Re: Stus-List Thru Hull leaking from handle / cylinder

I agree 100% with Jim. It's an old school design but still completely serviceable. Gas utilities still install tapered plug valves today for the shutoff on your gas service. Eric On Mon, May 6, 2019 at 9:41 PM Jim Watts via CnC-List wrote: > That looks pretty much like mine. The bad ones I re

Joe, Yes, Corsair had a stainless collar above the Delrin as well. That is one of the reasons that I never changed it.  There was one set screw that I couldn't get to very easily and, of course, it wouldn't come out with an allen wrench so I left it until we broke the boat.  It still had drie

UV is a bad thing. I'll figure something out. I have a rubber washer on top of my hydraulic backstay adjuster to protect the top seal. Dennis C. On Wed, May 8, 2019 at 3:37 PM Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > The stainless collar I have on the shaft above my bear

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: 35-1 Upper rudder bearing modification

The stainless collar I have on the shaft above my bearing keeps sun off the area right next to the shaft. If the hole gets too big it will be from wear, not UV. Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, Ma

Re: Stus-List 35-1 Upper rudder bearing modification

Neil, Yeah, I knew Delrin wasn't the best. Considered UHMW, but the Delrin was convenient. Regardless of the disc, I see having a sleeve bearing set in the disc that I can easily change as an advantage. Would be easier to swap the bearing than to refabricate the disc with the 6 bolt holes and t

Re: Stus-List 35-1 Upper rudder bearing modification

Dennis, I'm quite interested as I'm getting a bit of slop on the rudder stock as well. One thought:  I like your last suggestion of a plastic bearing instead of bronze.  Bronze, while softer than stainless for sure, could potentially cause some wear on the stock, and it might be better to r

Re: Stus-List 35-1 Upper rudder bearing modification

Dennis, I think your problem is accelerated by UV degradation.  Delrin isn't all that good in UV exposure.  I would suggest using bearing grade PEEK but that is a lot of overkill.  You may gain some advantage by making a sunbrella cover for it (or just replace it every 7 years). I never ende

Stus-List 35-1 Upper rudder bearing modification

OK, I just replaced Touche's upper rudder bearing for the third time in 20 years. It gets a little sloppy with use. It's a simple Delrin disc. I had a few made by a plastics machine shop years ago so it's a simple task to replace it. I've been thinking about beefing up this bearing for years.

Re: Stus-List Drawer hole trim

Probably not the cheapest but try finding a wood turner...or just buy a small lathe. The grommets are pretty simple to make. When you do the job yourself the tools are free right? https://www.turningforprofit.com/turning-for-the-home-office-wooden-grommets/ Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37
