Josh, Presured air works wonders. Any RV place will have an adapter. Amazon has them, too. Marek Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network. Original message From: John Russo via CnC-List Date: 2015-10-27 22:21 (GMT-05:00) To:

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

You can warm it up on the hard. I do it regularly before putting antifreeze in. There are a few ways; I find this one the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKky09u1fGU Of course, you need access to ample amount of fresh water (and a bucket). Russ, I know the place. Been there a few times.

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

as I mentioned before, I suggest two oil changes. I still found water in the oil after the first one. Not much, but you don’t want any, especially if you are laying it over for the winter. Marek From: Russ & Melody via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2015 1:29 AM To:

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

Rob, You may not have overly low temperatures in Halifax, but 2 gal of AF would not be enough here (in Ottawa). Have you ever checked the actual concentration of AF that is _leaving_ the exhaust? I use about 5 gal (20 l - 25 l). The extra $3.50 is a cheap insurance for not busting (bursting)

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

David, this is exactly how I managed mine – I primed the hose until one of the cylinders was full (;-). I can tell you that your impeller is dead (this is why you needed to prime or why the AF kept coming down the hose). Marek From: David Pulaski via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, October 22,

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

the engine is running. Presumably this would be the same advice you would give if hand cranking the engine to remove water from a hydro lock? -- Jonathan Indigo C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Oct 22, 2015, at 00:04, Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: An interesting qu

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

I also run the engine once the water was out of cylinders, but I am not sure if this is a good idea. The oil got very nicely mixed with water (completely grey, evenly mixed emulsion). It was difficult to pump that mess out. Honestly, I don’t know what is better: mix the water with oil and pump

Re: Stus-List Hydrolocked!

An interesting question would how did you manage to hydro lock it. The easiest way is to use garden hose to feed water into the cooling system with a failed impeller. But what method did you use? Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: David Pulaski via CnC-List Sent: October 21, 2015

Re: Stus-List C 24 Bimini Question

I have seen (pictures) of C 24 with a dodger out of BC. I guess they sail there year round and it can get quite cold. Marek From: Paul Baker via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 12:21 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Paul Baker Subject: Re: Stus-List C 24 Bimini Question I
