What do you mean by "did Navtec go to a different option because of the dissimilar metals issue?" Different option than what?
The ball under the Navtang cap that you're referring to is actually a "stemball washer". I assume you're referring to the cup-like washer that seats below the stemball, inside the Navtang cap. Sometimes also called a stemball seat. I assume you're not talking about the stemball itself, because if your rods were cut, then the stemball isn't relevant or reusable. If you just need a stemball washer, that's pretty easy - anyone who reheads the rod will be able get one. You'll need to give them the Navtang cups. The through bolt was aluminum on older Navtangs but they switched to SS on newer models (sometimes around '82/83 I believe, so you probably have aluminum). The dissimiliar metal there isn't the big issue (except when getting the tang apart), the issue is that aluminum corrodes quicker and can get eaten up by wire halyards that they had back in the day. You need to talk to a rigger who does Navtec or BSI orders. My BSI order is finally arriving this week. -Patrick 1984 C&C Landfall 38 On Mon, Feb 13, 2017 at 1:02 PM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Steve <sjon1...@gmail.com> > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Cc: > Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:50:20 -0500 > Subject: Stus-List Rod rigging. > My newly acquired 1980 CNC 36 had the heads cut off of the intermediate > shrouds.
