Stus-List Re: Dead Battery Charger

As mentioned below, depends on what you need and how you use power. You can 
spend many hundreds of dollars, even thousands for lithium, inverter etc, or 
less than a hundred. I have all LED lights and don't often get far from home 
slip and shore power. I have a two bank, 4 amp/bank charger and lead acid. 
Start and house. Lead acid lasts me about 8 years and never ran out of power. 
Rather use boat bucks for sails, lines, blocks, etc. :-)

We have one house  and the start battery under the settee right behind the sink 
and a second house battery in the locker at the forward end of the settee which 
is connected to the windlass.  Just pulled he lead acid and went with AGMs.

Hello gang...

My battery charger died this weekend.  Its demise was swift, but provides an 
opportunity.  It was a ProMariner Sport 20amp, and apparently did a good job.  
But...since I am not an expert in this field...and need to part with boat bucks 
anyway, do you guys have better ideas?

I have two new group 27 combo batteries. No room for a third on my C$C 37/40+.  
What setups do you guys have?  Thanks.

I have a Noco sealed waterproof 10 amp charger on my 34 C  It has switching 
for FLA, AGM and lithium batteriers.   Very reliable.  Maybe you need 2.

Stus-List Re: Bilge Pump Intake Hose

[Brian Morrison via CnC-List]

Actually turned out to be the pump. The hose is fine.

Had exactly the same issue on my 1982 34 on three separate occasions.  First 
time was mud wasps had built a nest in the discharge pipe near the outlet.  The 
screen in the fitting there had corroded away leaving an opening for the wasps. 
 The solution was to fit a hose sprayer into the hose at the pump, turn it on 
and out came nest.  The sprayer was a twist type, no handle which fit snugly 
into the hose.  I manually held it in the hose while twisting the sprayer on. 
Second was a kink in the hose as it rounded a sharp bend on the back side of 
icebox.  In my case the hose runs from the bilge under the floor boards takes a 
hard left and up to the discharge at the toe rail.  Solution was a new hose – 
nothing special just used automotive hose.  Third was a blockage similar to the 
first.  Same solution

 Hey Trevor,

Tried that. No luck. There is a pretty good strainer on the end of the hose 
that catches most debris.

Brian,

Are you referring to the hose for the manual bilge pump “Gusher” that is in the 
cockpit?

On my 1980 C the electric bilge pump outlet hose (3/4”) runs through the 
cabinetry in the head to the outlet just below the toe rail. The manual bilge 
pump outlet hose (1.5”) runs under the engine and loops up to the Gusher in the 
cockpit on the starboard side.

I replaced my manual bilge pump hose this spring. The previous owner had used 
sanitary waste line, which was really stiff and had cracked. I just used 
corrugated sump pump drainage hose from a hardware store.

I am happy to send photos if that helps.

Brian,

Before doing that have you tried cleaning the outlet of any potential debris or 
blockage? Mine did the same thing before I launched this year and I managed to 
clear it out with a wire after a few jabs then it worked fine.

Hello Mates,

Can anyone tell me the specific type of hose used for the intake on a bilge 
pump? The pump in my CnC34 stopped pumping out. I checked the suction on the 
pump by temporarily disconnecting the existing hose and attaching a temporary. 
I put it in a bucket of water and the pump worked fine. I followed the hose in 
the bilge as far back as I could see but cannot see where it goes under the 
floor through the companionway. I’m not sure if it is actually two hoses that 
connect and the connection has come loose or if it’s one long hose that has 
been compromised. I plan to just run another hose. Any suggestions on the best 
hose to use?

Thanks

Stus-List Bilge Pump Replacement

[Brian Morrison via CnC-List]

Good Morning,

The Jabsco diaphragm bilge pump has lost suction and needs to be replaced on my 
1979 C The original model has been discontinued (37202-). The closest 
match is the 37202-2012. The original pumps at 4.5gpm. This one is only 3gpm. 
Is this the best option or is there another make available?

Thanks
