True, but if I leave the batteries in it for a long time and they leak, the GPS 
could be harmed.  The time to install the batteries is minimal compared to the 
time to obtain a fix. 

The handheld is 3rd or 4th down the list in terms of use.

"but if I leave the batteries in it for a long time and they leak, the GPS
could be harmed. "

However, Lithium AA batteries are relatively inexpensive and have a shelf
life of 10 years or so so you could leave a pair of those in the 76 and not
have to worry about it for years at a time.  I use the low self-discharge
rechargeable nickel–metal hydride battery (LSD NiMH) Panasonic Eneloop in
mine and keep two more pairs in the 12v changer when on trips.  These will
not leak either so they can stay in the 76Csx as long as I wish to leave
them there.

Re: Stus-List Gas solenoid

2017-09-18 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List
Hi David,
The lighted switch under the sink turns on/off the solenoid.  So, you need 
power to it from your panel switch, and you need the switch on to allow the 
solenoid to turn on the whole system.  Interesting that it keeps clicking off 
sounds like a short.  

You might want to turn off the switch under the sink and see if that keeps the 
circuit breaker from tripping.  

Thankfully the solenoids are not only cheap, they're readily available - I 
would try an RV store if there is one nearby.  Much cheaper than "marine".  

Good luck! Bruce Whitmore

Re: Stus-List Danfoss Compressor Controller

2017-09-18 Thread Ken Heaton via CnC-List
Hi Edd,

If your existing refrigerator is powered by a Danfoss or Secop compressor
(BD35, BD50F and BD80F compressor) with one of the following controllers on
the side of the Compressor:

DC ONLY: 101N0210, 101N0320, 101N0400, 101N0410,  010-1153

AC & DC: 101N0500, 101N0600 and 101N0630


...which looks like this: http://www.swrefrigeration.com/photo/

...you may want to look at the http://stainlesslobster.com/ Josh
recommended.  It seems to be the best solution currently out there.  And it
seems really easy to install, basically, Plug and Play.

Re: Stus-List GPS, Chart Plodders and Technology when there is none

2017-09-18 Thread Frederick G Street via CnC-List
Marek — thanks for the nice words!  I’m firmly of the belief that if you’re 
sailing ocean waters, you should have a permanently installed, dedicated nav 
system of some sort aboard, with a laptop or (more preferably) a waterproof 
handheld GPS as a backup.  We’ve had lots of discussions of the benefits of 
laptop or tablet-based nav systems on the list; but in my experience, those 
systems are prone to fail at the worst possible time, i.e. when the weather is 
really bad and the boat is getting beat up.  At those times, you really need 
reliable nav info at the helm, where you’re doing the driving; not down below.

There are a bunch of relatively inexpensive but decent plotters out there; most 
of them now have internal GPS antennas, so they’re very easy to install with a 
minimum of fuss.  With a smaller subset of these, you can move up a notch and 
expand the capabilities by adding a radome and/or networked data like 
instruments and AIS.  Many of these are still under $1000 to get into; and you 
can start with a basic system, then add things as you can afford them.

For those of you new to the list, I spent several years as an ABYC- and 
NMEA-certified marine electrician and electronics installer up in my sailing 
grounds, the upper Great Lakes.  I’ve kept my vendor relationships, and offer 
advice and design services to those on the list, along with marine electronics 
at dealer pricing.  If I can be of any further assistance, please email me on 
or off the list.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: as far as electronic charts go, all of the 
Raymarine plotters can be ordered with Navionics+ North America chips at a very 
reasonable cost; these charts are complete for BOTH US and Canadian waters, 
both coastal and inland.  I think the new Axiom 7” plotters from Raymarine are 
a particularly good value; fast new processors, the latest operating software 
and very attractive prices.

Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

2017-09-18 Thread Randal Stafford via CnC-List
Listers-

I’m having a problem with my Atomic 4, and hoped you might have some thoughts 
to share.

When I went out for a sail yesterday, she started right up, as always.  But 
then she cut out heading away from the marina.  Initially I suspected a fuel 
flow problem, as the petcock on the tank has become difficult to turn.  After 
ensuring the petcock was in the open position and the tank was full, she 
started right up again and ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes.  Then she cut 
out again, and wouldn’t start back up after some cranking.  I sailed for a 
couple hours anyway.  When I tried to start her to come back in, nothing 
happened when I pressed the starter button.  I assumed my batteries didn’t have 
enough amperage for the starter, after all the previous cranking, though my 
other electronics were running fine.  So I docked under sail power, pulled the 
batteries, and brought them home to charge.  They both tested at 12.7 volts and 
83% charge when I put them on my charger.  Now they’re both at 100% and 12.9 
volts.

So I now suspect a faulty ignition circuit, and possibly a faulty starter 
circuit.  Perhaps a loose connection or broken wire is having the same effect 
as pushing in the ignition switch.  I’ve yet to get into the lazarette and 
start tracing the wiring and testing with a multimeter, but that’s my next 
step.  I thought I’d write the list first to see if anyone has any quick 
hypotheses.

Thanks in Advance,

I’m having a problem with my Atomic 4, and hoped you might have some thoughts 
to share.

When I went out for a sail yesterday, she started right up, as always.  But 
then she cut out heading away from the marina.  Initially I suspected a fuel 
flow problem, as the petcock on the tank has become difficult to turn.  After 
ensuring the petcock was in the open position and the tank was full, she 
started right up again and ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes.  Then she cut 
out again, and wouldn’t start back up after some cranking.  I sailed for a 
couple hours anyway.  When I tried to start her to come back in, nothing 
happened when I pressed the starter button.  I assumed my batteries didn’t have 
enough amperage for the starter, after all the previous cranking, though my 
other electronics were running fine.  So I docked under sail power, pulled the 
batteries, and brought them home to charge.  They both tested at 12.7 volts and 
83% charge when I put them on my charger.  Now they’re both at 100% and 12.9 
volts.

So I now suspect a faulty ignition circuit, and possibly a faulty starter 
circuit.  Perhaps a loose connection or broken wire is having the same effect 
as pushing in the ignition switch.  I’ve yet to get into the lazarette and 
start tracing the wiring and testing with a multimeter, but that’s my next

Re: Stus-List Danfoss Compressor Controller

2017-09-18 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List
Ken,

The compressor doesn’t look 100% like that, but it’s close. 

Nova Kool says they haven’t sold the unit in 25 years, and has no explanation 
about the lights. They sell replacement thermostats without LEDs, but I kinda 
like the LED so I can see if the thing is actually powered and running without 
going into the aft cabin, closing the door, etc., etc.

They also say it uses “Refrigerant 12”, which is no longer available, but I may 
not need it anyway since it appears the unit is cooling. I’ll have to do some 
more tests to know for sure, I guess. 

The Stainless Lobster looks pretty cool, but like its crustacean namesake, 
pretty damn pricey! Before I lay out $250 on a maybe, I need to determine 
whether or not I’ll need to swap out the entire unit for something AC/DC and 
probably more efficient. 

And then, of course, weigh that against just buying a $3.00 bag of ice when I 
need it.  

All the best,

Edd

Stus-List Garhauer Story...

2017-09-18 Thread David via CnC-List
So I have been volunteering at the Marion-Bermuda Race for the past 10 years or 
so and the booth that is located right across from ours is Garhauer.  I would 
see folks manning the booth but was usually too busy to think much more of it 
as we were busy fielding our own visitors.

Well this past Sunday I find myself talking with a gentleman at our booth that 
was from Garhauer and it was Guido!  We had a nice conversation about how the 
company started and I thought you might appreciate the great story he conveyed.

They started the company in 1971 and the name Garhauer is a compilation of the 
first half of Guido’s last name and the last half of Bill’s (the other founder) 
last name.
Bill was in tooling and Guido in engineering at another non-marine company when 
they started talking about starting their own company.  Not knowing what 
product line to manufacture they started to look around at opportunities.  Bill 
owned a sailboat and they looked critically at its hardware and the market.

So…they amble over to MacGregor yachts and in the middle of a parking lot full 
of boats on trailers they were approached by a gentleman who asked if they 
needed help.  They asked to speak with Roger MacGregor.  Well that gentleman 
was Roger MacGregor!   After talking about why they were there, Roger invited 
them back to his office.

Roger showed them the mast cradle used when the mast was stepped for trailering 
(it was inserted into the gudgeons) and asked them for an estimate.  They gave 
him one on the spot and Roger ordered 200 units right there.   That started 
them on their path to become a vendor of most of the boat manufactures in the 
Costa Mesa area for years to come.

Whereas in the past manufacturers was their primary customer and the retail 
customer a small piece.  Presently the inverse, not surprisingly, is now true.

Guido is a very nice man and I was sure to enthusiastically convey all your C & 
C accolades of his great customer service and products.

Re: Stus-List GPS, Chart Plodders and Technology when there is none

2017-09-18 Thread jackbrennan via CnC-List
Of course, the caveat to all of this is that,  depending on where you sail, 
even up-to-date charts can be anywhere from mildly off to wildly and 
dangerously inaccurate.

In the Keys and South and West Florida, where sand shifts all of the time, 
TowboatUS and Seatow do a fine business from boaters blindly following their 
chartplotters. Many inlets and channels in West Florida have nasty, uncharted 
sandbars.

After Irma, forget about it. Who knows what's where? You could go aground on a 
sunken boat.

Depth sounders and the ability to read water are more valuable navigation tools 
in places like this. I like paper charts because you get a bigger view. A GPS 
is wonderful for confirming that you are where you think you are. 

Still, I get the allure of all that gear. I crewed on a friend's catamaran to 
Fantasy Fest in Key West last fall. His electronics were several times more 
valuable than many of our boats.

I felt like I was on the con of the Starship Enterprise. Especially when we hit 
warp speed (10+ knots). The only thing the electronics couldn't do was spot 
crab pots at night. :)

I agree with Jack, as well; but the original post was sent by a person who 
sails in the Vancouver Island area, which has far less shifting sand and far 
more immovable rock…   :^)

Any electronic device is not a replacement for good seamanship and piloting — 
but it can definitely be of great help when the wether goes bad or it’s dark 
out.  You still have a responsibility for keeping proper lookout, and for 
double-checking your position.

Stus-List Factory Direct RIB

2017-09-18 Thread Danny Haughey via CnC-List

Hello all,

I'm considering ordering a RIB factory direct and want to throw the idea 
out there and if there were any opinions on the topic.


So, a 10ish foot PVC tube, Aluminum hull is about $900 and about $300 
hundred to ship to Boston.  I'm not completely convinced on the aluminum 
solution and may stick with Fiberglass.


These look like the same boats sold under various names, North Atlantic, 
Coastal, Highfield  all of which were offering a 10ish footer at the 
boat show for $2000.


The $893 boat is for 0.9MM 16 inch tubes.  I'm also asking for the 1.2MM 
fabric quote.  One company only upped the price by $65 for the heavier 
fabric


Anyone have any thoughts?

Anyone interested in buying a rib this way?

One nice thing is that they have started offering the tube cover or 
Dinghy chaps right from the factory.


I was considering ordering a full package including a trailer.

So far I've got a price for;

Boat, aluminum hull no bow locker $893 plus $90 for the bow locker
Chaps $80
Boat Cover $30
Trailer $560
SubTotal $1563
Shipping Approx $500 (adding over $200 beyond the quote to cover 
whatever...)

total $2063

So, for the price of the boat at the show, I could get all the extras 
shipped to Boston.  Price on the trailer is pretty good given it is the 
roller type not the bunk style.  I can get the bunk type locally for $699.


The trickiest part is the shipping.  I'm not quite sure how that all 
works and how I'd receive the shipment.


Do I have to go to the docks and get it?

Anyway, it's my frugal self trying to get a deal!  The shipping is the 
only savings if ordering more than one so not a deal breaker either way 
in my opinion.

plugs and see how they look and hope you don't get water out.


I did have an issue with a bad wire to the coil.  it seemed the wire 
would heat up and beak the connection somehow after running a bit and 
then allow it to start again after it cooled a while.  I replaced the 
wire and it did the trick.

Subject: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

Listers-

I’m having a problem with my Atomic 4, and hoped you might have some thoughts 
to share.

When I went out for a sail yesterday, she started right up, as always.  But 
then she cut out heading away from the marina.  Initially I suspected a fuel 
flow problem, as the petcock on the tank has become difficult to turn.  After 
ensuring the petcock was in the open position and the tank was full, she 
started right up again and ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes.  Then she cut 
out again, and wouldn’t start back up after some cranking.  I sailed for a 
couple hours anyway.  When I tried to start her to come back in, nothing 
happened when I pressed the starter button.  I assumed my batteries didn’t have 
enough amperage for the starter, after all the previous cranking, though my 
other electronics were running fine.  So I docked under sail power, pulled the 
batteries, and brought them home to charge.  They both tested at 12.7 volts and 
83% charge when I put them on my charger.  Now they’re both at 100% and 12.9 
volts.

So I now suspect a faulty ignition circuit, and possibly a faulty starter 
circuit.  Perhaps a loose connection or broken wire is having the same effect 
as pushing in the ignition switch.  I’ve yet to get into the lazarette and 
start tracing the wiring and testing with a multimeter, but that’s my next 
step.  I thought I’d write the list first to see if anyone has any quick 
hypotheses.

Thanks in Advance,

When I owned an Atomic 4, I was told to close the water intake when cranking 
the engine for more than a few seconds because the waterways in the block were 
open at the top and would splash into the oil sump under heavy cranking.  After 
a number of initial problems with water in the oil, this cleared things up, so 
I always believed it.  
 
I had a similar issue with that engine cutting out.  In that case the issue was 
a hairline crack in the rotor in the distributor.  When it heated up enough, it 
would distort and no longer make proper contact with the points.  
 
I sold that boat to buy my 30-2 with a Yanmar and have never regretted it!  
Diesels have their own challenges, but it just seems like there is a lot more 
to wrong with an A4.

I rebuilt my Raritan.  I don't completely understand why the price is so
high but the company is quite proud of their product being "glass lined"?

Here are rebuild pics:

Stus-List 2018 C&C Northeast Rendezvous -- Please Take our Survey

2017-09-18 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List
Listers,

Please take our short online survey regarding the 2018 C&C Rendezvous in Port 
Jefferson, NY — https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QZ2S52J 
 

The sooner we obtain information, the sooner we can lock down dates, marinas, 
restaurants etc. 

Port Jefferson was selected due to its mid-Sound location and easy access for 
those who won’t come by boat (Long Island Expressway or Bridgeport Ferry). We 
are thinking Danford's Hotel Marina and Spa, but possibly also moorings at Port 
Jeff Yacht Club for those who don’t want to shell out “big bucks” for a slip. 

Great choice of restaurants, great hotel for those coming by car, and a 
well-protected harbor. 

Rendezvous “Movie Teaser” — https://youtu.be/OxOu2Ciucy0 
 

All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

2017-09-18 Thread Randy Stafford via CnC-List
Thanks Danny and Jim.  I registered on the Moyer Marine forum and will post the 
question there as well.

I doubt I cranked it enough to hydro-lock it.  When it cut out the last time, I 
cranked it twice for maybe five or six seconds each time.  Enough to suck fuel 
through if necessary, but no more.  There’s no point in continuing to crank, I 
figure, and risk running the batteries down.  If it won’t start in a few 
seconds of cranking then something is wrong.

But I didn’t know about the hydro-locking potential.  I’ll change the oil and 
pull the plugs and see what it looks like.

But even hydro-locking wouldn’t explain why the starter wouldn’t operate when I 
pushed the starter button the last time and nothing happened.  I’m inclined to 
suspect one or more faulty circuits.

Cheers,
Randy

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

2017-09-18 Thread Danny Haughey via CnC-List
the guy sitting in the office next to me just went through this on his 
powerboat with a V8. He said the same thing and thought it had to be the 
starter.  I guess the starter will push against the locked engine and 
stay there.  Then it has no where to go and is all stuck.  He pulled his 
plugs and got water out.

When I owned an Atomic 4, I was told to close the water intake when

under heavy cranking.  After a number of initial problems with water 
in the oil, this cleared things up, so I always believed it.
I had a similar issue with that engine cutting out.  In that case the 
issue was a hairline crack in the rotor in the distributor.  When it 
heated up enough, it would distort and no longer make proper contact 
with the points.
I sold that boat to buy my 30-2 with a Yanmar and have never 
regretted it!  Diesels have their own challenges, but it just seems 
like there is a lot more to wrong with an A4.

depending on how much cranking you did, could be hydro locked?
pull the
plugs and see how they look and hope you don't get water out.

I did have an issue with a bad wire to the coil.  it seemed the wire

Initially I suspected a fuel flow problem, as the petcock on the
tank has become difficult to turn. After ensuring the petcock was
in the open position and the tank was full, she started right up
again and ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes. Then she cut out
again, and wouldn’t start back up after some cranking. I sailed
for a couple hours anyway. When I tried to start her to come back
in, nothing happened when I pressed the starter button. I assumed
my batteries didn’t have enough amperage for the starter, after
all the previous cranking, though my other electronics were
running fine. So I docked under sail power, pulled the batteries,
and brought them home to charge. They both tested at 12.7 volts
and 83% charge when I put them on my charger. Now they’re both at
100% and 12.9 volts.

If you water lock it, it won’t crank anymore (nor you would be able to turn it 
over by hand). Don’t ask how I know.

Mostly lurk on this list since I bought a Sabre instead of C&C.

I live in Port Angeles, WA. Just wanted to say that I would make radar a
high priority in these waters.  Virtually any boat venturing into the
Strait of Juan de Fuca has radar, down to the 20 foot fishing boats.

Best of luck.

I have general charts aboard and tools to dead reckon with! I can see no reason 
to not have at least a handheld GPS aboard with batteries. If you can swing it 
though you should have a plotter!  Great peace of mind!
I think I would prefer having AIS to radar. I have the radar but no AIS 
currently!
A good friend said the added benefit of AIS is knowing how many folks (roughly) 
are in the anchorage before you pull in! 
I have read some very negative feedback on real time tests on radar reflectors?

Listers,


Please take our short online survey regarding the 2018 C&C Rendezvous in Port 
Jefferson, NY — https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QZ2S52J 


The sooner we obtain information, the sooner we can lock down dates, marinas, 
restaurants etc. 


Port Jefferson was selected due to its mid-Sound location and easy access for 
those who won’t come by boat (Long Island Expressway or Bridgeport Ferry). We 
are thinking Danford's Hotel Marina and Spa, but possibly also moorings at Port 
Jeff Yacht Club for those who don’t want to shell out “big bucks” for a slip. 


Great choice of restaurants, great hotel for those coming by car, and a 
well-protected harbor. 


Rendezvous “Movie Teaser” — https://youtu.be/OxOu2Ciucy0 



All the best,


Edd

 The boat is leaking a fair bit of oil which ends up in the bilge.  The

 Has any one replaced a similar engine?  What with and how did it go?  Any

I absolutely agree about radar, especially with all the large amount of vessel 
traffic and the chance for fog.  But radar will cost more than triple the 
amount you’ll pay for a smallish plotter, by the time you figure in the dome, 
the mount and the installation.  That’s what I suggested getting a 
radar-capable plotter first, then add things as you go.

I also agree with Rick’s suggestion about AIS; but you need to remember that 
not all vessels have AIS transponders.  I’m seeing far more of it on 
recreational vessels in my area; but there are still many commercial vessels 
under 300 tons that aren’t required to carry it, and don’t.  Radar will still 
see those vessels.

In the end, all of the toys will give you more and more info; sometimes more 
than you can keep track of, and the plotter just becomes a big video game.  
Don’t forget to look outside the boat…   :^)

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

Randy,Are you getting any noise out of starter (click) when trying to start? 
Even if you are hydro locked you should hear a click at the starter solenoid if 
electrics are good. Check the coil for cracks, check points and condenser, or 
electronic pick-up, ignition switch for loose/bad connections.  Good luck.

When I went out for a sail yesterday, she started right up, as always.  But 
then she cut out heading away from the marina.  Initially I suspected a fuel 
flow problem, as the petcock on the tank has become difficult to turn.  After 
ensuring the petcock was in the open position and the tank was full, she 
started right up again and ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes.  Then she cut 
out again, and wouldn’t start back up after some cranking.  I sailed for a 
couple hours anyway.  When I tried to start her to come back in, nothing 
happened when I pressed the starter button.  I assumed my batteries didn’t have 
enough amperage for the starter, after all the previous cranking, though my 
other electronics were running fine.  So I docked under sail power, pulled the 
batteries, and brought them home to charge.  They both tested at 12.7 volts and 
83% charge when I put them on my charger.  Now they’re both at 100% and 12.9 
volts.

So I now suspect a faulty ignition circuit, and possibly a faulty starter 
circuit.  Perhaps a loose connection or broken wire is having the same effect 
as pushing in the ignition switch.  I’ve yet to get into the lazarette and 
start tracing the wiring and testing with a multimeter, but that’s my next 
step.  I thought I’d write the list first to see if anyone has any quick 
hypotheses.

Thanks in Advance,

When I first bought Pegasus I installed a 6 gallon Isotherm. Would keep water 
hot several hours, and warm for 24+ hours. All stainless steel construction.  
Wish I had one on Rebecca Leah.

Re: Stus-List GPS, Chart Plodders and Technology when there is none

I have radar and AIS receiver on Pegasus, radar and installing AIS transponder  
on Rebecca Leah. I was cruising near Port Townsend in the fog when the screen 
of my radar went blank. Had the AIS receiver so was able to see the ferry that 
was too close for comfort. Called him on the radio. Was able to avoid a bad 
situation.  If interested in AIS talk to Doug Miller at MilltechMarine.com He 
is who I bought my LF39 from and he hooked me up with the AIS transponder.

Of course, the caveat to all of this is that,  depending on where you sail, 
even up-to-date charts can be anywhere from mildly off to wildly and

In the Keys and South and West Florida, where sand shifts all of the time, 
TowboatUS and Seatow do a fine business from boaters blindly following their 
chartplotters. Many inlets and channels in West Florida have nasty, uncharted 
sandbars.
After Irma, forget about it. Who knows what's where? You could go aground on a 
sunken boat.
Depth sounders and the ability to read water are more valuable navigation tools 
in places like this. I like paper charts because you get a bigger view. A GPS 
is wonderful for confirming that you are where you think you are. 
Still, I get the allure of all that gear. I crewed on a friend's catamaran to 
Fantasy Fest in Key West last fall. His electronics were several times more 
valuable than many of our boats.
I felt like I was on the con of the Starship Enterprise. Especially when we hit 
warp speed (10+ knots). The only thing the electronics couldn't do was spot 
crab pots at night. :)

Agreed. Radar is expensive. My boat came with a 10-year old or so Raymarine
chart plotter/radar. I looked into replacing the chart plotter since it has
some issues losing GPS fix. Discovered that I'd also have to replace the
radar.  So deferring chart plotter replacement for another season.

I replaced mine with another Raritan.  The bottom of my old one rusted
out.  The new ones are plastic on the outside- won't rust.  I bought
mine from Columbia Marine Exchange in Portland.  Cheaper than Defender.
They can probably have it drop shipped to you.  Check out their web site,
and give Kim a call.  If you get a different brand, check the dimensions
carefully, or it may not fit through the hatch.

People on this list should be complimented that so many former C&C owners 
continue to lurk here.

I for one think it's the one of best sources of reliable information on the 
Internet for maintaining and upgrading sailboats. Dennis, Fred, Wally and many 
others have given me quite an education over the 16 years I've been reading 
their posts.

Other email sailing lists tend to be plagued by a scarcity of real experts, 
flamers, know nothings who believe they know it all, big personalities who 
argue at the drop of a hat and more. This list somehow tends to avoid all of 
that.

Besides, who knows, maybe someday we'll come back to the C&C fold. :) 

I know that if I could get some lingering health issues under control, I might 
be tempted by the right Landfall or a centerboard C&C for more extended 
cruising.

Pretty much any cabinet maker in your area should be able to reproduce 
them.  If you can salvage the face off the drawers you'll

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

Might try checking the ground on the engine.  Mine had that problem a 
number of years ago, taking it off and cleaning it up
solved the problem.  Of course mine is a diesel and yours is gas, but I 
would expect that the ground would be wired similarly.

Food for thought.

Are you getting any noise out of starter (click) when trying to

Check the coil for cracks, check points and condenser, or electronic 
pick-up, ignition switch for loose/bad connections.

Good luck.

Subject: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

Listers-

I’m having a problem with my Atomic 4, and hoped you might have some 
thoughts to share.


When I went out for a sail yesterday, she started right up, as 
always.  But then she cut out heading away from the marina.  
Initially I suspected a fuel flow problem, as the petcock on the tank 
has become difficult to turn.  After ensuring the petcock was in the 
open position and the tank was full, she started right up again and 
ran smoothly for a good 10 minutes.  Then she cut out again, and 
wouldn’t start back up after some cranking.  I sailed for a couple 
hours anyway.  When I tried to start her to come back in, nothing 
happened when I pressed the starter button.  I assumed my batteries 
didn’t have enough amperage for the starter, after all the previous 
cranking, though my other electronics were running fine.  So I docked 
under sail power, pulled the batteries, and brought them home to 
charge.  They both tested at 12.7 volts and 83% charge when I put 
them on my charger.  Now they’re both at 100% and 12.9 volts.


So I now suspect a faulty ignition circuit, and possibly a faulty 
starter circuit.  Perhaps a loose connection or broken wire is having 
the same effect as pushing in the ignition switch.  I’ve yet to get 
into the lazarette and start tracing the wiring and testing with a 
multimeter, but that’s my next step.  I thought I’d write the list 
first to see if anyone has any quick hypotheses.


Thanks in Advance,

People on this list should be complimented that so many former C&C owners 
continue to lurk here.
I for one think it's the one of best sources of reliable information on the 
Internet for maintaining and upgrading sailboats. Dennis, Fred, Wally and many 
others have given me quite an education over the 16 years I've been reading 
their posts.
Other email sailing lists tend to be plagued by a scarcity of real experts, 
flamers, know nothings who believe they know it all, big personalities who 
argue at the drop of a hat and more. This list somehow tends to avoid all of 
that.
Besides, who knows, maybe someday we'll come back to the C&C fold. :) 
I know that if I could get some lingering health issues under control, I might 
be tempted by the right Landfall or a centerboard C&C for more extended 
cruising.

Marek — with the exception of the occasional “RTFM” comment ("read the f@%*ing 
manual”…), I tend to be a friendly kind of guy…   :^)

I think the Sabres of the mid- to late-1990’s and early to mid 2000’s are what 
C&C could have been if they had been able to stay in business and stable.  
They’re nice to look at, well-designed down below, and sail pretty darn well.  
I love the fact that the 36 my slip-neighbor owns has the head at the bottom of 
the companionway (with a separate shower stall).  The rest of the boat is great 
down below as well, and the build quality is outstanding.

There’s been a 42 recently down in Florida that I’ve been drooling over… I 
wonder if she’s still afloat after Irma…

Re: Stus-List Transmission position while sailing

Neil,

 

I keep my transmission in reverse after setting my folding prop.  This holds 
the shaft in place.  I have heard and read that Yanmar does not recommend using 
reverse.   Perhaps that only applies to the fixed prop, like Joel mentions.

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

2017-09-18 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List
Hello all,
I think I would reiterate what a few have said here, but the diagnostics are as 
follows:
1).  If the engine is making no noise whatsoever when the pushbutton switch is 
depressed, check the switch first.  You should be able to do this by jumping 
the contacts momentarily.  I had a switch fail, and its pretty easy to find a 
replacement.  Based on your description, I would not expect a hydrolock, but of 
course, its best to close the seacock until you can get the engine running so 
you don't suck water into the engine.  Jump other places as needed to confirm 
the issue.  

2).  As for it dying there are two issues to suspect.  First is the coil.  When 
the get hot, they can fail, and then allow you to restart at another time.  
That has nothing to do with the engine not turning over, though (of course).  
The second, and also very high on potential failure issues is the combination 
of points & condenser.  After 10+ years of owning our 1977 C&C 27 MKIII, I 
converted it to electronic ignition by ordering the parts from Moyer Marine.  
When I got done adding up the cost of points, condenser, cap & rotor, a couple 
changes and it almost equaled the cost of the Moyer conversion.  It was VERY 
easy to install, and the reliability of the motor jumped 100%.  No more 
overheated coils, burned distributor caps, and even the plugs ran a lot 
cleaner.  Just the ability to rely on the engine to a much greater extent was 
worth the money.  Crank the engine with a plug out, stuck in the plug wire cap 
and grounded to the engine, and if you don't have spark, its definitely an 
ignition issue.  If the coil is oily on the outside (or is cracked), then 
definitely replace the coil as a first step.  By the way the coils and even the 
points & condensers can normally be found at an auto parts store - look up the 
conversions online, or if you can't find them, email me and I can probably get 
them for you.  

3).  Dying can also be caused by a carburetor problem, most likely a clogged 
jet.  The carburetor is again, VERY easy to overhaul, and if you are gentle 
taking it apart, you can probably do it without replacing any of the gaskets in 
a pinch.  I did so for years, and never had to buy new gaskets, but of course 
others here might criticize me for not doing so.  Again, this would have 
nothing to do with the engine not turning over.
Don Moyer's A-4 manual is also highly recommended.  It's not cheap, but between 
the well written descriptions and the photos, its a real lifesaver (much better 
than the Yanmar manufacturer manuals IMHO).
Feel free to drop me an email directly or call my number below if you need more 
info.
Kindest Regards,

Even if you are hydro locked you should hear a click at the starter solenoid if

Folding and feathering props can stay open if you don't stop the shaft by
putting it in reverse.  With a fixed prop you can reduce drag by "trailing
the shaft" and leaving it in neutral.  The problem is that some
transmissions don't get properly lubricated in this condition (IIRC:
paragon?)  Reverse should always be fine no matter what engine/transmission.

Re: Stus-List Transmission position while sailing - Yanmar

2017-09-18 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List
Hi Josh,
I was really curious when I read about the proper position of the shifter, and 
found multiple references of the following advisory purportedly from Yanmar as 
follows"
And for Yanmar/Kanzaki:

Advisory Number: MSA08-003:

DATE February 8, 2008 Dealers and OEMs
TO: All Marine Distributors
SUBJECT: Gear in Neutral While Sailing All MODELS:

All Sailboat Engines

We continue to get questions regarding the correct gear position while sailing 
with the engine OFF. This advisory is issued as a reminder; Yanmar requires 
that if sailing with the engine OFF (not running) the transmission shifter must 
be in the neutral position or internal damage to the gear or sail-drive will 
result. This damage will not be covered by Yanmar’s Limited Warranty. Please 
instruct customers and dealers who deliver the sailboat to the customer, of the 
correct (Neutral) position for the marine gear while sailing.

If the customer desires that the propeller shaft not spin while sailing, either 
a folding propeller, shaft break, or other suitable device may be used. 
However, Yanmar accepts no responsibility for the selection, installation, or 
operation of such devices. Please also refer to Marine service advisory 
“MSA07-001_Yanmar Sail Drive Propeller Selection” for additional information.

If you have any questions regarding this advisory please contact a Customer 
Support representative."


The reason for failure mode, as was describe to me, is that in reverse the 
clutch cones can chatter, quiver or vibrate against one another causing wear 
which eventually leads to slippage and a gear box re-build. Many already know 
how difficult a Kanzaki can be to get out of reverse after sailing with it 
locked.

Here's a quote from the SBO forums:

when sailing. After considerable discussion with Yamnar they advised they would 
not consider warranty (was passed the hours for that anyway). Upshot is new 
transmission. They advised that the cone clutch does "quiver" (my term) even 
though locked into reverse, producing wear and eventually slippage.
I don't like believing everything I read on the internet, but I kept coming 
across this advisory.

Hi Randy,

  a common wiring configuration has a positive wire coming from the starter stud
to the ignition switch in. The ignition switch out feeds the ignition coil, 
starter button
and gauges. If you pull the ignition switch on it should move the fuel gauge, 
ignition
off might return the gauge to empty.

  If so that will confirm power is getting to and through the ignition switch.

With a Max-prop, the transmission should be put in reverse, while the boat
is moving forward,  This feathers the prop, and keeps it from turning past
the feathered position.  Good for all engines.

Re: Stus-List GPS, Chart Plodders and Technology when there is none

2017-09-18 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
Actually, there is no FEDERAL chart carriage requirement (in the US) for 
recreational boats. There may be a requirement is some states, but I’m not 
aware of any.

 

For a US vessel carrying paying passengers, you must have paper charts (Unless 
you have a really elaborate and expensive electronic charting system like those 
approved for large commercial vessels like cruise ships.), and the charts must 
be updated to the latest Local Notice to Mariners (LNM). Keeping a set of 
charts up to date every week can be a big drain on time; trust me I used to do 
it. The real problem was keeping all the other stuff you need to carry, like 
the Light List & Coast Pilot, on a passenger vessel up to date.

 

The way we kept up to date charts on the schooner of which I was Master was to 
periodically print a set of NOAA Booklet Charts for the area in which we did 
trips. NOAA now has a page on the chart website where you check the date of the 
most recent changes to a chart if you know the chart number, which makes 
printing a current Booklet Chart a fairly easy proposition. 

 

And at least in District 5, having a current Booklet Chart satisfies the 
carriage requirement for the USCG Certificate of Inspection so I assume it 
would also satisfy the requirement for an Uninspected Passenger Vessel (6 Pack) 
as well.

Even the ones that NOAA gives away aren't officially authorized for navigation. 
 The exception is when a certified chart printer is used to print the charts 
from the free files.  Obviously there is a charge for such services.

Denis,

 

If you keep the GPS without the batteries, it would take longer to get the 
first fix. Since the 76 is a fairly old device (I have a 76s for 12 years; if I 
remember, it has only 24 MB of memory!) that first fix can take 15 minutes.

 

There is always a compromise.

Re: Stus-List Water tank replacement

2017-09-18 Thread Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List
If you can’t find what you need from Kracor, try Ronco.  They have a lot of 
tank sizes and shapes to choose from (including the unique holding tank from a 
34).  Shipping costs are a bit of an issue because they come from California.

Jim — look at the following PDF.  I’m pretty sure the tanks you need are on 
page 11 — the 4071 and 5139 model: 

www.postaudio.net/webserver/Kracor_water_and_holding_tanks.pdf

Kracor is located in Wisconsin, and as far as I know, they can still supply 
these.

Re: Stus-List A4 Cutting Out

2017-09-18 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List
Good point, Michael.  There is a significant difference that I failed to 
mention between the in/out ignition switch and the push button, and in 
retrospect it may have been the push/pull that I replaced - It's been a lot of 
years, and I just replaced a different type of silver pushbutton switch on my 
37/40+.  

Good insights from all,

Hi Randy,

  a common wiring configuration has a positive wire coming from the starter stud
to the ignition switch in. The ignition switch out feeds the ignition coil, 
starter button
and gauges. If you pull the ignition switch on it should move the fuel gauge, 
ignition
off might return the gauge to empty.

  If so that will confirm power is getting to and through the ignition switch.

Hi Doug,

No noise whatsoever when I pushed the starter button.  It was as if there 
wasn?t enough current to activate the starter, but the batteries *did* have 
enough charge at the time.

Cheers,
Randy

Re: Stus-List GPS, Chart Plodders and Technology when there is none

2017-09-18 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
I’ve been thinking about upgrading the Garmin 541S (5”) plotter at the helm of 
Imzadi to a larger display (Old Eyes, I freely admit) so I’ve been looking at 
the alternatives from Garmin. I think all of those I’ve looked at come with 
Bluechart G2 charts for the entire US plus coastal Canadian waters.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: as far as electronic charts go, all of the 
Raymarine plotters can be ordered with Navionics+ North America chips at a very 
reasonable cost; these charts are complete for BOTH US and Canadian waters, 
both coastal and inland.  I think the new Axiom 7” plotters from Raymarine are 
a particularly good value; fast new processors, the latest operating software 
and very attractive prices.

Re: Stus-List Transmission position while sailing - Yanmar

2017-09-18 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
The proper gear for sailing will depend on the transmission in the boat… and 
probably on the type/brand of propeller.  (My Gori prop suggests shifting to 
reverse to close the prop and then going to neutral. The old Martec needed to 
be in reverse to keep it closed.)

 

Bruce has answered the question for the Yanmar/Kanzaki combination. The manual 
for the Hurth transmission behind my Universal engine says it is best left in 
neutral, but reverse is OK. The Allison transmission on the schooner said to 
keep it in neutral  (as being in gear would damage the clutch discs) but 
strongly recommended a shaft brake to stop the fixed prop from windmilling. (It 
seems counterintuitive, but the manual said a non-rotating fixed blade prop - 
particularly one with 2 blades in a vertical orientation behind the keel - 
generated less drag than a windmilling prop.) Someone already pointed out that 
a Paragon doesn’t get lubricated if the engine is not running. I don’t know 
what a ZF or other transmission might require.

 

But I’m pretty sure that the transmission manufacturer web site or tech support 
will tell you what is correct for your particular combination of prop and 
transmission.

Hi Josh,

 

I was really curious when I read about the proper position of the shifter, and 
found multiple references of the following advisory purportedly from Yanmar as 
follows"

 

And for Yanmar/Kanzaki:

Advisory Number: MSA08-003:

DATE February 8, 2008 Dealers and OEMs
TO: All Marine   
Distributors
SUBJECT: Gear in Neutral While Sailing All MODELS:

All Sailboat Engines

We continue to get questions regarding the correct gear position while sailing 
with the engine OFF. This advisory is issued as a reminder; Yanmar requires 
that if sailing with the engine OFF (not running) the transmission shifter must 
be in the neutral position or internal damage to the gear or sail-drive will 
result. This damage will not be covered by Yanmar’s Limited Warranty. Please 
instruct customers and dealers who deliver the sailboat to the customer, of the 
correct (Neutral) position for the marine 
  gear while sailing.

If the customer desires that the propeller 
  shaft not spin while 
sailing, either a folding propeller, shaft break, or other suitable device may 
be used. However, Yanmar accepts no responsibility for the selection, 
installation  , or 
operation of such devices. Please also refer to Marine service 
  advisory 
“MSA07-001_Yanmar Sail Drive Propeller Selection” for additional information.

If you have any questions regarding this advisory please contact a Customer 
Support representative."


The reason for failure mode, as was describe to me, is that in reverse the 
clutch   cones can 
chatter, quiver or vibrate against one another causing wear which eventually 
leads to slippage and a gear box re-build. Many already know how difficult a 
Kanzaki   can be to get 
out of reverse after sailing with it locked.

Here's a quote from the SBO forums 
 :

Quote:

discussion with Yamnar they advised they would not consider warranty (was 
passed the hours for that anyway). Upshot is new transmission. They advised 
that the cone clutch   
does "quiver" (my term) even though locked into reverse, producing wear and 
eventually slippage.

 

I don't like believing everything I read on the internet, but I kept coming 
across this advisory.

 

Hope this helps,

I’m guessing it is a 5064 or 5068 on page 30 of the catalog. The 5064 comes in 
a port & starboard configuration, but 61” seems too long to me.  Jim and I can 
measure the old tank in the morning.
