Stus-List replacing a wheel autopilot motor

I just posted some information about replacing the DC motor in a wheel autopilot. The motor in my SPX-5 recently died. I purchased the same motor which Raymarine uses for $6.95, installed it, and it’s working. If anyone is interested, here is the link: http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2015

Patrick, My mainsheet block is attached to the mast collar. I have a block lead like the one you mention, it is used for the rigid vang control, in my case a Selden Rodkicker 20. I have a photo of the set up on the blog where I describe replacing the gas shock for the rodkicker. http://sv

Re: Stus-List Anchor locker lid attachment

Patrick, I don’t think the piano hinges on your anchor locker are original C&C. I have 6” SS strap hinges which are bolted through the cover and the deck. I replaced mine old broken hinges with new ones, overfilling the old holes with thickened epoxy and re-drilling as typically suggested.

Re: Stus-List Lemon oil cause mildew? Use Borax

Hi, One of the best ways to kill mold and to stop it from coming back is to use a mixture of Borax and warm water (1 cup to 1 gallon). It turns out that it is the alkalinity not acidity that kills mold. Here is an interesting read: http://moldblogger.com/how-borax-kills-mold/ - Paul E. 19

Re: Stus-List Vessel Documentation

Hi, As many have already pointed out that in addition to the benefits in foreign waters, documentation may be preferred by some insurance companies or required by lenders, and if you want to charter then documentation is also needed. Up until recently documentation required a one time fee with

While clearly not a perk and extremely unlikely to occur, I read that a documented vessel can be requisitioned in a national emergency. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Jan 14, 2016, at 9:47 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.c

I should add that trick to speed up the documentation process only works for boats built in the USA. (An advantage for C&C’s built at the Rhode Island plant.) > On Jan 14, 2016, at 9:47 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:46:30 -0500 &

John, You should give White Water Marine a call. http://www.whitewatermarineinc.com/ladders.html Like you, I did not have a transom ladder on my boat. I was able to get measurements and photos from several kind members on the list. I called se

Re: Stus-List Qest plumbing question

Hi, I would look into using Flair-it fittings. They are easy to install, require no special tools, work on both pex and polybutly(Quest), and are easily found at your local Ace hardware store. Sounds like a $5-$10 fix. http://www.acehardware.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1260873&f=PAD%2FBr
