Loved those Haulover videos!
If you pop into Oriental guys I would love to say Hey !
Unless something changes I am heading north to Manteo then up across the 
Abermarle
Plan is  to  Depart Jun 12

Bermuda is off the table due to Covid, so we are going to Charleston.

Can anyone confirm it?  I'd like to be able to bail out before Hatteras if the

Re: Stus-List Replacement LED for circuit breaker panel?

[Peter Fell via CnC-List]

Quite possible that they are LEDs at that age, and I can't see it being
anything other than 12V DC. My other hobby is vintage audio and LEDs were
used for indicator lights right back into the 70s. I was just working on a
Yamaha stereo receiver built in 1974 and it has a couple LEDs for power and
stereo FM indicators.

In most of the marine suppliers around here, you can buy Blue Sea
replacement panel LEDs and a couple other brands (Sea Dog perhaps?) already
set-up to run on 12V DC. I know the Blue Sea come with a 'holder' for the
bulb and come in different colours. I've used one or two when I'm out of
red LEDs or need one-off of some other funky colour for my audio projects!
Rather expensive way to do it though!

Most of the LEDs I use I go the lazy route, rather than assemble my own,
and buy off Amazon  pack of 50, prewired with pigtail and resistor for
$12 -$18,  and will run off about 8 to 15V. With the fixed resistors
intensity will vary with the voltage. Cheap LEDs, probably not the best
quality, but so far they've worked fine. The pigtails are ridiculously thin
wire - maybe 28 gauge (but then again so is the wire on the larger red LED
I picked up in a marine store for my compass light!).

Note that if you are replacing an indicator light for an AC panel then it
will run on 120V AC. Blue Sea sells separate LEDs for that, and there will
be 2 differences. 1st, the resister will be a higher value and 2nd they
will probably have something like a 1N4004 rectifier diode wired in, to
block reverse of the AC cycle. LEDs are diodes, but they aren't designed to
block a lot of reverse voltage ... they will break down fairly quickly.
There may also be a small capacitor in the circuit to reduce flicker (the
LED on AC is only lit 60-times a second ... you'll see it flicker if you
look indirectly at it).

For the DC application only the resistor is needed. However the LED will be
polarized, so test it before any soldering. If it doesn't light up, reverse
the connection. AC will work regardless of how you connect it.

Re: Stus-List Replacement LED for circuit breaker panel?

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I have not investigated specifically for myself because they always looked
like standard through hole LEDs from the '80s.  As a kid I always did all
sorts of experiments with them.  The bare LEDs I played with were about
3/16ths and you could buy sockets for them too.  When I looked online just
now, I realize that they are sold in metric diameters.  Based on available
metric sizes I would guess that they are 5mm.

LED
https://images.app.goo.gl/y4kJTgfW5Ry1A55c9

Socket
https://images.app.goo.gl/nfJ8zeVRdhPAo2Ey8

Generally speaking, LEDs by themselves are designed to emit light between 1
and 3 volts.  Much higher than 3 and the LED will burn out.  It was common
to directly solder a resistor to one of the legs of the LED and sell the
combo as a "x.xx volt LED".  The resistor would come exposed or sometimes
heat shrinked to give a more finished look.

Calcs
https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/resistors-for-leds/

Armed with that info I think you can do a little disassembly to determine
exactly what you have and then order online.  Let me know if you get stuck.

Re: Stus-List Replacement LED for circuit breaker panel?

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

Hey Bruce--
I had similar problems with several of my 25 year old panel indicator lights 
and could not find a physicallyl identical size
I eventually had them replaced with smaller Blue Sea indicators by an 
electrician who replaced all of them.I think he mounted them on another strip 
and mounted the strip behind the panels.

I have been in and out of there. No way would I try it in a sailboat except 
maybe in flat calm weather. If the weather is bad you don’t want to anyplace 
even close to land at that point.

Re: Stus-List Local knowledge - Oregon Inlet

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

Hi Joel,

Coincidentally I was just looking yesterday at NOAA Chart 12204 
(https://charts.noaa.gov/PDFs/12204.pdf 
, 39th edition dated June 2018, last 
corrected 10/8/2019).

Its note B about the Oregon Inlet refers to the USCG Fifth District’s Local 
Notices to Mariners at https://navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict=5 
.  The latest of those, 
https://navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/lnms/lnm05212020.pdf 
, and Chart 12204’s Note B, 
refer to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington, North Carolina District 
hydrographic survey information at 
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/HydrographicSurveys.aspx 
.

The latest Army Corps survey maps of the Oregon Inlet are at 
https://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/Hydrographic-Surveys/Manteo-Oregon-Inlet/
 
.
The bar was last surveyed May 11th and shows a depth of 8 feet over the bar: 
https://saw-nav.usace.army.mil/MANTEO-OREGON/OREGON_INLET_EAST/Oregon_Inlet_Bar.pdf
 
.
The map of the Oregon Inlet Bridge, updated May 21, shows 14-16 feet of water 
in the channel under the bridge: 
https://saw-nav.usace.army.mil/MANTEO-OREGON/OREGON_INLET_EAST/Oregon_Inlet_Bridge.pdf
 
.
West of the Oregon Inlet Bridge, the map shows at least 12 feet of water to get 
to the Old House Channel, and was last updated March 17th: 
https://saw-nav.usace.army.mil/MANTEO-OREGON/OREGON_INLET_WEST/Oregon_Inlet_West.pdf
 
.

With your 7’ draft, it might be dicey getting across that bar.  Might want to 
look at the latest maps as your trip date approaches, and call the USCG Fifth 
District or Army Corps Wilmington District.

Cheers,
Randy

Scary place, Joel. I wouldn’t try it. 
It isn’t that hard to pick a window to get the 200 miles from Norfolk to 
Beaufort, NC...as long as you¡re not trying to stick to a schedule! Pick a nice 
Northerly, leave in the morning and you’ll be in Beaufort by happy hour the 
next day.
Coincidentally I am current off the banks having rounded Hatteras at 0330 today.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Moeller has a few tanks with angled fill nozzles.  Whether they have one to
fit your boat, who knows?

There are a couple vendors of tank fittings which may offer solutions:
fillernecksupply.com and tanksinc.com

Stus-List Local knowledge - Oregon Inlet

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

All,

Bermuda is off the table due to Covid, so we are going to Charleston.

Plan is to stay outside, but it looks like Oregon Inlet is dredged to 14
feet.  Can anyone confirm it?  I'd like to be able to bail out before
Hatteras if the weather is bad.

Re: Stus-List C 29 Mark 1 Rudder Installation Drawings

[Doug Robinson via CnC-List]

Rod,

You might check w/ Rob at Southshore Yachts as he inherited all the 
design paperwork upon C demise.  (905 468 4340)  He or Cory would be a 
good source.  I don't know about bushings but my C 29 MkI has nylon 
washers riding on the shaft, not that I have looked but I have spares 
gleaned from the inventory that came back from Kiel when they sold the 
German operation.  There is also a grease fitting which never gets any 
love up under the stern counter.  Mine is a tiller version and most are 
wheels so your mileage may vary.

Re: Stus-List Fuel tank replacement

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

Hello Mike,

 

I replaced my tank with a Kracor 28 gallon, which fit in there nicely.  Used 
the original rubber elbow to go into the fill, a little tight, but do-able.  I 
was trying to find the model# but I can’t find it, can only find info on the 
Kracor Holding tank.

Since Yamaha bought them, the  seem to be more difficult to deal with.  I would 
think Moeller would have something similar.

Hi there-

 

I am looking to upgrade my fuel tank for added capacity. When I purchased the 
boat 20 years ago, I discovered a leaking aluminum tank weeks before launch. I 
located a 16.5 gal.Tempo tank that would easily fit. Now looking for a new 
tank, I have two questions: 

1-Tempo seems to be gone, what other vendors are available (I prefer plastic)? 

2-Most tanks have a 2" fill neck coupled with the bend radius of 1.5" A2 fuel 
hose don't help the situation. What's the best solution to maximize tank height?

 

Thanks,

Re: Stus-List Diesel Filter

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

FYI – it doesn’t hurt to use 2 vacuum gauges, one before the filter and one 
after. I was experiencing high vacuum and shutdowns and after I installed the 
second gauge, I found high vacuum on BOTH of them. It wasn’t the filter that 
was clogged, it was the pickup tube in the tank. The filter’s contribution to 
the problem is the difference between the gauges ;)
My clog turned out to be rubber pieces from the fuel fill hose, it was slowly 
dissolving and dropping bits of rubber into the tank. Sometimes they would suck 
onto the fuel pickup and sometimes they would drop back off.

Wade,

Look at the picture of a 500 series racor in the link below.  The factory top 
has a t handle which is used to tighten the lid.  The vacuum gauge which Joe 
linked replaces that t-handle.  The t arms are not used to sense pressure - 
just for tightening the lid.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/172954061164

BTW: these 500 series are notorious for being easily over tightened which warps 
the lid and causes leaks.

The 500 series is 60gph which would be close to 60 times the flow capacity 
required for any one of our engines.  Even with a 2 micron filter I would not 
expect much if any vacuum being formed, though it should be noted that the 
vacuum represents the effort required to "lift" the fuel out of the tank AND 
the effort required to suck the fuel through the filter.  Yanmar typically 
rates their engines for up to 10 feet of lift.  Diesel is 34" per psi so 10 
feet = ~3.5 psi.  Even with no filter element installed the vacuum  for 10 feet 
of vertical lift of diesel fuel would amount to 100 inH2O, 3.5psia or 7 inHg.

Hi Joe
Looking at the guage you've linked to, its obvious the "T" arms go in the fuel 
line between the Racor and engine. Where does the threaded base of the T go?  
What is a normal pressure? What pressure reading makes you decide to change 
filters?  Are the lined just clamped with small hose clamps or what?

I change my Racor every year, and I used to change the one on the engine every 
year as well.  This time, I'm going to let the engine mounted one go another 
year.  We still get a fine layer of black "grit" at the bottom of the racor 
over the year, but it does not appear to hinder the running of the engine.

I'd rather swap out a $20 filter once a year than risk the engine shutting down 
as I go through a bridge opening with 3 kts. of current.

To each their own,

Does anyone have the diagram/drawing for the C 29 Mk 1rudder and rudder 
stock/shaft installation or photos of the fitting used where the rudder stock 
comes through the cockpit sole?  Asking for a friend who is trying to 
repair/rebuild his.  I understand these boats have/had no bushings.

Thanks
