Re: Stus-List bilge pump

Hi My 37+ has 750gph in a shallow bilge and 1250gph in the deep bilge. I am replacing the backup manual pump from the cockpit that if you have a frightened man aboard is rated at 15 gpm (in that range, the more scared you are the higher the rating)! The mechanism recently failed so a brand new

Re: Stus-List bilge pump

We have a diaphragm bilge pump on persistence. It does not have as high a capacity as the other type but empties the bilge to a lower level due to the pickup it uses which is mounted very low. One benefit is that the pump itself is not located in the bilge. On Persistence the pump is in a cupb

Stus-List self-tailing winch problem

David, The screws which Joel mentioned are, from my experience, a type of cap screw. You might want to remove them one at a time and lube them with tef-gel, or anti-seeze. If they get stuck they break. If they are over torqued they break. If they are not fully tightened or the springs are old

I went to 3/8 VPC for spin halyards to save weight. The knobby surface provides good hand grip. The line locks well in the clutch. I tried 7/16 for jib sheets and also found them a bit slippery. The other issue is we broke the core on one line earlier this year. The core - core eye splice was fine

Re: Stus-List self-tailing winch problem

Knurling is the process by which texture is given to metal. Usually metal handles of wrenches and hammers or other tools will be knurled with a cross-hatched pattern. There are lots of options and harshnesses which can be chosen by the machinist. I'm not particularly familiar with the best line

If your winches have seen a lot of use, I suggest you have them knurled. Mine (Lewmar STs #30 and #50) had ~ 15 years of use and I had them re-knurled with a simple vertical 'scoring' pattern of 'medium' harshness for $30 each. Too much 'harshness' will chew up your line. They now hold as if ne
