Re: Stus-List Toerail rebedding

Hi Dennis and List Folks, That's a good recommendation, I've used the Captain Tolley's on several other leaky places on the boat with success, and this would be a decent way to mitigate it for a few more years. Curious if anyone else has rebedded their toerails and what was involved? Thanks,

Me too. I use a spin halyard and haul it higher with a light downhaul I keep rigged and let it light the coachroof and deck. Chuck Resolute 1990 C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md > On May 9, 2018 at 10:43 AM "Dennis C. via CnC-List" > wrote: > > Just to

Re: Stus-List Lifeline Crimper

Here are the instructions for using the Johnson Lever crimper. http://www.csjohnson.com/PDF/instructions/53-215_HC.pdf Note that they are only designed for hand crimp fittings and are not to be used on terminations that were designed for machine swaging. Do Hayn fittings meet that criteria?

Re: Stus-List Lifeline Crimper

I used Tri Power hydraulics in Warwick for swedging. Don't know if they still do it.   On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, 10:51:02 AM MDT, Dennis C. via CnC-List wrote: Gary, I bought a used Johnson Lifeline No 15 lever crimper on eBay for under $100 a few years back. 

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Toerail rebedding

I had good luck testing the following: I did the Creeping Crack Cure and then painted a strip of FlexSeal on top of that. I estimate the leakage in the area I tried this on is about 99% reduced. Don’t skip the Crack Cure, it gets in crevices nothing else does. Joe Coquina C 35 MK I From:

Re: Stus-List Lifeline Crimper

Gary, I bought a used Johnson Lifeline No 15 lever crimper on eBay for under $100 a few years back. Has worked well for me. None out there now but one sold a couple months ago for $118. IMHO, the lever crimpers are much better than the ones you have to turn with a wrench. For one thing, the

Stus-List Lifeline Crimper

I am in the process of replacing my lifelines and am looking to buy a crimper to crimp the Hayn studs and gate rings, etc. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced crimper? I've seen crimpers from $69 to $477 and can't tell the difference. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA

Re: Stus-List Toerail rebedding

Gene, Try applying multiple beads of Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure to the toe rail/deck joint and to any fasteners you suspect before tackling rebedding the toe rail. I find that stops most leaks. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 4:39 PM, Eugene Fodor via

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] tri-color masthead light

Just to reinforce the power boaters never look up thing, when anchored in an active area, I always display an all around white light near deck level in addition to the white all around on the masthead. I use one of these draped over the boom:

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: tri-color masthead light

Nothing until you get hit and your minesweeper towing a fishing boat while dredging lights did not accurately portray what you were really doing. It does really annoy some people to see odd lights that make no sense. OTOH the local powerboaters seem to vary between no lights at all and random

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] tri-color masthead light

You can use it *under sail only* and *only by itself*. I never use mine in the Bay. I used to use it, but after about the 5th time I almost got run over and yelled at for having no lights, I discovered powerboaters do NOT look up. I do like it offshore, when the waves are spreader height the

Re: Stus-List tri-color masthead light

Thanks, I like having the strobe as a way of differentiating my boat. It's for emergency use only. I like having it in case I'm not being seen by another vessel, I can flip it on until they get a bearing on me and then turn it off. Or if I call for assistance, it can visually mark my boat

Re: Stus-List tri-color masthead light

Tri colors primary purpose is for offshore use. When coastal their height limits their usefulness. People are looking around the horizon for lights not 30 to 60 feet in the air when coastal. Never have tricolor on and deck running lights on at the same time. Nor have a tricolor on and steaming

Re: Stus-List tri-color masthead light

Chuck you are correct that you can use one or the other but not both. I prefer to use the deck lights in the bay because it is easier to judge distance. Offshore are use the masthead so the lights are visible for a greater distance and in the swells Chuck you are correct that you can use one or

Stus-List tri-color masthead light

Anyone know the regs on using Masthead Tri-Color lights. Just want to do what's right on my boat this summer on Chesapeake Bay. I believe you can use either but never both deck lights and the masthead tri-color. Also thought I read that the masthead tri-color was intended for offshore and
