Stus-List Folding prop

This was my first season with Celtic Fire a C & C 35' MK III sailing on Lake Ontario. I have a folding prop Prop (Flexofold 2 blade 16 R). That does not open up all the way when the boat is moving, when this happens it creates a lot of vibration. This problem does not happen when I leave the do

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolts

Thanks. I forgot to mention tightening the keel bolts is NOT done in the water! Does anyone know if the 35 MK I and II keel stub is glassed on after the fact or molded as part of the hull? Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com Coquina C&C 35 MK I -Original Message- From: CnC-List [mailto:cn

Re: Stus-List Wet / Dry Vac recommendations?

I bot a Sears a couple years ago, and I luv it. Well, maybe I’m getting carried away, but I have tried Sharks, larger shop vacs, but this one is perfect. I tried to find it on their site, to no avail, but they may still have it. It was one of the smallest, maybe 2 or 2 .5 gal. It has a little

Re: Stus-List Wet / Dry Vac recommendations?

The filter bags are a little pricey, but completely worth it. They also make it easy to convert back and forth from wet to dry vac. The availability of filter bags for models under consideration would be a high priority for me. Bill Bina On 11

Re: Stus-List Wet / Dry Vac recommendations?

I have several Home Despot purchased (+- $50) Rigid 5 or 6 gal shop vacs in use onboard during our deck restoration. We add the extra dust bag to protect the filters and motor from fiberglass dust. The oldest one is now over 2 years old and still running but making more noise. Martin Calypso

Re: Stus-List Engine Seacock for a C&C 44 1987

I don’t know the manufacturer, but a seacock is pretty much a seacock. You can buy a bronze one made by Groco or marlon made by Forespar. There are other manufacturers as well. Baically you need to know either the thread size on the thru hull, or the size of the hose connected to the seacock. W

Get one with a built in pump. They are great for removing water without having to lift a heavy / full vacuum cleaner. ~~~_/)~~ On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 1:57 PM, George Cone via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Go to Home depot, they have a homer that fits on the top of a stand

Go to Home depot, they have a homer that fits on the top of a standard plastic bucket (you just but the power head part) , cheap, moderately powerful, use any bucket you normally have on the boat, good size - fits lots of places George C&C 40 From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

My previous owner grounded very hard. When I bought the boat I ground off the slathered on repair and found the core resin in front of the stub had shattered. Because it was wet and then froze the floor of the head cracked and heaved. I took the stub back to the first keel bolt and then rebuilt

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

If you are pretty sure the crack is actually allowing water in, you might need to have the keel off and do some significant work :( I just fixed a boat with this issue, but the crack was above the keel and thus we had access. The MK I and MK II keel stub is a pretty strong structure, so I would

Bill: You will get different advice on this issue, as you have noticed. I am no expert, but: 1. there should not be cracks in the bilge sump between the keel bolts, and 2. if there are cracks there, and you are quite confident that they are leaking water, get it checked out by a knowledgeabl

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Yes!! this is why i am asking. So far the keel bolts look good i.e. no water leaking around them. Sailing on the peg has got to be about as close to offshore as you can get!! +40 and -40 !! Cheers, Bill > On Nov 26, 2014, at 9:45 AM, Brent Driedger via CnC-List > wrote: > > Keel seepage woul

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Hi Joe, i watched the water come in through the small cracks in the bilge sump. I have a dripless shaft seal and everything else looks dry, however I do get water from the mast but I vacuumed that out when I cleaned the bilge. Hopefully the thru-hulls are OK so far so good. Cheers, Bill > On No

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Thanks for the info, when I am on the hard next I will try this. I am certain is it coming from the small cracks from visual observations. I wonder if Wally would like to leave the sunny south and make a trip up to the frozen north for a little hull repair work ;-) Cheers, Bill > On Nov 26, 2014

That's exactly why I got my boat checked by a surveyor with lots of CnC experience once I realized fixing my bilge leak wasn't just a matter of tightening the keel bolts. He figured that the starboard side of the keel stub had delaminated from the internal filler. Mike Atacama CnC 33 Mk ii Tor

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Keel seepage would concern me particularly in salt water. Not just the annoyance factor but the thought of anaerobic corrosion of the stainless keel bolts. If this has been going on for some time I'd be inclined to drop the keel, inspect the bolts and do a Wally style re-bed. It's expensive an

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

If it rains I get MORE than ½ cup per day. I suspect you have cracks in the interior gelcoat and water getting in around the keel bolts, rain, stuffing box leakage, and other random sources of water. Tightening the keel bolts next time the boat is out of the water is easy enough. If you actually
