Re: Stus-List Help with folding prop insights?

I have to provide the dissenting opinion on the Martec prop. Many years ago, I had to make a quick stop when two kids in a dinghy came out of a mooring field in front of me. In order not to hit them I slammed the boat in reverse. Being not geared, one of the blades did not open. The resulting

Rodney is correct, of course. But also consider that some C&C models come with different gear ratios for the same boat. Get the ratio off the gearbox name plate before ordering a prop. My PO didn't do that and I got a boat with the wrong prop. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, U

Re: Stus-List Serpentine conversion

I used the ElectroMAAX kit on my Yanmar 3HM35F. The pulleys are well made, but the brackets took a little fiddling with. It appears there are more than 1 3HM35Fs. I'm happy with the final solution. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at

Re: Stus-List Prop shaft support on 35-2

My 35 Mk II had about 3" between the strut and the prop. 12" is very long and could possible contribute to vibration. I can't imagine why someone would do that. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Fri, Apr 12, 2019 at 12:04 AM Shawn Wright via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Prop shaft support on 35-2

Good point Neil. I had to put a 3 blade prop on my 35 Mk II. A two blade prop would get the blade tips too close to the hull (which would also cause vibration). Shawn's boat appears to have a 2 blade prop and an extended shaft to get the blades away from the hull. Not a good approach in my opin

Re: Stus-List 35 Mk2 sea trial tomorrow - newbie advice needed

Hi Shawn, The 35 Mk II is a fantastic boat (I owned one), but purchasing without a survey is quite risky. You seem to understand that, so I won't belabor the point. Dennis is right (usually is), the tabbing of the forward bulkhead can be an issue, but is not particularly difficult or ex

Re: Stus-List Shore Power at a Slip

Hi Edd, I always kept the refrigeration and charger up and running all the time. The biggest risk is if the shore power ground is not a the same potential as the water, then you can eat zincs like crazy. You should have a galvanic isolator on you boat to protect the zincs. Gary S/V Kaylarah

Re: Stus-List Voltage / Amp Hours

Hi Edd, The battery voltage is only an indication of the state of charge of a lead-acid battery when the battery has been without load (or charge) for several hours. Otherwise, the voltage is pretty much meaningless. Many devices measure the state of charge by noting the difference between th

Re: Stus-List Boat Speed Paddlewheel ?'s

My experience with the Nexus paddlewheel is that the transducer bushing develops a bit of shmutz around the bottom perimeter which interferes with the paddlewheel when pushed in. It spins free when removed but binds when installed. You may need to clean the bottom of the bushing. Gary S/V Kaylar

Re: Stus-List Chirping rudder post, 37+ 40

Hi Tom, There are 3 small ball bearings that support the weight of the rudder that are located under the radial wheel Perhaps they are the source of the chirp. I replaced my large rudder bearings last year because of excess rudder play (no chirp). Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwic

Re: Stus-List Cabin window replacement, again

I agree with Edd. The half inch joint is fine. You will love the result. Because the 4991 tape is a compliant acrylic foam (instead of the rigid Plexus), the windows should not crack again, either. Results, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwQRSP2fYIFmRzdIM1ZfQ25jTDQ/view?usp=sharing Gary

Re: Stus-List Cabin window replacement, again

Okay, now I understand. I apparently have more overlap in my windows, so the width of the tape was no problem. I did bevel the edge of the Plexiglas with a 45 degree router, to give more room for the Dow Corning 795, however. Gary S/V Kaylarah ~~~_/)~~ On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 11:09 PM,

Re: Stus-List Transmission in forward or reverse while sailing?

The answer may depend on what make of transmission you have, but my Hurth transmission recommends reverse. If your prop is spinning in forward, I would suggest that is not good. I would recommend reverse. Some transmission, I'm told, have the oil pump on the input shaft, so there is no lubricati
