Re: Stus-List Portlight Replacement with VHB Tape & Dow 795

[robert via CnC-List]

Kevin:
I intended using suction cups to hold my new windows in place, however, 
before I actually did the job, I experimented with the suction cups on 
the new windows and found they did not hold on for very long.  I used 
Sika 295 |||UV as the adhesive and therefore left the 'paper' on 
the inside of the new window to keep the Sika off.  The paper interfered 
with the holding capacity of the suction cups and I had to go to plan B.


Plan B involved placing 2" X 4"'s from the toerail to the outside of the 
new windows with approx. 10 to 15 pounds of weight on each piece of 
wood..I think I used three pieces of wood on each of the front 
(longer) windows and two on the back (shorter) ones.


I suggest you test the suction cups before you attempt the job.

Robert,
Thanks for further input. My plan is to follow the same idea. I
like your keyhole idea to locate the window effectively.
One question - did you tape the window in place and then add the
795 into the gap? Or did you put some 795 on the back of the
acrylic (or the cabin side)? I feel like I'd like to get more 795
in begins the acrylic - but maybe the point is that the tape
provides the holding power and the 795 is just waterproofing sealant.

I am writing to update on my portlight replacement project.

The installation went perfectly and the portlight looks great.

Applying a few wood blocks to the inside of the portlight with
removable, double-sided poster tape was a very effective way
to affix the portlight in proper alignment. It slid into
position like a puzzle piece, which is good because you only
get one crack at it with the VHB tape.

I also have a very good feeling about the VHB / DC 795 method
- though time will be the ultimate judge. I am comforted by
the thought that the tape and DC 795 will allow the
portlight to expand and contract with heat and cold at a
different rate that the cabin top without breaking the bond
(in theory, anyway).

For those that are thinking of using the same technique,
here’s one final tip and a few comments.

The tip: I had good success using a couple of telescoping
hiking poles to apply pressure to the portlight by bracing
them against the lifelines while the VHB tape set up. I also
used a heat gun to warm up the cabin top before applying the
portlight.

I have no leaks in any of the other portlights (yet), so I’m
going to wait until the weather warms up before I start on
them. I learned that the initial bond of the VHB tape is
dependent on both the application of continuous pressure and
the ambient temperature. The 3M data sheet does a better job
of explaining this than I will. Once you have a solid bond,
it will hold well even in cold conditions, but you will be
doing yourself a favour if you wait for warmer conditions.

I have been reading the recent posts about windows and I
thought that some might be interested to hear of my experience
replacing the portlights on my 1989 30 MKII. Please note that
I just started the on-boat part of the project yesterday and
the work is not yet complete.

In late fall I made tracings of the portlights which I
transfered to 1/2 inch ply. The templates were cut using a
circular saw with a guide rail system and a router. I then
took my templates to a local plastics manufacturer, and they
made the portlights from 1/4 inch plexiglass (Bronze 2404).
The edges of the portlights are bevelled at 22.5 degrees (if I
remember correctly). They turned out to be very good
reproductions of the factory portlights.

To ready myself for the project, I also purchased 36 yards

Stus-List Electronics deals?

[Stevan Plavsa via CnC-List]

Hi All,

Last year B&G had a promo/rebate on their wind/speed/depth package where
they offered a free display with the purchase of the kit. That was a good
deal and I would have taken advantage of it then but other priorities won
out.

Right now, it looks like B&G is only offering a $100 rebate on the kit, far
less appealing than the promo last year. I know at least one of you guys is
involved in the marine electronics business and maybe you know of other
deals or promos that are available or that might be on their way for
spring? What I'm after is a wind instrument first and foremost, I have
speed and depth but I'll do the whole shebang if it's a good deal. The
Garmin GWS 10 wind sensor/display bundle is priced very competively but
I've never liked Garmin. I believe it is nmea 2k though so it should work
with say, a B&G Zeus 8 or something, right?

Stus-List Need help from a fellow Cnc listers in Florida

[Bruno Lachance via CnC-List]

 
Hi,
 
I need the help and support of the list to find a solution for a friend of mine 
that is stock with his boat and family in Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas. His 1 
inch shaft (the boat) simply broke in two pieces after catching a line at 2600 
rpr. Probably a manufacturing defect. He needs replacement parts before he 
haulout the boat for the repair.
 
I am waiting for precise specifications (lenght, size, etc...), but he needs to 
find a shop in Florida that could ship him the replacement parts ASAP. He needs 
a new 1 inch shaft and a new cutlass bearing and would also like a drive saver 
coupling plate. Specifications following soon...
 
Anybody outthere that could help me help him ? 
 
I am looking for references on a good shop that could take charge of this and 
organize the shipping, any onsite help would also be appreciated if needed. I 
am in Quebec, Canada.
 
I could pay the order via my credit card on the phone.
 
Thanks a lot, please contact me off the list if you are in a position to assist.

Re: Stus-List Electronics deals?

[Pierre Tremblay via CnC-List]

Just downloaded the B&G rebate PDF from Defender, and the rebate for the Triton 
Speed/Depth/Wind package is $150US and an additional Triton give $50US more.
Defender has a 2 Triton + Speed/Depth/Wind package at $1700. If I compare with 
BLYacht.com pricing for the equivalent (Triton S/D/W pack + 1 Triton), Defender 
is $100 less even considering exchange rate (0.78) and taxes (13% in ON), 
excluding shipping. Shipping and broking fee for Defender might kill the 
difference.
Yes Garmin bundle will (usual not-my-fault-if-it-don't-work) work with B&G 
stuff. Calibration of Garmin sensor will be available only on the Garmin 
display.

Re: Stus-List Need help from a fellow Cnc listers in Florida

[Jake Brodersen via CnC-List]

Bruno,

 

A number of things to take into consideration here.

 

a)  The keyway will need to be cut into the shaft before shipping.
Accurate measurements are crucial.

b)  The Drive Saver will be a good addition, but it will also affect the
finished shaft length.  I had to trim several inches from my prop shaft when
I installed mine.  I can’t recall exactly how much it was, but PYI can
probably tell you.

 off more than I could chew). I knew that the factory
 portlights were glued on with a methacrylate adhesive and
 that they would be difficult to remove. I brought my Dremel
 Multimax (which is like a Fein Multimaster) and tried using
 a flexible scraper to get between the plexi and the cabin
 top. This was not effective. In the end, I used several
 small putty knives which easily removed the

 What the

 to remove the adhesive but ultimately decided that the
 better course would be to fair the area with 3m Premium

Re: Stus-List Electronics deals?

[prf680 via CnC-List]

The B&G Wind / Depth / Speed has a $150 (US, so the form says) rebate until end 
of March. The package is $1600 (CAN) at Westmarine. I've seen it at US online 
retailers for as low as $1230 (US) ... but then you've got shipping and 
probably duty to contend with.

Marineoutfitters has the Plastimo advansea - wind is $660 and combi depth/speed 
$550. I think HMP carries them too. Dont know about reliability. 
Marineoutfitters also has the older ST60+ value pack for $1570 and the new i60 
value pack for $1700.

VMG has the NASA Clipper wind for $460 and the combo depth/speed for $400 ... 
but lots of mixed reviews and limited connectivity.

When is your local Westmarine closing? There might be some deals coming up then?

Right now, it looks like B&G is only offering a $100 rebate on the kit, far

Re: Stus-List Need help from a fellow Cnc listers in Florida

[Chuck S via CnC-List]

Bruno, 
You are a very good friend. 

What make and model boat does your friend have? 1" Shaft". Length? Keyway 
dimensions? Taper for the prop? Cutless bearing OD and length? 

There is a slim chance someone on this list has replaced theirs so your friend 
may have to haul the boat, remove the shaft, measure everything and order the 
right parts? If he's doing all this he should also replace the piece of hose 
between the shaft log and the stuffing box if it's older than 10 years? 

I doubt anybody but the builder keeps prop shaft dimensions for a specific 
boat. Best of luck.

Re: Stus-List Need help from a fellow Cnc listers in Florida

[Steve Thomas via CnC-List]

The guy who owns Holland Marine in Toronto has (or at least had) a CS36 but 
I don't know if it is a Merlin.

He also got a lot of CS left over parts, after CS closed down.
It is possible that he got some of their documentation as well, I do know 
that he got a LOT of stuff.

If memory serves correctly, he even had at least one of their molds.
It is not Florida, but they might be able to help.

I have had mixed results in communicating with them over the years, 
especially by telephone, so be prepared to be patient.
A lot of people have had nothing but a positive experience, so maybe that 
was just me.

Re: Stus-List Need help from a fellow Cnc listers in Florida

[Bruno Lachance via CnC-List]

Hello listers,

Thanks for the support, i received some good tips and it helps to limit 
potential errors. 

here is the update on the situation. the cutlass and drive saver plate are 
already on order. the most complicated part is to find or calculate the right 
lenght of the prop shaft. the actual broken one was new before departure last 
july, as is the PSS and the cutlass that will be replaces as a precaution. my 
friend wants to have all the parts, and then do the repair with the boat on a 
rustic travel lift nearby. 

the boat is a CS 36 Merlin 1988 with a Volvo engine, the transmission has a 4 
inches flange. the shaft is 1 inch diameter and "about" 66 to 70 inches long. 
Mine is 44 on my 33mkII So its pretty long...The prop is a Martec So everything 
points to a standard SAE  Taper That is usually found on our boats, the key 
is 1/4 and the coupling is actually a split coupling that could fit on a "on 
the spot home cut to the right lenght, not face fitted" shaft. but if he could 
have the shaft lenght from a good source, a new fitted coupling would be on 
order.

I have been in contact with DeepBlue yacht supply in Fort Lauderdale and it 
seems easy to order from their website. there is 3-4 days production time 
before shipping. The good reviews from this list are reassuring. Thanks.

SO, i am still looking for the original shaft lenght, are the CS plans 
available at the Maritime museum too? Any others sources for that info that i 
could get my hands on before tomorrow? I doubt Holland Marine has that info but 
will try tomorrow.

ALSO, we are still looking for someone that could pickup the shaft at DeepBlue 
yacht supply and bring it few blocks away at Reggie Express services that Fly 
from there to Georgetown, Exumas. we want to save the additional shipping delay 
from UPS. Its just few kilometers away... 

Thanks for helping a fellow sailor and his family. the CS is still a very nice 
boat!

I'm a member on the CS owners association group - a request for shaft 
info was already posted on that list yesterday.

There is a slim chance someone on this list has replaced theirs so 
your friend may have to haul the boat, remove the shaft, measure 
everything and order the right parts?  If he's doing all this he 
should also replace the piece of hose between the shaft log and the 
stuffing box if it's older than 10 years?


I doubt anybody but the builder keeps prop shaft dimensions for a 
specific boat.  Best of luck.

 I imagine that Bruno will be back with more details but in the 
meantime the boat involved is a CS Merlin 36 ft. long. If somebody 
knows of a CS newsgroup similar to our C&C group it could be of a big 
help.

Hi Bruno.

If this has been mentioned then I missed it.
Please tell your friend (Fred) that a very 
important step in a successful prop shaft install 
is to true the flange face with it mounted to the 
shaft. Even with a brand new custom shaft & brand 
new coupling half, it is good to true the face 
before install. The shaft is easily bent a wee bit in handling.
The truing process is really basic in the 
machining world, even an apprentice might be tasked to it.


Cheers, Russ

Hello listers,

Thanks for the support, i received some good 
tips and it helps to limit potential errors.


here is the update on the situation. the cutlass 
and drive saver plate are already on order. the 
most complicated part is to find or calculate 
the right lenght of the prop shaft. the actual 
broken one was new before departure last july, 
as is the PSS and the cutlass that will be 
replaces as a precaution. my friend wants to 
have all the parts, and then do the repair with 
the boat on a rustic travel lift nearby.


the boat is a CS 36 Merlin 1988 with a Volvo 
engine, the transmission has a 4 inches flange. 
the shaft is 1 inch diameter and "about" 66 to 
70 inches long. Mine is 44 on my 33mkII So its 
pretty long...The prop is a Martec So everything 
points to a standard SAE  Taper That is 
usually found on our boats, the key is 1/4 and 
the coupling is actually a split coupling that 
could fit on a "on the spot home cut to the 
right lenght, not face fitted" shaft. but if he 
could have the shaft lenght from a good source, 
a new fitted coupling would be on order.


I have been in contact with DeepBlue yacht 
supply in Fort Lauderdale and it seems easy to 
order from their website. there is 3-4 days 
production time before shipping. The good 
reviews from this list are reassuring. Thanks.


SO, i am still looking for the original shaft 
lenght, are the CS plans available at the 
Maritime museum too? Any others sources for that 
info that i could get my hands on before 
tomorrow? I doubt Holland Marine has that info but will try tomorrow.


ALSO, we are still looking for someone that 
could pickup the shaft at DeepBlue yacht supply 
and bring it few blocks away at Reggie Express 
services that Fly from there to Georgetown, 
Exumas. we want to save the additional shipping 
delay from UPS. Its just few kilometers away...


Thanks for helping a fellow sailor and his 
family. the CS is still a very nice boat!
