Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

Fwiw, Our prop shaft is on center but there is the usual prop walk caused by the downward angle of the shaft. I simply get the boat steering straight before setting the autohelm to hold course. That means the wheel will be slightly to one side, not much, maybe a third of a spoke. Once she is

I spritz with 409 and run a garden hose into the bilge. Bilge pump pumps it out. Maybe not particularly environmental. I've found dawn or even the eco-dawn to work pretty well too. Make a soapy solution and spritz away. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Mon, Sep 16, 2019,

Stus-List Bilge cleaner

Hi Fred, I just pour some of Starbrite's cleaner in my sump. Works well. I tend to mostly use Starbrite stuff for cleaning these days. I found that their products typically perform much better than brand X and are often cheaper. It's on sale 40% off at West right now. https://www.westmarine.c

Simple Green is pretty effective too. Elbow Grease is going to be the most effective option though. Jeff Helsdingen C&C 35 mk 1 Caposhi #54 Port Stanley On On Mon., Sep. 16, 2019, 4:26 p.m. David Risch via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Dawn…cuts the grease and then a bit of a soak

So I have Barrient 32ST winches for my primaries. They are roughly equivalent to a modern Harken 60ST. The Harken is rated for 8mm to 16mm line. I checked the performance of 8mm line in the self-tailer of my 32ST and found it completely ineffective. I tried the 12mm Sta-Set X which I had been u

Thank-you Rob. I'm just glad to know I didn't make any mistakes with re-assembly. You built an amazing boat and I truly love it. So far all of the information I've gathered from you, and this list since I've started reading it has been incredible. There's a sinking feeling one gets when you discov

My boat does this. Airplanes do it too – this is just how single engine prop vehicles work unless the shaft is offset. Joe Coquina ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated. If you

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

The engine and Propeller are installed at an angle, because the rotation of the prop will kick the boat to one side. The angle is an effort to work against that to balance it out. That decision is made when building the first hull of that model and you can imagine that the engine and propeller

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

Yes, my 35 does this also, and with the larger prop and longer prop shat placing it closer to the rudder, it is quite pronounced. I use the friction knob on the pedestal to add some friction so I don't have to always hold the wheel so tight. It definitely increases with speed, so that my wimpy auto

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

Thanks everyone - this definitely settles the issue for me. I had a feeling the pull was there before so I'm not totally alarmed by the effect, and I will certainly try the immediate throttle-down to test the concept. I imagine it will behave as expected - not sure why I didn't think of that yester

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

For one thing the offset shaft makes it so that you can get the shaft out without pulling the rudder. This is a very nice feature I took advantage of when installing a shaft seal last year. On the other hand my 34 definitely does pull a bit when motoring. I try to motor as little as possible

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

Mine does the same thing. You should find that the pull is proportional to the engine rpm and boat speed. To test, you can accelerate to hull speed under engine power and then quickly throttle down to idle and shift to neutral. The pull should go away. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Sol

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

A lot of C&Cs (including my 42 and my prior 34) have the shaft offset just a bit to cause what you’re describing. Perhaps Rob can explain why they did that. From: Dan via CnC-List Sent: Monday, September 16, 2019 11:20 AM To: CNC boat owners, cnc-list Cc: Dan Subject: Stus-List New Rudder Ste

Re: Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

The "tugging" was most likely there. You didn't notice it far a couple of reasons.1. With the rudder going back in, the shaft was lubed, and moves freely now.2. After all the work that was done. You are more critical as to the steering.3. Under power the prop blades will cause the water to pulse

Stus-List New Rudder Steering Tugging

Hi all, So I recently rebuilt my rudder and re-installed it on Breakaweigh. We took the boat out yesterday and I noticed when under diesel power that the wheel is lightly tugging to the port side. I'm not entirely sure if it did that before or if this is a new tugging. If I were to completely let g
