Re: Stus-List Solar day/night fans - things you need to know

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

Dennis, et al;

 

Having installed both the Day/Night model N20703 (last fall) and N20803 (just 
last week) on Imzadi, I have a couple of observations.

 

I’ve replaced my dorade boxes with these fans. The Day/Night Plus N20703 was a 
pretty simple installation. The main difficulty was enlarging the 3” diameter 
hole in the deck to fit the larger diameter of the fan. The mounting plate 
screws to the deck, and the fan itself screws to the mounting plate. So it is a 
pretty  robust installation. There is a trim ring included for installation 
inside the headliner, but I just enlarged the hole in the white Lexan panels 
that covered where my dorades came through the ceiling. (BTW, you refer to the 
Day/Night Plus as the “new” Nicro. They’ve actually been available for a couple 
of years snow.)

 

The new N20803 fan is larger in diameter overall, stands higher off the deck, 
and needs a significantly larger hole through the deck. Installation was, 
consequentially, much more difficult. Installation is by a trim ring that the 
fan screws into with an O-ring seal between the upper trim ring and the fan 
(there are two neoprene seals between the fan and the deck), and a lower trim 
ring that screws onto the output of the fan and is supposed to snug up to the 
headliner. The minimum spacing of the two rings is 3”, and the deck/headliner 
of my 38 above the head is only 2” thick, so I had to modify both trim rings to 
get them to screw into place.

 

The light on the N20803 is a nice feature, and the access to the battery is 
easier if it needs replacing. And you can switch from intake to exhaust by 
flipping a small switch on the light housing rather than changing the fan 
blades. The assembly  seems pretty  robust. I suspect that you are correct 
about sheets hanging up on the fan, but my fans are between the “islands” on 
the cabin top for mounting winches and cleats, so that is probably not a real 
problem for me… certainly they are a lot less likely to capture sheets than the 
old dorade boxes and cowl vents.

 

Unfortunately, the housing that holds the lights and switches seem to have cut 
down on the amount of air being moved. My two fans are about 3 feet apart, and 
the Day/Night Plus N20703 is moving noticeably more air.

 

Also unfortunately, while the Day/Night Plus N20703 and 4 are in the on-line 
Marineco listing of vent fans, they are no longer in the Marineco catalog. And 
West Marine told me they are being replaced by the N20803 and 4.

 

In hindsight, I wish I had done a little more research and bought a second 
Day/Night Plus fan from Amazon.

Be advised that Marinco now makes a day/night fan as an alternative to the 
Nicro.

 

https://www.amazon.com/nicro-Stainless-Steel-Night-Plus/dp/B01G1YYDOC

 

http://www.marinco.com/en/n20803s

 

A few things to know about each.

 

Nicro - the old style Nicros were fairly low.  If the fan was mounted forward, 
sheets would generally pass easily over the fan.  The new Nicros are higher and 
have a vertical portion to the side.  Sheets will hang up on the vertical 
portion.  The old Nicros were simply inserted into the deck fitting.  They 
could be secured with a trim ring from below.  The new fans are screwed to the 
deck fitting from above.  The new deck fitting is slightly different in size 
from the old fitting so you may have to modify the hole.

 

Marinco -  Very vertical on the sides.  I suspect sheets will hang up on this 
fan.  It has a nifty night light.  It also seems to protrude more into the 
cabin/head than the Nicro.  Before you buy, be sure to look hard at the fitment 
for this vent.  It could be a head banger.

 

There are several other solar vents.  Pactrade, Solatron, etc.  Do the research.

Stus-List Fuel Tank

[robert via CnC-List]

Mike,
Rod's Machine Shop, 114 Wright Ave, Burnside Industrial Park, (902) 
468-2046.  I have used them before on various things.not the 
cheapest but very high quality work.


I explained to them the difficult time getting the tank out of the 
lazarettethe depth of the tank itself was O.K. but the 90 degree 
infill connector welded to the top of the tank was just a little bit of 
a problemimpressed upon them they couldn't add any more depth with 
the repairs to the bottom or I wouldn't get the tank back in with the 
existing welded aluminum infill connector.   So they cut approx. 1 inch 
off the bottom of the tank and added approx. 1/4 inch ...so the net 
effect the tank went back in with ease.maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch clearance.

Re: Stus-List AERIAL conflict?

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Don,

of course, it depends on what you are planning to use the Wi-Fi for. If for on 
board communication (e.g. for your Nav instruments) than you don’t need the 
aerial up on the mast. Actually, that would be bad.

If you plan to use it for communicating with an on-shore access point, you 
might consider raising it up on a halyard (unless you do it frequently enough 
and it becomes a chore).

Define “near”.

for a 150 foot roll.  For the stars, they sell 14 inch wide by the foot for $3 
a foot. I do not remember but probably got four feet. Cut into a foot for each 
star.  Covered the whole star and cut around the edges and had the stars done 
with no seams.   Get the premium vinal not the cheap stuff.

Re: Stus-List flexible solar panel on hatch

[Neil E. Andersen via CnC-List]

You want to “isolate” different panels either through micro-inverters or at 
least diodes to keep the current flowing the right way.  A shadow on one panel 
will wreak havoc on a system of multiple panels if not done right.

Be aware that any shadow on the panel greatly reduces it’s efficiency.  I’m not 
sure you’ll get much direct sunlight in that location.

Re: Stus-List Cove stripe and symbol

Holland Marine stocks the stars and the stripe tape.  I haven't bought any
from them so cannot comment on the quality.

Re: Stus-List Modify Router to DC Power Supply

[Ron Ricci via CnC-List]

You may be able to purchase a 12 VDC to 12 VDC regulated power supply or
make one with an inexpensive Zener diode and a couple of resistors.

Good luck,
