How about the diesel stove/oven combo with heater lid? This would be a direct replacement for the Force 10 3 burner/oven you probably have. It would fit in the same footprint. - The optional butcher block lid closes and starts a fan which blows air over the ceramic cook top. The warm discharge

Re: Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

Hi Michael, I was going to disagree with you, but I thought back to my 1977 C 27 MKIII, and remember the inside of the tank was smooth and white, rather than yellowish PTFE like my 1994 C 37/40+. So, for your application, I was dead wrong. I would suspect.a bad fitting rather than a cracked

Re: Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

The tanks on my '77 C 30 are fiberglass and built with the hull as part of the tank. The top of the forward tank is also the base of the V-berth. There are removable round access ports and a screwed down access panel on both tanks. Michael Brown Windburn C 30-1 Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017

Stus-List 37+ heat

I am considering some auxiliary heat, either a Dickinson propane fireplace or a diesel forced air unit like an Espar. I guess I am looking for the best fit for our 37+ but leaning towards a propane fireplace. Both have advantages. What do you guys think? Len Mitchell Crazy Legs 1989 37+

Stus-List Fw: Lessons learned from plastic welding water tank

In response to the prior post about fixing a leaking water tank, see my post below. One final update.  An additional source I found around for LDPE was water softener bags.  I think it might be a little thin to effectively weld with, but if you run short, it's nice to know that the bag you

Re: Stus-List Exaust elbow replacement

I was wondering if there could be a negative impact to use a Ss elbow that may not have the same internal dimension and thus affecting the flow and performance of the engine. But I may be overthinking this... Other thoughts out there or experiences to share on this matter ? Thanks

Re: Stus-List Exaust elbow replacement

We replaced ours 2 years ago – mechanic recommended the cast iron version, and not to use the stainless. Don’t remember the exact reason why but believe it had to do with the rusting of the cast iron was indicative an internal issue John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C 34 Noank, CT

Re: Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

I did repair the tanks on our '90 30-2 by drilling out the crack, flame treatment and GFlex. I repaired it last year and kept the tank full this year with no issues. Chad On Aug 28, 2017 8:21 PM, "Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List" < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > If you look back in the archives,

Re: Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

If you look back in the archives, there was discussions on water tanks repair within the last 4 weeks. If you have a leak at the fitting, possibly, you may just need to replace it. I had some surprisingly good results with a Bondic welding kit. And yes, most sinks drain directly

Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

Recently filled up the V birth water tank and discovered a slow leak. PO left it empty and now I know why. This eventually drained everything into my bilge, as the tank is now empty and the bilge is full. So that needs to be fixed. Has anyone repaired a plastic water tank before, or do you

Re: Stus-List C 44 twin adjustable backstays

That’s quite a word of caution. The other thing you don’t want to do is tack with the babystay on. It won’t bring the mast down, but it sure does cause problems. From: Fred Hazzard via CnC-List Sent: Monday, August 28, 2017 4:05 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Fred Hazzard Subject: Re:

Re: Stus-List C 44 twin adjustable backstays

Dan, in the 10 years I've sailed my 44 I have rarely found I need to use the running back stays. In those few time I needed them the wind was blowing hard and I had a lot of the back stay on to bend the mast to shape the main and straighten the forestay. At the same time we were sailing into

Those are running back stays. Matt is correct. In heavy weather you might use the, but for cruising get them out of the way. Joel On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 3:23 PM Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > My understanding is that the babystay and adjustable backstays

Re: Stus-List C 44 twin adjustable backstays

My understanding is that the babystay and adjustable backstays (which attach about 2/3 of the way up) are intended to keep the mast from pumping in heavy seas. With a bendy mast you could also use them to adjust sail shape, but my mast is about as bendy as a telephone pole. From: Dan via

Hi all, I know from this list that i could replace my exaust elbow (yanmar 2 GM 20F) with a stainless steel copy available online. Is there a reason why i should go with an original yanmar part ? and if the collective wisdon is to replace with SS. Where is the best place to order if i'm in

Rob, the absorbent pads can collect the fuel (and they don’t absorb water). I had very good results with these: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/gas-guzzler-sweep-hydrocarbon-absorbing-pad-0381326p.html. They come in at least two sizes; the large (and thick) one and smaller (and more useful)
