Hi Dave, Your assumption is correct. The vanes travel from inlet to outlet the long way around the housing. The cam allows the water to be squeezed so it goes through the outlet port. Although not necessary, orienting them in the direction of travel is a good practice. Cheers, Ru

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

The 4th issue might not be applicable for most of us. From the Trojan FAC section: 3. How far can I tilt my batteries? For flooded batteries, 22 degrees from vertical is the maximum recommended tilt. AGM and Gel batteries can be operated vertically or horizontally. I rarely sail at over 22 d

Re: Stus-List change subject reminder

Hey guys, It is little wonder people get frustrated and leave when this list looks more like a chat line then a problem solving, albeit somewhat humourous at times (damn, I miss those days). As an old codger I can say the quality of discussion degraded when people started getting their emai

Hi Dennis, Is there room to put a nipple extender on one the elbows so it can swing above the companion? (apologies to anyone who gets hit by their nanny software) Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 11:20 AM 3/29/2018, you wrote: I'm still researching the correct pump.  I've pr

Re: Stus-List Spring Projects

Hi Edd, I spent the Easter Weekend in our local anchorage, with a few other boats & friends. Cool on Sunday morning but got the cabin to 60F soon enough to make coffee. Nice way to spend a 34th wedding anniversary. Some time during the weekend I made a list of "deck tasks". Mostly pretty type s

I handle list emails very similar to Dennis. Using Eudora, the newest version... 2006. :) Very reliable and not bothered by the dweebs who write spam & virus. cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 07:44 AM 2/13/2018, you wrote: Nope. Do you have the capability to set filters with yo

Re: Stus-List Halyard knots (was: Masthead sheaves C&C 37+)

Here's a good article with a wee bowline mentioned, from the professor himself, Mr. Brion Toss. http://www.briontoss.com/education/archive/miscsept02.htm Also, beware of the difference between a reduction of strength by X5 vs.retention of strength... no big deal if it's 50% but a value of 60%

Re: Stus-List be careful out there!

Hey Joe, That is normal clear weather dock conditions for a weekend boat check around here, just above the Pacific North West. Except we don't have none of those ice thingies. One of the reasons we don't mind the rain so much... no frost. BTW, it doesn't matter how far away the ladder is.

Re: Stus-List Small lead weight "sewn" into anchor rode?

Hi Bruce, The other guys are on the right track regarding kellet associations. But six ounces is ridiculously small of course, for the purpose, seeing as 10 - 50 percent of anchor weight is good. I suspect your little weights were sewn in to act as a kellet "stop" since it doesn't do much g

Re: Stus-List toe rails

Hi Bill, I suggest you try a test patch of Penetrol. Apply a very thin film with a rag and see how you like it. It is a very old product made by the Flood Company. Search out some forums on how people use it. Interesting. If I recall correctly, Dennis is also a fan of Penetrol. Che

Re: Stus-List C&C 34/36 kitchen shelf

I can help Mike too. Hey Mike. Another significant difference in the boats these guys are talking about is a kitchen. I guess they are not fitted with a gallery, saloon, head and such that you & I are familiar with. BTW, where's Wally? Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 07

Re: Stus-List iNAV

Blame the navigator, not the tools... and if the navigator is a tool then it still gets the blame. At the risk of sounding like a techno-peasant, is the iNav another apple thingy? I'm still stuck on OpenCPN or Visual Navigator (without a dongle) on an XP box . Cheers, Russ

Thanks for the well wishes Dennis, et al. And from Melody & I, we wish everyone the Best of Winter Solstice, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Don't worry. Be happy. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 02:28 PM 21/12/2017, Dennis C. via CnC-List wrote: From down her

Re: Stus-List Experience with exp system epoxy

Hi Doug, We have Systems Three made near our area and similarly much cheaper than West systems. I suggest calling EPS and speaking directly with a tech about what you wish to do with their product. You will probably find a wealth of information and gain trust, if warranted, in what they have
