Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets

[Adrian Humphreys via CnC-List]

A one inch diameter stanchion has a circumference of about three inches (pi x 
d).

I notched the open ends 1/8 inch or so, about half way up, something like this:
___
|_   _|
  |_|
 
so when the plastic is bent around and inserted into the socket, there's an 
open notch at the bottom where the ends meet. I lined up the notch with the 
set-screw hole in the base. As I inserted the stanchion into the sleeved base, 
I tried to twist equally in both directions to keep the notch lined up. The 
dish detergent helps here.

I also had multiple holes in the stanchions for set screws, but only one lined 
up vertically with the hole in the base. Go figure. Some set screws had been 
forced, cross-threading the screw. For those, I chased the hole with 10-24 tap 
and replaced the screw.

Re: Stus-List Jib Halyard Length for a 37+?

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

I can't help you with the dimensions, but I’d suggest to talk to our local 
expert, Chuck, on the rope type, _before_ you buy.

My choice was Novabraid XLE Performer.

Listers,

My jib halyard is snapped. Anyone know offhand the width and length for a 
replacement? I think it 7/16 x 150, but not sure.

All the best,

Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets

[John Conklin via CnC-List]

Silly question which is Height and width  I assume 1 7/8 H , tall but the 3 “ 
would wrap several time around and hope do you then notch for set screw? Wrap 
1st have 1 or 2 that are possible candidates:) 
Thanks again!

Re: Stus-List Jib Halyard Length for a 37+?

[Ken Heaton via CnC-List]

120' of 7/16" Braided Dacron  (actually, the original was probably 53'
of 3/16" S. S. wire spliced to 66' of  7/16" Braided Dacron, see the
Owner's Manual, Table 3 near the end, Pg. 66?).

150' will certainly give you some extra to play with.

Stus-List Engine clean-up

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

Parts of my Beta 28 diesel engine have serious paint/rust scaling issues that I 
would like to remove before cleaning and spray painting the engine. 
Unfortunately, most of this is in/around the front of the engine (forward 
facing) cooling lines, alternator, etc. which is impossible to reach with a 
wire brush, either manual or on the end of a power drill. If I had one with 
enough cfm, I would probably soda-blast the stuff away with an air compressor 
blaster.  One mechanic suggested the only real way to do this is to remove the 
engine for soda-blasting which is costly and time consuming.  I might be able 
to do it with some sort of flexible shaft that could be driven by a power 
drill--any kind of regular power drill with a brush is just too bulky to get 
close to/behind various engine pieces.  OTOH, I could just try a high pressure 
water spray after covering up the alternator and ignition panel to motor wiring 
connector.  Any suggestions from the list on how such a clean-up might be done?

Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets

[T Sutton via CnC-List]

FWIW my stanchions come off in the fall to put the winter cover on and when 
I was putting them back on I noticed there were two holes for the set screw 
and a big dollop of what seemed like the sealant they used to seal the hull 
and deck, in the bases.  I pulled out the sealant and the stanchions would 
sink a little deeper in the base and the set screw now goes into the upper 
hole.  The stanchions are much more solid in the bases but oddly the life 
lines are much tighter now.  It's almost like they raised the stanchions a 
centimeter or so to make the life lines fit better.  Hmmm

I followed Mike and Bill's advice.

85 cents for a 2 litre bottle of soda pop,
poured out the beverage,
cut the bottle into 1-7/8 x 3 inch strips (notched for the set screw),
sleeved the sockets (lubed with dish soap),
replaced the stanchions.

Eh voila!

Stanchions are tight and the admiral feels safe again.
