Stus-List Sea Strainer Plugging Up

2019-06-19 Thread Allan Hester via CnC-List
Listers, On a recent trip I found my sea strainer plugging up with sea weed very often. The good news is its doing its job. The bad news is it plugs up far too frequently. It seems to happen most frequently when entering or leaving various harbours here on the west coast. On 2 occassions I

Hi Tom, No, I have not read Passage to Juneau or Ready About but I will keep them in mind. Thank you. Over the past decade I have read dozens of cruising books from "how to" books to fiction. A few that I see on my book shelf that I enjoyed: -After 50,000 Miles by Hal Roth. -Trekka Round the

A very interesting thread with some excellent comments and insight. I enjoy reading offshore cruising books by such people as John Kretschmer which stir my imagination, so the thought of taking my C&C 35 Mk 3 offshore is in the back of my mind. A cruise down the coast to San Francisco, San D

CNC listers, I am installing a Raymarine under deck autopilot for my 1989 C&C 35 MK3. The process required removing the quadrant and steering cables. Does anybody know how tight the quadrant cables should be? Is there a rule of thumb for tension or a specific guide? Thank you. AL H. Pacif

Hi, As one of my many winter projects, I am considering upgrading the insulation for the refrigeration unit on my 1989 C&C 35 Mk3. The unit currently has a Nova Cool which works well and produces ice. My goal is to improve the insulation and hopefully reduce the energy required to keep the

Does anyone know where I can source a corner grab for my 35 Mk 3? South shore sells an aluninum replacement for about $100 + shipping. It needs to be drilled, ground to fit and painted. Maybe someone know of a C&C being parted out? Thank you. Al H. Pacific Ranger 1989 C&C 35 mk 3 Vancouver, BC.

Hi Fred and listers, As you know, I am considering a new autopilot. Autopilots are something I know nothing about. The Raymarine ST4000 currently installed works but it is very old and is not capable of steering the boat straight in anything other than a relatively flat sea state. However

Listers, One of the upgrades on my list is to replace the ancient Autohelm ST 4000 with a unit from this century. It still works, kind of, but I would like a unit that can keep up with rolling seas. I will likely go with another wheel helm autopilot but would consider an under deck unit. I thi
