Stus-List Split in keel.

I recently discovered this split in the trailing edge of my keel (photo provided via google drive link below). It looks as though the split has exposed the lead of the keel. The rest of the keel looks fine. No evidence of any water intrusion of any kind in the keel to stub joint. No C&C smile at a

My exterior teak is starting to show signs of wear and it's time to refinish it. It looks as though it has been varnished in the past but was wondering if anyone has just used teak oil on their exterior wood. Looking for recommendations. Brien Sadler S/V TAZ C&C 35-3 __

Stus-List Mast boot and keel bolts

I'm sure both of these topics have been covered before, but A) any suggestions on keeping the little bit of water that drips down the mast from coming in at all? I'd like to seal it up completely (old submariner habit of trying to keep all the water out of the people tank.) B) When I had the boat

To clarify so the C&C owner's group doesn't try to Keelhaul, flog, or have my surveyor walk the plank. He didn't suggest the epoxy. It was the only information I had found in my limited search for a solution to "seal the keel bolts" in accordance with his recommendation. I asked the question here b

The only reason I worry about the mast leak is water in the bilge in the winter. It’s probably from being a submariner for close to 20 years, that in my mind water in the bilge is a big “No No”. I don’t want it turning to ice and causing problems. I have a bottle that catches most of the water t

Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

Has anyone changed to a PSS dripless stuffing box? I’m sold on the switch I just haven’t figured out how I’m going to run the vent line yet. Any suggestions would be great. Preliminary plan is to run it to a very small through hull at the top of the transom. Thanks, Brien Sent from my iPad

This is why I love this group, lots of great experience to draw on. I’m reconsidering switching based on the advice. I never heard about or thought about the catastrophic potential with the PSS. It’s also significantly less expensive to keep what I have and re-pack. Thanks again. Brien Sent

It sounds like both options are good options. I guess now the question is how much I want to spend to stop the water from coming in the bilge. Last season I knew of two leaks I had letting water in the bilge the access plate on the water pump was leaking when I ran the engine and the stuffing bo
