Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

Sean, The 35-3 does tend to be a tender boat, at least until you heel it to 15 degrees. Once the initial heel is over, the boat stiffens up, but I’m always the first one to reef when I’m racing. I have the deep keel (6’ 5” draft). I can see definite advantages to the c/b version. I

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

We just finished our second season with a 33-2 centerboard. The board is relatively easy to deploy and recover with the winch, without the winch I can't budge it. We generally only deploy it to wind when we want to point a few degrees higher. I confess I haven't inspected the portion of the

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

Sean I sailed an O'Day with the shoal draft center board for many years and loved the boat as it removes a lot of anxiety and stress to pull up the board when in shallow water or uncertain areas close to shore or when anchoring. Many times have nosed up to the rocks and tied on shore with an

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

You'll love the shallow draft in Florida. It opens the possibility of great cruising that would be blocked to you with a 6-foot draft. It's increasingly common for centerboard owners to replace the ss cable and Nicropress fitting with Amsteel Blue or a similar high-tech line of the same

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

I’ll write up my experience this summer with replacing a broken cable on my boat while in the water with no option to haul out. I’ll try to do that tonight with pictures of my solution. Donald > On Jan 16, 2018, at 1:37 PM, Sean Richardson via CnC-List > wrote: >

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

The C 35MKIII model had an issue with the attachment of the keel. Not all, but some. Very serious, check it out. Virus-free. www.avg.com

Re: Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

Sean If I may chime in here although I have a 37. In the last 12 years I have probably put the board down 3 times. My board is currently out on the boat. Has been out since 2015. This is the year to reinstall? Any way I thinking of reinstalling and pinning it up and calling it a shoal

Stus-List Tell me about the 35 MKIII-CB

Calling on the collective C brain trust! I’m giving serious consideration to a 35 MKIII CB and would appreciate any advice on what to look out for with the MKIII in general as well specifics of the center board version if anyone has any. The boat is single owner freshwater and by all

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

New Edson pedestal guard feet come with a set of flexible rubber gaskets for each foot. Two for each foot. One has a center hole which is used when you run wiring through the guard and the other is solid. I suspect a call to Edson would likely yield a free gasket or two if you asked

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

The primary downside to butyl in.my mind is that anything petroleum acts as a solvent.  Spill some diesel and... That said it us the easiest to work with (IMHO). Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

I would think that the fact that the pedestal guard moves quite a lot would be a good reason for using butyl (as Mike said). But I am not an expert. And the fact that it worked for three years on my boat is not any kind of proof. The only other experience with sealing a anything is with redoing

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

My thinking is 1) seal the cables in the hole through the deck and let the guard move as it wants 2) If you ever need to work with the cables, I'd rather remove LifeSeal than butyl LifeSeal or butyl will do the job. Dennis C. On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 8:38 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

Marek My thinking is that there is likely some movement of the binnacle guard, and that LifeSeal will form a stronger bond than butyl. Can't say I have any evidence to back it up - sort of like 'my anchor is better than your anchor'.

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

The pedestal guard tends to move a lot where it contacts floor since many use it as a handhold and put torque on it. I would think Butyl due to this constant flexing would be an excellent idea Mike Persistence From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ron Ricci via

Re: Stus-List Stopping leaks through pedestal guard feet?

Bruce, I had a similar problem with my pedestal guard and used butyl rubber. The pedestal guard with feet were moved up after loosening the set screws that hold it to the pedestal structure. This allowed butyl rubber to be placed around the threaded part of the feet. The pedestal guard
