Re: Stus-List UCCG documentation warning going around

[RANDY via CnC-List]

Dave I am glad to hear that. I wish the "U.S. VESSEL DOCUMENTATION" notice 
hadn't arrived in my mail first. 

Incidentally the link below appears to be broken; I can't find any such article 
on cruisersnet.net. But it's interesting, because somebody else must have 
gotten burned and posted about it there. The only place I've posted about it is 
here. 

It makes me wonder if U.S. Vessel Documentation threatened cruisersnet.net and 
/ or the author of that article with defamation, and bullied them into taking 
the article down. 

For the record I am not worried about my own liability for defamation if U.S. 
Vessel Documentation were to threaten or bring a suit against me for it. I 
don't believe U.S. Vessel Documentation as a plaintiff would be able to show, 
as required, that the statements I made (that it is deceitful and predatory) 
are false. Moreover I believe my statements are protected by "qualified 
privilege", i.e. my statements were made in good faith, and on a subject matter 
in which I have an interest, and to persons having a corresponding interest, 
and without malice. 

But, having said all that, Stu, if you're reading this, and if you're worried 
about legal exposure, it's OK with me if you delete these threads. I think they 
have served their purpose. I wouldn't want any harm to come to Stu and / or 
cncphotoalbum.com as a result of these threads.

Stus-List Flushing the cooling system?

[robert via CnC-List]

Bruce,
I have a Yanmar 2GMF and have flushed it of coolant then then flushed 
with fresh water and refill the coolant system.


I don't know your engine but mine was relativity straight forward. My 
engine has three (3) engine coolant system drains (wing nut types on 
valves).seems like 2 on the engine and one on the back of the heat 
exchangerand there clear pieces of hoses from the outlet of each 
value so you can actually see the coolant in the hose and direct the 
outflow to a container.  Drain the coolant and close the outlets and 
refill with water only.circulatedrain.fill with coolant.


My fresh water has a drain when opened drains to the bilge.open it, 
empty the tank, flush, empty again..close the value and fill it via 
the pressured fresh water tank.


Maybe this helps.

Re: Stus-List Flushing the cooling system?

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

The problem with "flushing" is that from an environmental perspective
you'll probably want to collect what coolant you can.  Now disconnecting
the hoses and using a shop-vac to blow out the coolant with air would
probably work.  Why do you want to flush out the system?  If you're worried
about the efficacy of the coolant you can just test/sample it.  The fresh
water cooling system is pretty unlikely to be the week link along your
delivery trip.  There are lots of projects (they never end) just wait till
you are safe and sound in your home marina and you don't have impending
deadlines bearing down on you.

Re: Stus-List Solar Vent Fan on a 37/40+

Hello Josh,

I can't imagine that dorade vents under the helmsman's seats would have been 
original equipment.  The certainly do not appear on our 1994 37+.  That being 
said, with 1 large forward hatch, 4 small hatches aft and the ports into the 
cockpit, I've been wondering how to get active ventilation when we are off the 
boat.  It seems like a few Nicro vents, installed through the smaller hatches 
would be the logical approach.

That said, as we are new to Florida, I'm not sure what people down here are 
doing, since the boats need to be air conditioned at the dock in summer!

Thoughts anyone?

Edd,  

I've always told myself that when I install solar vents it will be in the port 
and stbd hatches.  I'd set one to blow in and one to suck out.  My thought is 
that this arrangement would draw air across the cabin for better circulation.  
I'm in agreement, I don't want to cut into the acrylic lenses.  Well for that 
matter I don't want to cut into the deck.  I guess that's part of the reason 
I've never installed vents.

I don't know if the PO installed dorad vents under the helmsmans hump of if 
they are original equipment.  I've considered running 12v vent fans and duct 
work to make them more effective.  I could power them from the main battery 
which is kept topped up with 200w solar panels.  I would use a low voltage 
shutoff to only run the fans when the voltage is greater than 12.7v (when the 
batteries are being charged).  The 12v fans are much cheaper than the solar 
ones and I wouldn't have to cut holes in the hatches or lenses.

Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

[Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List]

Hello all,
For those who dropped me a note with interest in my wheel, I'm not ignoring 
you!  I just haven't been back to the boat, and even when I do this weekend, 
will have little time to do anything other than finish up some maintenance 
before moving the boat. 

That being said, based on the comments here, I'll see how thing go through the 
delivery of the boat which will cover about 120 NM and 3 days.  In the end, I 
really expect that my wife will continue to want the smaller wheel, and we'll 
probably come back and offer it to folks here on the list first.  

Stay tuned, I should know more in about 2 -3 weeks time.
Thanks for all your input!!! Bruce Whitmore

I use a plastic spring clamp (my 1st mate keeps lots of stuff like thisaboard). 
I keep it parked on the pedestal support plate when not in useand then use it 
to secure the key in place when the wheel is off.  Ialso put the quick release 
wheel nut back on and throw the now very loosewheel cover over it to keep 
things tidy.

Put a dap of nail polish on the key that will hold it in place (if youuse 
Loctite, don?t put the wheel back on too soon , don?t ask why I knowthis)

Re: Stus-List marinco/shorepower inlet

I watched a boat leave the dock with the power still connected. I am impressed
at how well that locking collar worked. It was the metal one into the metal 
version
of the inlet. Once they got some slack it even undid and they could toss the 
line
back to someone on shore.

  I have seen and replaced several deteriorated updated Marino inlets.  I 
  like the Smart Plug.  Appears to be a superior product.  Would probably 
  replace Touche's Marinco if it got flakey. 

  Having said that, a few preventative steps can make your existing setup 
  safer. I wrap my shore power cord around a winch before plugging it in. 
  That prevents any side forces on the plug.  I also screw the locking collar 
  tight to ensure a tight connection. 

  Look at your inlet configuration.  If the cord is not supported and is 
  hanging or otherwise placing side force on the inlet, devise a way to 
  support it.

I lock the wheel shaft before I remove the wheel and then gravity keeps the key 
in place.  If the key does end up falling it only falls to the cockpit floor.  
I've considered rubber bands and pvc pipe sleeves.  I've even considered a shim 
in the keyway to make the key fit tighter so that friction prevents it from 
falling.  It's just not a problem which is bad enough to command enough of my 
attention to make it better.

Hi,

I like the idea of the Edson Rail Mount, but I have a question for anyone who 
has used one.

How do you ensure that you don't lose the Key from the Wheelshaft?

In the winter when I take the wheel off so I can get to the back of the cockpit 
under the cover, I wrap the Wheelshaft with the key in it with masking tape.  I 
suppose I could do the same while cruising but I am wondering if anyone else 
had a more elegant solution.

About a year ago, I had a problem with bigger-wheel envy and I asked the 
list-perts here about a wheel I subsequently purchased on E-Bay.  It was less 
than 1/16 too small for my Edson 1" shaft and had wheel reamed at a local 
machine shop (as suggested here) to fit.  Went from a 36" to 44" wheel on my 
35-3.

Now the point:  Absolutely best move...other than looking "correct" to my eye, 
I agree with everyone here about the functional upgrade.  Sailing is much 
easier and more options to sit (I also removed the camel-hump).  Girlfriend 
would rather have the room afforded by the old wheel...so I really like your 
link to the Edson rail-mounted storage clamp.  Thanks.
