Stus-List MOB recovery procedures

Racing season is ramping up.  Time to discuss MOB procedures.  This ought to be interesting. Here's a couple of reference sites.  Note the different procedures and the advantages of each.

Good suggestion from Rich.  Even a new impeller can spin.  Also, there may be a suction leak on the intake side of the pump.  Disconnect the discharge at the pump.  Start the engine and check for flow there.  (It won't hurt the engine to run a couple minutes with no water flow.)  Try to stop t

Suggest checking the raw water pump impellor to make sure the bronze insert is not spinning inside the rubber impellor. This can happen with a new or old unit and can fool you in an inspection as the rubber vanes may look perfect. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax On 2013-05-23, at 22:00, "Don

Re: Stus-List Theoretical Hull Speed - heel vs waterline

Not necessarily true.  Depends on the boat's hull shape.  For beamy boats perhaps but for narrower IOR designs more heel means more waterline and thus more speed...up to a point.  Excess heel may result in a slower boat as the keel loses its effectiveness and as the midships buoyancy mat result

Re: Stus-List 35-3 Leak

My trick with finding leaks, etc. is to use washable markers (like you give kids). The line will wash away or show runs where the water is coming from. I have put such a line along my deck/hull joint (where it can't be seen without looking for it). It has been a great help to find where to tighte

Remove the inspection panel above the nav station, and lay a paper towel under any wiring in the area as far forward of the inspection panel as you can reach. The leak can be anywhere forward of where it appears, before it works its way to where you think it might be. The leak could be from the

Rick, if the Balto Light race doesn't REQUIRE a PHRF certificate, your rating is 174 (all 30-1's on the Chesapeake are rated 174). If they require a certificate as part of the entry, you need to join CBYRA and then apply to PHRF of the Chesapeake. You will be out about $100 or so. And it will st

To get a rating you need to go to: http://www.phrfchesbay.org/bin/main.php They will assign a sail number which needs to go on both sides of all sails. Sailrite sells them for about $2. each. You'll need 8 inch high numbers (I think) Rick On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 1:41 PM, rick bushie wrote: >

Second the thought. I left my backstay tension on hard for a couple of months, and spent a heck of a lot of time trying to track down a leak that was coming down on the galley counter. Then I noticed that one of the light fixtures over the counter was full of water and badly corroded; so I deduced
