Re: Stus-List removing portlight sealant

A sharp razor blade works wonders, failing that, high-speed carbide tools..
Bulk removal with chemicals is pointless.

Re: Stus-List wheel squeak

[ahycrace via CnC-List]

Sailing down Narragansett bay a few years ago broad reach 7kts we hear a loud 
BANG and no steering. Get the sails down and anchor. We look under the cockpit 
and see that the idler plate is so rusted that one of the pullys has pulled 
right off. Get the emergency tiller out and attach it motor homea very bad 
day! Check that plate and all of the attached pullys. Edson has all the 
replacements if needed. I have pics of the bad plate before i took it off. I 
can post them when we get home we are in Newport watching the J class boats 
race.

Re: Stus-List wheel squeak 
Richard,Make sure to use a non-petroleum based lubricant for the bearings that 
support the wheel shaft (such as Superlube or other Teflon based grease).  
Don’t squirt WD-40 or any light weight spray  lubricant into the grease holes 
as it will tend to flush any lube out of the nylon caged bearings.  You can 
also check to see if the bearings are worn if you can move the wheel shaft up 
and down, or side to side.  There should be no play in the shaft at all.. Edson 
does sell a “pedestal rebuild kit” that includes bearings, circlips and all the 
other thrust washers and replacement components for the wheel shaft.  If you go 
down that road, I’d also take the time to replace the brake shoes if everything 
else is apart. The other possibility for your squeaky noise is the sheave pins 
(axles) for the bronze idler wheels.  They ride on plain bushings and in the 
“old days” the axles were also bronze, which will wear out eventually and allow 
the sheaves to go flying into the bilge under tension at the worst possible 
time.  If those have never been checked, replaced with stainless pins, or 
lubricated as described in Edson’s steering maintenance instructions, I would 
certainly do so.  Once the sheave pins wear, the sheaves go out of alignment 
and the squeaking you hear may be the axles getting ready to let go.   Finally, 
the Edson Idler plate at the base of the pedestal is generally made of mild 
steel below the deck.  Not terribly subjected to the elements, but they can and 
will eventually start to rust.  Once that happens, sheaves, cable alignments 
and other critical steering components can be affected, so check for a rusty 
idler plate as well as wobbly sheave uprights. Whatever you do, don’t wait for 
it to fail to fix it..  Boats without steering are not safe by any stretch of 
the imagination.  The folks at Edson are very good at walking you through what 
you need and they have data sheets on most every C Steering system they sold 
for our boats.Cheers,Chuck GilchrestS/V Half Magic1983 35 LandfallPadanaram, MA

Stus-List removing portlight sealant

[Jeremy Ralph via CnC-List]

Hi All,

I'm replacing portlights with VHB taped acrylic. The PO sealed with
Sudbury Elastomeric Sealant (silicon + polyurethane formulation) and screws
through the acrylic, which  I've taken off using a multi-tool scraper.  The
sealant remains a mess -- the heat/friction from the tool seemed to soften
and smear the black sealant.

I've been trying to source some marine debond or adhesive remover that will
play nice with fiberglass.  I did find some Xylene based Auto General
Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (PF600) which looks promising but has a "Warning:
... not recommended for fiberglass..."

Any tips for removing the old sealant?

Thanks,

  Jeremy

Do make sure that with the 35-3, that you and your surveyor research then 
examine very closely the keel stub/mast step area.  Several on this list have 
repaired theirs, and a pro repair is an expensive proposition.

for sale in the fall.

Best of luck,

Well, we went to Charlevoix to look at the 1981 C 32.  Not the boat for us.  
Interior has not been taken care of.  Buckets under the portlights to catch the 
leaks, forward hatch so crazed that it looks like it might break with a big 
rain drop, floor so bad that it was mushy in front the mast and head door.  Too 
bad really, it was really a nice layout.

So, called the owner of the 35 and negotiated a deal over the phone.  We will 
soon be the proud owners of a 1983 C 35, Mark III.  I talked with the 
surveyor that did the previous survey.  He has retired but has agreed to do an 
incremental survey.

Re: Stus-List wheel squeak

[Martin Kane via CnC-List]

I had the rudder out of my  '83 29-2 last winter. The only metal
bushing/bearing is where the post comes thru the cockpit sole. There was
only minimal wear on mine so I didn't replace it. The fit between the rudder
post and fibreglass rudder tube is tight and there is no stuffing box like
on the prop shaft. There is just a tube which acts as a long
bushing/bearing. If the grease in the tube has gone hard, then injecting
fresh won't clear out the old grease. If you decide to drop the rudder be
careful as it is only held in place by the two set screws in collar that
sits on top of the post. I'd guess it weighs about a 100lbs and doesn't
really have any good hand holds. So not that easy to work with. When the
boat on the hard I can move the rudder from stop to stop with the pressure
from one finger.

Hello.

 

On a similar note

The wheel on my 1986 29-2 has been stiff since purchase 3 years ago.I
have lube'd everything in the steering system that was recommended by folks
on this list including pumping fresh waterproof grease into the rudder post
stuffing box thru a zerk fitting (with old grease pushing out of the top).
I read a post some time ago indicating that there is likely a bushing at the
top of the rudder post where it enters the cockpit sole - at the emergency
tiller steering unit.  Wondering if anyone knows whether the 80's vintage
C 29-2's also have  bushing/bearings down in the rudder post stuffing box
?If yes,  also wondering if anyone knows where I can get replacement
bushings or will I have to get someone to make them?

I am borrowing a trailer to haul the boat and on a pretty tight time
schedule so would like to have parts in hand before I haul.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago I was boat shopping for a 35-3 and looked at several; 
fell in love with every one of them; but for one thing or another, a deal never 
happened, then I came upon a 37 in Newburyport MA and things clicked; so now I 
consider that I have a "big" 35-3...!

One worthwhile addition to a 35/3:  I ran a piece of 1 inch SS tubing from
the mast back to the pole that is forward of the steps using bimini
fittings so there was a centerline handrail from the galley to the mast.

Wow...almost missed a chance to brag about my boat?!!  I've been trying to
cruise the Grand Traverse area of Lake Michigan, and got weathered in.
Heading to Charlevoix tomorrow, then hopefully home to St Ignace.   Great
week if it were October!!

My 35-3 is a 1985, and just love the boat.  Never a problem, until now.
Check the rear shaft seal on the transmission.  Mine developed a leak, and
although no apparent damage, need to have it fixed.  Apparently a potential
issue on 30+ year old boats, so check engine oil and tranny levels and in
the bilge for drips!  This is a boat that draws admiring dockwalkers
wherever we go, and even once had a ziplock bag with a "I would like to
purchase if for sale" note inside!   Never before had an issue with
anything mechanical or rig, but consistently upgrading helps.
Congratulations on your boat purchase(s).

I have to agree with Joe about the interior volume of the CatBenHun boats.
Wide beam carried well aft on the newer designs makes for lots of interior
room. Much more than on any of the boats designed in the 1980s.

 

That said, none of the newer Catalinas or Hunters I've been aboard (which
includes several models from 33 to about 45 feet) seem to be set up as good

Re: Stus-List 1983 C 35 mark 3 new purchase

[Jerome Tauber via CnC-List]

I owned a C 24, 29-2 and 27-5.   I just sold my 27-5 and bought a Hunter 37.5 
1993 with a friend.  We wanted a boat that had two private berths.  He is more 
of a cruiser and I like a performance boat.  We looked at a number of boats.  
My first choice was a Tartan 372 but we compromised on the Hunter.  It had a 
reputation for being a good sailor and the interior volume is enormous for a 37 
foot boat.  It has a compromised 5' wing keel.  I've sailed it all season and 
can say it is definitely not a C  Off the wind and on a broad reach it 
performs very well but does not point as well as a C with a fin. It has a J 
boat type rig.  Huge mainsail and small fractional head sail with a bendy 
tapered mast.  Sails are old and it needs some go fast upgrades such as a 
backstay adjuster, folding prop and rigid vang.  The aft cabin is huge and well 
ventilated.  And of course the price is well below a C of that era.  I'm just 
across Gardners Bay from Greenport and may stop by for the rendezvous.   Jerry

I think her biggest gripe is that it's not a Tartan 40 or better yet a trawler.

Congrats on the C 35 MK3. I own a 1984 MK3, am in 1st place in our Wednesday 
night racing series and enjoy the boat immensely. It's a pleasure to sail. 

My wife, the boss doesn't race and would like to have more of a "cruiser". So 
although this will be a very hard decision for me I may be putting the boat up 
for sale in the fall. 

Best of luck,

Well, we went to Charlevoix to look at the 1981 C 32. Not the boat for us. 
Interior has not been taken care of. Buckets under the portlights to catch the 
leaks, forward hatch so crazed that it looks like it might break with a big 
rain drop, floor so bad that it was mushy in front the mast and head door. Too 
bad really, it was really a nice layout. 

So, called the owner of the 35 and negotiated a deal over the phone. We will 
soon be the proud owners of a 1983 C 35, Mark III. I talked with the surveyor 
that did the previous survey. He has retired but has agreed to do an 
incremental survey.

Do make sure that with the 35-3, that you and your surveyor research then 
examine very closely the keel stub/mast step area. Several on this list have 
repaired theirs, and a pro repair is an expensive proposition.

Re: Stus-List 1983 C 35 mark 3 new purchase

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

If you look at any recent CatBenHun in the 34-36 foot range, any version 
of the C 35 is going to seem quite small and cramped. Any of the 35s 
will of course sail 10x better, but that does not always matter to some 
people.


Warning - the "have to have it" aft double bunk under the cockpit is a 
long way from the air coming down the forward hatch and right next to 
the hot engine. It may not be the cruising paradise your wife thinks it 
is ;)

Well, we went to Charlevoix to look at the 1981 C 32.  Not the boat 
for us.  Interior has not been taken care of.  Buckets under the 
portlights to catch the leaks, forward hatch so crazed that it looks 
like it might break with a big rain drop, floor so bad that it was 
mushy in front the mast and head door.  Too bad really, it was really 
a nice layout.


So, called the owner of the 35 and negotiated a deal over the phone. 
 We will soon be the proud owners of a 1983 C 35, Mark III.  I 
talked with the surveyor that did the previous survey.  He has
