Stus-List Re: backstay tension?

Not sure about your question, but the plastic coated wire for a backstay would scare me... Be sure to check for corrosion. My 35mk2 manual states 2200psi i believe as the maximum pressure, and there is a chart which shows what tension this equates to. HydraTech tensioner, made in Vancouver. Mine is

Bruce, To answer your question, I have no idea. For many years the gauge on my adjuster was unreadable. As part of the recent repair, a new gauge was installed. I still have no plans to look at it. First, the reading is only an indicator. It shows hydraulic pressure inside the cylinder. This

Hi Josh, I just want to let you know that, I questioned myself when I was thinking exactly your theory, but today I confirmed it that it is exactly as you described. I really could not find anything inside the pedestal, but the conduit did slide in the clamps. The clamps were loose, I imagine it h

I believe Robertson but maybe Phillips. I can say with certainty that you won’t want to reuse the old screws so you could just use a drill from the inside to remove if need be. You will likely want to drill a slightly oversized hole in the teak legs and plug each with a hardwood dowel. Also I recal

Stus-List Re: help with shift cable issue

It looks like the "cable conduit" is held to a stabilizing beam with hose clamps. Am I seeing that correctly? If the conduit has NOT slid in those hose clamps then you're probably not going to find any luck inside the pedestal. On the other hand if the conduit has slid in the hose clamps you may

Thx John. My engine is a Universal diesel M30; the pedestal is a Edson, probably a very old model from the 1970s. I am planning to take the top of the pedestal apart today and see if I can find anything there. Thx. Bo On Sun, Apr 18, 2021 at 7:56 AM John and Maryann Read via CnC-List < cnc-lis

HI Bo What model pedestal and engine and tranny? If your tranny is a cone design, it is critical to get full throw at the tranny shift lever or there will be slippage The outer sheath is (should be) clamped on both ends so does not move. I see a hole in your pedestal tube. Is that for
