Mike, The backing plate should be changed to a material that does not rot or corrode, like G10 when you haul her. Joel On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Michael Crombie via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > I headed down the the boat yesterday armed with wrenches to try tightening >

Re: Stus-List Depth transducer throughhull leak

When I redid mine 2 years ago I used West epoxy-coated marine ply as backing plates. The thinking was easier to shape to the interior hull and the old ones had lasted 15+ years anyway. Also I couldn’t find G10 sheet locally at anything close to a reasonable price. However we replaced the old woo

Thanks for your reply Brad. My cover is screwed in place with more screws than I care to remove. However, it has one or two semi-circular limber holes on the port and starboard sides for water to flow away--none that I recall on forward part of it. I can believe that without these holes, water

Re: Stus-List New C&C 37 Owner SSB antenna

One SSB idea I have been wanting to try: You add only a bottom insulator. The ground connection from the tuner is run to the base of the mast. This loads up a version of a big loop antenna that may work better and saves $$$ on insulators. If the backstay chainplate does not have a grounding wire

One issue I see with that is the safety issue: 250 watts of RF could cause a nasty burn to anyone that happened to contact the mast or other standing rigging when you’re transmitting. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On

Stus-List Tohatsu Outboard

Hello, I was thinking of replacing my Suzuki 9.9 with a Tohatsu 9.8. Does anybody have any experience with these? Also, to save weight I was considering the manual tilt. I was curious if it's difficult to raise and lower? Mark McMenamy C&C 25 "Icicle" Fort Pierce FL _

Re: Stus-List Tohatsu Outboard

Hi Mark, My recently sold C&C 25 had a Tohatsu (Nissan) 9.8 Long shaft electric start. Generally a good motor and was the lightest of the 9.8 electric starts on the market, making it a good choice for the somewhat flimsy transom on the 25. If I had to choose again, I would suggest the Extra Long

Re: Stus-List Tohatsu Outboard

I had a 2008 tohatsu on my O'day 22 for about 4 years before I sold the boat with the engine.  We were very happy with it.  I could raise and lower it myself, it was heavy but,  the bracket wasn't in the best shape. It had electric start but would pull start quite easily.  Best price at the time

Stus-List Icebox pump

Hi all. I was just at the boat cleaning up and I tried the icebox pump by switching it on at the breaker panel. Nothing. I tried to get a look at it but it seems I'd have to take up the galley sole to see the bottom of the icebox so I thought I'd research it a bit before I started disassembling.

Mine doesn't work either but since I have a refrigeration unit I don't have too much need for one. Its not hard to pull up the sole to expose the pump. There is a good chance that if mine ever worked then it stopped working because of freezing temperatures and not being winterized. It is easily

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Tohatsu and Nissan Marine are the same motor. I had a 18 hp 4 stroke Nissan on a 15 ft Seaeagle inflatable for several years and it started every time and ran great. I think you'll have no worries with the Tohatsu. Brian '80 Landfall 38 Nina On Apr 27, 2016 7:

Re: Stus-List Tohatsu Outboard

I agree with the extra long shaft. When I have my motor mount all the way down, and engine open, the plate that holds the engine actually dips in the water for a few inches. So in calm waters I don't lower the engine all the way. I never had any problems, but I have had the boat and the engine only

If you want a good one, get a Genesis controller. They are not cheap, but they’re not expensive and they are good. I think they are a bit cheaper than Morningstar. You want a good one. You can easily murder the batteries with a poor one. I have a Morningstar duo and I am happy, but if I were to
