Re: Stus-List 30 MKI weather helm

Speaking from a practical. rather than theoretical standpoint, my experience with my previous boat, a 1981 30mkI suggests to me that having the top of the mast about 8-9” AFT of the gooseneck resulted in a well-balanced boat. I guess your mileage may vary... Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Ocean

Re: Stus-List Autohelm Auto pilot

Fred — if you’re in a position to get a new autopilot course computer, I’d recommend it. The new ones from Raymarine are nice; I can price you one at my cost, if you’d like. You’ll also need to get a new control head, as the older ones don’t have the functionality to program the new course com

Re: Stus-List Autohelm Auto pilot

Fred — can you get me the model number of the linear drive in your boat (I’m assuming it’s linear…)? Specs on the website show the displacement of the C&C44 at 20,000 lbs; the drive you’ve got will determine whether you’ll need the Raymarine ACU-200 or ACU-400 course computer. The Type 1 drive

Re: Stus-List Hull numbers - 29

Hi, Jason — welcome to the greatest place for info on C&C’s, and congrats on your new boat! From your HIN, you have hull #607, from January of 1978. I’m not sure what “Mark” of 29 that makes her; someone with a 29 can chime in on that. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall

Re: Stus-List Autohelm Auto pilot

I would guess that you probably have a Type 2 (up to 33,000 lbs displacement), due to the fact that your course computer is a 300; if it was a Type 1, you’d probably have the smaller 100 course computer. I just checked the manual for the 100/300 systems — I love that Raymarine has the older man

Re: Stus-List Canadians - retail sales tax used boat

Steve — it’s probably not much consolation, but isn’t the sales tax charged on the sales transaction, not on the item being sold? I know that when you buy a used car here in Minnesota, every time the car changes hands there’s sales tax involved. The state gets its due… Fred Street -- Minne

Re: Stus-List Taxes on boats

I was lucky enough on both of my C&C purchases to be able to use a loophole (which I believe has since been closed…) that allowed sales-tax exempt purchase of a boat by a Minnesota purchaser where the transaction occurred in Minnesota, but the boat was being moved to Wisconsin. Due to geography

Re: Stus-List Battery charger recommendations?

Also remember that putting a huge alternator on a diesel like ours can present excessive side-loading to the shaft bearings, reducing their life. So try to size appropriately for your battery bank AND engine hp. Going too big can be bad for your engine. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis

I asked them about that when we had them to dinner several years back. Really. They were in Minneapolis for a seminar I helped organize. Great people. They still use oil-based nav and anchor lights. Larry’s pretty adamant about being a “purist” on his hand-built wooden boats. They also stil

Airmar makes them for Raymarine, too — a couple of different deadrise angles. In the end, if we’re heeling it’ll be a somewhat goofy depth measurement anyway, as we’re doing it at an angle to the bottom. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, W
