Stus-List Removing Teak oil stain

The folks my prior owner hired for re-oiling the interior teak did a good job of cleaning / bleaching the old stuff and a decent job of re-oiling (they may have used Cetol ) But they did an absolutely horrible job of keeping it on the teak and not around.. I'm taking about work that looked

Re: Stus-List Transmission/prop woes

That is exactly what happened.  However, my shaft is a tight fit, not slipping easily into coupler, this I am perplexed.   Having said this, I know prior owner and it has been at least 10 years since installed.  I think a periodic removal and inspection of set screws in order.  Bill Walker On Jun

Re: Stus-List Transmission/prop woes

The guidance I received is that the shaft needs to be a tight fit inside the coupler. The matched prop shaft and coupler set I got back from the prop company would not slide together by hand, needed light taps from a rubber mallet. The company said if there was much play and even a slight bit of

Just had my shaft slip out of the coupling as well. Zincs forward of the strut kept it from coming out of the boat. It was "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" getting the shaft back up so I could reattach it to the coupling. An hour and a half of "grunting and swearing and beer" before we were

Re: Stus-List Transmission/prop woes

I get round this by having the shaft firmly rusted into the coupling. Not ideal when it comes to removing it of course. Cheers, Paul. 27mk2 Sidney BC. Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:06:47 -0500 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Transmission/prop woes From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com CC:

Four years ago I put a new Universal M3-20B in our club launch, and new shaft as well. Drilled pretty deep holes in the shaft for the set screws, tightened them and wired them in place. After about two months the shaft slipped out, with no apparent damage to the shaft. I think what happened

Re: Stus-List How to remove teak oil stains?

Lorne, I've had the same issue. PO did not color between the lines with the Teak Oil. I tried 'Goof Off' on our molded headliner, but it did not work at all. I used acetone with some light rubbing and it came off. I don't love using acetone if I don't need to, but this is what worked for me.

Thanks all for replies.  On investigation this morning it seems the shaft pulled out of the connector to transmission.  The two "keeper" bolts were still in place and wired so as to not vibrate loose.  The key was in the bilge, mangled, under the connection of shaft and tranny.  The zinc on

Re: Stus-List Window Replacement C-2

Jim is right about using cast acrylic, not extruded. Cast is more expensive, but also stronger. I buy acrylic locally. Attach the old window to the acrylic with double sided tape. Cut off the excess with a saber saw. Don't let the blade get hot, or it will melt the acrylic. Then use a router

Re: Stus-List Window Replacement C-2

Make sure you get cast acrylic, not extruded. The guy who cut my last windows for me cheaped out and I think used extruded. Now I'm going to have to change them out again in a year or two. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 29 June 2016 at 12:10, Jerome Tauber via CnC-List

And to amplify a bit on Chuck’s answer, since I’ve been down this road before… :^) If you end up switching your engine controls to either the 816 or 870 series, depending on the age and size of your pedestal, you MAY need to replace the entire pedestal riser as well. On my 1979 Landfall 38,

Re: Stus-List Transmission/prop woes

Bill, To echo Edd’s suggestion, if your engine transmission engages by manually moving the lever on the gearbox but not using the shift control at the pedestal, I too believe the problem to be cable or engine control related. Depending on which control you have, there are several items to
