Stus-List Engine acoustic insulation, incl. sources in Canada?

Hi All, Have searched the archives and found some great discussion on insulation installation practices. Several folks replaced this material in 2014. Funny remark on the existing material being "both lily and dusty at the same time. Mine is making a mess. Any particularly good materials to re

Stus-List winter condensation

This winter with weather going form warm and humid to cold and back has caused more condensation than the last 10 winters combined. Anyone have any good ideas to get rid of it? Right now I am thinking about getting calcium chloride (the ingredient in Damp-Rid) and putting out a bucket of it plu

Re: Stus-List winter condensation

I use a basement dehumidifier. Being a live aboard mine drains to the bilge. But you could put it on the galley counter and drain it into the galley sink. I have mine set to 45%.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original message--From: Della B

Re: Stus-List winter condensation

Only issue is the humidifier is essentially an air conditioner. If I don’t heat the boat up to maybe 65 degrees it isn’t going to be enough colder than the surrounding air to condense much and running a heater set to 65 and a dehumidifier will be quite the electric bill. I set the heat to 70 one

Hi Joe We are running a dehumidifier about 10 hrs a day. Really dried things up and is very comfortable. 34F outside, 64F inside and climbing. We have it set to pull it down to 50 and shut off. You can set them up to pump into the bilge or sink if you choose. Got this one at home depot. Che

Steve, I’m surprised Edson would not sell you the idler less sheaves (but with the uprights installed, which is the tricky part and requires the use of a press and special rivets) but I haven’t worked there for several years and it is possible they’ve had a “policy” change. In my tenure at Eds

Looks awesome! It is completely authentic to the original. Very well done. I agree that either a "+" or an "R" or "XL" or "37/40" would be nice options and appropriate. I am apprehensive about the durability of plastic and I personally will continue to pursue a polished metal plaque. I had im

Thanks Don, (And Tim) Will check out the HMP material. I also found something called Barymat BM-1C at two local industrial suppliers one of whom quoted C$134 for 27sqft. (54X72) (HMP is C$95 13sqft, not the same stuff though) I have a sample of the barymat material and it is quite heavy a

Re: Stus-List Furler system

Congrats! My 2 cents: 15 - 25 year old sails are shot. I don't know what your wind conditions are like, but I would buy a Harken furler and a good Dacron sail that covers most of your wind conditions.Partially furled sails are not great upwind, but are fine for cruising. It will cost several

Dave, I bought Sounddown insulation. It was kind of pricey, even at Defender. It works well. I’ve started using a product called Fat Mat in my cars/trucks. It is thin, but heavy. It sticks to most surfaces and is easy to apply. I might try some on the boat soon too. It is also fairly

Re: Stus-List winter condensation

Hi Joe, Your current conditions sum up a B.C. South Coast winter pretty well. I run a ceramic style "cube" heater set about 10 degrees F above ambient and on a 12 hour timer set to come on at midnight. This allows me to override the timer if I'm puttering on the boat during the day. 80 bucks

Re: Stus-List Furler system

If you are reasonably handy then you can install it. Best to drop the mast, but it can be done mast up if you can keep the forestay. And keeping the forestay will depend on what furler you go with, I've got a Harken cruising unit #1, had to change the forestay when I installed it. I'd go with

Re: Stus-List C&C Nameplate

I might add the acrylic plates will be more durable than the original because the letter are integral rather than glued on. The UV resistance might be a little better after 25 years, as well. I'm sure there will be a significant cost difference vs. stainless steel. Gary Sent from my iPhone.
