Stus-List Problem with Bilge Pump

2023-01-07 Thread Al Serrato via CnC-List
I've been using a Jabsco diaphragm bilge pump located in the starboard cockpit locker/engine compartment for many years without any problems. The hose from the pump has a vented loop and exits at the stern. Recently, I noticed that while the pump was functioning apparently normally, no water was

Hello all, I'm thinking about adding a teak (or trex) cockpit grating to my 1981 C&C 34.  Does anyone know where I could find a kit for assembly that would fit the contours of the cockpit? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Al SerratoSenza FineSan Francisco BayThanks to all of

Stus-List Overheating Yanmar 3GMD

I had an unusual experience yesterday and am looking for any ideas on next steps. I have a Yanmar 3GMD in my ‘81 C&C 34. I had used the motor for about 20 minutes going out with no problems, but after starting it in heavy winds, it rather quickly quit on me and would not start. I was heeling wh

Stus-List Strap Hinge for Lazarette

2020-06-01 Thread Al Serrato via CnC-List
I'm looking for a replacement strap hinge for the lazarette in the cockpit of my 1981 C & C 34. I've looked online quite a bit but can't seem to find a match, even at South Shore Yachts. The hinges are 3 inches on each side with 3 screw holes on each side. Does anyone have a suggestion as to wher

Stus-List Engine Temp Gauge Not Working

2018-04-27 Thread Al Serrato via CnC-List
I bought a 1981 34' with a 3GMD engine a few years ago. The temp warning buzzer works but the gauge has never worked, although it is in place and wired. The Yanmar manual has a section on testing the buzzer sender unit, but I don't see anything about the location of the sender unit for the gauge

Stus-List Mast Gooseneck Fitting

2017-09-13 Thread Al Serrato via CnC-List
The metal gooseneck fitting on the mast of my '34 failed. It attaches to the mast via 4 screws on each side. One of the two metal loops that accepts the boom end broke off. I have only gotten one estimate so far based on the photo I sent to my usual boatyard, of $1100, to remove, fabricate and r

Stus-List A leak in the water system

I noticed recently that my water system has a leak in it somewhere. I don't use internal water too often, so I'm not sure when or how it started. When I went to fill the tank yesterday, I noticed that the water level dropped quickly in the tube and I started getting water in the bilge. I was sho

I'm in the San Francisco Bay area and I'm having all the cushions re-covered in Sunbrella material at a local shop for $2,600. I got a list of upholsterers from a shop that sells foam and after calling around found a place that was about $2000 less than all the other estimates. The only drawback

Stus-List Engine Overheat Question

I'm looking for advice on a situation that arose yesterday. I have a 34 with a 3GMD diesel with raw water cooling. I motored for about 45 minutes at 2000 rpm and then shut the engine down. Everything was running smoothly. The temp gauge showed the normal 100 degrees and I could hear water from t

I have a 1981 C & C '34 with original cushions. I recently got an estimate from a local marine canvas shop for replacement of all the fabric (retaining the original foam) using the lowest cost sunbrella material. I was surprised to see it was over $4000 for the job, and over $6000 to replace the

I have a 1981 '34 with a Yanmar 3GMD engine with seawater cooling. A mechanic recommended that I install a t-valve for the raw water intake so I can flush the engine with fresh water occasionally. The engine appears to be in good condition and runs well in the two years I have owned the boat bu
