I have the bypass already. One of the better upgrades I ever made. Makes the winterisation a substantially easier job. Marek From: Chad Osmond via CnC-List Sent: Friday, March 2, 2018 14:58 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Chad Osmond Subject: Re: Stus-List water heater We have the Kuuma, and the

Stus-List water heater

I have to replace my water heater. I was wondering if there is a common wisdom on which ones are good and which ones are to be avoided. It looks like Kuuma, Camco and Seaward are available here (and all seem to look the same or very similar). I am looking for a 5-6 gal. heater that can use the

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

Joe, actually, the fact that someone did not close the access point does not mean that you can freely use it. As Neil said, you could be accused of stealing the service and if I remember correctly, some people were prosecuted, both in the US and Canada. This is very similar to entering

Re: Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

The only reason for water dripping is to lubricate (and cool) the seal/shaft interface. However, the PTFE packing has low enough friction that you don't need to lubricate. Hence, no need for dripping water. Btw. the main difference between the normal shaft seal (regardless of packing) and the

Re: Stus-List PSS Shaft Seal

Of course, it is always “your boat, your choice”, but the PSS is not unsafe. Great majority, if not all of the reports of dripless shaft seals failing catastrophically are on boats where these seals were not properly maintained. Dripless is dripless (not a drop of water over 3 years; completely
