Re: Stus-List C 30 MK1 Shade

Yes that is the same configuration Grenadine has. I suspect the long boom was to accommodate boom-end sheeting. Grenadine’s mainsheet runs from the aft end of the boom, with the traveler at the aft end of the cockpit. I like that because, along with tiller steering, it makes for a very roomy

Re: Stus-List C 35-3 Rudder Drain Holes

Neil: I think I may have commented on this before, but just in case: when I bought my boat, we noted that the moisture meter readings for the rudder were elevated (along with much of the core). Rather than do a total re-build, my repair guy -- who knows as much about West System as the

I also have a 30-1 from '73 and would like to see how you mounted the bimini. My boom was originally a boom that could roll the main around it (the boom has a fitting near the mast the you attach a handle to and roll up the mast) Of course, with three reefing points and boom vang, we don;t use

Re: Stus-List opinions on cabin table

A lot depends on the size of the boat and its configuration besides the table. Our is fixed midships in the main cabin with folding leaves, storage in the center section. Serves as a nice place to steady yourself while underway. With leaves up is a great dining / food prep / card playing

Re: Stus-List C 35-3 Rudder Drain Holes

Here in the great white north the concern is the water freezing and splitting the rudder.  The surveyor concurred with that reasoning.  Good old fresh water has it advantages but cold weather has its own items to be concerned with.  We haul, winterize and cover but we don't have to worry about

Re: Stus-List opinions on cabin table

 Our boat came with a fixed table with folding leaves.  I took it out.  I've recently realised the purpose off the fixed table.  It makes for a sea berth while underway and will keep you from rolling of the berth.  Of course, we don't do any overnight passages currently so, we're just leaving

Stus-List opinions on cabin table

Hi all, I'm interested in opinions about having a fixed table in the middle of the cabin vs. a table that folds down and out of the way when not in use. As I obsess over boat features this is emerging as an important consideration. I'll have 2 kids on board sometimes (ages 6 and 4) and I'm

Re: Stus-List Replacing Perkins ignition switch

Do you have a tractor supply/repair store near you? Pull the switch, take it to their parts guy. He will probably have a replacement. Otherwise, it should be fairly available online. I'm not familiar with that exact switch but you're probably looking for a 4 position ignition switch. The 4

I didn’t use replacement tube because the old fluorescent fixtures were going off rather than the bulbs. The fixtures were all behind a translucent panels. So, I pulled out the old fixtures and hard wired LED strip lights. I used two in each location, that are chain wired with a jumper.

Re: Stus-List LED Interior Flourescent replacements

I haven't replaced mine because I believe the benefit is marginal. Incandescent to LED is a big power saving. Fluorescent to LED is not. I also don't use my two fluorescent fixtures that much, dinette and head. If I decide to replace, I'll buy these:

Lay the mast on saw horses and get some plastic pipe long enough to attach a hook and pull the damn stuff out. On a 35 year old boat it was flaking apart and making a mess, plus not doing much to quiet the wires in the mast. Gary 30-1 From: CnC-List

It is hard to say, but when I dropped my ignition key into the drink (don’t ask how), I replaced the ignition switch with “the cheapest” from our local chandlery. It is not that special. I think that the “special” thing is how you connect it. Mark C270 “Legato” with M20 Perkins Ottawa, ON

When we rebuilt our 34 rudder, there had been water intrusion and degradation of the foam but was a relatively easy fix. Of note is the design is solid glass around the entire perimeter. Careful tapping gave a good guide of where the interface was. The bottom had a section roughly mid way

Neil, I drilled a hole about two inches from the bottom or the rudder in the starboard side. I have threaded a machine screw into it. I pull it out at each haul out. I seal it with caulk before launching. Works great. I don’t see much water at all. Sometimes just a few rusty drips
