The radiator cap on my Perkins diesel engine (Perkins Perma M30, installed by
the PO around 1982) is badly rusted. It’s easy to find a replacement that fits

It was very easy to wire the fuse in the power supply lead, right behind the

This was precisely my concern. I have learned so many useful things on this
list-serve that I have no interest in causing a problem (case in point,
separating the prop shaft from the transmission coupler - would never have
figured out how to do this on my own), and my own sense is that the folk
the "learning" steps in having the autopilot make the appropriate
rudder corrections for a certain course error.
My guess is these projects will not be of interest to lots of the Stus-list,
so perhaps we should start communicating offline. Interested?

Just realized it would be much easier to mount the panel on the pole (which
runs right along side the backstay) that supports the radar dome. Side-pole
mounts are quite available, not expensive, and with that I can put the panel

braces down to the taffrail? Do you have
specific recommendations for mounts? The panel (50 watt) is about 20 X 26
inches and weighs around 10 lbs.

For the last several years (5?) I have been trickle-charging my starting and
house batteries with a 20 watt semi-flexible solar panel from Spectra. In the
last year, its output has dropped to about 1/4 of the initial charge rate (used
to be about 1.2 A in bright sun). Reading reviews of these
The motor mounts on Cats Paw seem to be OK. I took a crowbar and tried lifting
the forward end of the engine under the mounts. Could lift it about 0.5 inches
but everything felt pretty solid, so I guess I will assume they are OK for now
and go ahead with replacing the dripless shaft seal. In
Same result with the X-5 on my 35/2. But I see the same behavior when I am
steering myself: it's so easy to keep on course going up wind or close
reaching - the boat practically sails itself. But on a broad reach or straight
downwind, especially with waves, it takes constant attention. So I
