Looks normal to me. The chalk gives it a whiter haze look. Remove that and the true color comes out. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Sat, Jun 6, 2020, 22:52 General Gao via CnC-List wrote: > Hi everyone, > > The hull of my boat has not been polished/waxed for a few seas

Take a look at another product...Nu-glass.   Wipe the cleaner on then wipe the liquid on. Easy, simple and no rubbing/buffing.If I remember,  $59.00 a kit and I used 2 kits for my 38 with some left over. No waxing for a year.Jim Schwartz  38 landfall SEA YA !Washington nc Sent from my Verizon, Sa

Re: Stus-List polishing

I think you would have much better luck if you rub it down with Finesse- it, and then a coat of Rejex polish. I know, you probably don't want to redo what you've already done, though. Bill On Sat, Jun 6, 2020, 10:52 PM General Gao via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > >

Re: Stus-List Yamaha 4hp 2 cycle

Follow my carb tuning video. Post back with questions. https://youtu.be/caIdvC8WGDg Sounds like the idle/throttle screw (T) is keeping the butterfly open too far with no throttle applied. It just so happens that in gear there is enough load to slow 'er down. At full throttle is sounds like pro

Re: Stus-List Yamaha 4hp 2 cycle

If it seems to lose power on the top end, that a good indicator that the engine is running lean. If your oil/ fuel mixture ratio is off with too much oil, your “fuel” may not have enough gas to mix with oxygen to provide enough power. A good way to determine a lean burn is 1. Check the spark p

Re: Stus-List polishing

Another useful coating option is Poli-Glow. But… you must get rid of all the old chalked on oxidation before using, or you will encapsulate the oxidation under many coats of the Glow. There is Poli-Prep which does a pretty good job on the oxidation, and PoliOx which is even stronger. Poli-Glow i

Bo I assume from the picture, the forward section is that which is yellowish.   You used Meguair Wax #50 which is a combination cleaner and polish.   This, or similar products, may not be the best to start restoring a heavy oxidized gelcoat surface. The combination cleaner and wax will lift

Re: Stus-List polishing

I +1 on the Collinite. But it is quite a bit of work, especially, if the hull was not pristine before. In my case it required quite a bit of elbow grease (it shows quite nicely the difference between the clean gelcoat and not so clean). Marek 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa, ON Sent from Mail

New portlight windows.  Finally got them installed!  Not perfect but huge, huge improvement. Locally cut acryllic grey 2064 tint, VHB tape, Dow Corning 795.  Worked great. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WYCCczEPXAoEni186 Peter C.84 Landfall 35Westbrook, CT Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, J

Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

I am ticking away at the list of to-dos in order to get Freya off of the hard and in the water. Thoughts have gone to actually sailing her and not just all the things that need to be done to a boat that was left on the hard and forgotten for a few years. In looking at the rigging today, I was remin

Re: Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

Hi David. We don't race much, just a yearly overnight race, we don't have running backs and have never felt the need.  The boat doesn't look like it was ever set up for them, and it is one of the original "Labatt Canada Challenge" boats - so was raced hard. I'm interested if this was a uniqu

Re: Stus-List New Windows 1987 MKIII

Your portlights look great. I've been working on mine and today finally removed all the old Plexus using a combination of heat gun and chisel and angle grinder with flap disc where the stuff was very thick. Spent most of the day on it. Hope my new ones look as good. Have to wait till after I

Re: Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

Hi David, My boat has both runners and checkstays but I have a bendy rig on a C&C 34R. Not sure my experience applies to your boat. Saildata shows the 35 MkIII without runners. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-35-3 Do you possibly have an inner headstay, (Solent) and the running backstay

Re: Stus-List New Windows 1987 MKIII

My window project snowballed into a similar paint the topsides and deck after some of the Plexus came out in big chunks. Those chunks needed to be filled which needed paint over top which looked way better than the old paint and so it started... Derek McLeod Aileron, 1983 C&C 29-2 Toronto > On

Re: Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

I, too, have a Labatt Challenge boat, and it didn't come with running backstays. I just replaced my mast with a mast from Selden. I had a choice of a smaller mast section with running backstays and a babystay, or a heavier mast section without running backs. Selden no longer makes the same mast sec
