Re: Stus-List where to put the solar fan

FWIW, I faced the solar fan problem several years ago. I studied the boats at several marinas, especially the newer model boats built after solar fans became a nice option. I saw the forward hatch as the most common place for a first solar fan. I added a second fan in the head, and two more at t

Re: Stus-List where to put the solar fan

All, As I understand it, the best way to use solar fans are to use two. One for air in (intake) and the other on the other end of the boat set to exhaust. This will create a flow of air through the boat to reduce the buildup of mildew and mold inside the boat. It won't keep the boat cool, but i

Re: Stus-List Crow vent size

So many choices. There are several brands and nominal 3" and 4" models, but each one is slightly different. Some makers make drop-ins for existing deck plates or dorade vents. Suggest you pick the fan you like first and cut the hole for it. If you have dorades, measure the opening and shop for a

Stus-List Using a hammer drill to remove corroded fastener

Pete FWIW - I got access to the track by removing the top stop. For whatever reason it was more easily persuaded then the bottom one. Still a PIA but it did come out without drastic measures. SO at least take a shot - on my boat I can get that high with just a regular extension ladder on the deck.

Re: Stus-List where to put the solar fan

Stus-List Corrosion on the rub rail

My boat, as do many C&C's, has a black anodized aluminum rub rail secured with stainless screws. Because of the action of stainless and aluminum, some corrosion has occurred around most of the holes in the rail. A certain amount of the light gray corrosion has stained the black anodizing. I a

Re: Stus-List C&C 41 re-engine

Paul, I have a 1984 C&C 41. No, I have not done an engine swap but I would be real interested in the details of the project. Seems that getting the old engine out would be the main concern. Relocating  engine mounts should not be a problem. Of course putting the new engine in would be interest
