We have a pair of these 'toe rail folding cleats' as well. Easy to install, easy to use .and you can use bigger lines with these that might be a tight fit in the toe rail. Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S. On 2013/07/05 1:43 PM, Paul Fountain wrote: We have these on Perceptio

On my way north from Bermuda to Halifax one April with a C&C designed Baltic 51, our steering cable broke during the second of the three gales we had that passage. Couldn't fix it so we had to steer using the emergency tiller. As with our boats, the lever arm was small but we rigged tackles and

Re: Stus-List Emergency Tiller for C&C 34

I can tell you how the tiller attaches on my 38, and I would say the phrase "difficult to steer" would be an understatement. The emergency tiller for my 38 is an aluminum tube bent into roughly the shape of a capital L about 4 feet long, with a collar on the end of the short leg that has a square

Brian, We once had a steering cable snap on our 1978 C&C 34 (the previous Enterprise) and we had to use the emergency tiller. The boat was practically impossible to steer, especially under power with the pressure of the prop wash. We ended up using some line and some blocks on the toe rail t

I have some Johnson folding cleats on my C&C 33 toe rails. Due to the shape of our toe rail these cleats have a tendency to wriggle even when tightly bolted.

A good way to loosen bolts torqued very tight is an impact driver. Similar in appearance to an electric drill, and exert a strong force for a brief time. They will loosen almost anything. They are not expensive, and often are even available for rental from auto parts houses or rental agen

Re: Stus-List where to secure spring lines

If you use snubbers on your bow and stern lines, it will lessen the shock when the boat bounces around. I use them, but none on the spring line, as there is enough stretch in the three-strand nylon I'm using. The spring line on my boat is tied from the dock cleat to the stern mooring line cleat.
