Re: Stus-List Backstay tension

I have the same original unit as Jake. The fluid apparently had never been changed. It was like molasses instead of looking like vegetable oil. It would have been cheaper to replace it, but I didn't know that going in, so I had it all flushed and rebuilt. If your hydraulic backstay has never be

Re: Stus-List Backstay tension

Jake My Navtec adjuster is probably an older unit than what you have. It came to me with the boat so I am guessing it is probably around 15 or more years old. It is an integral unit and the gage and knob for the relief valve are attached on opposite sides near the base of the square looking

Joel, That sounds like it. A stainless mesh screen in a small plastic container, held together by a single screw. They don't seal well and tend to suck air. I've replaced the one in the head already (the one for the shower sump). Jake From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.c

Re: Stus-List Backstay tension

Dwight, If you Navtec gauge is like mine (in a panel), it probably reads direct pressure, not the pressure exerted on the backstay. They would be the same if the piston area was 1 sq. inch, but otherwise the pressure times the piston area will give you the tension on the backstay. Jake

Stus-List Rudder - Hi moisture readings

Hello, Listers, My moisture meter is giving very high reading on the rudder of my '91 C&C30MKII . Usually, I'll drill a hole in the bottom at annual haul-out in order to let it drain. For the past couple of years, I've seen no sea water exit the drilled hole.How concerned should I be with t

Also, for many of these IP cameras you need a static IP number (or dynamic DNS) assigned to the camera in order to be able to access it via the Web; unless the router is set up properly at the location where you're using the camera, it might not allow you to access it. Fred Street -- Minneapoli

I will take a look today and see if there is one there as well. I think when a PO put in the port water tank they may have relocated the filter to serve both. There are a couple of large holes in the base of the cabinet, currently unoccupied. On 26 November 2012 03:35, Jake Brodersen wrote: >

Chuck Alianna is ancient and therefore has wire rigging, the backstay, forestay and upper shrouds are 1x19, 9/32 which has a breaking strength around 1 lbs. Surprisingly my rather inexpensive Loos tension gage gives readings that are very close (+/- 100 lbs) to what the gage on my Navtec h

My boat is set up with both tanks for fresh, each tank has a shutoff and filter close to it... whereas your forward tank is black water I'd guess they would not bother make a loop up in the cupboard, and put the filter under the sink instead. Assuming Joel's is set up as yours, then yes - no
