Re: Stus-List Odile
Yup. I've been waking up every few hours to check www.eebmike.com just because I know a lot of people in La Paz. While the eye disintegrated after hitting Cabo straight on, the center of the thing shifted east and is now directly over La Paz, down to a Cat 2. Sheesh, I was all provisioned up and spent weeks waiting for a three day sailing window to head north and spend the summer there again, but this summer it was all northerlies or dead calm in June so I said heck with it and stayed over here. (I didn't want a three day motorboat ride.) Now I'm grateful. That's the seventh storm to hit Cat 4 or greater this season. Sheesh. Wal you wrote: Wal, Glad you are safe!

Stus-List Replacement fuel sender for Landfall 38
Hi, Does anyone recognize the fuel sender in the photo at the link below? This is the sender which was in the fuel tank on my 38LF. I don't think it is the original as it appears the tank has previously been replaced. I have the fuel tank at home all cleaned out and nicely painted(no smiley yet). I don't have a decent photo of the fuel gauge(it may be original), and I am hoping on purchasing a new sender before going down to the boat. I am thinking about replacing the old unit with a Moeller reed switch (MOE 03576510 15in tank depth) which comes calibrated to 33-240 Ohms(is this a standard?). I tried measuring the resistance of the old unit but it is toast. Any input on the type of old sender or on the reliability of the new reed switch sender is greatly welcomed. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99269361/old-sender.jpg - Paul E. 1981 CC Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List Atomic 4 troubleshooting
Danny, FWIW, here is a really primitive, but effective, way to test the ignition system. Get a plant spray bottle, fill with water, with engine running in low light, spray mist around the plug and coil wires. Look for arcing. Sounds like a fuel issue to me.

It ran perfectly and now I have fully charged batteries! Lol. The coil is hot but not too hot to touch. I can touch it for a few seconds but then it stays to hurt a bit. My guess is about 180 degrees based on my years working on boilers. Now, it was not under any load but I didn't think that would matter much if it were the coil that caused the slow stall. If it is the gas tank I guess maybe, not bouncing in waves keeps anything that might be settled at the bottom, settled at the bottom and riding through any 2 or 3 foot seas stirred things up... Now, the gas tank is pretty low. I really don't want to pull it now as I don't want to lose any potential sailing days that are left. I have to say, I've only been using the engine to get in and out of mooring fields and she has worked perfectly. Starts easily, runs smooth, idles low... I should be happy... I'm still a little perplexed. But, can I rule out the ignition based on today's 2 hour test?

Re: Stus-List Replacement fuel sender for Landfall 38
I replaced a similar unit like your old unit with the Moeller reed switch style on my CC 41 ( 1986 model), and am very happy with. I am particularly pleased with the lack of moving parts, immersed in the fuel, and the sealed reed switch design. No need to calibrate, if the tank is reasonably rectangular, if you know the depth, and Moeller has a depth unit to match. As I recall, the screw holes for the Moeller also matched the pattern for the old model.

Re: Stus-List Rain inside mast?
Like the replies so far, lots of places for rain to get in and run to the bilge via a keel stepped mast. I don't worry about it but if it really bothers you, seal the halyard exit plates where they meet the mast. You may have to drill out rivets and refasten them to do it properly. Look at any cable entries, VHF, Anchor light, Windex light, etc. Seal them and put a drip loop on them. That is, configure them so the cable runs down then turns up into the opening in the mast. You'll still have leaks from the masthead sheaves, axles, any halyard entries, and from condensation. If you work hard, you may be able to eliminate 70% of the rain. You'll never get it all. In my opinion, not worth the effort. Dennis C.
