Re: Stus-List Running linesaft to cockpit on C 34 - locating rope clutches

Hey all -  Thanks so much for all your insight! If anyone has time and inclination I’d love to see any examples of your running rigging, especially anything where you’re running reefing lines or topping lifts from the boom back to the mast and aft to the cockpit. Charlie I like your idea of

Re: Stus-List spring cleaning

My new favorite deck cleaner is Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bleach (repeat: Foaming Bleach, not bathroom or kitchen cleaner). It's awesome at removing that green or black mildew. Not sure how it will work on yard dust. I'd try to minimize contact with paint. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source

Home Depot - Slot screw driver #2 works just fine, leatherman also works fine. Otherwise go to a local automotive store and get a replacement ingnition set to wire in. Yanmar blanks are $60ish and you can buy 10 new ignition switches for the same price. My yanmar switch went a while ago and

Hi All, I’m looking for a few good, through surveyor recommendations in the Vancouver area. I am not looking for a "doctor death”, but want a few good recommendations of folks that can explain things to a realistic owner, and not miss any 500$ issues. In my experience the ability to actually

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source

I use the key for one of my lazarette locks to start my engine. If you don't already have one the right size, and would prefer a key to a screwdriver, I'm sure you can get a generic blank key that will work for cheap at a hardware store. Sam 1984 C 35-3 SF On Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 3:40 PM,

I also did what Gary did, especially after doing surgery on the Yanmar panel when a key broke off inside on the previous Enterprise. It’s an easy install. The need for a key outdoors amuses me. If they can break into your boat to get the power on, they certainly can get to the back of the

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Key source

I may have one floating around in the boat. I gave up – have taken the ‘ignition’ switch out and replaced it with a push/pull switch at great cost savings after finding all the Yanmar keys are the same. I figure having a key outside is not important when the master switch is down below. Can’t

Hey Andrew, I'm in Seattle, work near the Fremont Bridge, and frequently bike by Lake Union on my way home. If we can find a time I'd be happy to drop by sometime - might be easier to get some ideas in person, and there's a lot to cover. Looks like you're at Affinity, just past Fremont Brewing,

Re: Stus-List Running lines aft to cockpit on C 34 - locating rope clutches

Dennis, Timely input. Can I hire you as a consultant? :-) I’ll be doing planning for a clean-sheet restructuring of the cabin top winches and lines very soon so that I can move on to painting the decks. I have pondered various layouts and am always somewhat dissatisfied. I’d actually like to

Charlie, I agree. I also have two Spinlock Cam Cleats inboard of my rope clutches for the Cunningham and outhaul, two low load lines. http://www.apsltd.com/hardware/cleats-clutches/cam-cleats-accessories/spinlock-cam-cleats-accessories.html These are really nice but one tip. If they aren't

Another alternative to consider is something like my 36 XL/kcb was rigged by the factory or the Harve de Grace yard--not sure which. 4 of the relatively low-load control lines rigged on Water Phantom (Cunningham, vang, topping lift and outhaul) can be run to cam-cleats like the Harken 150

Re: Stus-List Running lines aft to cockpit on C 34

Andrew: I have a 1981 C 34. It appears that the layout for lines led to the cockpit as I will describe was the set up from the factory when the boat was built. There are 4 winches on the aft end of the cabin top, 2 on each side of the companionway. I admit to having the original Schaeffer sheet

Re: Stus-List Running lines aft to cockpit on C 34

HI Andrew...Welcome to this list. Everything you ever wanted to know is located here. Probably about anything. My first thoughts about your boom and mast rigging are that it is very complicated. Try to keep it simple and you will sail safer regardless of crew skill. I'd take Dennis' ideas

Re: Stus-List Running lines aft to cockpit on C 34

Dennis,    Thanks for your response, all on point.  I always wondered why my halyards were reversed from every other boat I have ever owned.  The port rounding of marks explanation makes sense and is probably the correct answer since my boat was raced harder than I do in previous

Re: Stus-List Max prop angle

Double check the size. I think mine is a 16" and I thought it was at 24°. I also suggest getting a laser tach from Amazon. The Yanmar tachs are notorious for being about 200 rpm slow. Mine was. It sounds like you already know that the pitch can only be changed in 2° increments and for every 2°
