Stus-List New Lister - Need Help Identifying Water System Fitting Type - C&C 36 1981

2017-12-11 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Newbie here. Bought my first keelboat in June of this year, a 1981 C&C 36'
with a centerboard. These boats are highly regarded in this area and
personally, I absolutely love mine. Been racing other-people's-boats and
bareboat cruising  in Tampa Bay and the Caribbean for decades. I am a
member of the Davis Island Yacht Club. I am an electrical engineer with
specialty in automation and controls and I work with a Florida electric
cooperative utility. Joined the database and this list just a few weeks ago.

Looking for a source of a replacement parts for the pressurized water
system tubing & fittings. One of compression nuts is cracked. The elbow
fitting on the vent line shown in the photo is the type in question
although the broken nut is elsewhere. I also wonder if the ferrule and
back-up ring can be removed and replaced, or if it must be cut off and
replaced with a new one.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5A2zIupq2XBbHhyLWRRcGhXSXRpeG9oVlVlY0FTRjhndEdj

The line size is 1/2" O.D. X 3/8" I.D. and the tubing is made of an unknown
type of hard gray plastic. It doesn't appear to have any markings.

Any help is appreciated.

Stus-List Networking Some Old Instruments & AIS Receiver

2017-12-15 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
I would like to get AIS info from my Raymarine AIS350 receiver and my
SeaTalk Wind, Depth, and Log into my Garmin GMAP541. It seems simple enough
with a SeaTalk to SeaTalkNG converter.

Here's a drawing of how I think it might work:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=18Ak4iJhpxNoIvma0lOSFtoot5pj-Pb82

Power for the ST-STNG converter comes from the SPX-5 Course Computer.

What are the chances this could work?

Re: Stus-List Networking Some Old Instruments & AIS Receiver

2017-12-19 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Hi Fred,

Thanks for your thoughtful response! I appreciate real-world experience
over reading between the lines of technical literature any day.

The Raymarine literature reads "
*Power must be supplied by either the SeaTalk network OR the SeaTalkng bus;
it must not be powered from both sides. If present, the preferred power
supply method is via a connected autopilot*."

To me this means the source of DC power can be the autopilot, but now I
understand it must be fed through a standard power tee or a converter port.
Please let me know if that's not right.

In any case, I'll plan to extend the SeaTalkNG buss using standard NMEA
2000 hardware for future non-proprietary compatibility and will use either
a power tee or a port on the converter to power the buss.

Your input is appreciated, I will be in touch for a quote once the details
of the BOM are finalized.

Stus-List 1981 C&C 36' - Fresh Water Tank Replacement

2018-01-08 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Both 19 gallon tanks, port and starboard, are leaking in multiple
locations. They are vee-bottom four sided tanks with recesses in the top
where stiffeners under the cover plate fit. I tried plastic welding but the
results were questionable in terms of reliability.

The manufacturer, Kracor, says new ones can be made to order in 3-4 weeks
if I contact a local boat yard to place the order. This sounds expensive
and cumbersome.

What are my other options? Is it easy to contact a local tank company and
have a tank copied at a competitive cost and reasonable lead-time?

Hi Steve,

I've asked my local boat yard for a quote and will let you know when I hear
back from them. The tank on my boat is a Kracor model 1-5087, 19 gallons,
as indicated on the label on one of the tanks. Both appear to be identical.
The label on the second tank is unreadable.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C&C 36' - Fresh Water Tank Replacement

2018-03-26 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Just to report back on this thread, what follows is my twisted 11-week path
to resolution of a crack in one of my water tanks plus hairline cracks
around the inspection ports, and difficulty getting a good seal on the
Quest fittings on both tanks:

Kracor initially said that they could quote replacement roto-molded tanks,
but when it came down to it, they have been acquired by Yamaha and will now
only quote large quantity orders.

South Shore Yachts was able to quote new tanks from a third party but at
over $1000 each, plus shipping to Florida, seemed cost prohibitive.

Ultimately, I used a Florida tank manufacturer & repair facility, Seelye
Inc., in Ocoee, FL to repair the crack in the tank. The cost to weld an
8-inch crack was $65. They tested it to be leak free but there is no
warranty.

On reassembly, I had trouble getting a seal around the suction fittings,
which are Qest elbows, but found that if I first connected the tubing to
the fitting and then screwed it in, I could get another couple of turns on
the fitting. Both tanks are essentially leak-free except for a little
weeping around the inspection ports if overfilled. I plan to avoid
overfilling.

While at it I also replaced the 4" o-rings on the tank ports (AS568-240),
and on the old-style Jabsco suction strainers (AS568-131) and installed a
Teflon back-up ring (AS568-007) under the strainer cover screw heads.

Now on to the next adventure...

Stus-List Nav Panel Refurb - C&C 36-1

2018-03-27 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Has anybody rebuilt a nav panel on a C&C 36 or similar? Mine is rotted at
the bottom and the breakers are all corroded. The leak is fixed and I
picked up a very nice used breaker panel from a lister here (thanks Neil).

I want to repair & replace the rotted teak and replace the whole cutout
panel with one on piano hinges, along with the breaker panel. There's a
nice project done on a Beneteau at sailbitsdotcom but some C&C specific
tribal knowledge would be great I'm sure.

Also have components to network the ST60 stuff, Garmin chartplotter, an AIS
receiver, and a Yacht Devices Wi-Fi bridge onto an NMEA2000 buss - so all
of that should probably happen at the same time.

Stus-List 36' Nav Panel Disassembly

2018-05-04 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Looking for advice on how to take apart the nav panel on my C&C 36'.

I want to pull some wires through and take measurements for a breaker panel
upgrade and other improvements, but want to put it back together
temporarily so I can still sail in themeantime.

If I look in the breaker panel opening it looks like there are rails inside
along the perimeter but not sure about access to unscrew it. Maybe that's
the only access!?

Actually looking to remove the entire panel that the electronics are
mounted on, not just the breaker panel. Anybody done that on a 36'?

I plan to upgrade the breaker panel and install a main panel with hinged
access. For now though I just want to get some take-off measurements so I
can fab a replacement in the shop.

I'm prepared for surprises, there was a leak for a long time so there's a
lot of corrosion and delaminated wood in there, probably more.

Looking for documentation of the pendant dimensions so that I have a

Re: Stus-List 36' C&C w/CB - Looking for Centerboard Pendant Dimensions

2018-06-13 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the quick reply and the info although we might not be talking
apples and apples here.

The previous owner said it's *easier* to change before it fails rather than
describing the dire situation you encountered. A diver in our club has done
it many times here on C&C's of various lengths, probably older models.

He also described having to use the winches to run a line under the keel
once to raise it when it failed, so he could get back in the slip and
didn't mention a concern for damage. Maybe just lucky. I think if it let
loose and that 800 pound steel blade fell through it's full arc to the stop
I would have a real concern for damage to the trunk.

Hopefully someone has some info. It seems the centerboard versions weren't
well documented.

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

2018-06-13 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Hi Brad,

Here are photos from my shunt installed on the forward bulkhead as you
mentioned as well as the general arrangement in the compartment.

Question: Does your setup have three batteries and if so what are their
sizes and locations? I would like to add a third battery and I'm not sure
where to put it.

Re: Stus-List 36' C&C w/CB - Looking for Centerboard Pendant Dimensions

2018-06-13 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Thanks for thinking of that Ken.

I remember Edd's post and read it with interest but my setup is completely
different. My centerboard blade (from memory) is only about 9 inches wide
and extends about 3 feet down from the trunk. There's a picture of it in
this cut sheet.

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/11mde7_G5F2A35piMtjzEzQSM_JFmG6m8/view?usp=drive_web>
​
I'm starting to think I'll maybe ask a rigger to make a thimble onto a long
piece of Dyneema that I can then pull in, cut to length, and then make a
second thimble on topside for connection to the blocks. It would be great
if I know the length though...

Hi Edd,

Good idea - hadn't though about doing take-off measurements on the drawing.
I'll round up and add 20% and it should be plenty. I already talked with
the diver and he remembers it being easy.

I appreciate all the help in avoiding a headache (the woes you mentioned).
I'm sure there are others are on the horizon, I'll avoid this one if I can.

Hi Josh,

You're spot-on with your recommendations on the electrical work. Really
appreciate the links to bona-fide vendors and equipment. That Blue-Sea fuse
holder is really nice!

Sadly, the stuff at the top of my current list falls into the category of
impending failure. Ha! Just finished a complete pedestal rebuild and engine
service. I'm keeping an eye on the electrical stuff for now, for signs of
the aforementioned impending doom, until it floats to the top of the list.
Also sad - the PO and I are both electrical engineers. I think there's a
saying about the plumber's pipes leaking or something...

When the time comes for the 12VDC power work it will be much more robust.
Comments appreciated.

Hi Mike,

That's a huge help. Thanks for the info. Sounds like you did a jam-up job

I'll let you know if the 7-footer will work, and I appreciate the offer.

Re: Stus-List ST4000+ Mechanical Problem

2018-07-03 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
I had mine apart late last year and was successful in replacing the clutch
lever and clutch eccentric, getting it back together, and operational.
Symptoms were "catching" sound in the until and no positive "feel" for
whether it was engaged or disengaged. The wheel didn't hang up but a couple
dozen little black balls fell out and rolled across the deck, prompting
some thoroughly inappropriate comments from the crew. "You paid what for
that??!!"

The problem with mine centered around the clutch lever slipping on it's
shaft, thus it was impossible to reliably engage/disengage. New clutch
lever and eccentric cost about $50. Parts are stupid expensive , clearly
driven by what the market will bear and not related to manufacturing cost
or value IMO. The clutch adjustment is explained in the manual. Seems mine
is tight too even on the minimum setting. Perhaps the belts *shrink* over
time? In hindsight I probably should have changed the belt too. It seems to
drag on the drum even when disengaged.

The thing seems lightly built for the intended purpose and I don't relish
the thought of having to depend on it for any extended period of time
nonetheless, it came with her.

Biggest trouble I had was finding the contact info to order Raymarine parts
which is orderd...@raymarine.com; 603.324.7600. The repair manual is pretty
good, and is at the link below. Let me know if you need more info.

Re: Stus-List Edson Wheel Idler Pulley Plate

2018-07-05 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
On my boat, Chamamé, she just received a complete overhaul of the Edson
#334 pedestal, #727 engine controls, #776 idler plate with cable
replacement in May. Like Bruce, I am sailing locally but plan venture into
the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

Bruce, your steps appear in order and the job is not difficult except for
limited access. Mine was out in about two hours but the shop work seemed to
take forever and reassembly took all of an afternoon. I seem to have to put
things together about three times before I get it exactly right for the
final assembly. Please don't hesitate to call me and talk it through.

My idler plate appeared in much better condition than Bruce's but upon
removal and closer inspection I found that a stainless grommet, that makes
the pivot point and attaches the wheel assembly to the plate, had cracked
about halfway around it's circumference. Left unchecked this likely would
have resulted in a ugly failure before the next inspection. Edson balked at
repairing the assembly, saying that they have never seen one returned in
serviceable condition. I sent a photo that showed that it was
otherwise fine condition and they said OK to return it for assessment.

I attribute it's life to an excellent sealing job at the deck, preventing
salt water from leaking onto the plate from above.

The assembly was returned to Edson for repair and they replaced the grommet
for a reasonable price. Although IMO the plate is an inferior design due to
it's vulnerability to corrosion, I felt that if properly installed and
sealed it would provide reliable service if inspected occasionally. I
coated it with a Corroseal, a product similar to Ospho, and used copious
amounts of plumber's putty to seal the pedestal at the deck joint. This
approach probably saved about $350 over the cost of replacing it with the
redesigned assembly.

The wire rope assemblies were fabricated locally in St. Petersburg, FL by
SSMR, Inc. who I can recommend without hesitation. The replacements were
exact duplicates of what was removed and the price was under $100.

Due to aforementioned references to loss of steering I also chose to
reroute all cables through the pedestal guard tubes to eliminate the
possibility of fouling the sprocket and chain. Two boats in our club
recently collided after steering failure, ending the season early for them
both, ​​so I was especially sensitive to that.

Hope this helps. Comments welcomed.

Stus-List Fun Sailing Videos

2018-07-25 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Am I the only one who sits up late on week nights sailing vicariously
through others' YouTube  videos? (while usually knocking back a few cold
ones)

My favorites are:

   - S/V Delos - explores cultures of the world aboard a 53' Amel Super
   Miramu 2000 with 6 aboard
   - Abandon Comfort - young couple casting off in pursuit of minimalism
   - Another Adventure - Key West minimalist sailor, series is in it's
   infancy
   - Sailing LaVagabond - couple sailing the world aboard 45' new Otremer
   catamaran donated by the manufacturer
   - Sailing Zingaro - minimalist couple DIY fix-it
   - More daily...


Of course we sail every Thursday and at least every other weekend, so
there's that. More cruising soon.

Anyone else?

Re: Stus-List Fun Sailing Videos

Wow what a bunch of couch surfers! (just kidding) Love seeing C&Cs on the
water and in action!

Forgot to mention  - Sailing Doodles - a C&C 37 from Texas to the Florida
keys and Exhumas. A commercial pilot was grounded for medical reasons so he
bought a boat and went sailing. Apparently quite successfully, although
recently sailing a newer boat for his Pacific crossing.

Wondering if these videos have provided a push for wanna-be skippers to
cast off for long term cruising? Anybody know if there has there been a
spike in activity since YouTube became a thing?

Re: Stus-List 36-1 centerboard pendant

2019-10-02 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Hi Rod,

My setup is a little different, but may be more easily serviced.

I've done this a couple of times last year and had to follow up to get the
dimensions exactly right. We did it in the water - diver worked below. We
sent down a light gauge messenger line and used it to pull in the new
pendant. Easy. Mine is made with dyneema with an eye splice at each end.
Lower shackle is 5/16 and upper is smaller (3/16" I think). Can't remember
the price but it was under $100. Maybe $70. Lasts a coupe of years.

Centerboard pendant
Dyneema12'6"x5/16" LOA (not incl D shackle)
Ocean 3000XG 5/16" 9900 lbs.; std D shackle 5/16", L:29mm, W:17mm (Island

Hope this helps. Call if you need more info.

Thanks Richard - I just joined the museum and sent an email request to the
curator. It appears the museum is operational by their web presence and
active phone number (that went to voicemail). I'll reply and let the group
know what I encounter. Contact info was in the cnc-list archives.

I'm in Tampa and keep Chamamé at Davis Island near downtown. There are 6 or
7 other C&Cs in our club too. Four including Chamamé are very active and
there's also a very nice C&C 40' for sale.

It would be fun to meet y'all. I'll follow your plans and try to attend. If
a date materializes I'll let the others know about it.

Stus-List Masthead Sheave Lubrication

2020-03-25 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Please share drawings or experience with halyard screeching and/or
lubricating masthead sheaves on C&C 36-1 or similar.

Main halyard sheave at the masthead makes a heck of noise when hoisting, I
mean really, it broadcasts a horrific screech to the entire basin as we
raised the main.

Sounds like a giant dull and unlubricated drill bit drilling into stainless
steel. Slowly. In fits and starts. You probably know the sound, almost
every marina has one, I just wish it wasn't us.

Recently went up there to retrieve a spin halyard and it seems that the
sheave spins freely. It looks to be about 1/2" X 3". Anyway, while there
used the edge of a popsicle stick to press in a fair amount of Superlube(R)
synthetic grease and then when it appeared that didn't work followed up
with a liberal amount of spray through a straw, all directed at the center
shaft. Waited a few weeks in hopes that it would work it's way in and cure
the squeak but it hasn't happened so far. Still raising heII when raising.
I already purchased all the 36-1 drawings that Doug could find from the
Marine Museum in Kingston ON, but none of a masthead detail. Similar might
be helpful.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Len - thanks for the quick reply! I left a voicemail at Klacko, their
website says reduced hours and appropriate precautions are in place for the
times. I'll update when I get more info.

I looked at the mast and it has a manufacturer's logo affixed but it is
unreadable. Can you tell if it's the Klacko logo? See link to photo
.

Many thanks!

Follow up on this thread for future readers:
I successfully reached out Klacko and Dan returned my call and left
voicemail to say that several manufacturers supplied masts for that vintage
vessel but that mine was one of the best. He didn't specifically say
whether it was Klacko but added that the sheaves are solid aluminum with an
oilite bearing pressed into the center, and that likely the oilite is worn
out. He said they're reasonably inexpensive and probably locally available
from a rigger.

When inspecting chainplates prior to re-rigging (standing rigging), what
should I know about disassembling the bow chainplate and stemhead casting?
As that area reasonably serviceable? Stainless galling and oxide seizing
notwithstanding.

One chainplate has already been done and looked pristine. Please share
experiences, and tips.

Vessel was retrofitted with wire rope by a previous owner.

Many thanks in advance.

Stus-List Cabinetry Parts - Fiddle Castings

2020-06-08 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Well, here's a situation where I should have asked the question first.

Took the fiddle castings, shown in a picture, to a local powder coating
shop. Today I received a call that the castings are apparently aluminum and
were melted in the process. The shop offers to replace or credit for
damage.

Do we have a source of fiddle castings?

Yep, that's the one. Thanks Ken.

To clarify about the material, I said aluminum but it is likely something
else. Vendor said maybe magnesium would have a lower melting point.

Much appreciation!

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump question

2020-06-24 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Johnson Pumps integrated pump and electronic sensor 32-47260-003 1000 GPH
Ultima Bilge Pump, 12V, works good for me now.

The bilge on my centerboard boat is quite shallow and there is no room for
a switch at the same level as the pump resulting in more than necessary
residual water level  if controled with a typical float switch. This pump
requires careful placement to ensure proper start-stop operation. First
unit ran dry and failed but was replaced under warranty. Works with a
typical 3-wire bilge control panel.

Pump runs dry sometimes when sailing heeled over so occassionally have to
switch to manual.

This freed up the existing rule-matic switch to be used as a high water
sensor wired to a water witch BP500 alarm mounted topside in the cockpit.

Wish I had a diaphragm pump for a really dry bilge but with the A/C running
almost nonstop here in Florida, and draining condensate into the bilge,
it's not a likely solution.

Stus-List Prop Shaft Strut - Removal, Alignment, and Re-bedding - C&C 36-1 KCB

2018-11-28 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Prop shaft strut is weeping around the nuts inside the hull and externally
the fairing shows cracks around the perimeter of the strut base although it
doesn't feel loose. No slop in the Cutlass bearing. She's on the hard for
bottom job and driveline maintenance. I'm interested in your thoughts on
how best to proceed to remedy the strut mount leak and cracks in the
fairing.

>From the few posts I have found here, it seems the struts are aligned and
bedded onto a hard substrate and that the mounting holes were drilled with
a close fit. That said, it seems that to remount the strut all that is
required is to remove the fairing material and then simply remove and
replace, seal, and re-fair.

My questions are:
1.) How best to assess whether comprehensive strut alignment check is
necessary i.e., laser, scope, yadda-yadda? I'm thinking that if the shaft
slides easily through the remounted strut and into center of the shaft log
and seal, and visually appears dead on center through all the above, than I
can proceed with the engine alignment. If not what, call a pro? I have more
time than money, so DIY work is preferred.

2.) How significant is hull flex on these boats while on the hard? I plan
final engine alignment after launch, but could loading on the yard stands
cause strut alignment to appear skewed? BTW, I'm working with an
independent Yanmar mechanic for the engine mounts and alignment.

2.) What material for fairing and sealing the strut bed? What's the method
of application?

The prop is a folding Martec two-blade RH17DX10P-3 Eliptec with 4" of
clearance to the hull; found the center pin broken on one end. It's back at
Martec for refurb. The motor mounts were DF2205-2 going back with OE Yanmar
mounts. While under way, the vibration caused the sail locker lid to sound
like rubber marbles in a blender at a frequency that was probably 2X prop
speed. It seemed like a lot of vibration but there was no change since I
purchased the boat in June '17, and after about a hundred hours of
motoring. Shaft seal is a PYI PSS that is getting a new maintenance kit,
and of course, the strut a new cutlass bearing.

Please share your thoughts if you have been through this or something
similar. All help is appreciated.

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft Strut - Removal, Alignment, and Re-bedding - C&C 36-1 KCB

2018-12-08 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Update.

Shaft was riding hard against the the inside of the packless seal's carbon
stator and hard against the  forward end of the cutless bearing.This all
makes sense, since the shaft has always been hard to turn by hand and is
reflected in the shaft wear patterns.

Local prop shop condemned the propeller shaft and coupling, supplied new
replacements, and installed a new cutless bearing in the strut.

Martec two-blade folding prop is completely serviced and is on it's way
back.

Reassembly: When I test fitted the strut and shaft, the shaft exits the log
too high and to starboard proving the misalignment. Further examination of
the packless seal stator confirms that the shaft was riding in that area. I
ordered a new one (whole packless seal, not just a kit)  too. The face was
also scored and it was worn off-center.

Looks like I'll be re-bedding the strut with better alignment. The plan is
to assemble the shaft and the strut and raise it into position, then shim
the shaft temporarily into the center of the log, to offset the shaft
weight. Then raise the strut to it's existing bed to see which corner makes
contact first and use that one (1) screw for general location for the next
step. Then Ill prepare the bed with thickened epoxy and prepare the strut
with a release agent (or cellophane?). I'll raise the strut until the base
makes contact in the area where that one (1) screw is located and support
it there with only slightly more pressure than it's own weight. I'll fill
the three (3) remaining screw holes with epoxy and let it all set up.
After the epoxy has cured, I'll re-drill the remaining screw holes then
re-bed the whole shebang with sealant.

Concurrently the rudder is almost out to refurbish bearings. Mine has the
bronze thrust plate just under the helmsman's seat in the cockpit but
that's a different thread!

Any shared experience is always welcomed!

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft Strut - Removal, Alignment, and Re-bedding - C&C 36-1 KCB

2019-01-16 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Looking for a lead on a replacement prop shaft strut for this boat. I think
the strut spec numbers I'm looking for are shaft angle, aft drop, and
offset and of course, a vendor lead would help too.

It appears that the original strut has been replaced with one that is too
long, among other things.

The strut bed was ground down to 1/4" at the thinnest part aft, and the
angle seems wrong because the bed is deeper aft than forward by more than
an eighth of an inch. Also the base of the strut had been planed at an
angle, thinner forward. And it still didn't fit!  The center-line of the
strut bearing is still about 3/8" lower than the center-line of the log.
When I bolt it all up the packless seal isn't centered on the shaft. I'm
thinking it's time to start with a spec strut, or something close, and
build the bed to fit. Or just run it; I'm not sure.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Mechanic says shaft to engine alignment is achievable but the issue is
that, with the strut too long, the shaft is not parallel to the log and so
dripless packing alignment is skewed.

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft Strut - Removal, Alignment, and Re-bedding - C&C 36-1 KCB

2019-01-23 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Thanks for the leads on this repair. Still going down the rabbit hole...

Buck Algonquin, who is now Hydrasearch Recreational, can't match it up or
quote custom fabrication at this time. Quote requests are still out to
Miller's Island (foundry) and Algonac Marine Castings. May have better
success with a casting number and so have sent a request to 36 owners for
help. I know there's a lot of boats on the hard up north so maybe it
wouldn't be too much trouble for someone to grab a casting number. Still
scouring the internet for salvers who may have a used one on the shelf.

Short of that it looks like, I'll be forced to have the existing strut cut
and welded by the local prop shop, it's about 3/4" too long. Not sure of
the reliability of a welded strut.

Any thoughts or ideas on a solution ( or issues with cut/weld solution) are
appreciated. I'll share the results when I get them.

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft Strut - Removal, Alignment, and Re-bedding - C&C 36-1 KCB

2019-01-24 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
Many thanks for your consideration and for your comments.

I have heard from several owners C&C 36's (with my exact boat model) and
from their photos have determined that the installed strut is likely the
one supplied by C&C from the factory and after technical consultation, I
think that the alignment issue can be mitigated with careful installation
of the existing parts.

Conversation with tech support at PYI about mounting tolerances of the PSS
dripless packing leads me to believe that, with what now amounts to shaft
log misalignment, suitable installation can be achieved by care in mounting
the bellows of the dripless packing. *In the end, engine/prop shaft/strut &
cutless bearing alignment have no issues,* and the angle of the shaft log
and it's effect on the shaft seal can be accommodated by tilted mounting of
the bellows, per their instructions. Their support tech even went on to say
that in more extreme cases, usually involving much higher RPMs, horsepower,
and misalignment, that PYI supplies over bored carbon blocks to accommodate
even higher mounting tolerances. Certainly the one I removed from service
was in a much worse situation and was working fine.

Perfect? No. Operationally suitable, reliable, and serviceable? Probably.

I really wanna go sailing...

Stus-List Corroded Centerboard Pendant Tube 1981 36-1

2022-03-29 Thread Tim Rutherford via CnC-List
 Looking for experience on procurement and replacement of the Centerboard
Pendant Tube (or whatever it's called) on 1981 C&C 36-1. This one shows
signs of corrosion and pinhole weeping on the aft facing part of the lower
radius. Is this common?

Going through the list of sources for drawings (Marine Museum, South Shore
Yachts) as a starting point. Likely will have a replacement fabricated
locally and schedule haul out once materials and dimensions are known.

Vessel: 1981 C&C 36-1 KCB
HIN: ZCC36244M81H (36-1 #244)
C&C Design Drawings Prefix: 76-6-NN

Great idea for glowsticks in the cooler!

Have had some success using fluorescent flagging tape tell-tales with UV
flashlight blacklights for nighttime sailing.

Used oversized and temporarily attached with a small piece of duct tape.
Illuminate with the battery powered handheld UV flashlight(s). Not all
flagging tape colors will fluoresce so check before buying. Sourced at Home
Depot for the tape, Amazon for the UV flashlight blacklight, or Google
"fluorescent flagging tape" and "UV flashlight blacklight".

We set a baseline for trim by illuminating the fluorescent tell-tales, and
we then use feel, heel, and wind instruments to maintain course,
occasionally re-checking the tell-tales for confirmation.

Stus-List Galley/Nav Drawer Parts Source

Looking for a source of the parts to repair a drawer from the Nav Station,
specifically the plastic corner pieces that join the front to the sides.

Photos linked below:
Photo 1 - the corner piece that is not broken, I need a piece like this on
the other side

Photo 2 - back corner

Photo 3 - drawer overview

Photo 4 - drawer construction materials


PSA - if you put too much hardware in a drawer and the boat heels in heavy
seas, it can all slide at once and break out the front of the drawer and
spill everything out onto the cabin sole. /end PSA

Cheers y'all. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
