Re: Stus-List Summer Cruise, Speed and Sticky Situation

Hi Tom The ST60 - I had this issue, it was oddly sensitive to direction - by turning the sensor very slightly it would spring into action. Another lister, who will not be named, had the same issue but it was because his (boat) bottom had 1.5 inches of mussel growth on it. The speed wheel would

Re: Stus-List 33MKii main breaker rating?

Hi Steve I think Dave is talking about the breaker between the battery and the positive buss bars on the electrical panel. On mine the wire from the battery switch goes to a breaker (I think mine is only 50 amp but could be wrong about that), and from the breaker it runs to the electrical pane

Re: Stus-List C&C 30 rudder

Hi Scott If it is manufactured the same way as the 35-3 rudder, the answer is: glass shell, with a welded frame on the stock, filled with foam. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2015-09-11 4:31 PM, Scott via CnC-List wrote: Rudder has had water inside since before I bought it four

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket - inflation

I did a safety at sea course, which involved spending some quality time in the pool wearing full gear and my PFD (inflated). I found it difficult to maneuver with it fully inflated, but could let some out and was able to do the required stuff (swim, climb into the liferaft) with it on. For me

Re: Stus-List bus heater

Hi Mike That should work well. Two comments: 1) make sure stuff can't shift in the locker to contact the fan blades - some of their heaters don't have grills over the back of the fans. 2) you should consider where the air is going to get sucked from as you want to ensure enough of it can get in

Hi Dave There are several areas of hull on the 35-3 that have no core, my speed/depth transducer is located adjacent to the thru-hull fitting for the head discharge and it is solid core there. Looking at the inside of the hull it should be clear where there is core and is no core, as there is a

Wal, if you are gone any amount of time when they fail you have lost the boat anyway - any half decently sized bilge pump will kill the battery. Let's assume a Whale 1000 gallon / hr pump, this will pull 4 amps. The 1000 gallons/hr rating is ideal, like mileage ratings on cars, so in real li
