Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

Hi Rod, Beyond the physical attachment of a tiller head to the rudder post, you’ll also need to address the sizeable hole that is cut in the cockpit that accommodates the idler assembly as well as the pedestal guard. Not to mention where your engine controls will need to be relocated. The Eds

Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

Hi Rod Mine came with emergency tiller that fit over the rudder post.  If you have one you might be able to sacrafice it to provide the tiller attachment. Have to say though, that you are going to give up a lot of cockpit space given the location of the rudder post. Cheers davidC&C 32 Wanderer

Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

OK — So here’s what happens. And this may be OK, but somehow it feels like it’s not — please let me know. I plug into shore power and turn on the battery charger. It’s a ProSport and it’s hooked up to the House Bank, a set of flooded batteries. Within a few moments, the voltage goes over 13 vo

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Sounds like a problem with the battery charger. I would disable the ACR (disconnect the sensing wire if possible) and try again. Are you reading the voltage at the battery terminals, onboard voltage meter, or on the charger? Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Nov 11, 2016 4:

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Ok. So you could also try using the charger on an independent battery. Carry one down to the boat (maybe a small U-1 tractor battery) or use your car. The idea is to eliminate variables. If it continues to overcharge without the ACR in the circuit then you know it's the charger. Maybe it is se

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Is it a two bank charger? If so, are both charging circuits connected to the batteries; one to the house bank and one to the start battery? If so, disconnect the one to the start battery and see how that works. Let the ACR charger the start bank. I think some chargers don't like to be wired to

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

That's a single bank charger. So it's charging the house bank and the ACR is charging the start battery. That's a simple setup. Sounds like the charger is a bit wacko to me. Shouldn't run up the voltage like it's doing. Dennis C. On Fri, Nov 11, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cn

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

The only single bank ProSport systems are 6amps. That is pretty small compared to the total capacity of your bank. ~1%. I can't explain it but maybe that's part of the problem. Sometimes certain switching power supplys need a load for them to work properly. A large enough bank and a small enou

Re: Stus-List Removing 30-1 Exterior Handrails

An update on this. I decided to wait until the offseason to continue this project. Yesterday I was successful at removing the exterior handrails - slightly destructively. Some of the screw shafts were broken so turning the heads did no good, but the screw shafts were still holding the handrail

Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

Colin, thanks for the welcome! Chuck, I'm not totally married to the tiller idea but find the wheel a real nuisance when trying to get to the sheets. I do have an Autohelm 3000 that came with the boat so maybe that could help. David, I do have the emergency tiller for the boat but it looks like a b

Still planning on getting a folding prop for next year. On advice from Dennis C. I've looked on eBay a bit. Today I noticed markings (engravings) on my current fixed two-blade propeller that say the following: 6 95 MI/FED SAILER [sic] 12 RH 7 I interpret those last engravings to mean 12"

Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

Discussion on tiller vs. wheel are a bit like Windows vs. Apple. This has more to do with personal preferences than with logic. However, if you find it difficult to single-hand from behind the wheel, try steering from in front of it. This works especially well if you have an autopilot. It works

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

To the best of my knowledge a 12v battery charger should not go over 14.6 or so. If it is goig to 15 to 16 volts I would be getting a new charger. A friend had this happen with a mastervolt unit and fried his house bank of 2 T105 6v. Doug Mountjoy SvPegasus LF38 #4 On Friday, November 11, 2016, Jo
