Richard, If It is like my 36 CB it will be a bit tender but I've learned to reduce sail early and the boat does just fine. In fact going to wind with less sail has its advantages. Sail Safe, Mike Virginia Lee, 93295 78 C&C36 CB Virginia Beach, VA Sent from my iPad Mini > >> >> From:

Re: Stus-List Universal M4-30

The Universal was a “drop in” with the same footprint as an A4, If I’m not mistaken. Same thing with the newer 4-cyl M35B that is in my 38. I should think it was a tight fit in a 29, but doable. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com]

Re: Stus-List Wiring Diagram

Edd, I would risk stating the obvious, but if only charging you do is during motoring to the start line, your batteries will never get fully charged. You need either the shore power or some other means (solar). If you charge only during motoring, you at best end up with 80% charged batteries.

Re: Stus-List Wiring Diagram

Edd, You might consider keeping the house bank broken up with the ability to combine. As the others have said, a deep discharge is bad but getting a charge above 80% is more difficult and requires more current on larger banks. Maybe for race nights you could use "House #1" equal to 75-100Ahrs. W

Actually, the tough part is getting enough amps to do the bulk charge phase. Once you have tapered that down, the last 20% is soaking up low amps for a long time. A single big bank is more efficient at the bulk charge if your alternator and regulator are up to it. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 M
