Re: Stus-List Keel bolt torque

Josh, I agree with your assessment of why they recommend against extensions.  I used to use a 4:1 multiplier to torque fuse bolts on bomb bodies (650 foot-lb).  It is a true challenge to support the multiplier without an extension.  With an extension, I strongly agree with using a support.  T

Re: Stus-List Keel bolt torque

Josh, Depends on the material used (i.e., Snap-on vs. Harbor Freight). Assuming the extension is made from a quality alloy steel such as 4130, the shear stress at 350 ft-lb would be about 32 ksi (help stamp out metric in my lifetime).  This assumes the extension diameter is 7/8 so that they c

Re: Stus-List New thought re: anchor light?

Shawn, You can get LED teardrop bow lights from marinebeam.com.  We replaced the bow lights on Glenn Gambels C&C 36 with a pair. I am always impressed with the intensity of them. I replaced my pulpit mounted lights and teaming/deck with Marine Beam lights.  I haven't replaced the masthead tr

Re: Stus-List Stuffing box leak rates

Bruce, Designed Aircraft hydraulic electric motor pumps,  We used 20 drops per CC, which is consistent with 1.14 gal per day.  The Phosphate Ester fluid used has a specific gravity of .975 so it is a little thinner than water but close enough.  That said, if you a dripping at 1 drop per secon

Re: Stus-List Keel movement in C&C 24

If you lubricate the threads, reduce the torque by 10%.  The torque values on the list (which I generated decades ago) are based on dry threads.  They calculate a little high on the nebulous yield strengths of stainless steels.  Be careful going on the high side. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #

Re: Stus-List Helicoils

Helicoils are great things! We used to wet install helicoils with a poly imide epoxy primer for both galvanic isolation and as a thread locker building precision guided munitions.  If you can find poly imide epoxy in anything less than gallon sizes it is very useful anytime you need to install

Re: Stus-List Fuel Transfer Pump

Edd, I use a battery operated pump that fits in a 5 gallon can to fill my Kubota tractor and my kerosene heater.  We also used it on Glenn Gambel's C&C 36 when he had a temporary tank installed while motoring across Lake Michigan to get to Milwaukee for a Queens Cup Race.  We refueled in mid

Re: Stus-List Loong Sails

We just took delivery of a new main and 140% Jib from the UK loft in Chicago.  They came out and measured the boat to fit the sails.  We weren't sure if we were going to get our sails this season since Illinois is in tighter lock down than Michigan was but the loft was making masks and finishin

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

Just to clarify the clarifications, the force will be the area of the piston minus the area of the rod.  The adjuster is pulling the wire/rod. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Whitehall, Michigan WLYC On 6/11/2020 9:01 AM, Joe Della Barba via CnC-List wrote: If the gauge was special

Stus-List C&C 35 Mark III

OK Mark III owners, our C&C 35-3 "signs" with speeds between about 4.5 to 5 knots.  It is a definite harmonic signing that I have never been able to isolate.  We have a 2 blade fixed prop and sail with the transmission in neutral.  I am not complaining, I love it when she goes into singing mode

Stus-List C&C 35, Mk 1 &2 Cove Stripe

Our Redwing 35 (C&C 35 Mk1, Hull #7) had a cove stripe but not stars and daggers.  Of course it also didn't have the port in the galley over the sink either.  George told me that the none of the first twelve Redwing 35's (on the line at the same time) were the same.  They tried different little

Glen, I sent a cockpit cover to Hervey Machen back in 2018.  It was recovered from our lost C&C 35 Mk I.  If Hervey is still on the list maybe he can chime in.  This cover went from the boom to the backstay and was made from sail dacron. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Whitehall,
