Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain

I agree with Bruce. My ex C&C 24 had the hull awlgripped before I bought it. I had it for 8 years and had no problems. No waxing needed. Just wash every spring. And looks great. Not to mention that it seals the hull better than gelcoat. Marek 1994 c270 Legato Ottawa, Ontario Origina

Ron, What do you do with the wet fuel hose after the transfer. There is always some diesel left in it. Marek ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you wish to make a contribution to offset our costs, please go to: h

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank

My 1980 version was 19 gallons and made of aluminum. Last year, it started weeping - small leak I couldn't find. Pulled it out and found a whole bunch of tiny pinholes in the bottom where it rested on the plywood. Look for Mueller tanks (Plastic) on Amazon. I did and ended getting mine from an RV

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank

Agreed with Dennis. Be careful when you measure the old tank. Mine had the filler tube coming out of the tank on the top but then had a right angle in the filler tube which the filler hose fit over. I had a bear of a time finding a Moeller tank which fit, because they have the filler tube coming

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank

The whole boat is old. If new is the criterion for peace of mind, then you need a new boat. Not leaking and you are not departing on a world trip, then I wouldn't worry about it. If a leak ever develops it is unlikely to start out big and it won't stop you from getting home. What can suddenly s

Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain

Our hull is Awlgripped, probably 10 or more years ago. When we washed it this spring I was asked by several people if we had just had the boat painted, it still looks that good. Awlgrip lasts a very long time. Don't wax it and do not put Poly Glow on it, just clean it now and then. Ken H. On Sa

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank

Had a similar experience to Gary when I repowered my 38 in 2010. Had noticed diesel smell, but could not find any leaks in the lines or fittings. While the engine was out I pulled the old tank to get access for another project and discovered several pinholes in the bottom of the 20 gallon aluminum

Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain

Lisle; My 41 year old 38 just had her second paint job last fall. The previous one was over 20 years old, and looking a bit worse for wear - but had gotten very little maintenance in the 14 years since I bought her. The instructions for maintaining the new paint job are to wash regularly wi

Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain

AwlCare is good stuff. I use it on Touche's 4 year old Awlcraft 2000 paint about every 6 months. It's very easy to apply and polish. Can do entire boat in about 2-3 hours. Nice shine when done. Recommended. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Sat, Sep 9, 2017 at 11:06 AM, Rick Brass

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 140, Issue 42

Fred Abrasions on Awlgrip can be a problem. If you look on their website there's information of repairing damage to the surface, but it is a huge undertaking. I had a modicum of success with dock abrasions by using a kit from the auto parts store I had laying around that was for polishing hea

Neil, Curious as to how you removed the fuel tank on your 35-1, as I've been concerned about our tank, but looks like a daunting task to remove the tank. Hervey Machen Ciothog 35-1, #115 Solomons MD ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement 35-1

Hervey, Getting it out was not too difficult, the tank fits out through the lazarette under the starboard seat. My tank was held in place by two galvanized steel straps, corrosion from which caused the leak. Hardest part was undoing the fill and vent connections, had to get to them through

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement 35-1

Like Neil says, removing the tank is not difficult. Last time I pulled mine took less than an hour. I needed to get to the strut bolts. The concern is the elbow on the fill hose. If you damage it, replacement may be difficult. Gates makes an elbow that can be cut to fit but you may need a coup
