Dave,

I purchased batteries from lythbattery.com in China.  
No complaints!

Check your insurance policy to make sure the batteries are not excluded before 
you invest the money.

Stus-List Re: Fw: Re: Centerboard cable diagnostics or replacement

[cenelson--- via CnC-List]

No—in my case the trunk was dented a little on the forward inside section. It 
was much stronger, evidently, than the relatively thinner board and the yard 
fixed it up without much cost.
I think you could wait till the haul out to have a look. At least then you will 
be able to do whatever is necessary on the hard.
Whatever the cause of your new noise, you do not want to have the cable let go 
from the up position (depth permitting you might consider leaving it down till 
you haul). If the cable went then, it would have much less momentum and drama.
Falling from the up position has ~ 1000 lbs pivoting on about a 5-6 ft arc 
which will require a new board fabrication., Getting the board into the trunk 
required the boat be lowered onto the board in my case and at todays prices 
probably north of $15000 boat bucks and take several months.
Hopefully your problem will be minor in comparison.

Charlie, thank you for your quick response; if the cable does fail and the

Also, I am being hauled out in a week or so, and was waiting to look at it 
then, but I take it you recommend having someone look at it immediately? Thanks

Hey Richard,
My 36XL (1995) has a centerboard rigged identically as yours and I have had the 
board replaced when my cable parted after ~ 16 years. Thus I am more familiar 
with my cb than I’d like!!
1. If the sound is ‘new’ and it does this with the board up, something has 
changed so that the board can swing a little athwartship—puzzling to be 
sure—since there is likely little room for this given a pretty tight fit 
between the cb trunk walls and the board sides. Plus, the board pivots on a pin 
about 4 inches in diameter so again hard to see how it can ‘swing’ even a 
little?
2. If there is enough visibility in the river, I think the cable could be 
replaced in the water with a diver after it’s lowered fully (cable stop 
disabled so the board hangs further forward than in the normal down position). 
Finding a diver willing to do this is another matter!
3. Given the consequences of a failed cable, pivot pin, etc. I recommend that 
you get a diver to at least have a good look while you are on board to move the 
board up and down. If your cable fails in the board up position, the weighted 
board will fall, hitting the forward part of the trunk with such force that it 
likely will shear the board off the pin as the board continues forward and down 
to the bottom. Definitely not a fun day on the water—no need to ask how I know!!
Good luck!

Stus-List Hurth Transmission follow-up

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Just wanted to share that I finally finished the transmission install after it 
was professionally rebuilt.  My engine is a Universal M4-30 and the 
transmission is a Hurth 50.
 
FWIW, I paid a shop in South Amboy, NJ, $1700, to rebuild the transmission and 
reinstalled the unit myself after painting the engine and upgrading several 
components like new motor mounts and hoses.  I spent $2500 including buying 
some new battery powered tools, but it worked out well and she looks like a new 
engine in the boat.  I started writing up a "Lessons Learned" article to 
capture what I learned fi anyone is interested, let me know.

Even in murky water, it seems like a 20 second dive would give you the answer, 
unless the murk is caused by something nasty you don't want to swim in. You 
could always run a line from one side of the boat to the other and walk aft and 
see if you can tell if the board is hanging down.

Assuming it goes up and down as usual, the thunk would be side to side movement 
that the cable cannot change. Some boats just do this, I have heard of people

Are you sure it is coming from the CB and not the stern? We get some pretty

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Centerboard cable diagnostics or replacement

[Richard Bush via CnC-List]

Joe, thanks; this is a new development, we haven't had this "thump" noise 
before... we did run a line but weren't able to get a result we were sure of: I 
wasn't able to do a dive on the keel, but plan to do that as soon as I can; 
thanks!

Even in murky water, it seems like a 20 second dive would give you the answer, 
unless the murk is caused by something nasty you don’t want to swim in. You 
could always run a line from one side of the boat to the other and walk aft and 
see if you can tell if the board is hanging down.
 
Assuming it goes up and down as usual, the thunk would be side to side movement 
that the cable cannot change. Some boats just do this, I have heard of people 
swimming down and stuffing a sponge or two in the slot to get a quite night’s 
sleep.

Hi all; I have a 1985 C 37 with a centerboard; with the boat tied at the dock 
(we are at a fixed dock on a river) we notice a thunk sound that seems to be 
centerboard moving side-to-side when there was wave action; however, the 
centerboard cable remains tight and in its usual position (the centerboard is 
normally on the  "up" position, with the cable connected to a rope line which 
is on a cabin top winch. The line was replaced with new line last winter and is 
in good condition).  We were not able to see the bottom of the keel because the 
river water is too murky.
 
  
 
Does anyone have any suggestions or information about replacing the centerboard 
cable; can this be done in the water with a diver? Any other ideas welcome, 
thank you.

Stus-List Re: Lithium battery source in USA?

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

Dave,

I purchased batteries from lythbattery.com in China.  No complaints!

Check your insurance policy to make sure the batteries are not excluded
before you invest the money.

Hello all,
Looking to upgrade my new boat from agm to lithium and am wondering if anyone 
can recommend a source (industrial?) for LiFePo batteries.  Thanks!
