Re: Stus-List Stripped threads question

Thanks, Josh. With seven exit plates, each with four mounting holes, I can think of 28 reasons to not drill and tap each hole. The original exit plates had six holes each (as opposed to the current four), all of which were filled with aluminum screws (held in place with epoxy) that were

Thanks to everyone who responded to my confusion about the bilge pumps in my C 33 MKII. I think I have an idea where to go from here. Wade Oh Boy C 33 MKII Kenora Ontario On Wed, May 2, 2018, 15:01 Bradley Lumgair via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I would think you’d want to

I forgot to mention that when I had my mast rebuilt the boatyard welded all of the old vestigial holes closed before painting. Of course you're probably not even considering something to this extent. Josh On Wed, May 2, 2018, 9:20 PM Josh Muckley wrote: > You can rivet

Re: Stus-List Stripped threads question

You can rivet them. Mine are. Aluminum rivets won't corrode the mast. There really isn't a good reason not to go up to a #12 machine screw. Of course there are epoxy materials such as JB weld in liquid or in a stick. I'm not sure that they would produce a lasting repair. What about backing

Stus-List Stripped threads question

Listers: Currently doing some mast work and needed to remove and reinstall a couple stainless steel exit plates. The plates are held in place with four stainless machine bolts (10-24 or thereabouts), which screw into threaded holes in the aluminum mast. I discovered that the threads were

Re: Stus-List Engine Temp Gauge Not Working

This bring back bad memories of my Yammer's demise about 10 years ago. Unknown to me then, either or both of these (sensor and gauge) failed or were incapable of measuring temperature without coolant when the coolant was very low. Motoring along my engine died (just slowly quit running as

Re: Stus-List C 41 - General Information

I have two friends who own 41s, one deep keel (for racing) and one shallow “winged” keel. They are beautiful boats. As one lister noted, deck and thru-hull fittings installed without sealing the balsa core can cause serious issues. In my experience, deck issues are more easily repaired.

Re: Stus-List Engine Temp Gauge Not Working

I had a similar issue on my Yanmar 3JH2E, and finally realized that the gauge had been added on (though it may have been original equipment from C, it was not standard Yanmar equipment).  I found that the temperature buzzer sensor screwed directly into the engine but the gauge sensor was teed

Stus-List 33 II bilge pumps

I would think you’d want to install a check valve in the discharge line between the second pump and the tee to prevent water backing into the second pump in the event of a failure. Brad Pulse C 33 Mk II Lake Huron Anything worth doing requires sails ~(\_~

Re: Stus-List C 33 MK II Bilge pumps

My CC 35 II (1974) also has a manual (Whale) bilge pump in the cockpit, and I notice that sometimes I have to pump very hard to suck the water from the bilge up to the pump so it starts pumping. Presumably there is some leakage of water past the intake valve with just air in the system - at

Re: Stus-List C 41 - General Information

Hi Chris, The 41 (40?) is a great boat. I almost bought one but I landed on a 44 instead :) These boats are cored with balsa, so you really need to pay attention to aftermarket deck and hull fittings. Years ago people didn't think balsa would wick water but it does... big time. C were on top of

You came to the correct place. We have more than one 41 owner here AND you can meet us all at the fall rendezvous ☺ I can’t think of any well-known defect in 41s other than being old enough to have been abused by former owners. As a *family cruiser*, that is a BIG genoa to horse around. Any 41

Re: Stus-List C 33 MK II Bilge pumps

Question: would it work if the connection was _after_ (i.e. downstream of) the pump (separate suction hoses, discharge hoses T-d to a single through hull)? Marek From: Rick Brass via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, May 2, 2018 11:44 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Rick Brass Subject: Re: Stus-List C 33

Re: Stus-List C 33 MK II Bilge pumps

For certain offshore races there is a requirement for two manual bilge pumps, one of which can be operated from inside the main cabin with everything closed up. Is it possible that this could be the reason. I don’t believe the regulations say it has to have a separate overboard discharge. It

Re: Stus-List C 33 MK II Bilge pumps

I can see some almost neurotic logic to having two large manual pumps – redundancy if one fails or just having a lot of capacity in case you really need to dewater in an emergency. (I actually have a Whale Gusher in the garage that I plan to take aboard as a portable emergency pump when I go
