I am working on a rewiring project for my Universal M4-30 and ran into some questions I am hoping someone can help clarify. 1. I took the alternator off last fall to have it checked (it was fine). My pictures and recollection is that I disconnected two wires from the back- heavy orange from

Hi guys, just surfacing again, trying to do a buddy a favour I have a surplus WESTERBEKE 4-60 engine which was pulled from my boat to accommodate my electric drive. My buddy has an ATOMIC 4 with raw water cooling and wants to know if you can install the WESTERBEKE heat exchanger onto the ATOMI

Thanks for the helpful replies. I do have a rigid vang supporting the boom, so that is not a problem. Once the sail is down and we are on the mooring, I also carry the main halyard aft and attach it to where the topping lift used to attach. From your inputs so far, it sounds like 4 lines is o

Stus-List Keel Bolt Overtightening?

2017-04-20 Thread Eugene Fodor via CnC-List
Anyone have an idea of signs to look for to make sure I'm not overtightening my keel bolts on my C&C 29-2? I tightened them last weekend using a torque wrench and went to about 205 ft lbs for the 1 in bold and about 70 ft lbs for the the 1/2 inch; both of which are below the values listed on the to

So that means the base is likely soft. I ended up re-glassing area around the two forward bolts and adding a larger ¼” aluminum plate to provide larger surface so I can get to required torque. You can see the backing plate in this photo. https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/members/1842-albu

Chuck, I did the Adler-Barbour conversion on my ice box a long time ago. It is air cooled and works well here in Virginia. It was not a difficult project. Tedious, but not difficult. The compressor and coils reside in the port lazarette on a small shelf that I glassed to the hull. I can

Gene, The original washers on my boat were not very substantial. They did flex and bend. After my keel R&R, I have new washers that are much more substantial now. Actually, my new washers also have backing plates that spread the load out much better. I highly recommend them. Jake

Chuck, Jake, et al: I have just done the same conversion, switching from an old Sea Frost unit which ran off the engine. The new unit is a Norcold Norcolder 4408 Series, with the L-shaped plate (purchased from Defender). It works well and is much smaller than the Sea Frost. Like Jake's it

Another approach, if the front pulley is accessible, is to put a deep socket on the nut holding the pulley to the crankshaft, then use a socket wrench or a breaker bar to rotate the engine. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY On 4/20/2017 6:17 PM, David via CnC-List wrote: Hello a

I used it to fill dimple-like mini-blisters (lots of them) on the bottom of my Ranger 26 a long time ago. Worked great – no issues underwater for several years. I’ve been using it ever since. Measuring the two parts if you’re not using an entire box is a bit of a pain, but I remain a big fan.
