Stus-List Navtec pump service on Upper Gulf Coast

I had my Navtec pump and back stay cylinder rebuilt at Florida Rigging in St Petersburg a couple of years ago. I live in Fort Walton and couldn't find anyone close by to do it. They were easy to work with, and did a great job. Robbie 1980 C&C 40, Thorfinn Fort Walton Beach, FL Sent from my iP

My 40 has a 1 1/4 inch, t track mounted on the side of the boom with a Schaefer Jiffy reef slide/bail that slides up and down the track so you can position the clew attachment point for multiple mainsail reef points. The reefing line goes through a hook that you use to select which reefing cringle

Stus-List Additional forward bilge pump

Rather than plumb in a couple of check valves or another thru hull, why don't you just get a small automatic pump and pump the forward bilge into the rear bilge. Let the big bilge pump do all the heavy lifting.. Robbie C&C 40 Sent from my iPad > On Apr 14, 2016, at 6:37 PM, cnc-list-requ...@c

Chris, A few things. First, I've never seen a switch in the negative battery leads. Not sure what that's all about but as long as it's set to ALL, it's probably not hurting anything. Second, you might try checking the battery charger fuses. The Truecharge has two 15 amp fuses under the wiri

I can tell you for sure the tanks in my 1980 C&C 40 are the 5060 on page 31. Several years ago I ordered a special unit like the 5060 that was only 30 inches long (so now only 20 gallons) to make room for an air conditioning unit. It was a piece of cake. It fit perfectly on the bunks and does

I had the same problem on my 1980 C&C 40. Zern Rigging in Pensacola, FL has a machine shop, and they retipped the spreader ends. They are beefier now than stock, and will probably outlive the boat. He went through all the possible speaker tip vendors looking for something that could be readily

Dennis, If you need it back quicker, you could send it to SECO South in St Pete, 727-536-1924. They are a Navtec certified repair house and they usually have the seal kits in house. I had mine done there a couple of years ago. I think it was a little over $300 including the seal kit. Robbie E.

Sludge in the tank definitely has to go, but I had an interesting situation one time that may be relevant to the engine stopping problem. One time while motor sailing on a starboard tack, trying to get back to port before a nasty squall line came in, the engine quit without warning. I had a qu
