Re: Stus-List Engine mounts

With someone at the helm in open water, watch the engine carefully as the engine is shifted from forward to reverse. If it jumps, mounts are bad. On my old Plymouth I'd open the hood, put the engine in gear with one foot firmly on the brake and hit the gas with the other. If the engine lifted

Tears or cracks in the rubber wound be the final and most absolute indication. Before that you might notice the top metal bottoming out on the bottom metal along with the sounds of metal on metal vibration. The early indicators would be an inability to keep or get the engine properly aligned at

Ok, so now you folks have me wondering - how would I determine if my motor mounts are bad or getting ready to fail?  I have not noticed any untoward clunking or vibration, but I'm relatively new to the boat... Thanks! Bruce Whitmore 1994 C 37/40+ "Astralis" (847) 404-5092 (mobile)

To my knowledge when driving on OPB with wheel steering it has only been cable – was not aware rack and pinion was even an option, hence my question. Hydraulic seems the antithesis of the fun of sailing… Not an Island Packet – they look to be very comfortable boats but a little too far

Re: Stus-List C Reacher

Thanks Chuck. The sail was cut for a Hunter306 fractional rig. The purchase is definitely for cruising which would give us good broad and beam reach power in moderate conditions. The sail appears to be something akin to a Code0 but I won't exactly know until I experiment. I know the sailmaker

Re: Stus-List Intermittent starting Yanmar 3GM

I had a similar problem that was a result of a corroding ring terminal attached to the grounding stud on the engine, located on a bracket aft of the starter motor. (2gm) This is where the wiring harness grounds to the engine and thus the battery negative. When I do any work on the boat I

Re: Stus-List C clothing

Bill, Those numbers sound more like a reacher than something you could sail deep downwind. If you’re only planning to cruise with it and the price is right, by all means give it a whirl. But if you’re racing and sail to a rating, you’ll find the sail to be very flat and undersized. Chuck

Hi John, I had the same symptoms on mine, at first I just made sure my batteries were on "All" at least at the beginning of the weekend and that bought me a couple years.. Then I replaced the button switch as there's no relay and it takes the brunt of the current. That bought me another year.

Re: Stus-List Intermittent starting Yanmar 3GM

I would definitely check the voltage at the starter solenoid coil coming from the button. I found on my 37+ that the voltage was very low because C used very small gauge wire (22 Ga.) from the engine panel to the solenoid. This resulted in a significant voltage drop (5-6 volts) which precluded

Hello Chad, Yes that's it, manifold is black with 4 orange valves, two of which service the tanks. So just to confirm: 1) Parallel to the manifold nothing works, they need to be vertical (perpendicular) with either pointed end or round end determining open and closed? 2) The manifold in

I also agree that it could be corrosion with one of the start battery cables. But I also had a problem as described, and in my case, it was the starting switch/button which was failing. I replaced it with a cheap SeaDog switch which conveniently stocked locally. The SeaDog switch started

Re: Stus-List Intermittent starting Yanmar 3GM

Check the ground connection first, mounted to one of the flywheel cover bolts. Clean it up and retighten. They corrode over time. If that doesn’t fix it, I’d replace the thick battery to starter wires and connectors. 36 years is a fair life for those electrical cables and they corrode inside
