Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

I am concerned about connecting a gauge directly to the engine for fear that the vibration could cause a catastrophic failure of the gauge or connection and a loss of oil pressure. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 7:43 PM, Ron Ricci

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

As I recall the proper tee doesn't exist. It would be simple enough for a machinist to manufacture though. That was my plan. Once you get it to 1/8" NPT you can do anything with it. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Fri, Nov 4, 2016, 7:44 PM Ron Ricci via CnC-List

Rick, did you do the rerig work yourself, or the rigger installed? Mast up, or down? On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 6:24 AM, wrote: > -- Forwarded message -- > From: Rick Brass > To: > Cc: > Date: Thu, 3

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

A friend who has circumnavigated several times has rerigged his 39’ steel cutter with Dyneema for the shrouds. Very strong, light, straightforward to splice. Definitely DIY. And having extra material aboard to make emergency replacements for rigging is very easy. I think I recall the

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

First, I checked out Mike's link and Persistence is a sharp looking boat. I'm partial to the color as Patriot is also dark blue with a red boot stripe and gold cove stripe. Patriot also caught a line around the shaft resulting in multiple B.O.A.T. units to straighten the strut and replace the

Tom, Back from taping and masking the deck. No-one told my how much time this will take. Yeesh. What Chuck said. I did some fun what-ifs on non-steel standing rigging and pretty much came to the same conclusion. Not really appropriate for a 34-year old cruiser. I am going to be replacing all

That is a fine looking boat you have there Rob.  It must be tough to part with her.  If she weren't so salty, I would consider her as I am looking for something with a shallower draft.   I have my C 32 for sale here on Lake Erie.  Haven't gone with a broker yet as I'm trying to sell her myself

Seeing as how synthetic rope lifelines got banned due to being sawed apart by chafe, I think I would stick with stainless steel. YMMV. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List Sent: Friday, November 04, 2016 1:53 PM To:

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Tom, As a person in the rope business, the information included in the attached article is spot on, but he neglects to include the most commonly used fiber for standing rigging: PBO aka Zylon. Zylon has virtually no creep and is extremely strong and light. However, Inherent in PBO rigging

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Rick, Thanks for the info. As far as those tang (toggles?) fittings that were used on our rigs, it was explained to me that they were a cause of rig failures. The caps were designed to move in tandem with the rod but given that they were a combination of stainless steel and aluminum they

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Switch

Also you could install an oil pressure gauge so you know what the pressure really is. The alarm is like the idiot light on your car ... if it sounds there is likely a problem but if it is broken you blithely assume all is good. I once had a car where the bulb for the engine light was burned
