Re: Stus-List Carbon Fiber Whisker Pole

As long as you keep the clear coat on, and protected, you should be good. My pole peeled a little, and I got some clear coat, but never got around to re-Applying it. I don’t think it will normally peel, unless it is nicked, then it starts. If you touch it up right away, you can nip it in the b

Re: Stus-List Carbon Fiber Whisker Pole

I have used carbon fiber poles (spin and whisper) for many years mostly for local  racing. They are light enough to handle myself, although my crew usually do the ‘handling’.  I/they tie them up below with bungee cords to the interior ‘grab rails’ on the cabin ceiling, using the forward bulkhead

Re: Stus-List Carbon Fiber Whisker Pole

Vinyl wrap would likely work - more resilient than paint but also still very light and unobtrusive. If you want to get fancy get it done at a sign/decal company and you could add graphics or boat name. Cheap option would be to wrap whole pole in 2"-3" wide viny

Re: Stus-List Carbon Fiber Whisker Pole

Richard, I have a carbon spin pole. I wound up having a cover made by Harken Canvas to my measurements. As I recall the cost was pretty reasonable. They are local to me, but I know they will ship as well. My reasoning was that the paint would get beat up quickly and I did not want to deal w

Re: Stus-List Carbon Fiber Whisker Pole

12 ft long would fit inside when you're away from the boat? Keep the packaging and keep it in that? Get some 4" PVC or ABS pipe and make up a tube with ends to store it under the dock? Krylon spray paint, sticks to anything and dries in 15 minutes. FlexSeal clear might add some nice grip. T

When replacing the original ribbed hose or even drain hose I use the reinforced clear vinyl beverage hose. It’s strong, flexible enough and will be easier to source too. Len Sent from my iPad ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your con

Re: Stus-List Water fill hose question

The piece that I'm interested in is only 3 or 4 feet. However, C&C used the same stuff for the bilge hoses, so I may replace them while I'm at it (depending on cost). I'll take a picture and e-mail Rob at South Shore. Good suggestion, Doug. Thanks. From: CnC-List On Behalf Of David Risch

Listers: I need to replace some old 1 1/2" water hose that runs from the deck fill to the tank (probably about three or four feet). The hose is ribbed on the outside, very flexible, and has collars that screw on both ends so the hose clamps are not on the ribbing. I didn't see

Re: Stus-List Dual fuel filter valve setups

Lots of solutions are possible--simplest is probably mounting a dual-system that uses manual valves to direct the fuel thru one system and not another.  Couple of points to consider: The first filter your fuel goes thru is likely the most important one to duplicate IMHO--not the engine mounted on

Yet, the marina finally began a couple months ago to repair the three piers that have been closed since Hurricane Irma more that two-and one-half-years ago. Those workers are s

Re: Stus-List Florida COVID checkpoint

I agree it is serious and one should take all appropriate precautions, but I certainly plan to go sailing.  As long as the marina is still launching boats when the time comes, once I am at my mooring, I can get to and from my boat without ever seeing another person.  Can’t think of a safer place to
