Bingo, saddle clamp in locker. Couldn't believe it when I first saw it, seems
crude. Mine is fairly tight and always left me wondering if two (each less
tight) would be preferable. Can't help thinking there's got to be a better
way

Lee,
I have a small clamp over my throttle cable that keeps it from slipping. It
needs a tweak every couple years, but is very reliable and cheap.

Yeah, sounds like it might have been getting to that point. Maybe better
for it to fail on a hoist than underway in heavy air, too.
In my case, amazingly, it turned out the pole was fixable with a fiberglass
collar around the break. The owner was surprisingly calm about the whole
thing. Apparen
Ouch is right :) That was about a $500 lesson, but who knows how much longer a
44-year old extruded plastic luff support system would have lasted anyway. It
had some other visible deterioration. But probably not as expensive a lesson as
replacing a carbon fiber spin pole :)
Cheers,
Randy

I tried adjusting the friction screw on our 30-2 edson and resorted to
bungee after not finding the sweet spot...if there is one.
- Without the bungee, the throttle settles back to about 2400rpm, but
doesn't go lower than that.

A flexible panel like this looks like it will fit. To add to the genasun
recommendations. Most controllers require a solar panel with an output
voltage greater than that of the battery it is charging. Genasun makes an

We sleep head aft. I was hesitant too but it doesn't really seem to have
made much difference. The foam is squishy enough that your head room stays
pretty much the same. The original foam is pretty hard by comparison. As

There should be a saddle clamp on the throttle cable inside the STBD cockpit
locker, near the companionway. Tighten it down to provide more resistance in
the cable. I have seen several C&C 33ii boats with this and I know the tartan
35 has the same config. I suspect this was an Edson solution.___

Do you sleep head aft or forward? We sleep head aft and I would be a little
hesitant to lose much more vertical clearance with a 7"er.

Lee,
The solution Edson came up with to overcome the return spring on the throttle
rack is to drill and tap a ¼”x20 hole in the engine control boss (on model 816
and 870 controllers) and install a set screw that bears down on the delrin
sleeve that the throttle lever shaft rides through. This
My 35-3 (1983) Edson pedestal contains a bolt that applies pressure on the part
of the throttle lever inside the pedestal. I did away with an external cable
clamp as the clamp had over time broken the cable outer sleeve causing the
cable to rust up and jam. The downside to the bolt in the pedest
There should be a little clamp on the cable - can be tightened which
squeezes the cable and keeps it from falling.

I've been using a bungee cord to hold my throttle for the entire 31 years I've
owned my boat. It's simple and reliable!

Having an issue with my throttle cable not staying at RPM above 2,000. It
falls right after I let go. I can set it higher when moving it at the
engine, but not at the helm. How does one adjust the cable on a 1985 C&C
33-2? Or is there a way to oil the cable? PO used a bungee cord to hold
it at
THANK YOU all for saving me much research. A Genesun controller it will be.
Now I need to figure out if the companionway is the way to go...

I agree completely with the benefit of Genusun controllers. I have 3 GV-10's.
Also, Fred is absolutely correct about the very high voltage produces by solar
panels.

David,
It is prudent.
I managed to kill my battery with a 10 W panel (to a 80 Ah battery).
A good controller is is worth every penny (it would save your batteries, so
that they would last longer).
A Genasun GV 4 (or GV-5) would fit the bill (at $65 (or $75) – and those are

Strongly recommend a Genasun controller. They make a 5 amp model that
will fill the bill. Genasun uses all ceramic capacitors which are more
reliable, especially in harsh environments. The Genasun is a true MPPT

David — you need a controller! The open-output voltage under full sunlight of
many panels is too high for your batteries; and if you get an MPPT controller,
you’ll get good charging even under less-than ideal sunlight conditions, where

little shaded area.

David,
A word of caution keeping it on your companionway hatch — the slightest shadow,
like from your boom, will cut the effectiveness of the panel to close to zip. I
have mine there, but if I was to do it again, I’d find a way to mount it on the

Just to verify, it seems at 50 watts and a 400 amp battery capacity, I will not
need a controller. Or is t prudent to have one anyway...

I built an adjustable frame for mine from PVC pipe for about $15. This allows
it to more directly face the sun and the frame collapses so I can store it,
with the panel attached, below.
FWIW--it took less than an hour to build and glue the frame. Go the idea from a
you tube video.

It should not matter. How it should be depends more on the geometry of the sail
and how you attach the tack to the boom and where is your first slider. I
cannot imagine 1/2 inch would matter anyway.
