coupler to act as a spacer. Then I'm using the coupler bolts to act as clamps and draw tights against the socket. I have lots of penetrating oil in just about every location imagi

Interesting about the 5/16 on the 30-1. My 35-2 are definitely 1/4", oval head philips machine screws, and the 2" length sounds correct. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto ___ Thanks ever

Try disconnecting the wire to the oil pressure sensor. The sensor could be stuck. If that cures it, replace the sensor. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sun, May 31, 2020 at 2:32 PM Nate Flesness via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Our 1980 30-1 has the ori

We just bought a Minn Kota trolling motor for our Walker Bay 8 hard dinghy. As I didn't have time to source fancy batteries, I just got a Gr 24 deep cycle lead acid for now.

As one who has replaced many of these bolts, I checked today just to make sure. The ones I have are 5/16 x 2 inch. Just having used that same diameter on my exhaust manifold, I think you could substitute an 8mm bolt. My toe rail bolts are a mix of flat head and oval head Philips style. I replace

Hi Shawn, Thanks for the note. Yes it is a 74 35Mk2, you have good eyes. I had my float switch broken and had the water up to almost the top of the bilge...a winter season where I did not pay much attention to the water level through the winter, as I thought it was all “waterproof”. I guess that

On second look at your photo, it doesn't look like a 35, or if it is, your sole is different. The area you have indicated as steel is I believe the thick layers of glass that C&C used to reinforce the hull at each keel stud in the earlier boats. The later boats seem to use a more modern grid layout

Our 1980 30-1 has the original 2QM15 and instrument panel. Last night on the mooring, the warning buzzer above the usual three idiot lights started going off, intermittently - 15 or so seconds on, 15 or so seconds off, repeat. The big red switch was OFF, the ignition switch was OFF with the key on

Is this a 35? Looks very similar to my '74 35 mk2, and yes it is wood, but glassed to at least 1/2 way up, presumably on both sides, which should help to protect it to a degree. I expect that replacing the wood will be a rather big job due to limited access, and unless you cut into the liner, there

We have a torqeedo and a Mecury 6 hp 4 stroke, both from the prior owner of our boat, so I've compared them side-by-side.  The 6 hp can get our 10 ft. PortaBote up on plane 13 kts., and with a separate tank has a really, really long run time.  Downside?  Small gasoline engines require fresh fuel

Despite the extra cost, I am starting to like the idea of an electric. I also found this motor: EP Carry (https://www.electricpaddle.com/index.html). It is made in the US, slightly cheaper and lighter than the Torqeedo but otherwise seem functionally equivalent. A bit less high tech and less

Consider replacing with an electric. I got a Torqueedo 1103S for my dinghy (9ft Zodiac rib). The motor with battery is around 38 lbs but disassembles and the battery can be installed after you put the motor on the boat. Quiet, no fuel, no mess, No smell, runs every time as long as you charge it.
