Re: Stus-List C&C29 MK1 Mast Step Replacement

Yep, been there, done that and got the T shirt.  First time I noted the problem was when attending my first Owners meeting Rob Mazza asked the assembled owners how many had replaced the mast step and six or eight hands went up.   OMG wots this?   Second time on Saturday Morning before heading o

Hi Lee, I documented my mast step rebuild project on my 30 MK I - see https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-NqAxQ6JxFTUlhmbUs4YTZlZnM/view?usp=sharing Cheers, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30 MK I #79 Ken Caryl, CO

Stus-List Stove lock

FWIW, my 3 burner F-10 only has a single lock on the right side. 2 is probably better than 1 but I never missed a left side lock—the boat was delivered with only the right lock. I rarely use the stove and never when underway—in this situation,1 lock is plenty—although as a lefty, it would have be

If it is like the 35, the cash outlay is not bad but the time on your belly chiseling out rotted wood is high. 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 Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Monday, August 31, 2020 2:10

Re: Stus-List C&C29 MK1 Mast Step Replacement

Lee, Frequent topic on the list. Many of us have rebuilt the mast steps on our boats. Nothing catastrophic about it, just a pain in the butt. First, many older C&C's mast steps were simply 3-4 pieces of marine plywood bonded together with NO encapsulation. Many years in the wet environment of

Stus-List C&C29 MK1 Mast Step Replacement

Dear C&C List members, I have a C&C29 MK1 and over the weekend the mast step failed and the mast sank about 4 or 5 inches! We suspect this is due to the mast step block having rotten away. But we won't know for sure until the mast is removed on Saturday. We're hoping to fix the issue well enough

I bought an AIS receiver from Milltech and it worked fine for many years. Eventually I sold to someone on this list 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 Doug Mountjoy via CnC-List Sent: Monday, August

Re: Stus-List AIS and IPAd...

Hi all, When I bought Rebecca Leah she came with a class B transponder, and an antenna splitter ( for lack of a better description). I bought her from the owner of MILLTECH Marine. Doug is very knowledgeable about AIS. Thats all his company does. Contact him for your best options. I have all my ele

Re: Stus-List Sealing a plumbing leak on the head outlet

FWIW, my prior response about using Gasoila assumed that Ian already tried the hot water / heat gun trick. His original note did not indicate he encountered a problem getting the hose on all the way. If that’s the case, obviously try the mechanical tricks first. However, sometimes the problem

Re: Stus-List Sealing a plumbing leak on the head outlet

Use liquid disk soap to lure both the barb and inside of the hose, heat first as suggested. I find it easier to remove the barb from the head to get the hose on on the Jabsco toilets. Paul From: CnC-List on behalf of Ian Matthew via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, Augu

I agree as well, shouldn’t need, unless you have a really bad fitting. I have been removing /Assembling 1 ½” hoses to a Grey tank I can’t get to pump, and I always use a heat gun, on the lower setting, (which, by the way, is much hotter than a Hair Dryer) and a little Dawn. Clamping it down whi

Re: Stus-List AIS and IPAd...

I use a Digital Yacht 1500 with a separate antenna. Another antenna is far cheaper than a splitter, won’t malfunction and take out the VHF too, and if the masthead antenna becomes unusable I can connect it to the VHF if I want to. The AIS unit feeds GPS and AIS info to my laptop and the CP-180 in

Re: Stus-List AIS and IPAd...

David, There are only one or two VHFs with transponders. I went with a SiTex unit and splitter, but if you want wifi I would look at the Vesper 8000 and a splitter. Enjoy the race! Joel On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 9:13 AM David Risch via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Thanks to all f

Thanks to all for responding. So as to my philosophy of electronics/platforms: I do not (try not) replace things that are not broken, keep electronics not front and center (of helm) and keep systems separate so that if one goes down others are still functioning and I am still the active (i

Re: Stus-List Sealing a plumbing leak on the head outlet

You could try putting the hose end in hot (close to boiling hot) water for a few minutes and then quickly slipping it on and clamping it tight before it cools down. On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 7:34 PM Ian Matthew via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Looking for advice. I r
