Re: Stus-List Prop walk 29-2

You nailed it Steve. Here's a graphic & description of the back & fill. http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/backfill.htm (no affiliation to site, blah blah) I will caution that the ubiquitous furled jib can play havoc with this action if it's windy. It was 1983 that I learned this maneuv

Re: Stus-List Kanzaki KBW10 Transmission Leakage

Hi Brad, I did this on my 2QM20 with Kanzaki gearbox. Output flange removal can be difficult because of the tight space and if I remember correctly there is a locking tab that gets pushed out of the way before trying to remove nut. I had to do it at sea once (off Pachena Point, rolling sea, lo

Re: Stus-List Rusted cotter ring remnants in anchor roller retaining pin

Hi Pete, I expect it is spring steel if you're dealing with a (split) ring. So it's difficult to drill. The simplest method is to dress it flush with the pin surface as best you can, file or grinder, and drill a new hole ~90 degrees from the old. A little away from the old path if you have

Re: Stus-List Flag Etiquette - Past Commodore's Flag

Hi Jonathan, In a conversation where I mentioned "Past Commodore", I was told by an ex-Naval Officer that once a Commodore always a Commodore. With that in mind, I believe the Past Commodore's burgee should be flown in the same manner as the Commodore's burgee. At our Club an executive membe

Hoo boy, The below should read "... an executive member does not qualify as Past Commodore unless he (she) completes the full term (of Commodore). This writing stuff is like "math is hard" too. Cheers, Russ (Alberta people will know what the remark means. :) At 10:24 AM 18/05/2015,

Re: Stus-List Flag Etiquette - Past Commodore's Flag -> cows in spring

Hi Stelios, How about our quest for etiquette, "milking a dead cow"? The other thought was, "it's gone udder up" but I'm pretty sure I just made up that one. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 05:34 PM 18/05/2015, Stelios wrote: Here are the proper ones

Hi David, Probably a pitted shaft at the seal area. Replace shaft & seal no big deal, assess bearing(s) at the same time. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 06:04 PM 18/05/2015, you wrote: Rick, Thank you. Correct on all counts except the missing vane is from the impeller wh

Hi Josh, Prop wash is the disturbed, somewhat aerated, water left behind the boat when motoring. It can be a good place to troll for bluebacks in the spring. :) Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 07:09 PM 18/05/2015, you wrote: Rick, Is their such a thing as prop-wash? If so w

Hi Doug, I know this well. At work, I tell the Chief, "Look. I can make this idiot-proof or I can make it fool-proof. I can't do both." And source knows, I've tried. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 09:27 AM 20/05/2015, you wrote: Amen. Life is tough, it's harder when you are

Re: Stus-List Starting problems

Hi Derek, My 2QM20 might be a similar vintage to your engine. Mine has a fuse near the back of the head, port side, that has a connection which often comes loose. The symptoms shown have been no idiot light at panel or lights okay but no starter power. So far I've cured by wiggle action but
