Stus-List C&C 37+ -- Head Vented Loop?

My 37+ has a vented loop behind the vanity. I converted the port side water tank to holding for the Great Lakes. I installed a check valve in the aft sink but shut off the v birth sink when sailing using a 1/4 turn valve in the drain. It’s pretty easy to bury the rail in a blow. I try to reduce

Bruce, the plastic tri light lens pretty much disintegrated but it was 5 years older than yours! I think the regs say an all round light installed where it can best be seen so there is some flexibility but remember a mast head light illuminates the top rigging too. At night in an anchorage where

The way I have to look at it is based on being on the hard from October to May. If I was in the water like Josh 11/12 months or Bob 12/12, I wouldn’t even look at it. It wouldn’t make sense to me either and simply is not required. If you have ever checked on your boat and found water just under

Our bilge is shallow but not as shallow as a KCB model. I would install it low in the keel stub. It would be best as low as you can and mine may be 1/4-1/2 inch off the bottom and it works fine. I would normally vacuum and sponge out the bilge whenever it was above freezing but that was difficu

Josh, I kept my packing gland for future use but you need the 1-1/8 shaft brass packing gland, 4 clamps, a short piece of hose and appropriate sized and type packing. If you need a pic or a hose measurement let me know. I have self adhesive silicone tape and rigging tape on board as a possible

Josh, Shawn is correct. The 6 inch or so piece of hose on the original packing gland. I would bet a high number of boats still have it in service. Mine was 20 years old when I replaced it and the outer rubber layer had cracks in it. There isn’t a lot of water pressure on it but it gets a little

Bruce, the head valve and/or the anti siphon valve stop the flow of clear water into the head. Therefore both of them would have to fail. I would check your anti siphon valve if I were you. It may be plugged or not open far enough to let a little air in and stop the siphon effect. If you want to

Joe, while the whaler would work in the Erie Canal or the Trent Severn Canal system, it doesn’t give you much exposure to the Great Lakes. If you are on the Great Lakes and the weather picks up, it can get quite rough. The waves are close together and steep, without the large swells you get ocea

One of the most useful diagnostic tools for me is a clamp on AC/DC ammeter. That may tell you what amperage it’s popping at. You put it on AC amps and just clamp it over one leg. Mine will hold the highest recorded amperage. I also use it to more accurately read how much DC the solar panel is p
