Be sure to put the house feed positive on the first battery and negative on
the second battery otherwise it will draw unevenly.

Stus-List Ft. Lauderdale / Miami Sailors

Hello Listers, while our C is tucked away buried in 2' of snow in
Kingston Ontario we've left the frozen north to winter in the Ft.
Lauderdale area.

I'm looking to get out sailing in the Florida area to get some more
experience with navigating around Florida for future cruising in
the Caribbean and Bahamas.

Anyone in the area have suggestions where to find a boat for some low-key
racing? Or just pleasure sailing?

Thanks,

Stus-List Re: anyone gone lithium?

2021-09-14 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
I bought 3x 100ah 12v Xubi LiFePo4 batteries from Alibaba. Shipping was
around 6-8 weeks with COVID.
I'm running 3x in parallel and so far they've been great. One 3 day trip
with motoring, and day cruising where I run the fridge and AP.

So far no issues.

If the BMS does disconnect for high-voltage cutoff while the Alternator is
charging / spinning then it's going to blow something up in the alternator.
To mitigate that I've been running our starting bank in parallel while the
motor is running (and most of the time sailing as well).

There is a relay that is available from Marine How-To that combines the
house and starting banks when the voltage is above 13.4v or something like
that.

The Xubi batteries are drop-in style and have a charging rate of 50A and
discharge of 100A, so plenty of power in and out for my needs. We have a
newer 40A charger that has no issues charging.

Usually my 30 minutes of motoring with the 2GM20 40A alternator charges me
back up to 90+% so I don't worry about topping them off.

It's only used for furlers to make sure there is sufficient angle between

Our 30-2 which is wire to rope has a simple metal bracket holding the
halyard to the mast to get sufficient angles, it seems less expensive then
a full sheve or pulley. You may want to look for something like that.

Ok so I'll just plug the holes with a dab of 5200 and glue it up at home

The even worst news is I seem to have a soggy core around the forward most

I'm hoping to dig it out using a nail on a drill bent at an angle, and the
once I get to solid wood let it dry, then fill with thickened epoxy. Does
that make sense? No way to get the headliner down easily and I don't want

Is this the black and orange 4 port manifold? If so, each side of the knobs

If they're sideways it will not work.

I ended up removing mine to get a better look. The difference in the ends

We had the opposite, speed didn't show, but direction did. Sending it to
Raymarine was a fixed rate repair. They replaced the speed portion of the

You can check the back of the unit to watch the voltage swings indicating
direction, but odds are it's the masthead sensor.

To verify, check the blue and green wires against the sheild. They will be
between 2 and 6v depending on the wind direction. Blue / Ground is port.

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

2018-06-04 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
I'm sure more experts will chime in here, but my understanding is that
water ingress is extremely common, our survey indicated the same, and a
previous survey also had a wet rudder.

During the previous survey we had some questions and our surveyor brought
in one of the main people from Bristol Marine, and they were also
unconcerned by the wet saturated rudder.

With that being said, expansion of freezing water could lead to splitting
of the rudder edges, which I understand to be more serious. We have been
drilling a small 1/4" hole yearly that gets patched I'm the spring with
G/Flex epoxy. The hole allows any excess water to drain.

We check for cracks quite closely during launching, but otherwise not too
concerned about the moisture.

Stus-List 30-2, Rod rigging tension and rake.

2018-05-19 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Hi all, our 30-2 is due to splash in a week, and this is the second full
season for us owning it, and it's our first boat, so I'm full of questions.

Originally, a rigger helping us move our boat mentioned he thought the
rigging was too loose and could use a few turns to tighten it up, so we
tightened across the board a few turns.

This year, I plan on using the Selden method, of attaching a dowel 2M up
from the turnbuckles and measuring the stretch in the rods and backstays to
get a better idea of tension, but I'm afraid that I may run out of
turnbuckle length, we were very close to bottoming out the turnbuckles last
year, and we still had floppy lowers at 15 knots close hauled.


Is this rod stretch? fiberglass creeping? Our chain plates are in excellent
condition, so it doesn't seem to be anything related to rot in the plates.

Could the core / aft placement of the mast chocks cause this? How does one
position the mast using the chocks? Equal amounts of space in the deck
opening? level mast (level to what?)

Also, does anyone know the suggested rake for a 30-2?


Thanks,
Chad

Re: Stus-List Mast Sensor

2018-04-06 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Yes, send it to Ray Marine and they'll fix it, flat rate of $125 or $150 I
think.

We did ours last summer and it came back in a few days with new internals.
(And some tool marks on the housing)

You start the repair process on their website and they'll issue a repair
number, ship it in and you're done.

I work with a few staff from the East Penn plant locally and they are

I am looking for 2 Deep 27's and expect to get one from CT on my funny

Re: Stus-List water heater

2018-03-02 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
We have the Kuuma, and the thermostat stopped working, it was out of
warranty and we were the second owners but they still shipped me a free
replacement part.

When you go to install it it is highly worth getting the bypass kit if it's
anything like ours and shoved down in a locker where it's hard to reach,
and impossible to remove the hoses. I found about 5 stainless steel screws
and a long Robertson bit with a screw still taped to it down in ours.

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

2018-02-25 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Ubiquiti Bullet M2. You won't find a lot of 5.8Ghz WiFi spots and the 2.4
is more forgiving for line of site.
A 8 or 9 dBi antenna would be good for most applications, once you get into
10dBi they can get pretty big and heavy.

The Ubiquiti gear is really top notch for the price, it's leaps and bounds
better then anything else out there.

Stus-List Where to by a Mastervolt battery charger in the USA

2018-02-05 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Hi,
I'm looking to replace my charger on my 30-2, it's humming and not charging
properly.

I've decided to look at the Mastervolt Chargemaster 12/35-3 for the 2x
100ah batteries, and similar sized start battery.

I'm not sure where the best place to order is, I have family on vacation in
Texas, so if anyone can suggest a mail order shop, I'll be able to ship it
to them and have them bring it back in March.

Thanks,
Chad

Re: Stus-List c 30 3 questions

2017-10-24 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Two adults in the forward berth is a little tight. We tried it once, and
only once.  We're both tall (5'10 and 6'2) and the starboard side has less
length then the port side.
The aft cabin is fine for us, and  occasionally one or two dogs (which
makes it a bit cozy)

I think all 30-2's have soggy rudders, our surveyor was not worried about
it, and we drilled a hole 6" from the bottom of the rudder, and let it
drain all winter. I repeated this year and didn't see any water on initial
drilling, so it doesn't seem that the intrusion is too bad.

Re: Stus-List First Haul Out/ Winter Layup

2017-10-16 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
I'd suggest removing all the heavy stuff before you haul out, otherwise
you're sending it down a rope.
Get a hot water tank bypass if you don't already have one.

Get some clear tubing in various sizes, I like to detach our water lines
from the tanks to use them with a hose, directly into the bottle, to keep
the antifreeze out of the tanks.

For the engine, I cut the water intake and will plumb in a T valve in the
spring, because removing the intake off the barbed connector is impossible.
Some people pour directly down the water strainer, but I have a hard enough
time getting the motor winterized as it is.

Buy about 6 jugs of plumbing antifreeze, you'll have lots left over, but
it's better to be excessive then have something break.

Don't forget your water intakes for toilet and sink (if you have a foot
pump). I found it easier to siphon the antifreeze down a hose, then stick
the hose up the intake hole while someone else pumped from inside, this
made it easier then taking the hoses off.

Re: Stus-List LED Interior Flourescent replacements

If you're a little more DIY, you can buy 3x of these:
https://www.ledsupply.com/leds/cree-xlamp-xm-l2-leds

and one of these at 1000ma
https://www.ledsupply.com/led-drivers/buckblock-dc-led-driver

Hook them up, the result is a nice warm light, with ample brightness, and 1
amp power draw.
They are bright, and will add a lot more light then the previous florescent
lights.

Re: Stus-List was considering C 25, now Pearson 27 or C 30

2017-09-07 Thread Chad Osmond via CnC-List
Hi, we've had two adults in the berth, 5'10 and 6'2.. it was a tad tight
but not horrible.

The boat itself is big enough that couples do live aboard, we had a couple
on our last dock living aboard.

As a new sailer, learning on a 30-2, I'd say it's good to learn on, we had
no issues going from our training boat to our 30-2. There is enough space
to enjoy and the walk through transom is one of the features we wanted on
the boat.

After 1.5 seasons of learning I am happy with the boat. It's easy for 2
people to handle or 1 with autopilot.
