Re: Stus-List C&C 35-3 Keel Joint

I had the keel dropped, a number of years ago. There was a huge void around the forward keel bolt, and terribly smelly water came out of the keel bolt hole. The yard ground the stub and the top of the keel, epoxied the two together, filled the void with epoxy and wrapped the joint with glass. No

Hi Peter, You nailed it pretty well. You are expected to maintain to standard of when it was built. Thus, if you add a modern convenience it should be to the standard at that time, and maintained accordingly. In the pressure vessel world costly repair decisions often comes down to "code of

I've said this before and I'll say it again... It's only called the C$C smile because C&C made so many boats, most of which are still active and sailing. Many boats with swept fin keels develop a crack on the leading edge for a few reasons. Hitting something. Storage with the weight on the

Thanks for the advice guys. A little history on the keel... I went on the list serve with the original problem a few years ago. In the first year by mid season I had a 20 gallon a day leak flooding up through the stringer behind the aft most keel boat. I limped from Milwaukee back to Chicago

Re: Stus-List C&C 35-3 Keel Joint

Erik, The keel joint on the 35-3 can be a pain. The “C&C Smile” as it is known, often appears as the hull to keel joint opens up. Many times this is only a cosmetic issue. I have removed and replaced the keel on my boat once in an attempt to cure this problem. It has worked well. The so

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft

If I had to do it again, and if you're traveling internationally, I'd spring the bucks for an isolation transformer. I didn't get one at the time as they were around 400 bucks, but I've spent 5X that replacing blown electrical stuff caused by 3rd world marina electrical work. Wal you wrote:

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft

It is a bit of a ‘grey area’ though, isn’t it? Typically an insurer will look at a surveyor’s report and make the surveyor’s recommendations a requirement of the insurance, with a timeline to complete the required work. I’m not sure what US Coast Guard regs say, but Transport Canada says that

The only thing that fails the survey is the mortgage company saying, "We're not going to finance because of the loan to value ratio." Every boat has comments and the insurance policy has a clause which dictates something to the effect of, "You will get all of the critical comments in the survey re

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft

I believe that ABYC only governs the practice of boat builders and boat repair contractors. I don't believe there is any requirement that our old boats have to be brought up to the current ABYC standards (which are always being improved). A survey done on your boat may recommend that something

For ABYC compliance it must be failsafe or with integral / external status monitoring for a failure. All DIY solutions would also not comply to the 'general requirements' of the GI ABYC section. Now whether this is highlighted during survey and any liabilities but noncompliance ... I leave to oth

No issues with my 35-3 after six years. There are two other 35-3's in the yard I'm in. One looks fine like ours and the other is a bulging, splitting mess. We have had work done to replace tabbing in the keel sump - have a look around the sump to determine if there's anything flexing there. Ti
