Re: Stus-List stepping mast 38 Landfall

When I rebuilt my rig I made sure that there were a couple of 1/4 half moons bored into the aft edges of the mast, to allow water to drain. The rigger thought I was crazy. I also insisted that the new mast step have holes drilled to allow water to drain to the bilge. The rigger thought I

Stus-List mast step drainage

FWIW, Our OEM mast step is made of 1/2 thick aluminum plate with 4 high sides of the same material all welded together to form a box. The mast sits forward in this box and wooden wedges fill the box to lock the position. Originally the step had only one 1/2 drain hole in the middle and it was

Stus-List Autohelm and raymarine

Well I was over to see the boat today, brought the Autohelm 4000 control box home with me. Appears like its an original so there will be no chance of communication going on between it and the new stuff. :(( no trace of anything other than Autohelm4000 and made in England so it's got to be as

Hi Bradley, Wouldn't you know it, I have one of those at my boat. Pre-Raytheon days. I'm not sure mine even works anymore. I say at my boat because I took it off during a boat work period some time ago and never got around to reinstalling. So I believe you're on the right path to use the

Re: Stus-List Autohelm and raymarine

Hi Bradley- My two bits for what it is worth- I would put money into an autopilot before many of the systems on my boat. In fact, I just bought a new one (Raymarine wheel pilot) because the old one was becoming unreliable and I want to know it will work when I need it. I sail short handed or

Re: Stus-List Raymarine EV-100 CC 38

Autopilot should be your first priority! It will make sailing your boat so much more fun. You won't be a slave to the helm and can tend to sailtrim or serving your guests. We use it to steer while hoisting sails or dropping sails. It's the first bit of gear I added to my boats. It's also

Re: Stus-List Alternator Output Question

Ed I highly recommend installing an access hatch on the fourth side. It will save your bacon some day when you need access to the alternator. My water pump impeller is on the same side and adding that hatch eliminated impeller rage. Don Newman CC 44 905 547 1750 On Mar 1, 2015, at 13:21,

Re: Stus-List Auto helm and Raymarine

You need to figure out what language each component is speaking. Most likely you will have NMEA 0183, NMEA2000 (N2K), and possibly 1 or 2 variants of Seatalk. There is a reasonable chance that all of your components have the ability to use NMEA 0183. You may have some special features limited

Hi, Brad. In a previous life, I was a certified Raymarine dealer/installer and ABYC/NMEA-certified in marine electrical and electronics, so maybe I can help out. First off, yes, it was Autohelm, then Raytheon, then Raymarine; and Raymarine went through several ownership iterations since, now

Hi, I will be stepping my mast within the next week or two. One of the folks at my marina asked if I was going to slather the bottom of the mast with Dolfinite. I have never heard of this stuff before. I looked into it and it looks reasonable. What do other apply or use when stepping

Re: Stus-List stepping mast 38 Landfall

I don't see why you would want to bed the base of the mast. I think letting any water which gets inside the mast into the bilge is best. Maybe to reduce corrosion ... Ed Prime Interest 1982 Landfall 38 On Mar 2, 2015 11:55 AM, PME via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Hi, I will be

Re: Stus-List Alternator Output Question

I've read that it's a best practice to run the charging to the biggest bank, but can't find any explanation as to why. Hi Edd, Here is my understanding. The ACR will combine a second battery while there is a voltage present on the first battery. The alternator's voltage regulator will

Re: Stus-List Alternator Output Question

Paul, I guess that’s where I’m confused. When the alternator throws out 14+ volts, the ACR combines the batteries so they all get the charge. They become, essentially, one big battery. Therefore the regulator won’t stop the charging until everything is a full capacity, right?

Re: Stus-List Alternator Output Question

The idea is that the house bank will need about 95% of the charging. The engine start battery will usually be very close to full unless you have issues with the engine. Therefore you are running the most current straight to the house bank and only taking minor charging current through the ACR.
