Re: Stus-List Newly Acquired CnC 25 MKII

Check for loose nuts under the hull-deck joint. On my old 25, several had worked loose over the years and were causing drips. Tighten them just a little, until they’re snug. As others have pointed out, you don’t want to squeeze all of the butyl out of the joint. From: Bill Coleman Sent: Sunday

Re: Stus-List Yanmar woes - raw water leak?

How about the stuffing box? When I bought my current boat, it dripped a little more than normal in neutral, but really opened up when the diesel was in gear. It sprayed the entire engine compartment. -Original Message- From: Colin Kilgour Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 10:36 PM To:

I wouldn’t want to be in the Gulfstream right now. Seas are supposed to be 17 to 20 feet off Fort Lauderdale, probably “square waves” because the wind has a northerly component. Jack Brennan Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Former C&C 25 Fort Lauderdale, Fl. From: Dennis C. Sent: Friday, Octobe
