Re: Stus-List freeze proofing

I usually just pull the thermostat in the Fall as part of winterizing - means the antifreeze circulates right away. Raw water cooled in freshwater, so its a good time to pull the leaves and pine needles out of it anyway...I keep thinking i'll install a filter Nate Sarah Jean 1980 30-1 on the hard

+1 on that. I have installed a bypass a couple of years ago. Works perfectly. Marek Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network. Original message From: Mitchell's via CnC-List Date: 12/14/16 11:34 (GMT-05:00) To: CNC List

Thanks Rick - good to hear some AF will get in even if thermostat isn't open. My mechanic is the one who recommended the technique I've used. He told me to pour the AF in until I smelled it out of the exhaust after warming up the engine. I'm 100% positive the engine is a Y2QM20H although not

The pink RV style antifreeze does freeze solid though it is suppose to not expand enough to break copper pipes at least down to the rated temperature. It may break plastic before the rated temperature. Michael Brown Windburn C 30-1 From: RANDY Thanks Rick,

Re: Stus-List Fastening Jib Sheets

He is another variation - I have a fixed babystay. My bowlines were always getting hung up. I made a 3 foot strop from 1/4 inch Dyneema, tied a couple loops in the ends, luggage tagged one end to the sail and used a soft shackle on the other. Still had bowlines in the sheets, but they no longer

Something not mentioned yet: the RV community uses a water heater bypass kit so you don't fill up your water heater with plumbing antifreeze. You simply drain it. Works great! Len Mitchell Crazy Legs C 37+ Sent from my mobile device. ___ This

Stus-List Fastening Jib Sheets

Soft shackles are a great idea and like Chuck says, a good winter diversion project. What length shackle are you guys using? My instinct would be 8 inches from loop to knot but shorter is better, would 6 inches work? I will use 3/8 inch. Len Mitchell Crazy Legs C 37+ Sent from my mobile

Re: Stus-List freeze proofing

When my A4 was RWC, I put a hose on the exhaust and ran it into the same bucket the intake hose was in. I had about 3 gallons of antifreeze going around and around until it got nice and hot. Now I am FWC it is easier. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf

Re: Stus-List freeze proofing

Thanks Rick, that's a relief to hear. I've been worried that I didn't let my A4 warm up enough to open the thermostat before sucking anti-freeze through it. I did run about five gallons of fresh water through it before two gallons of pink anti-freeze, and I did confirm pink anti-freeze was

Re: Stus-List freeze proofing

There is a bypass port in the thermostat housing that allows a limited amount of water flow through the engine block and cylinder head prior to the thermostat opening. This is to prevent getting localized hot spots while the engine is warming up. So some of your antifreeze gets into the block

Thanks Russ. Sounds like I'm over thinking it and things will be fine. I'm pretty sure the Baileys won't freeze and will make a nice special coffee when next I'm at the boat :) On Dec 13, 2016, at 8:14 PM, Russ & Melody wrote: Hi Jeremy, I don't do any specific winterizing

Re: Stus-List Fastening Jib Sheets

The alpine butterfly or spliced eyes are the way to attach with a soft shackle. The bulk of the knot and the lead angle of the tails on a bowline cause it to hang but the eye splices or butterfly knot correct those problems. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Dec 14, 2016 7:00

Re: Stus-List Fastening Jib Sheets

John, Soft shackles are a piece of high modulus line with a bury splice at one end and a crown knot on the other. The shackle is closed by slipping the eye over the knot on the opposite end and pulling the splice closed by putting tension on the shackle. A soft shackle must be run through
