Stus-List Re: C 35 MK I Keel Bolts

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

Interesting read. Fortunately Callisto's keel and bolts seem to be in great
shape. One thing not covered in the article was lightning damage. A
friend's Hylas was just discovered to have keel damage caused by a
lightning strike, and had to have the keel dropped and re-bedded, and
presumably some bolts re-cast into it. Fortunately insurance covered it,
even though the strike occurred several years ago on the east coast.

I much prefer Boeshield T-9 to WD-40.

I would not think so.

But it is well documented in many places. One that comes to mind is Catalina 34 
website or sailboat owners forum.

Suggest you ensure the main ground (harness to a stud on the engine) is
good first, this was the culprit in my case, where a few things were
misbehaving intermittently.

Stus-List engine temp gage stuck 160

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Noticed when my engine was off, that the temperature gage is indicating 160 
degrees.  It used to go to full left of the range but needle seems stuck or 
something else going on.

Also noticed a few times, that the Tach was erratic but the belt was not 
slipping which I heard meant a bad wiring harness connection.  I did move all 
those wires when I painted the interior and resupported the wire bundle.

Guess I have to take apart the harness plugs and lube with WD40?

Stus-List Re: C 30 mk1 cockpit mounted throttle adjustment

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

I recall Touche's bulkhead mounted engine controls had that also.  Well,
until the mounting bolts sheared off and the whole thing became
disconnected from the bulkhead.  Happened in the last 50 miles of the last
trip with the Atomic 4.  The next week Touche' got new pedestal mounted
engine controls along with a diesel.

I'm guessing that engine control was a standard unit that C installed.
The detent position may or may not have anything to do with the actual
engine installation.

Mine has the same catch point.  Not certain the purpose - but I
  had to remove the cables and replace when I re-powered.  Working
  with the throttle/shifter was challenging - but that catch/notch
  mechanism was built into the throttle.  Still have same feeling
  with new engine.

The cable

  I would
