Re: Stus-List Rod Rigging Tension C 32

Wasn't there a booklet that came with it?  Gave the deformation vs. actual tension for a given size wire.If you don't have it, there may be one online.RonWild CheriC 30-1STL From: Jim via CnC-List To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: j...@mymts.net Sent: Wednesday,

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

Greg, I cannot speak to the structural analysis involved but I would not be at all comfortable leaving that space unfilled. Not sure the small benefit of departing from the designer's intent is worth the risk... just an opinion. And the heat thing is minimized by mixing smaller batches - less

Re: Stus-List NMEA 2k wind instrument problem

Chris,I just went through this with my B system this season.  I can give you an idea of what helped me.Do you have access to the conductors on the wire going up the mast?  If so, you can test the following:Red and Black conductors should read 12v with the wire connected into the rest of the system

Re: Stus-List NMEA 2k wind instrument problem

Double check the installation instructions closely and follow each step when it comes to setting up the control panel. When I set it up, wind was not showing as well but everything else was, so I re climbed the mast several times double checking every connection and found you just had to

Stus-List NMEA 2k wind instrument problem

I've got a NMEA 2k network aboard my C 30, including a Garmin GWS 10 wind sensor at the top of the mast. Everything was working well at the end of last season, but when I launched and stepped my mast this spring I found that the wind speed/direction was not appearing on my instruments. The other

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

Hey Russ, The sika has amazing freeze thaw properties and the reason I began looking outside of the standard epoxies or resins was due to my general lack of knowledge and also a bit concerned with the depth of material needed, and the heat generated while kicking off and curing. I was

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

Well you need to sleeve the 2 keel bolts for keel maintenance/removal anyway, so this requires a post or tube regardless, prior to the pour. Only other thing I would add (and it's a no-brainer) is to ensure that the 'floor' (large transverse rib) you cut under the mast step is adequately

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

Hi Greg, If you want to spend extra... we used Pilgrim Magmaflow epoxy grout under the frame of the turbogenerater. Excellent flow characteristics if there is an awkward cavity to reach. It might be better than traditional grouts during freeze cycles if there is water present. A little

Hi Brett, Forgive me if I am being too basic in my explanation, but I don't know your prior level of expertise.  First, there are three parts of the stuffing box.  See the picture here:  Buck Algonquin 00PB75 Packing Boxes - Complete Assembly. | | | Buck Algonquin 00PB75 Packing Boxes -

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

I'm loving your input gentleman, I agree completely. I come from a construction background so plan on using a cement type of mortar used for anchoring large industrial equipment. Once fully cured it has a load rating of 8100 lbs/sq in, doesn't shrink and is unaffected by water. I was certain

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

Greg - agreed with Russ (and Joe.) When I did mine I briefly went down the calculation rabbit hole, looking at the properties of materials etc and I realized there was no way for me to calculate the hypothetical combined load of keel bolt torque, mast/rig, and one bolt's worth of bashing a rock
