Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

On Pegasus, I added a foot to the offset on the chart plotter, and read actual depth on the autopilot display. Mainly because I couldn't figure how to set the offset on the Raymarine ST70 display. But it actually works out great. I know the depth for anchoring and still have water unde

Stus-List depth sounder offset

Dennis: I use the same method as you, actual offset from the transducer to the bottom of the keel so the dept shown closely matches the charted depth. As with you, I don't want to do additional math. I think my draft is 5' 8".this Summer, I was in a situation where the depth instrument w

Stus-List How to attach a rigid boom vang on LF38

I'm thinking of getting a Garhauer rigid vang. Only problem - the dang mainsheet block lead is in the way. It's mounted on deck in the standard location a few inches behind the mast collar, then the main sheet runs vertically up to a boom block. If I mount the boom vang to port of the main sheet, i

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

I do the same, though I measured differently. Our moorings are fairly shallow (about 6 ft.). I measured actual water depth at the place where the transducer is (using a long stick) and compared it to the reading on the depth sounder. As others mentioned, I prefer to see the actual depth, not how

Re: Stus-List Starting to 'smile'

You probably just didn't see it the first time. I wouldn't worry too much about a hairline crack. FYI, I read somewhere that 90% of the boat should rest on the keel and 10% on the stands. 12000# boat should have only 1200# on the stands. If you have 6 stands and a bow stand that's less than 20

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - Search Light ?

It's pretty awesome. Definitely recommend it. It has a very narrow beam so if you're looking for a wider beam it's not for you. However, the narrow beam is it's best attribute. Very little reflection from lifelines, rigging, etc. My old Q-beam style light had so much reflection it blinded me.

I'm on the same page as you, Dennis. The depth sounder is a handy nav tool. If it doesn't match the numbers on the chart, then I know something's wrong. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Newport, RI On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 3:03 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Just curious what l

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

I use the same, depth sounder shows water depth to compare to charts. If I recall correctly, in my Raymarine setup I adjusted for the depth of the transducer below the waterline, and since I have clear hoses on my cockpit drains I was able to get a decent estimate of transducer's depth. Neil

Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

Just curious what listers use for a draft offset and why. I use the actual offset as measured from the transducer to the bottom of the keel so the depth shown closely matches the charted depth. I prefer to compare the depth shown on my instruments to the chart plotter rather than have to do the m

Re: Stus-List Starting to 'smile'

The seam could be thin enough that you didn't see it until the bottom paint dried out and shrinkage of the paint revealed the seam. I don't think the weight of the boat has anything to do with it. Although some on the list figure they are okay as long as no water gets to the bidge, the real iss

Re: Stus-List Starting to 'smile'

Boat is supposed to sit on the keel. The jack stands should be primarily to hold the boat upright. Your 35-3's keel is flat on the bottom and should have support along the length. For the older "shark fin" style keels, care must be taken to place the support near the forward part of the keel and

I acquired 'Spirit' this past summer, so I've just gone through my first haul-out. I examined the hull very carefully for blisters (none), and checked the keel for the C&C smile- also none. When I went to check on her this past week, I can now see a hair-line crack starting to appear where I think
