Stus-List *Reminder #1* October 26, 27, 28 - 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous

Hey folks, This is a friendly reminder for the rendezvous deadline to register with the Annapolis Harbor master (Beth) for a slip. She asked that we get as many registrations in by March 31st as possible. It was brought to my attention that moorings cannot be reserved. When I checked with Beth,

Josh, I have some corporate swag that I can send - pens and collapsable nylon backpacks. Please let me know off-list how many you need and an address to send them to before April 7. Looks like I won’t be able to attend the rendezvous due to business travel, but happy to help along the way. A

Stus-List Head Replacement

Listers, I’m looking to replace my Jabsco manual electric-conversion head on my C&C 37+ to a better electric one. While Jabsco makes a “Lite” version which has the same mounting holes and same connections as the one I’m replacing, I’d like to consider other manufacturers as well. Has anyone d

Edd, More than likely its hollow under the head platform. What I have done on several boats is to tap the fiberglass for a 1/4-20 thread. I always prefer to tap instead using a coarse threaded sheet metal or wood type screw. Holds better with much less gelcoat chipping. I have used the Jabsco "

Several years ago, I replaced the original W/C Head Mate with a Jabsco Manual head. I'm happy with the product. I chose Jabsco in part because several charters I have taken in the BVI, all the heads, both manual and electric were Jabsco's. An earlier posting on this site suggested the charter compa

On the new boat I have a new Jabsco Twist and Lock manual head going in forward, and a Techma Easy fit electric head going in the aft head. It will be set up to flush with either fresh or--when offshore--salt water. These came well recommended by a pal who's an expert in that field. Andy formerly

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

Thanks Ken! I used black starboard. 1" thick. 12"x12" pieces are available from McMaster-Carr for about $35. Knowing that ultimately my starting size would need to be roughly 5"x5"x2", I decided that a 12"x12"x1" piece was going to be the smallest usable and available size. https://www.mcmaste

Re: Stus-List Materials for a hard bimini?

Joel, did you think about just using King Starboard for the entire project? I had my dodger made by a company who used 1/2 thick starboard. They plastic welded a track for the canvas sides and windows. Someone was recently posting about a similar company who IIRC was quoting $1500 for a bimini.

Hi Joel I tried that a few years ago with my dodger. I used the old frame for the shape and FRP from Home Depot. Tried laminating two pieces of FRP together. It wasn’t rigid enough. Also someone told me they are made with polyester resin not epoxy. If you google hard dodger I’m sure ther

There’s a West System product (not the regular epoxy) that I used to bond starboard to wood due to its high adhesive strength for plastic. I think it’s called G-Flex or something. There’s a prep procedure which includes lightly torching the surface of the plastic. I made a shelf for the cockp
