Re: Stus-List C&C33 Mark II Deck Creaking
Blog updated per below. Hope it helps. Am way behind on updating this blog, lots of stuff to share https://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2019/07/bulkheaddeck-reinforcement-at-hanging.html Dave Windstar 33-2 Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Dave S Sent: July 26, 2019 9:33 PM To: Andrew Walther Cc: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C33 Mark II Deck Creaking Sorry Andy - late reply This creaks in some 33-2 models because the aft bulkhead is not tabbed to the deck but sits in a groove in the headliner. Grab the handhold on the hanging locker and push and pull and you’ll replicate the creak. I fixed this last winter by cutting out the liner inside the hanging locker and tabbing the bulkhead to the deck. will post pics and details to my 33-2 blog this weekend. Dave - 33-2 Windstar.

The boat is overall in very good shape but I did notice creaking when walking on the deck slightly forward of the bulkhead whilst at dock. We were out in heavy seas (25 knots) on our last trip reaching through waves and the creaking was quite noticeable down below. There are no soft spots and from visual and audible inspections I don’t see any signs of delamination. Also no signs of water ingress. I’m thinking that the joint between the bulkhead and deck may have come loose and was wondering if anybody has experienced the same, and would be curious to hear any suggestions on how to remedy the issue.

Re: Stus-List Hatch Springs...
Yup...I seem to have their use backwards. They are installed under compression to avoid From: CnC-List on behalf of John and Maryann Read via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 8:38:14 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: John and Maryann Read Subject: Re: Stus-List Hatch Springs... David Our forward hatch has 2 coiled springs that act to keep the hatch partially open and do nothing to prevent bouncing off the deck. They allow air flow through the hatch. As for exuberant opening prevention, the adjusting rod has a groove in the outboard end in which a nylon washer is inserted which prevents the hatch from opening too far.

So I have two coiled hatch springs which the hatch hinge pin capture on my 1981rebuilt Atkins and Hoyle forward hatch. They are there to prevent the hatch from bouncing off the deck when it was flung fully open for chute drops. For the life of me I can't figure out how to install them to function as intended. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks in advance. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.
