Re: Stus-List (no subject)

Hi John, First suggestion is to check the Photoalbum site to se if your manual is listed in the resources sections. Then talk with a few old guys at your marina. If that doesn't work out well enough, post a few more details here and we'll take a stab at it. :) Cheers, Russ S

Re: Stus-List 35 MK III

Hi Eric, If you are serious about a 35, check out my boat. No issues, I plan to haul in late August (or earlier if opportunity presents) to do regular maintenance. I didn't put in the ad that the bottom was prep'd and waterproofed, Intercoat 2000, with the boat out of the water for 8 months

Re: Stus-List Bermuda and the --> cruise idea

Hi Barbara, Sounds like Bermuda was worth the trip after all with some items of experience to reinforce what you already believe eh. The info below came from Doug to the list a few days ago in the 35 mk-III discussion. I think a Landfill 38 would make a good cruising boat. Unfortunately

Re: Stus-List Overloaded boat overturns near Cape Cod Canal

A 24 foot bow-rider will have installed seating for at least 12 people., 16 is not too much on a lake. A Bahamian sloop will carry a dozen more than a CG certificate will allow. Blame the skipper, not the boat. The idiots, no wonder we have so much government in our pockets. It makes me sic

Re: Stus-List clogged refrigerator drain

I would try to clear it with a "shop-vac" from the ice box side of things. You will probably need to neck down the vac hose to be effective. The idea being that something went down to clog the hose FROM this opening. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 09:23 PM 01/08/2017, you wro

Re: Stus-List Mast pumping?

Hi Al, Hoist a fender up a halyard so it hangs somewhere between the upper & lower spreaders and is near or alongside the mast. Or, goggle vortex shedding and then after an hour or so of reading, see above. It's nothing to worry about. Sweet does this occasionally. Cheers, Russ At
