Re: Stus-List used vs new autopilot

I have been contemplating on buying a new ev100 outopilot or purchase a used control head for my old st4000+. I would save about $1000 dollars. so my question is is it worth the money to invest in new? will the ev100 technology perform better? ___ This l

Re: Stus-List used vs new autopilot

I'd vote new. I'm gettting pretty close to the same situation. The issue with continuing on with the old stuff is integration. When the next instrument fails, the newer ones will come with newer interfaces, so keeping up with technologies will in the end make life simpler. I also think pretty m

Re: Stus-List used vs new autopilot

Fred Street is probably the guy to answer this. I guess I've seen the wheel pilot packages go for about $1200. So if you could get your existing going for $200, why not just do that? Then you could put the seeds out for the family to buy you an autopilot for you next birthday! Lol. I'm a

If you were happy with the old unit when it worked then id consider a repair but the new unit will outperform an old one Joel On Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 7:26 AM Danny Haughey via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Fred Street is probably the guy to answer this. > > I guess I've seen the whe

Stus-List Broken elbow at water tank manifold, newbie diesel engine questions

Hello everyone, Well, it's almost official - We're closing on a C&C 37/40+ next week!  Agreements signed, funds transferred, etc.  Now it's just about the paperwork.  So now the fun begins - repairs!  There is a broken elbow fitting at the water tank manifold - it appears to be polybutylene,

Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

Hello all, The engine in our 37/40+ is a Yanmar 3JH2E.  Anyone know where I can download a full repair manual?  Ideally, I'd like to find one free, as I know there is a full manual on board, but I want to begin reading everything I can before I take possession. In talking with the surveyor, h

Re: Stus-List Broken elbow at water tank manifold, newbie diesel engine questions

Hi Bruce, A lot of C&C boats had Qest plumbing fittings in that typically grey colour. Try these for further info: http://keithspecialty.com/plum.Qest%20fittings.htm https://www.plumbingsupply.com/polyb.html Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 10:32 AM 28/01/2017, you wrote: Hel

Stus-List Water leak

Bruce, Nice boat! Good luck with the finalization of your purchase. Your plumbing will probably be Quest but from the picture it looks like the manifold is actually the problem and I may be wrong it's hard to tell. My manifold was made by Gardenia. You could probably use any manifold if you can

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

I would bet that your diesel fuel and possibly the tank inside surfaces will be filled with and/or covered by crud from whatever living or dead bacteria, etc. that can live in that environment in the boat's climate. Before you get the engine running, I suggest you 'polish' the fuel yourself or

Stus-List AP - old vs new

Hi Steve, A few questions for you: -What do you use the AP for? Is it just used when motoring, or when putting the sails up/down? Do you use it with the sails up in gusty conditions or when racing (if allowed by the rules)? -What other electronics do you have and are they currently interfaced to t

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

One more thing to check – water pump impeller. If this list does not help you with engine manual, you might try the SBO (Sailboat Owners forum). It has much wider reach, though not as good advice (;-). Marek 1994 c279 “Legato” Ottawa, ON Sent from Mail

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

I can start my 2gm20f after changing the racor filter without bleeding. Not true for the Yanmar filter on the engine. I always have to bleed at the filter but generally not at the injectors. I say generally because sometime she won't start without a bleed, sometimes she starts and runs fine and

Re: Stus-List Engine Stop Cable - C&C 37+

Hey Ron, You might want to consider eliminating the pull to stop cable all together. You can see the the "engine stop solenoid" which the background of my video. The PO installed this and I love it. I'm thinking of re-purposing the pull cable as a "pull to decompress". It would then serve 2 pu

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

I took a video of some mods that you might be interested in. Particularly around the 2 minute mark I show some racor mods which will make bleeding and filter changes super easy. https://youtu.be/H-GI38vE4hQ I touch on the bleeding process on my 3HM35F in the next video. I usually have very litt

Re: Stus-List Broken elbow at water tank manifold, newbie diesel engine questions

I believe that the elbow is fine. I think the part that is actually broken is an adapter that changes from the garden hose fitting on the manifold to the MIP threads on the QEST elbow. The broken piece may also be the swivel on the manifold. C&C used these garden hose manifolds (4 way splitter)

I can't remember where I found all of my manuals but my parts manual is from boatdiesels.com. They wouldn't be exactly what you are looking for but here's the manuals for a 3HM and 3GM series engines. As I understand it the evolution of yanmar engines goes as follows. QM -> HM -> GM -> JH (I thi

Hi Barry, I have a C&C 30MK1 - would use it in most conditions and mostly solo sailing where i missed not having the AP the most. Most of my sailing are few hour trips and racing around the bay; not allowed to use it for racing. it is real nice to set when putting sails up, cruising and relaxing,

Stus-List AP - Old vs New

Hey Considering that you don't know if the rest of your AP system works, I strongly suggest that you buy a new system. I'm really surprised at the cost of the used control head. IMHO it's not worth the chance that some of the older gear won't work. The new gear is modern, will come with all new wi
