Stus-List Re: Bottom Paints Again

[Ken Heaton via CnC-List]

RUST-OLEUM makes a GALVANIZING COMPOUND SPRAY which is a 93% pure zinc
coating. I can get it at the local hardware store.  We've used it the last
couple of seasons. The boat comes out with the zinc paint still on
the prop, and no growth whatsoever.  Only about 45 hours on the engine this
season though.

"Instantly galvanize metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion with
Rust-Oleum® Professional Galvanizing Compound Spray. This 93% pure zinc
coating applies a galvanized film with cathodic protection, which resists
rusts, scratches and chips."

 Here in Vancouver, my boat guru suggested zinc paint for the prop and
 shaft. I wasn’t too sure but now I’ve seen several yards using it. My prop
 and shaft come out of the water (yearly) without hard growth on them. I’m
 sold.

 First full season for me with my C&C 34 and I used Interlux Micron CSC,
 as that’s what the previous owner ’thought’ was on it when I bought it. A
 good friend has also used it on his Tartan 3700 for years with good
 results.



 I used 2 to 3 coats after a light sanding of the previous coat(s) and
 it has worked very well. Five months moored in the Northwest Arm in Halifax
 NS and it was surprisingly super clean when it came out at end of season… a
 little green scum in places but that’s it! Stainless prop shaft was caked
 with barnacles and growth, so I’m guessing bottom paint worked great where
 it was applied!



 Does anyone  coat their stainless prop shaft (or brass folding prop)
 with bottom paint?

Stus-List engine oil amount

[G Gao via CnC-List]

Universal Diesel 5424 here. According to the manual, this engine has 5.6QT
of engine oil. Last season and today, both times I use oil extractor
through the dipstick hole, could only get a little over 3 quarters out.

Is this normal, or am I not doing it right?

thx in advance.

I had the same issue and surprise. In my case I was pushing too much of the 
extract hose down the dipstick opening and it would coil up in the pan where 
the opening of the hose was not facing / touching the bottom of the pan. It 
could have also run up the side of the pan internally (too small to see :))

I straightened my extract hose and pushed it down and got all of the oil out 
(4.5 liters). 

My extract hose is a little stiff so all I did was tape a s screw driver on the 
end for weight, held it up and used my heat gun. I cooled it off with a wet rag.

I also wrapped a piece of tape around the extract hose so next time I know :).

Had similar issue on my Yanmar 3GM. I attached a 15" piece of copper tubing to 
the end of the plastic tubing. Problem solved and extracted all the oil.

Stus-List Poli-Glow question

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Got a Poli-Glow question. 
I didn't apply Poli-Glow on the hull for two years and recently noticed some 
peeling.  I hope to try using Poli-Strip but thought I'd ask the group for 
tips.   Is there any temperature minimum?

I think you're right to go back to the gelcoat, but as far as temperature,
if the what you're inquiring about, I would call the manufacturer, the're
pretty friendly that way
