Stus-List Insurance

I've had good service with GEICO through BoatUS. Several years ago, I got hung up on a crab pot, and cracked my boom. For each year without a claim, my deductible was reduced by twenty-five percent. As a result, I got a new boom with zero deductible, and no depreciation. Last summer, I damaged my m

Re: Stus-List Furler extrusion attachment to mast etc.

Some plates are attached to the axles, and some are not. If yours isn't attached to the axle, you can drill a small hole in the mast, opposite the axle, and tap the axle out. (loosen the tension on the halyard first, so the sheave doesn't get pulled into the mast. Position the mast so the sheave is

Re: Stus-List Fuse replacement and wiring

The short red wire connects power from one fuse to the other instead of having two longer leads from the power source. Definitely replace the fuse holders. I recommend replacing the fuse holders with fuse holders from an automotive parts store, if you can mount them close to the power source.. They

Re: Stus-List Float switch fail tale (formerly stuffing box leak rates)

After two float switch failures, I switched to an electronic switch. No more failures. Besides having a circuit breaker on the AC side of your charger, you should have fuses in the DC side, Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 8:24 AM Charlie Nelson via

My boat came with port and starboard lockers. The propane tank, pressure gauge and regulator are in the port locker. The starboard locker is also hinged with a thru hull, but it isn't completely sealed. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Tue, Mar 3, 2020 at 8:43 AM Jim Wat

Re: Stus-List Looking for replacement part for spinnaker pole end coupling

Your fitting Is the old style dating back to the sixties (maybe earlier). It was replaced with an end fitting with a hole in the end, and a car with a one inch pin that fits in the hole and slides on a track. I've been using the new style for years - first on my Ericson 30 in 1979, and on my presen

When I replaced my holding tank, Kracor told me to go through Lewis Marine in Fort Lauderdale, FL (800) 327-3792. Kracor is in Milwaukee, WI, and I didn't want to pay the extra shipping charges (Wisconsin to Florida to Oregon), so I had them drop ship the tank to me. Total cost, in 2007, for the tw

Re: Stus-List Spreader Bracket

Since the damage was caused by the other boat owner's negligence, that owner's liability/property damage should cover any cost. Don't put it off, as it may require the replacement of your mast. File a claim with the owner's insurance company. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR

Re: Stus-List Fitting transmission with different gear ratio

Because of the higher gear ratio, you'll have to run the engine faster to get the same boat speed as you do with your present transmission - theoretically about twenty-two percent faster (2.61 divided by 2.14 times 100%). You'll be using significantly more fuel, and you also may not be able to reac
