Re: Stus-List Cockpit Drains to Thru-Hulls

Rick — are you sure about this? If he does this, and has the drains exit above the waterline, the cockpit will never drain when heeled; the water won’t be able to run uphill! Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( On Jan 12, 2014, at

Re: Stus-List Installing Dickinson propane heater in C&C 30 Mk1

I installed a Dickinson on my 30mkI (P-9000), and have done so on my LF38 (P-12000). On the 30mkI, I installed it as low above the starboard settee cushions as I could and still get the propane and wiring into it. The coaxial flue pipe went up through the ventilator box just like you’re descri

Re: Stus-List Autohelm St4000 how it should work with the GPS

Curt — it’s been my experience that pretty much NO equipment uses the same color wire for the same thing, even among equipment from the same manufacturer. You need to connect the NMEA0183 output wires from the GPS to the NMEA0183 input wires on the autopilot; TX+ and TX- on the Garmin to RX+ an

Re: Stus-List Autohelm St4000 how it should work with the GPS

Curt — seriously, read the installation manual for the ST4000. It NEEDS to have the fluxgate compass input; it does NOT get heading info from GPS, nor could it, as heading does not equal course over ground (COG) in most cases. Hook that thing back up! Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1

Re: Stus-List Chartplotter Question

Steve — you might consider one of the new Raymarine “a” series displays; cheaper than the e7, and they play well together on the Seatalk HS/Raynet network. Even the smallest a65 has the network connection, and can share all the data and control the system. Advantages over the iPad solution are
