Re: Stus-List Mechanical shaft seal options

I would vote for the PIY Dripless. It works and there is nothing like a dry bilge. You don’t need to burp it ever (I have the vented version). The catastrophic failure is as probable as with the normal stuffing box (the hose connecting the logshaft and the seal can break regardless of type (if y

Re: Stus-List Changing seacock values

David, When I bought my 35-1 the raw water thru hull valve was flopping around (boat was on the hard).  The original installation had just a small piece of plywood between the flange and the inside of the hull which came loose.  I epoxied a piece of 1/2" thick McMaster Carr g-glass on the ins

Re: Stus-List Changing seacock values

Our 1970 Redwing 35 (Hull #7) had gate valves for the cockpit scuppers.  I never planned to close the cockpit scuppers so I made sure that I had wooden plugs available in the event of a hose failure.  Our new(er) C&C 35-3 has proper seacocks.  I still don't close the scupper seacocks and still

Re: Stus-List Mechanical shaft seal options

I have had both stuffing boxes and dripless on both of my C&C's.  I just changed over our C&C 35-3 to a dripless and would not go back.  Both a standard stuffing box and dripless have the same basic weaknesses being the hose. My last years of Engineering was in the Aerospace Hydraulics busines

Re: Stus-List Changing seacock values

Regardless of the type, you should always have some method of plugging a leak or broken valve. I have the soft Wood cones near each thru-hull as a safety matter. Neil 1982 C&C 32, FoxFire Rock Hall, MD Neil Andersen 20691 Jamieson Rd Rock Hall, MD 21661 From:

Re: Stus-List Changing seacock values

David, When I did the same job on my 75 25 Mk 1 many years ago, I simply unscrewed the gate valves from the through hulls and brought the valve with me to my marine retailer and matched the threads to reinstall the new valves.. Since most through hulls are bonded to the hull using some impenetrab

Here is an interesting seal: http://www.duramaxmarine.com/shaft-seal.htm Click on the PDF at the bottom of the page for detailed info. The device has two discs like on the PSS, but uses a mechanical spring to maintain pressure between the two.

Re: Stus-List Force 10 Stove Parts?

Sure Marine rocks! Is Force 10 gone? I talked with them a few years ago and they requested that I order parts from Sure Marine. At that time Sure ordered regularly but wanted to minimize freight by ordering in truckload quantity. It took longer unless you agreed to shipping and handling.

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Changing seacock values

Most thru-hulls have little tabs inside so the right-size screwdriver or bar stock will keep them from rotating IIRC. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David Morris via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, December 1

Stus-List Changing seacock values

While she's on the hard, I plan to replace the seacock gate valves with ball values on our '75 C&C 30 MK1. Can anyone offer the benefit of experience in doing so? Are there tricks to stabilizing the through-hull fitting while unscrewing the old valves? Is it best to replace the entire through-hull

I’d check with Sure Marine in Seattle. They are likely to have stove parts, or know where you might want to look for them. https://www.suremarineservice.com/ Good luck, Lee ___ Lee Youngblood & Kathleen Davis s/

Re: Stus-List Mechanical shaft seal options

I second David’s comment. I had a dripless on my first boat and stuffing box on current boat. The only thing I have had to do with my stuffing box since repacking 5 years ago is tighten it slightly twice. It is less effort than a dripless (no burping) and has much less (zero?) possibility of a

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Mechanical shaft seal options

Do NOT use the Tides Marine seal. Huge PITA if it leaks. I have the PYI carbon face seal, but I would be tempted to use a traditional stuffing box with Teflon tape if I could. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Beh

Alright folks, I'm looking for thoughts on a replacement for my PYI dripless shaft seal. It has worked fine and I'm not afraid to stick with it but I'm looking for possible options or improvements. I've heard of Tides Marine making one and Sailor Sam's sells 4 different designs by the name Last D

Re: Stus-List Force 10 Stove Parts?

Kuuma might be as close as you get, as Force 10 sold their grill business. I did some digging on this last summer, but can’t remember who they sold the remnants to, but I think Kuuma makes most everyone else’s controls. I’ve been trying to get an older Force 10 working with a new control withou
