Hi, An email came out from Practical Sailor yesterday with a link pointing a discussion on “The DIY Solent Stay or Inner Forestay” Here is the link:

Stus-List rebedding hatch

All, I'll be replacing the front hatch with a Lewmar hatch. Which sealant should I use? Sikaflex, Lifecaulk, something else? I need to overdrill, epoxy and redrill the new screw holes, correct? Joel 35/3 Annapolis -- Joel 301 541 8551 ___ Email

Re: Stus-List Deisel Fuel Additives? Mixing?

OK upon reading the several responses; if Stanadyne is the manufacturers recommendation, and others like Seafoam or Biobor; my question is; are these products mutually exclusive? Or can they be mixed together? Should one red over the other? Thanks... Richard 1985 C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile

Re: Stus-List rebedding hatch

I did ours, and butyl tape worked great. Had to over drill and fill the old holes yes, also found cracks where the liner and deck met, which were a source of leaks, so fixed them with G2 Flex (if I remember correctly) which has a bit of give in it. The new Lewmar’s actually matched the openings

Re: Stus-List rebedding hatch

There is a split opinion on using silicon on deck hardware. I believe that butyl tape is best. But not all butyl tape was created equal. If you want to go that way, I suggest using Compass Marine (I think $25 for 2 rolls that would let you bed the entire deck to hull joint). Marek Ottawa, ON

I don't know what fouling properties you have in your area, but a friend left his J-24 rudder in the water for about five weeks and it took a scraper and stiff brush to get the crud off it. I recommend some kind of anti-fouling paint. Vivid? Gary - Original Message - From: "Eric

For a different opinion; 3M 4200... I used Lifecaulk when replacing Mojito's hatches about four years ago and it worked fine, but have been using 4200 for all deck hardware since on advice from a couple of yards. Tim C 35-3 Mojito Branford, CT On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 8:14 AM, Joel Aronson via

I did talk to a lady at Gill, she said it was past it’s warranty, but that if I sent it in they *might* spray it with some repellant. I did that myself. I think I will try one Gage and one Musto, Thanks to all for the suggestions, Bill Coleman C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Deisel Fuel Additives? Mixing?

Richard, That's exactly the reason I stick to using one product designed and highly rated as a lubricity additive. I then rely on turning over the fuel within 6 months to avoid growth. IMO Engines are designed to burn diesel not a chemical cocktail. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+

Re: Stus-List rebedding hatch

When I re-bedded mine, (twice) I used 5200. Right now a pack of angry wolves want to jump all over me for saying this, (BUT DON’T!) because it works for me. The reason I used 5200 is the rails get stepped on sideways quite often, and I want it to be a structural part of the cabintop, not just

Joel, As many others, I used butyl tape from Compass Marine for the hatches on my 34+. I did the re-bed job two years ago and there have been no leaks. Monty Scandia On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 8:14 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > All, > > I'll be replacing the front

Re: Stus-List rebedding hatch

Butyl tape is a good sealant but not a good gasket. For any component taking a tensile (or compressive) load to the deck, if butyl tape is used, it will ooze out of the joint under compressive loads and allow a gap to be created under tensile loads--this is what makes it a poor gasket. A good

Re: Stus-List rebedding hatch

Joel, I’ve used butyl tape for a deck hatch, baby stay track and pedestal guard deck mount brackets. It did the job and remains pliable forever. The hardest part of rebidding was to remove the old sealant which cracks with age. My understanding is some 3M products adhere to the gelcoat

Put Calypso in the same group of butyl tape after the over drill and epoxy fill process. For our foredeck hatch which is 33” x 33” we are upgrading to through bolts as the deck sees more twist and flex around that larger deck opening. We have reconditioned all three hatches, two are original
