Stus-List Refinishing cabin floor
Sorry for bringing this up again I know it was discussed before but I can't find the old discussions. I have just about finished stripping the floor in Liberty using that non toxic orange stuff from home depot it worked pretty good. I want to coat it with something not to slippery that looks good, glossy or satin finish as long as its protective and looks good what should I use?Gary KolcLiberty1976 38' Mk IIHull # 99Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy Tablet___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List VHF Radio with Outside Extension Mic
I will second Bill’s comment about ram mic vs handheld in cockpit. Aside from wattage and battery charge life there can be other considerations as well. In September 2014 we were racing in the Prince of Wales race is Halifax aboard the C&C115 Koobalibra. Dave’s Ram mic had died so I brought my almost new handheld aboard from Persistence. It was windy and the mainsheet setup on the C&C115 can lead to entaglement with the Binnacle if not careful during gybes. One gybe in 20 knot TWS resulted in this and when we freed it the handheld VHF exploded all over the cockpit. We recovered the VHS before it went out the transom but the battery was gone and all the knobs and antenna were cleaned right off the top by the main sheet. No one was hurt, Koobalibra suffered no damage and we finished the race with no further incidents. Thankfully Perrsistence had won a Std Horizon HH VHF in a race 2 years earlier so was not without one.

Having said that, that is exactly the situation I find myself in now, and just the thought of running the cable up to the cabin has me procrastinating. Like Alan sez, there is a very good chance the existing cable will work with newer mic, or the current cable they sell may work with your older one. There are several on Ebay. Also, if you get another, S-H just came out with a new radio, GX2400, which I just missed getting by a day. Bill Coleman Erie PA ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

I use McCloskey Gymseal. It comes in gloss and satin. It's a product of the Valspar Corporation, located in Wheeling, IL.

Re: Stus-List Edson Engineering Bulletin Thanks
Thanks Stu and Chuck. Chuck speaks the truth about the Morse cables. If they are getting tight, you do need to replace them. Nothing else works and in all probability, you will be surprised at the improvement. I had owned my 1978 27 for more than 15 years when I finally replaced the shifter cable and what a difference! It had always been stiff and I thought that it was the transmission. It was not. Just do it.

So true! My transmission used to take a full hand push to move, I was sure the transmission was screwed. New cable, I can move it with a pinky.

Re: Stus-List Refinishing cabin floor
I tried something different on the floors. After lightly sanding, I used 2 coats of Topcoat epoxy on the floors and then a floor polyurethane gloss above that for hardness and UV protection. I get lots of compliments as the floors looks glossy and wet. A coat of Topcoat is something like 60 coats of varnish, at least per Topcoat's advertisement on the packaging. I've had the floors in place for a year now and no issues. Topcoat is inexpensive for epoxy at $60 for a gallon at Home Depot and is made for table tops and the like. It made for a beautiful and thick clear coat over the original flooring. I need to do one thin coat over the bottom of the boards now too. My only lesson learned is to seal the floors before applying Topcoat. Otherwise, you risk small bubbles. Those drove me nuts and I ended up sanding and re-applying to try to avoid. I learned later that sealing the wood first would have made the most difference. I tried a torch to remove bubbles and had only limited success.

Stus-List Marina/Dock/Pier potable water warning
Meant to post this last week. I was working on a friend's boat and needed some weights to hold something in place until an adhesive cured. I'd brought several clear plastic juice bottles for the purpose. I went to fill the first one from a potable water faucet on the pier. OMG! I couldn't believe nor could I describe the "stuff" that came out of the faucet into the plastic bottles. It was disgusting! This faucet must have been idle for quite some time. Further, it was on a long down leg from the main line which ran above under the roofed pier. Sediment must have been accumulating in the down leg for years. So, my caution is to always liberally purge potable water supply faucets on piers. You don't know how long that particular faucet, supply leg, etc. has been idle. You don't know if some strange insect has taken up residence in the faucet. Purge. Purge. Purge. -- Dennis C.
