Stus-List Siphoning bilge pump hose?

We had a nasty scare last night after our Wednesday night race. We were motoring back to the dock - about a half hour trip and I climbed down the companionway into about 2 inches of bay water. The bilge was full and overflowing as we motored along. Inspection revealed no leaks that i could see f

Re: Stus-List Siphoning bilge pump hose?

Yup, your first thought is right; you need to install an anti-siphon valve. Had something similar happen to me at the dock on one boat. Floorboards started floating...and right in the middle of dinner, too. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://

Re: Stus-List Siphoning bilge pump hose?

I have a check valve on the discharge from the pump in the deep part of the sump. And, keep the Whale manual pump limber by working it fairly often, like after a rain when its intake is covered. I had to replace it when the old diaphragm was cracked and the whole thing was frozen up – from lack

We ran out of CNG last week in mid coffee making :( Transferring to the grill on the stern saved the day, but I just could not bear the thought of another $70-$100 or so tank exchange. I got this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boat-CNG-Tank-Refill-Adapter-/182573732313?hash=item2a823e11d9:g:r0UAAOSwz

Re: Stus-List Ordered a CNG filler adapter today

Joe, thank you for posting this; I have need of one of those, and would like very much to buy one of them...but have always been hesitant because of prior comments about the differences on pressure between the car filling systems and the small size of our tank; I note the gauges on the adapter

Re: Stus-List Ordered a CNG filler adapter today

I got the dual gauge version for this reason. Cars seem to fill to 3000 or 3600 PSI and my boat tanks never seem to have more than maybe 2200-2400 when I get them. I plan to fill mine to 2200. Just like any other tank, watch the gauge and shut it off when it gets to the pressure you want. Joe C

Re: Stus-List Ordered a CNG filler adapter today

Addendum: Filling a 2200 PSI tank with a 2200 PSI hose take a LONG time. The last little bit takes forever. Joe Della Barba From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2017 10:29 AM To: bushma...@aol.com; cnc-list@c

Re: Stus-List Siphoning bilge pump hose?

I have seen this too, but with a port midships discharge, I see it when on a prolonged starboard tack. The first time on a night race and an empty water bottle made a splash being dropped down the main hatch. I do have a vented loop. I have to clean the rubber piece of the anti-siphon after it happ

Re: Stus-List Siphoning bilge pump hose?

On my primary (non emegency) pump I have a check valve. It seems to affect the priming of the pump upon restart-up. Check valve needs cleaning or other reason? Thanks in advance. Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone Original message From: Gary Nylander via CnC-List

Hi Joe, This offseason I overhauled my 30-1's bilge plumbing, so spent some time thinking through the design issues. Wrote it all up at http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/2017-March/091421.html . I use my manual diaphragm pump, a Whale Gusher 10 mounted under the cockpit sol

Anyone have experience with a 100% for a C&C 24? I have a 155, 150, 135 and small storm jib. I was thinking of a 100-110% could be useful for the sail arsenal. Doug s/v Red Sky ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If yo

Re: Stus-List Ordered a CNG filler adapter today

I ordered one last year. In Halifax we have no CNG car filling stations (nearest is Montreal) but Heritage Gas does have the capability to refill these provided our tanks are certified and we supply the adaptor. Is a slow fill but the charge was something like $1.14 for the gas and a $10 admin

Re: Stus-List Sails for C&C 24

Doug, I think it matters where you sail and how much weight you can put on the rail. I had a 1975 25 and carried a 150, 125, and 100% but we sail in Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts where we get short steep chop. As such, the 100% didn’t get much use since it wouldn’t drive the boat through the

Stus-List Boom Rigging

Greetings everyone, I'm in search of a good schematic for redoing the rigging on my LF 38. I have the manual and it shows some length measurements, but I'm not fully educated on the terms. The only thing holding up the boom now is the old rope guides that keep the main from falling on the deck.

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

I don't have a lot of time right now but the "topping lift" attaches to the aft end of the boom to keep it up. If you hace a boom vang you may or may not need/want a topping lift. The guide ropes are calles "lazy jacks" and they are not designed to support the boom. When I have time I'll write m

Re: Stus-List Sails for C&C 24

I had a 135% on a furler (on my ex C&C 24) and fairly regularly sailed with it reefed to about 100% (or even less). It worked quite well. I guess it all depends how much excitement you want to provide your crew and the guests. Marek Ex. 1974 C&C 24 “Fennel” Ottawa From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-lis

Re: Stus-List Sails for C&C 24

Doug, My experience with a 110% Lapper on my 25 mk1 is similar to Chuck’s. The sail never sees the light of day unless the wind is above about 20 true and the main has at least one reef. Given that I sail in North Carolina, you can read that as “almost never”. I also have a storm jib for the

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

Hey Brian, I'm back again. You might consider using amsteel for you topping lift it is relatively cheap and you can do the splicing yourself (locked brummel eye splice with closed thimble). If the length is in question then use the halyard to pull a tape measure up the mast then walk back to the
