Stus-List Swivel pod for Chartplotter

+1 on the Ram Mount, i bought the midsized balls and the 9 (I think) inch arm. Its not one handed to move and it stays pretty much where you set it. The size of your plotter affects the size of the mount, I have an a95 Raymarine. Its heavy on the end of the mount, so go big. Brad Pulse C 33

Re: Stus-List Swivel pod for Chartplotter tip

Hi David, Nice swivel pod. Just had a thought. You may want to develope a habit of turning the pod so the screen has to go to port, whenever changing aim from front to back or back to front. That way, the wires won't get twisted. Chuck - Original Message - From: "David Knecht via

Stus-List for Bev Parslow and Jib Sheet Question

  Bev, a good rule of thumb for length of most jib sheets is 1 and 1/2  to 1 and 2/3rds of the boat length. Mauri Pro Sailing and Annapolis Performance Sailing both have great rig calculators to help with purchasing lines.  You can measure the diameter of your present sheet considering the line 

Re: Stus-List C 41 Wing Keel

I don't think this is model specific. You won't notice any difference once the wind picks up. The wing keel will need a little more speed to develop lift so light air pointing will suffer. 10 knots true is likely the break even point. Even then the skill of the sailor and sail condition

Re: Stus-List C 41 Wing Keel

No experience with a C 41 but I have a wing keel on my 37+. Not having experienced anything else in the 37+ model line I can't tell you how it compares but I can tell you that it can't get much better. It points great and is exciting to sail. Your best bet would probably be to look at the PHRF

Re: Stus-List GPS

A couple of years ago I bought a Dual GPS (www.dualav.com) for around $C150 and it pairs with my non-cellular iPad and Navionics. I use this as a back-up to my Garmin and it works very well. More sophisticated users might find it a bit basic but it shows me where I am on the chart real-time.

Stus-List C 41 Wing Keel

Checking to see if anyone has experience with C 41's with the wing keel (6'2" draft) . I'm interested in the overall performance and stability. I'm just trying to get a feel for what I might be giving up with the wing, and to know how tender the boat might be. Doug _/)~~~_/)

Stus-List GPS

You want to attach your iPad using either WiFi or Bluetooth to your cellphone,   not both. Mobile devices use network assisted GPS, so you phone can share its GPS information with the iPad.  I do it with my iPad 2 and my cellphone.  There have been I few posts on how network assisted GPS works,

Re: Stus-List Mast fishing

You can also push stiff rigging wire into the mast, sometimes that works better than dropping a soft line. Tape over the ends so they are smooth. A piece of 3/16-1/4" wire won't break if it gets caught up somewhere, unlike a fish tape. I left 15' of fish tape behind the ceiling of one boat because

Stus-List Mast Fishing

The best way to fish wires in and out of a long narrow cavity is to tie on a poly line with a few half hitches spread over a foot or so along a wire that is still in the mast.  Then use some electrical tape to secure the line. I always fold over the end of my tape to create a 'flag' to make it

Re: Stus-List Mast fishing

If you have access to the fishing pole (they show up on the link from Bill (below)), it should work better, especially, when you have the mast down. However, 33” might be a tad too short. Marek From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Swivel pod for Chartplotter

I guess I am much cheaper than that (;-). I am using a Ram Mount for my Garmin chartplotter. The chartplotter comes in its own "pod" with a base, so I installed a RAM Mount swivel ball and a rail base and connected the two with a double socket arm (they come in various length). The total cost was

I am looking for a way to easily rotate my Chartplotter from side to side so I can see it while sitting near either rail and steering the boat. I have a wooden platform that the B is currently mounted on that would accommodate a deck mount. Swiveling pods seem like a good way to go, but I

Re: Stus-List Mast fishing

I agree with using a fish tape. As an alternative, sometimes 1/4" poly tubing (the stuff you use to plumb the water maker on a fridge) works to fish wires and ropes. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Apr 10, 2016 7:54 AM, "Danny Haughey via CnC-List"

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging --> alternator field

Hi Dave, First a small primer on alternators. The spinning part of the alternator is called the field, charging power comes out of the stationary part. You apply a bit of power to the field, say 3 amps, and magically many times that amount comes out to charge batteries. Your questions

Re: Stus-List Automatic Charging Relay

The "switch" is a circuit breaker on the output side of the 1-ALL-2 switch. Turning of the key can cause destructive inductive kick to reverse bias the rectifying diodes in the alternator. Cheap low power alternators are more likely to experience diode destruction. You also get a bigger kick

I just went thru the same thing on La Neige. Pulling the prop was the easiest part (Max prop three blade) Detaching the shaft/engine coupling would have been easy had there not been a broken set screw on it. Dealing with the shaft seal was almost a non issue. As far as size, it was an oddball on

Re: Stus-List To StrutPro or not to StrutPro?

If the the shaft seal hasn't been replaced recently, the manufacturer recommends replacement every 5 years. That might be on the conservative side but even of you pushed it out to 10 years, do you know when it was replaced last? It definitely seems like the strut pro is the best option. There
