Re: Stus-List question about a C&C 30 mkii keel
When I owned a Catalina 27, the email list for that boat talked a lot about the “Catalina smile”. It’s not unique to C&C.

From: Lisle Kingery, PhD via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2017 7:37 PM To: CnC-List@cnc-list.com Cc: Lisle Kingery, PhD Subject: Stus-List question about a C&C 30 mkii keel Hi all, More questions from an aspiring C&C owner. :) I'm considering this 1987 C&C 30mkii and overall it looks interesting. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/C%26C-30-3079275/Rochester/NY/United-States#.WcRLTWiPJPY I'm stuck with a draft of 5 or under where I'll be keeping the eventual sailboat I get and this is the only wing keel version I see available at least reasonably nearby. I have a question about what appears to be at least a surface crack along the middle of the keel that goes pretty much the entire length of the keel. I've pasted the picture into the email below but not sure if that is going to show up on the listserv. If not, if anyone familiar with this model in particular could let me know if you could take a quick look at the picture and provide an opinion on normal vs. abnormal I could email pics.

Re: Stus-List question about a C&C 30 mkii keel
The “smile” isn’t that uncommon, nor is it exclusive to C&C boats. I’ve seen it on a Ranger 26, a couple of Newports, and older Beneteau… The problem is not the “job” mating the keel to the stub. The problem is that the joint flexes as the boat heels (the thin layer of sealant between the surfaces lets a little flex happen), and over time the torque will ease off and allow the cracks in the fairing compound or paint at the edges of the joint. If you retorque the nuts every 4 or 5 years, the cosmetic impacts seem to go away – or at least be quite minimal. The Ranger 26, BTW, was bought by the son of a friend. When we went to do the bottom, we discovered the crack… and then found out that the keel was actually held in place by capscrews screwed into the top of the keel from inside the boat. Which really looked to me to be a good way to lose the keel if you didn’t tighten the bolts regularly.

Stus-List Keel bolt torque w/multiplier
I was seeking a more efficient way to torque the keel bolts and found a multiplier on Amazon for $60...I thought it might be worth a try. It multiies 59:1. So, for 300 ft lbs that MIGHT men about 5 gr8 lbs. I did have to purchase some adapting sockets to match it's 1" drive, but still cheaper than renting or having the yard doitThis multiplier kit was really intended for truck tires. It does not have a gauge. So, am I full of beans??? Am I fooling myself that this is doing what I want it to do? I suppose I will know more when Alegria gets pulled in a few weeks..Thoughts?

Re: Stus-List Keel bolt torque w/multiplier
I used a multiplier on a transmission bolt and literally twisted it off the truck. The torque it supplies is real, so treat it with respect. > On Sep 23, 2017, at 1:42 PM, ssjohnson via CnC-List > wrote: > > I was seeking a more efficient way to torque the keel bolts and found a > multiplier on Amazon for $60...I thought it might be worth a try.
