Re: Stus-List Crack at trailing edge of lower spreader on LF38

I would be very concerned about any crack in the spreaders. If they fail, the mast falls down, which some people find terribly off-putting. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 > >

Re: Stus-List 30MKII Screens in the ports?

I was referring to the smaller rectangular units. Their aperture is small enough, but the screening cuts the flow to almost nothing. The companionway screen is large enough to admit a decent amount of air while keeping outs birds, bees and assorted flying insects. Allen From: Lorne Serpa vi

Re: Stus-List 30MKII Screens in the ports?

My setup is exactly like Allen’s, with Velcro attachment for the square hatches and framed screens for the smaller rectangular hatches. We tend to use the rectangular hatches without the screens when we sleep in the back berth partly because of the reduction in airflow, partly because I forget

Re: Stus-List Crack at trailing edge of lower spreader on LF38

Thanks for all the comments! Cracks in aluminum have a tendency to propagate--so, small cracks can turn into bigger problems. Since this is easy to fix here and difficult to fix later in the Bahamas, I'm fixing it here. I am having my spreaders removed (one at a time) and having them weld rep

Re: Stus-List 1988 30MKII 2GM throttle reversed

Lorne, Every boat’s throttle settings are designed so that you push a lever forward to go faster forward and back to slow the boat down. Any other orientation is completely counterintuitive and would not be an acceptable application for any production boat builder. In an Edson pedestal, there

Re: Stus-List Crack at trailing edge of lower spreader on LF38

Bob, I had the same spreader problem (wear from a previous owner not tying off the steel cable halyard). In the end the best solution was to remake the spreaders. Bay sailing equipment, 986 cherry street, Fall River, Frank: 508 678 4419 has the original C&C extrusion and did the work. It

Re: Stus-List Awful Vibration

Alan, My gear shift linkage is totally different with the cable coming in from forward of the lever through a bracket. Its pretty obvious that I need only to remove the lever rotate it 180 degrees and reattach it to make forward be forward again. I'm guessing that if the vibration was due to

Stus-List intermitent vibration/shudder in ocean swells

Hey all - My friends and I are currently in Tofino, BC on day 6 of a much needed vacation. So far our Yanmar GM30F and 3-bladed max-prop have been performing brilliantly, sipping diesel and pushing the boat through the less-windy sections of Strait of Juan De Fuca and up and over some large ocean

Re: Stus-List intermitent vibration/shudder in ocean swells

I wonder if that little bit of wind was just enough to tilt the boat forward so that the prop was sucking air momentarily as the bow tipped down over the top. Could that cause the prop to feather? Power boat racers have a person assigned to the throttle in swells. I don't have a feathering prop,

Re: Stus-List intermitent vibration/shudder in ocean swells

A friend had the same issue, the problem was apparently that the water flow over the prop was neutral/reversing when the boat surfed momentarily. His solution, after much dollar spendage and mechanic guessing, was to motor at a speed that didn't produce the problem. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35

Stus-List Success - Re: Starting Problem

I appreciate all the advice. Had some nicer weather (finally) so I drove down to the boat this morning. Couple hours of mucking around and I got it sorted. I was able to get the engine to crank over when I hot wired the solenoid, and the multimeter was showing power to the starter/solenoid

Re: Stus-List intermitent vibration/shudder in ocean swells

The Max-Prop may be worn and need to be rebuilt. Check for looseness in the blades when it is hauled. I had something similar happen when motor sailing when my prop was worn. When the wind would puff and accelerate the boat taking the load off the prop, it would shudder. Eric C&C 34/36 On Thu, J
