Re: Stus-List Hatches and Vent fans.

I replaced the passive mushroom over the head with a Nicro solar, keeps the boat nice and fresh. I gave up on fixing hatch problems and replaced everything with new Lewmars. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 6 April 2018 at 19:22, John Conklin via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Hatches and Vent fans.

IMO, solar fans in the hatch are preferred to any in the deck. The deck is potentially structural and at least creates an additional path for water ingress, wet core, rot... You can install a solar vent fan in the hatch pretty simply by making off a hole and cutting out with a scroll saw. Keep

Re: Stus-List Sidney boat yard

Absolutely, I would use Trinidad SR if I could get it, but I can't. The haulout contract (if I remember correctly) stipulates that you will use only legal coatings, among other things. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 6 April 2018 at 16:19, Paul Baker via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Hatches and Vent fans.

Acrylic and plexiglass are the same thing. If you are handy, you can make new lenses by using the old ones and a pattern bit on a router to make new ones. Thats's what I did. My solar fan is in the hatch in the main cabin. Works well there. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland,

Stus-List Hatches and Vent fans.

I have a 35-3 and my solar vent fan is though my forward hatch. Have any 35-3 owners put their solar vent fan through the deck, possibly into the head and do you have pictures? I’m considering moving mine since I’d like more natural light coming in the v-berth. In addition all my hatches have

Re: Stus-List Sidney boat yard

The anti slime bit. I find that if you can stop the slime then you significantly reduce the amount of other growth that occurs, hard or otherwise. I agree that there's likely very little difference in the paint other than that, but if you're expecting to get SR60 or similar, you're going to be

Re: Stus-List Sidney boat yard

Paul, Canadian paints are very similar to US paints except for the anti-slime additives. Most use copper in the formulations. What do you think is missing? Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 5 April 2018 at 21:04, Paul Baker via CnC-List wrote: > Just

Re: Stus-List Sidney boat yard

It's where the paint is applied that counts, or at least that's my understanding. Non Canada approved paint cannot be applied to a boat in Canada regardless of where the boat is from. Suggest the OP calls the boat yard to check before making the effort to get to Sidney.

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

On my C I have height restrictions under the quarter berth. I was able to go with a group 24 for the start plus 2 X 6V group 27 electric vehicle batteries for the house bank. Haze makes a 6V 200Ah AGM group 27 sized battery. So far, two years after installing, I'm happy with these. Think they

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

The golf cart batteries have more space above the plates, so the effect of healing is less critical than in most “normal” wet cell batteries. It is still there, but you have a bit more room for error. Marek From: Dreuge via CnC-List Sent: Friday, April 6, 2018 13:56 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com

5th issue - your sore back. Individual 70 pound or so GC2s are WAY easier to move around than a 4D or 8D battery that weighs as much as both of them combined or pretty close. I used to pick up 130 pound batteries and carry them around. Now.I would rather not! Along those lines, 3 group 24s fit

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

The 4th issue might not be applicable for most of us. From the Trojan FAC section: 3. How far can I tilt my batteries? For flooded batteries, 22 degrees from vertical is the maximum recommended tilt. AGM and Gel batteries can be operated vertically or horizontally. I rarely sail at over 22

Re: Stus-List Sidney boat yard

If you are wanting a yard to apply it for you then you might run into problems. Westport are pretty proud of their eco credentials so may not have any leeway on this. Strictly speaking, even if you apply it yourself it still needs to be legal in Canada but it's very easy to accidentally tear

Hi Fred, From the info I found they differ in weight by 1.5 lbs or about 2%(62 vs 60.5). This is actually smaller than the 4% difference in A*hr capacity. - Paul E. 1981 C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Apr 5, 2018, at 7:01 PM,

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

There is a 4th issue too for wet cell batteries. While AGMs and Gels have more options for orienting the batteries in your box, wet cell battery orientation matters in sailboats. One should orient the batteries artwartship (i.e. the long end of the battery turned beam to beam) as apposed to

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries GOLF CART

You have 3 issues. One is physical space. They are wet cells, so they need to fit into battery containers and those containers need to fit into the boat. The second is electrical. They take different charging voltages than the AGMs or gels they might be replacing and they need equalizing every

Yes, send it to Ray Marine and they'll fix it, flat rate of $125 or $150 I think. We did ours last summer and it came back in a few days with new internals. (And some tool marks on the housing) You start the repair process on their website and they'll issue a repair number, ship it in and you're
