Over the past couple of weeks Ive been sorting and reorganizing in the garage, and I have some stuff that I dont need or want to keep, but that may have value to another C&C owner. Before I discard things, or offer then to a local boater resale shop, I thought I would offer them to the list. Here is an initial list of a couple of items:
A Blue Sea Systems Automatic Charge Relay. Part number 7610. New, never used. I bought it for a project but decided that the 120 amp max current flow would require humongous wires because of the long run between my house bank and the battery forward that powers my head and anchor windlass. Donate $50 to Stu and it is yours. Ill even pay the shipping and get satisfaction to having it be useful instead of sitting on a shelf in a resale shop. I have converted Imzadi to a propane stove and oven it was a major task to replace the original pressurized alcohol stove and build lockers for the propane tanks. I recall that, before the conversion, I had real problems finding parts to repair one of the burners. So I suspect someone could use parts from my stove as spares. My stove is a 2 burner Galley Maid stainless stove and oven that was standard on the 38 mk2. I also have the pressurized alcohol tank that was part of the system. I think the stove gimbals are still attached. Shipping the whole kit and caboodle would be expensive, so if you need parts and make a donation to Stu, let me know what you need and I will ship it to you and recycle the rest of the metal. Someone told me that Loran remained in operation in Canada (and the Great Lakes) after being turned off in the US. I remember that my fishermen friends were pretty upset at losing the accuracy and repeatability of Loran down here. If Loran still works up there, perhaps you have a fisherman friend who could use the Apelco DXL6350 system that I removed from Imzadi. I even still have the whip antenna that goes along with the system. One night a couple of years ago, someone decided they needed the 3 ½ hp two-stoke Nissan motor for my dinghy more than I did. Ive replaced it with a 3 ½ hp Nissan, but still have some spares from the old motor. One box has a 3-blade, 7.4 dia x 5.7 pitch prop (part number 309641060M) that fits the 2.5 & 3.5 hp Nissan and Tohatsu 2 strokes. (And Mercury as well, IIRC) I also have shear pins, cotter pins, and zincs. I think I also have a carb rebuild kit and some other engine parts, but havent founf that box yet. Make a donation to Stu and they are yours. The marina I run used to have a lifejacket loaner program in conjunction with the local Sea Tow franchise. We wound up with a bunch of life jackets after the owner of the Sea Tow franchise retired. Ive donated all the adult and youth size to local sailing schools and museums for use on their boats, but I have a couple of child and several infant size PFDs left. If you know anyone who could use one or two, let me know, and they are free to a good home. Tell me how many you need and Ill pick out the best of them. Any that get left over will go to the Salvation Army, but I doubt there would be much demand in their resale shop. Im sure I also have some removed deck hardware like mounting chocks for spin and whisker poles and metal winch handles, and some 3 and 4 cowl vent scoops to replace any that have jumped overboard. If you need any of this, contact me off list and we can arrange shipping and a donation to Stu to support the list. Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk2 #47 la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1 #225 Washington, NC
