Re: Stus-List All Marinas in Miami closed

[John Conklin via CnC-List]

Problem was the groove for water flow  was filled with water so the tape would 
fail and not stick after getting soaked there. Don’t se the need for this as 
water still sits right outside the channel. The wick idea at the  I got from 
this group  is working great along the lo point of toe rail to remove that 
sitting water.

I've been using blue painter's tape, but it will eventually let water through 
if it gets wet enough.

Duct tape keeps the water out, but I need to take it up and replace it every 
couple days. I've got the first 2 coats of 3 down and want to try to avoid 
using chemicals on it before the paint gets a long cure. It's just a one-part 
polyurethane -- TotalBoat Wet Edge from Jamestown Distributors.

Re: Stus-List Emergency tiller

Few pics of my check on the  e tiller. Mine is a very hefty  4ft+ -  SS tube 
also,  no pins or locks slips right on. I Opened access Plate and it fit 
sideways  where I can see steering in a forward and back motion no problem. NO 
way its working with or without wheel dur to angle.
See  below you can also see the starboard access hatch that was recently 
discussed.

All,

I have not tried it yet on the current Enterprise, but on the Enterprise-A 
(1978 C 34), we had the steering cable snap in the middle of the night on the 
way to Montauk. Between the prop wash and the waves, it was very difficult to 
steer, but we set up a line from the e-tiller to a block on the rail, then to a 
primary winch. Made a world of difference.

All the best,

Edd

I had the marina redo the tiller to fit--no big deal for someone who know how 
to weld SS pipe--and not too costly.

It was made just short enough to miss the wheel/pedestal--however, the lever 
arm is thus pretty short. I wouldn't want to steer for long with my short

The emergency tiller on Persistence runs at an angle from the rudder post 
(something between 30 and 45 degrees I think).  The pedestal is NOT in the way 
but the wheel is.

Hi,
I am impressed with the birth of the emergency tiller. However, it would appear 
that I’d have to remove the wheel pedestal to have room for it to work.
If so, does anybody have any experience doing that?? I’m also thinking 
1986–this sucker is likely to be very challenging to unbolt!

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Rain water collection

[John Conklin via CnC-List]

My 37 has the deck scuppers and this was this First thing I fixed after 
purchase. Unfortunately they are small and make a 90 degree turn not far from 
where they go in so both sides were plugged tight :( so help water until nature 
dried it out.  Port side I was Able to shop vac too  and hose out from below, 
starboard broke when I touched it so I was left with a hole in my boat! Hole 
was Topside yes but if it rained it leaked as it wa ms Not round, and not easy 
to plug without replacing and sealing
Took a week to find he right scupper so I did not hard to change drain line to 
through hull.
A real bear to get at inside the back wall plexi in galley so no real way to 
see with doing the boat dance.
I installed #1 and dry fit only thankfully only to come up about 2 full turns 
short of being perfectly snug ! Yes I ended up with 2 extra that did not fit 
(length of Non threaded area) and grabbed a proper spare for the other side for 
“when it goes” :)

Re: Stus-List Boat projects again- wire running through rail tube

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

  I spent the day attempting to install my new Marinebeam LED navigation 
lights.   I posted the other day about their very low profile masthead light.  
I have a solution for a pedestal to sit it on to raise it up which should not 
be necessary.  Today I worked on the bow and stern lights.   The mount for the 
lights is a really dumb design.  I got done drilling 2 holes for the mounting 
plate and one for the wire, had it all assembled and wire run through the rail 
tube (thanks guys- it was some caulking gunk inside the tube) and then realized 
that I had drilled the hole for the wire to the size of the shielded wire 
bundle.  However, the wire exits from the back of the unit through a larger 
plastic tube that is 0.4" in diameter rather than the 5/16” I had drilled for 
the wire. That plastic tube sticks out past the mounting plate so the only way 
to flush mount is have the hole big enough to insert the tube.  That tube is 
larger than my largest cobalt drill bit (3/8” and needs 7/16").  So I had to 
take it all apart again (pulling the wire out of the rail tube that I spent an 
hour getting it through) and now I need to find a drill bit that will fit my 
drill and cut a huge hole through stainless steel plate.  The 3/8” took alot of 
effort and I am not looking forward to cutting the larger hole.  Either that or 
I need another shim to bring the whole thing further from the stainless steel 
plate.  I can surely solve this, but there is no good reason for that tube to 
stick that far out the back when most people are going to flush mount the light 
and their holder is designed as flush mounting.  It is just bad design.  Also 
there is no customer service email, chat of phone number (I finally found one, 
but well hidden) on their web site where I can lodge a complaint.  Not happy 
with that company!  Hope to not buy from them again.  Dave

Re: Stus-List Emergency tiller

[John Conklin via CnC-List]

Funny story in these times where we are all online a bit too much;) After all 
this tiller talk,
Had a dream last night I was practicing righting my 30ft (open cockpit) boat, 
really?  did about 4 perfect recoveries standing on keel of course, like it was 
a laser ?? Not! Then soon after I started sailing back Snap! no steering. So I 
put to work another article I read that  linked on steering without rudder and 
made it to the ramp! well 1 problem,  I was at wrong ramp! this one was for 
boats under 20ft so I could not get my truck in
No problem, headed back out. Using sails to steer, and then woke up.  Not sure 
if I made it ??
May have to lay off the iPad a little and back to fixin stuff :)
Be well! Dream on
Or
start a “your best-sailing dream thread for little lightness in these tough 
times.
Ciao!

This thread reminds me that I still haven't finished fabricating the e-tiller

since the rudder post is behind the pedestal. What came with the boat is a 
thick steel plate that clamps on the rudder post, then a vertical aluminum pipe 
to bring the height to almost above the wheel, ending in a "T" welded to the 
pipe. I have a few ideas on how to make a tiller to attach to "T", but am still 
curious to see what an original looks like.

Oh, and my re-wiring job that is quickly progressing to a complete teardown of 
the boat has almost reach the steering gear, so an inspection under there is 
imminent. Things looked good in terms of nicely greased and clean, but the 
issue of cable damage caused by rudder turning too far needs to be checked - my 
rudder turns beyond 45 degrees at full lock.

Re: Stus-List Boat projects again- wire running through rail tube

[John Conklin via CnC-List]

Yea agreed next time will be different (and LED)
As a newbie boat owner
This was one of the first projects I wanted to tackle removing those badly 
crazed Nav  lights they were on sale and thought a minimal investment easy to 
switch with no mount or wire isssues for a nice noticeable Change. Then I 
heard all the benefits and suggestions  on LED but too late :( At the moment I 
don't cruise a lot and only got stuck out for 1 night time arrival so far where 
I even used lights. I did have a few small trial trips planned this year and my 
first week long with our local club which will start with a night sail!  So 
good motivation to get finished.  I do  plug in so amps and such were not of 
concern (is now) I even went to 1 starter as recommended when I changed out my 
charger with the pronautic which is working great !!
 I thought this would be easy and I did get 2 of the 3 done as well as mast 
deck light (full of water)  by the yard, from the bucket while they were adding 
new windex
But this last one is keepin it real!
I am close to boat now for quarantine and hope to use this time for more 
projects
They started dredging our channel this week, and need to finish by end of 
season  3/31! So getting out this week is not really  recommended
So Breaking out the list
Bow Light
Wheel pilot crunching not working
Water pressure
Then the spring checklist
Will post others do not want to Hijack this thread
Be safe all!

Stus-List All Marinas in Miami closed

[James Hesketh via CnC-List]

Just received an email from my Marina in Miami

Yesterday some idiots sent out a mass email inviting boaters to a raft-up
at a sandbar for today.

The Mayor saw this and issued an order to close all boating activities for
pleasure boaters.

All Marinas are closed -- boat owners will be allowed to check on their
boats, but no work or maintenance will be allowed. I'm assuming our
liveaboards will still be allowed to say aboard.

I'm in the middle of painting my decks/cabin/cockpit and have all the deck
hardware removed (including cleats -- my dock lines are currently ties to
the toe rail) so there are a lot of holes to keep covered.

All public ramps are closed, and police will be patrolling the waters and
will stop any boats under way.

The only exception is for commercial fishing vessels that sell to
businesses.

Good Luck to you all.
