Re: Stus-List winter condensation

I hang the CaCl in nylon stockings over big buckets in the v-berth, head, and salon. Cut nylon in half, fill each leg 1/2 way, lasts about a month and no worries about overflow. Plus my girlfriend loves it when I use her nylons for stuff like that. Someone mentioned mold/mildew formation. I

Hello. I am looking for advice on the same topic for my 86 29-2 so anything that answers Bob's questions below will be greatly appreciated by myself as well. I hauled after purchase a year ago and the rudder was badly blistered. I only had a week to work with (and a gazillion things to do) a

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

Is it safe to switch between 1-BOTH-2 while the engine is running? I have gotten mixed messages about that. Haven't tried and am starting/charging in the BOTH position assuming therefore that banks are in parallel and both are charging. But, read somewhere that it is bad form to charge diff

Stus-List Mounting new head in 29-2 - bolt pattern mismatch

Hello. I pulled the existing Brydon head from my 29-2 and am installing a new Jabsco. The existing bolts appear to be bedded into the fiberglass pan that the head sits on and of course the bolt pattern for the new head does not match these. There is no access to the underside of the pan.

Re: Stus-List mast collar tangs C& C 33-2

Hi Doug. I had the same problem on my 29-2. Installed the mast for the first time after transport, tuned the rigging, everything set up and then... found the tangs in a galley drawer where I had stored them for transport. I had to slacken all rigging before I could get the holes to align.

Re: Stus-List Update to Broken Mast

When a friend dismasted his Catalina 28 the insurance company offered basically the same thing. He found and modified the rigging of a mast that came off (I think) a J24 or J29 at a huge discount to new. He used the rest of the money to have a professional glass monkey fix issues relating to t

Hello. I have downloaded a couple of gif images from the web for the Cinkel Steering Maintenance Guide. They are very low resolution scans and therefore almost illegible. Wondering if anyone has a higher resolution image they can share? Thanks. Bruce 29-2 Gyrfalcon Kootenay Lake, BC __

Re: Stus-List I am so done with bilge pumps...

After reading your post I decided to forgo check valves on both primary and secondary bilge pumps and had the same experience with recycling bilge water. Installed Whale Gusher check valves this spring and they both leak. It takes about 30 minutes for leakage to top the electronic float and

Re: Stus-List Thoughts on bilge pumps and check valves AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL....
