Stus-List A perfect night

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

The wind last night was about 12-15 out of the northwest, the air was 
dry, and the sky was a brilliant blue with a crescent moon already above 
the horizon. Our son was deputized to watch the dog and my wife and I 
set up for a sunset sail. It was going to be a nice reach across the 
river and then I was going to find one of the little gaps in the bar 
around Eastern Neck Island and tuck in to anchor for the night.


Then we ran around right between the breakwaters exiting the marina and 
had to turn around :( Damn you low tide!

Re: Stus-List Strap Hinge for Lazarette

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

I just now (<10 minutes ago!), googled the width and length of a butt hinge in 
SS I needed for my cabin door. The exact size in SS came up on Amazon 
immediately.
This was after about 1 our of figuring out how the butt hinges are measured and 
cataloged. Evidently it is by the total width of the hinge (perpendicular to 
the pin) by the total length. 
As the saying goes, anything you want is out there, you just need to know how 
to ask!!

I'm looking for a replacement strap hinge for the lazarette in the cockpit of 
my 1981 C & C 34. I've looked online quite a bit but can't seem to find a

The hinges are 3 inches on each side with 3 screw holes on each side.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find a replacement?

Re: Stus-List Seized SS Screw

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Rob,

It is best to heed the advice of Dennis.

Use a hand impact driver to get it loose. Then 
maybe hit it with one of the recommended electric tools just for fun.


If you strip the head then the only option is a 
nice bit o' drilling. Which isn't all that bad 
since you will have a nice little pilot "dish". 
And drill at or just slightly less than shank diameter so you can re-tap.


Cheers, Russ

Re: Stus-List Seized SS Screw

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

Absolutely worth buying an impact driver.  I have a little Makita portable and 
I use it all the time as an electric screwdriver and impact driver.  It is 
especially good with stuck stainless screws in aluminum that I thought would be 
impossible to loosen.  Has rarely failed where a standard driver would ruin the 
slots.  Dave

Re: Stus-List On the rocks

[Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List]

Will,
Sorry to hear it.  In early May, had a scrape up as well on the way down the 
Connecticut River to our marina in Westbrook.  We cut the engine and sailed up 
the river waiting for the Haddam bridge to open.  Sailed too close to the bank 
and tried to tack but sails lost power and the current took us bow first into 
the rocky bank.  We scraped slowly but the engine in reverse got us off pretty 
quickly.  After the boat operated normally and the bilge activity was normal.  
Still need to see what the damage is.
Good luck, I hope it is fixable.

Re: Stus-List Solar Panel Charging Problem

[kelly petew via CnC-List]

Thanks for your suggestions.

FYI -
The panel surface is clean.
IIRC, the batteries were at about 90%, based on my Balmar SOC display; a 12.7 
volt reading
There is a controller - it's a Renogy 20 PWM.

I'll check the incoming voltage at the controller.
Not sure how to check voltage "right at the panel".  I thought the panel could 
be damaged if unplugged from the controller, while in sunlight.
I'll get re-acquainted with the controller manual, too.

Thanks,

My  favorite grounding (in recent memory) happened a few years ago when I had 
an office staff of non-sailing ladies on board for a fun afternoon charity 
regatta.  I got greedy trying to make the weather mark and, well, you know the 
rest.  One of the ladies asked “what happens next”?  I responded that we turn 
the engine on.  “Are you allowed to do that in a sailboat race?”

Re: Stus-List Solar Panel Charging Problem

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

Hi Pete,

I've had solar panels on our Landfall 35 for a year now (2 x 100w HQST semi
flexible in parallel 12v, Renogy Commander 40A controller, MT-50 remote
monitor).  The controller flashes a light when charging batteries and any
indication of a charging problem (battery issues, bad connection, etc) gets
a flashing red light.  The remote monitor also shows charging volts and amps
and if there's a positive flow to the batteries. 

My MT-50 monitor recently had  display failure but the system was still
operational.  The monitor can help you set charging parameters as well.  If
you are hooking up the panels directly to the battery with no controller,
you're asking for serious overcharging from a 100w panel in direct sunlight.
If you have a controller, check the manual for indicator lights or readouts
from the controller (or check with a multimeter).  Mine typically put out
16-18v when in direct sunlight.

Subject: Stus-List Solar Panel Charging Problem

 

While yesterday was a bright, sunny day, I noticed that my 100 watt panel
was barely providing any power to my batteries. 

Bought from Amazon, this panel [KingSolar, probably Chinese] was purchased
and installed in August, 2019. 

I checked the MC connectors, they were OK.  

Can anyone share their experiences with trouble-shooting solar panel issues?

 

Thanks,

Re: Stus-List Solar Panel Charging Problem

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

What kind of controller? What was the battery voltage at the time? Most
controllers have screw in terminal blocks, which make it easy to check the
panel voltage at the controller, which should be around 18-20V. If not,
check the voltage right at the panel. If it differs, then there is a bad
connection. With my PWM controller, when the batteries are fully charged,
it will only show a very small charging current for float mode. Usually,
turning on something of a decent load like a pump or fridge for a minute or
so will cause the controller to kick out of float mode and show 4-6A of
charging (150W panel)

If your batteries were fully charged the charge controller will not allow

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

[Michael Brown via CnC-List]

You may want to try cooling the shaft as much as possible while
heating the coupling. 



If the coupling is cast iron or similar the coefficient of expansion
is different from 304 SS.


https://amesweb.info/Materials/Linear-Thermal-Expansion-Coefficient-Metals.aspx


While it isn't much heating both equally looks like it might make
them bind more.

I used a cutting wheel and cut a groove longitudinally down one side being 
careful not to score the shaft. Then a few surgical strikes in the groove with 
a cold chisel to slightly spread the coupling. Then it slid right off. About a 
half an hour minus setup.

Re: Stus-List C 37+ Bow Chocks

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Rob,

Welcome to the list! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the issue you are 
facing is on the starboard side, where the chock is very close to the anchor 
roller assembly and it’s a bit of a pain getting mooring ines in and out of the 
tight space. 

Suggest trying a thick cut-to-size plastic lumber (starboard) to raise the 
chock up to a level that it is easier to work with. 

All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List C 37+ Bow Chocks

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

I had the same problem with my 34/36.  Garhauer made me a beautiful set of bow 
chocks.  I cut off the toe rail near the bow, and the bolts they put on the 
bottom of the chocks were matched to the existing holes.  The only thing I 
recommend to make the job easy is to account for the angles inside.  I had a 
hard time getting the nuts on the bolts and threaded down because the bolts on 
the chocks were angled straight down.  With the hull coming up at an angle in 
that area, they needed to be arranged so they could be accessed without the 
hull interfering.  I don’t remember exactly the problem, but could take photos 
if it would help.  Dave

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

[Nathan Post via CnC-List]

Cut the coupler parallel to the shaft using an angle grinder with a cut-off 
wheel. Try to cut into the key so yuh don’t damage the shaft.  I didn’t have 
enough room to get all the way among the coupler with the grinder so I used a 
multi tool to finish the cut. Then pound a cold chisel into the cut to spread 
it off the shaft. May help to cut part way though on the other side.  It is a 
pain but doable - at least it was on my 34. 
Then get a new coupler fit and faced.

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

Hi Josh,

I had a bear of a coupling removal last fall on the project boat.

We did all the usual things first (heat, bolts 
with strongback & socket, swearing, more swearing 
& sweating). Lots of peering at it with lights and a mirror too.


Anyhow, got a Porta-Power rig from work with a 
fabbed 4 bolt strongback (1/2" thick) and jacked 
it off (with heat again). Found out we had missed 
a set screw under the crud which was cleared up 
with Emery cloth so it looked smooth. :)


I used mineral wool insulation to protect the 
hull & sensitive areas form the torch flame.

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

Heat.  You don't want to use flame, I get that.  How about laying a BBQ 
charcoal lighter on it?  You could probably bend the thing to make more 
contact.

Stus-List Shaft coupler removal

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Getting the shaft out of the coupler is turning out to be quite a trick.
I'm using a large socket in the center of the coupler to act as a spacer.
Then I'm using the coupler bolts to act as clamps and draw tights against
the socket.  I have lots of penetrating oil in just about every location
imaginable.  All the bolts are as tight as I can make them and I've rotated
the shaft multiple times to work everything around.  Then I used a hammer
to agitate it, still nothing.  I simply can't get the bolts tighter.  The
only thing I haven't tried is heat.  Got any other suggestions?  Cross
