Stus-List Tiller Wobble Resolved

I had a diver inspect my rudder. He advised there was an extraordinary amount of marine life attached, including a multi arm starfish about the size of a garbage can lid. I suspectcthis was the cause of my rudder wobble. The diver will clean the rest of the hull tomorrow. I hope to take a te

Stus-List Tiller wobble

My 1980 34 C&C has a tiller that wobbles excessively when running with engine at 3,000 rpm. A cursory inspection does not show any adjustment or easy bearing replacement. All bolts are tight. There is some slack, maybe 1/8" when testing the tiller by moving back and forth at the dock. Has anyo

Thanks for all of the responses - I've been out of town for the past couple of days. I did look at both 35 Mkiii on Friday. The boat in Seattle does indeed have a tiller that appears to be original, based on the look of it and the engine control location. The boat in Everett seems to be in bett

Re: Stus-List Tiller on C&C 35 Mkiii?

No matter what boat you are considering, it is likely that it will at least have a cored deck. IMO there is a better chance something is wrong with the deck than with the hull. Few if any modifications are made to the hull by the POs. The decks OTOH have likely had all types of additions and mod

I don't like cored hulls either. As far as I know the 32 was the last C&C built without one. Cheers david Wanderer C&C32 From: David Castor via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 6:02 PM To: robert ; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Tiller on C&C 35 Mkiii?

I'm not sure Alan's around much, but I'll chip in. There are some original tiller 35's. The cockpit is designed for a wheel so it's a little crowded with tiller, but the tiller gives you great cockpit space at anchor as well as better feel at the helm. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victor

Hi Dave, We've really enjoyed owning our 35 Mk III. I think you've covered the majority of the model-specific risks (we're reinforcing the mast step this spring). One other area to check (for deck leaks and possible movement) are the chain plates. They are tied into the settee backs, which are

Hello - first post here. I'm in the market for a boat and will be looking at two different 35 Mkiii tomorrow. One apparently has a tiller instead of a wheel. Does anyone know if this was an option on a new boat? I'm assuming it was probably a later conversion. I've already been advised on chec

Brent, Several weeks ago a J30 broke its tiller at the windward mark, causing havoc for the rest of the fleet. Fortunately, he was doing his usual sloppy rounding and everyone managed to go between him and the mark as he did 360s while out of control. Don't be that idiot! Joel On Wed, Jul 9,

It was several years ago (2006?) when I looked for someone to custom build this unusual tiller, and I believe ruddercraft was one of the places that either said they couldn't do it, or lost my email address after I sent them a photo of what it was I needed. Obviously, you could replace the til
