Nope.  I have Nexus Classic instruments with a NMEA 0183 multiplexer with

Thinking there are other programs out there that have same or better

Stus-List Solar panel install

[Len Mitchell via CnC-List]

Mike, Maybe it doesn’t need to be said but fuses are overlooked in newly 
installed boat batteries and electrical charging systems. Also make sure the 
wire is marine grade wire and large enough to carry maximum charging amps the 
distance required. Sorry if that’s a repeat after the course you took. I only 
connected to my house bank but I have a combiner if I ever run into a problem. 
Have never needed the combiner to start. If you use an ACR, make sure it’s 
capable of the load. If one battery is empty and the other is full when the 
relay switches over the amperage is pretty big at first. (Just a guess but 
maybe as high as 100 amps?) My first system was 120 Watts and the next 240 
Watts. If you aren’t sure oversize the wire and charge controller now, then you 
can just add another panel, it’s not that much more $.

Re: Stus-List 33-2 owners who have purchased a mantus or rocna anchor. What size did you get?

[Paul Fountain via CnC-List]

We have a 22 lb delta with 25’ of chain on our 33-LLP, used it both in North 
Carolina and now on Lake Ontario with no issues. While in NC, a friend borrowed 
it to use as his primary anchor during a hurricane (we had hauled out for it) 
and it held well for him.

FWIW Doug, and for summer  cruising a 33-2  in Lake Ontario, I’ve found that my 
10kg BRUCE with 50’ Of chain is more than adequate, and is probably as much 
weight as I’d like in the bow anyway.  (Also, as much as I’d like to retrieve 
without a windlass)
My dad (experienced ocean sailor and Great Lakes) told me that the we’d rarely 
extend the chain at anchor and he was right.   Had experimented with a larger 
anchor and it did not stow as neatly, which, overall was more of an issue in 
practice.  So, my $.02 - you are probably more than fine with the smaller, 
easier to stow option.

Re: Stus-List Solar panel - how to hook one up?

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Mike and Edd,

Actually, the right (?) way is to connect to the _house_ battery (bank of 
batteries) and then use a combiner or the ACR (or the Echo Charger) to charge 
the starting battery.

The rationale behind is that the starting battery does not need much charge; 
your house bank is the one that needs replenishing.

However, if you don't have the ACR and don't want to install one, and you can 
afford it, a dual charge controller is an easy way out. One that David mention 
is an option. I use the Morningstar Sunsaver Duo 
(https://www.morningstarcorp.com/products/sunsaver-duo/). I added the remote 
panel that shows the voltages and the charge (Ah) put into the batteries. This 
controller also has a setting that allows for 50/50 or 90/10 charging. I use 
the 90/10 setting (90 to the house, 10 to the starting battery). The beauty of 
it is that it charges the house battery first, but when it is full (or close 
to), all the spare current is going to the starting battery, anyway.

An extra point to consider - don't skimp on the cables leading from the solar 
panel to the controller. They will be long and you will have some voltage drop. 
If you get better cables (i.e. thicker), the voltage drop would be less.

Re: Stus-List 33-2 owners who have purchased a mantus or rocna anchor. What size did you get?

[Doug Welch via CnC-List]

Thanks Rick,     Most of my overnight anchoring experience has been on charters 
in the Caribbean. On my boat we primarily stay at reciprocal yacht clubs or 
marinas on Lake Ontario and only anchor overnight for the fun of doing so. The 
anchorages we use are very protected and it's very unlikely that we would be 
caught out in a big blow.  I think I am going to go with the Mantus 25 for the 
ease of storage and retrieval. From my research, the relative differences of 
setting and holding between the Mantus and Rocna/Vulcan are negligible and the 
Mantus is 25% less expensive locally.

{}#yiv8713537944 Doug;  Before I comment, let me repeat something I’ve posted 
to the list before: About 40 years ago an old, retired USCG Master Chief taught 
me that the best rule of thumb for an anchor setup was to have at least a pound 
of anchor and a foot of chain for each foot of boat length. That has always 
worked for me, and the times I recall dragging anchor over the years were 
almost always on a charter boat or delivery with a piddley little Danforth 
anchor on them.  That said, the consensus of boating friends and the cruisers 
who come through the marina I manage is that the Rocna and Mantus anchors are 
pretty much superior to anything else in terms of holding power and setting 
reliably (and very similar in performance). So the pound/foot rule might be 
overkill for those anchors.  Your anchor selection is probably mostly dependent 
on how you will use the boat.  Do you plan to stay in marinas each night and 
use the anchor as a lunch hook?  Do you anchor out frequently, but almost 
always in protected harbors/coves/side creeks in fair weather?  Do you envision 
anchoring in more open anchorages and being out in occasional thunder storms 
and transient weather like the passage of a cold front overnight?  Will you be 
doing extended cruising and exposed to open anchorages and gale force winds?  
The first two situations argue for a smaller anchor that is easy to store and 
handle, and easier to pull up to the boat. (You don’t need to worry about 
breaking the anchor out of the bottom by hand; just pull the rode In until it 
is at stays – parallel to the angle of the forestay – or straight up and down 
and then motor forward a few feet to break out the anchor.)   If your  plan is 
in the latter two scenarios, the bigger anchor will be more difficult to store 
and handle, but will let you sleep more comfortably at night.  Rick

There are three batteries (one starting, two house) that have to be charged
It has to be on all the time
It needs the charge controller to be entered into the equation somewheres.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Stus-List Solar panel - how to hook one up?

[Mike Casey via CnC-List]

I have just taken the Power and Sail Squadron Marine Electronics course. If
you can take it, I would urge you to do so. It has to be one of the best
courses I have taken.

I bought a solar panel for my C 30. I can attach it to the boat fine, but
hooking it up so it can recharge the batteries is a mystery.

Is there anyone out there who can give me some good instructions that I can
understand?

My specifics are:

There are three batteries (one starting, two house) that have to be charged
It has to be on all the time
It needs the charge controller to be entered into the equation somewheres.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Stus-List 33-2 owners who have purchased a mantus or rocna anchor. What size did you get?

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

Doug;

 

Before I comment, let me repeat something I’ve posted to the list before: About 
40 years ago an old, retired USCG Master Chief taught me that the best rule of 
thumb for an anchor setup was to have at least a pound of anchor and a foot of 
chain for each foot of boat length. That has always worked for me, and the 
times I recall dragging anchor over the years were almost always on a charter 
boat or delivery with a piddley little Danforth anchor on them.

 

That said, the consensus of boating friends and the cruisers who come through 
the marina I manage is that the Rocna and Mantus anchors are pretty much 
superior to anything else in terms of holding power and setting reliably (and 
very similar in performance). So the pound/foot rule might be overkill for 
those anchors.

 

Your anchor selection is probably mostly dependent on how you will use the boat.

 

Do you plan to stay in marinas each night and use the anchor as a lunch hook?

 

Do you anchor out frequently, but almost always in protected harbors/coves/side 
creeks in fair weather?

 

Do you envision anchoring in more open anchorages and being out in occasional 
thunder storms and transient weather like the passage of a cold front overnight?

 

Will you be doing extended cruising and exposed to open anchorages and gale 
force winds?

 

The first two situations argue for a smaller anchor that is easy to store and 
handle, and easier to pull up to the boat. (You don’t need to worry about 
breaking the anchor out of the bottom by hand; just pull the rode In until it 
is at stays – parallel to the angle of the forestay – or straight up and down 
and then motor forward a few feet to break out the anchor.) 

 

If your  plan is in the latter two scenarios, the bigger anchor will be more 
difficult to store and handle, but will let you sleep more comfortably at night.

and are you happy with your decision. Our boat seems to sit between the Mantus

of chain and 150 feet of rope.

Re: Stus-List Bilge Pump Drain Location

[Gary Nylander via CnC-List]

My whale bilge pump exits about two feet forward of the transom on the port
side, just under the toe rail. I ran my electric version to the same place,
just underneath the manual one.

Question for the C 30 MK1 owners.  Where does your bilge pump drain?  I
picked up mu project boat last winter and they had the hose from the bilge
pump connected to the vent fitting for the head holding tank.  I am putting
the head back together and will need that vent, but I can't figure out where
the bilge pump would connected to a thruhull.

 

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Stus-List Bilge Pump Drain Location

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

Ditto with the electric bilge pump on my 38 mk1, starboard side about a foot or 
two forward of the transom and about 6” below the toe rail. Pretty good 
location that is never going to be under water unless the boat is completely 
capsized (so no siphoning back to the bilge. Only drawback is the length of the 
hose run.

Our 1977 C 27 MK III was set the same way, with the outlet being up near the 
toe rail on the starboard side at the stern.

Hi Steve,


My bilge pump exit is upper starboard side of the transom, I'm sure it is 
original as the boat only had one previous owner before me.
