Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Lithium Batteries

When I brought the LiFePo batteries to the boat last spring I climbed a ladder with 2 group 31 batteries in one hand. Didn’t realize it till I was halfway up the ladder. Made me smile. For me this was a no-brainer. I could not have gotten the usable capacity I wanted in the footprint

Thanks Rick! Very helpful information…. I’ll certainly look into that self-tailing conversion kit paired to the 28’s…. Good idea. Dean > On Jul 29, 2022, at 4:10 PM, Rick Brass via CnC-List > wrote: > > Dean, > > There is a Barient Winch catalog available on the L-26 website at Barient

Barient 28+, 2 speed self tailing work very well on my 35MKII On Fri, Jul 29, 2022 at 4:31 PM Stu via CnC-List wrote: > There is a lot of info on winches on the Photo Album site. Scroll down > left side and click on "Winches". > > Stu > > -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Joe. My flooded group 27 lead acid batteries spend their life on my boat, usually about 10-15 years. They seem happy enough on my 35 and they meet my power needs. They are heavy like you said. On Fri, Jul 29, 2022 at 3:56 PM Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > That is

Rick -- lots of very good information! My 2 cent addition to the conversation. My 81 C hasself tailing Lewmar 42s for primary. They work fine, but as I get older, it gets more difficult to drive and winch when I go out alone. I lift weights over the winter so I can still do it -- great

Dean, There is a Barient Winch catalog available on the L-26 website at Barient Catalog (l-36.com). You might want to save a copy for future reference. Most of the winch equivalency charts I’ve bookmarked over the past 30 years are no longer active on

That is half the reason I am interested, hauling heavy hunks of lead around is tough on the back past a certain age, never mind the effect on the boat. Joe Coquina From: Joel Aronson via CnC-List Sent: Friday, July 29, 2022 11:54 AM To: Stus-List Cc: Joel Aronson Subject: Stus-List Re:

Unless you really want new winches, there are lots of used options. Don't be reluctant to fill the holes and make new ones. Be patient. Set up a saved search on eBay. Search Craigslist nationwide using a search engine like: https://searchcraigslist.org/ Here's a quick result. There are

Stus-List Re: C 34 Winch replacement

I replaced the winches on my 34 with Andersen 2 Speed 50ST Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winches two years ago. It did require filling the holes and redrilling. As this was part of a deck repaint with all hardware off, I ground out fiberglass in a taper around each hole, filled the hole in the

Replaced our Barient 28 primaries with Lewmar 46 self tailing. Power factor increased but drum diameter decreased. I can't tell the difference in terms of cranking effort but then again we also don't use a genoa bigger than 130 (no racing, only cruising). The main reason for the switch was to have

Stus-List Re: C 34 Winch replacement

I found the 25 was insufficient as primary winch so replaced with Barient 28 which I picked up second hand. Moved the 25's to secondary placement and the 22's one to main sheet. Yes involved new holes but a tremendous improvement especially for the 155 genoa and spinnaker. None are self
