Stus-List Solar Panel on Bimini top

Has anyone figured out how to mount a flexible solar panel on the bimini top without the panel edges/corners chafing the sunbrella? Wade Oh Boy, C&C 33 mk II Lake of the Woods

My tach was getting "stuck" a lot last summer. Replaced the harnesses at the engine and control panel this spring...that problem and a lot of other minor sporadic issues vanished. Mike Atacama 33 mkii Toronto On Tue., Jul. 26, 2022, 8:48 p.m. Dave S via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:

I think I am going to get 2 of these: https://www.us.sokbattery.com/product-page/sok-12v100ah-lifepo4-battery Advantages I see: 1. Two of them means a dead BMS only takes half the bank offline, not 100% of your power. 2. They have heaters for the very rare times the cabin might be

Check an RV store for Dicor Butyl tape.  I have a roll of it an a roll of Bed-It.  They seem pretty comparable. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Whitehall, Michigan On 7/26/2022 12:06 PM, CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List wrote: Looking to buy a new roll of Bed-it butyl tape.  Anybody b

Not sure I trust them. The website seems troubled as one page says, "backordered" another says available in August. My order page says, "one day shipping." Maybe I'll wait till August to order? Didn't want to try anything else if "Bed-It" is available. Sail-Rite makes good stuff and their B

Stus-List Re: Engine tachometer

The tach signal comes from your alternator. No RPMs means a loose or broken belt. Erratic readings or jumpy needle could mean a loose connection or a broken wire. Some Alternator terminals are labelled for the tach. The engine manual shows which terminal goes to the tach and I've found that

Stus-List Re: Engine tachometer

All that or the tach itself has gone whacky. You could put a scope on the tach output wire or another tack and see. My cheap Chinese tack will occasionally decide to wander around a bit and then settle back down. Joe Coquina From: Neil Gallagher via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2022 9:26

Stus-List Re: Engine tachometer

On small diesels the tach gets its information from the alternator, it uses the frequency of the alternating current, proportional to the alternator's RPM, before the current goes through the rectifiers to be converted to DC.  This could mean the electrical connection on the alternator for tach

Stus-List Engine tachometer

Yesterday, I was motoring and noticed that the engine tachometer was acting strangely. It would read 4000 rpm for a while and then drop back to 2000 rpm (roughly correct). Then it would go up to 3000 rpm and hold there. It kept bouncing around while the actual engine was steady, so it was jus
