Re: Stus-List Chartplotter mounting

I did the same as Brad. The King Starboard was much deeper than I needed so I cut it and re-routered the edges. Functional and cost effective. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Tue, Nov 20, 2018, 7:47 PM Brad Crawford via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Mike,

Re: Stus-List Chartplotter mounting

Mike, If you get a pod, make sure your pedestal guard is tall enough to hold it and keep the chartplotter far enough from your compass so as not to affect its accuracy (your Raymarine manual will tell you how far away it needs to be.) Additionally, the downside to a pod is that you can only

Stus-List Chartplotter mounting

Hi all, I purchased a 7" Raymarine chartplotter for my 33 mkii. I am looking for mounting suggestions. Should I get a "pod" and, if so, from whom? I don't really want a large, disproportionate one. Or should I just make my own out of plastic? Thanks, Mike Atacama C 33 mkii On Fri, Oct 19,

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice - Shank angle comparison at scope of 5:1, 6:1, 7:1 etc.

Another thing to consider - the angle of the shank at various scope ratios.  You might want to look at the following site:  http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/anchor_scope=1, and be sure to look at page 2 as well.  Once you get beyond 6:1 the return on longer line or chain drops off pretty

Danny, Also beware of the tides. I have a +10' tide to consider when I am anchoring in 15' MLW. I usually have less rode than I would like because of space, inside Hadley Harbor comes to mind. I carry 100' chain spliced to 150' rope. Mike s/v Shannon Rose C 39 Marblehead, MA > > Message: 2 >

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Excellent question. When I installed a windlass and 200 feet of chain on a client's boat, I had the store load the barrel of chain into my Suburban with a forklift. Fortunately for me the boat was bow in on a bulkhead. We simply used the new windlass to fed it from the back of the Suburban into

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Curious, How does someone get 300# of chain from the store to the boat? At 1.10#/ft that will weigh 302#. Split it up into 6) 5gal buckets, the portions would be more manageble at 50# each and that would fit in a dolly/cart and could be safely handled by one person, as in lifted in and

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

I will add a little bit to this discussion on chain anchor rode. After having an all chain rode now for 3 years as a cruiser (coastal and Bahamas), chain provides an unmatched level of security. I have 225 feet of (5/16”) chain in my bow locker and it’s true that it can affect the boat’s

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny, I needed chain for one of my clients a few years ago. I asked the local crab fishermen where they got chain. They pointed me to a local Vietnamese-owned marine supply store where I bought chain at a decent discount to the regular marine supply stores. Ask the local fishermen! Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Joel, Anchoring is pretty new to us but the goal is to stay in 15 feet or less.  So, you point is well taken. Fred, I was considering the 90 feet of chain option.  Isn't the rule of thumb 7:1 including the free board?  I mean, still, 90 feet of chain laid out on the bottom should be plenty

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny, Even with a 40’ boat, placing that much chain in a bow locker will drastically change the balance of the boat and boat handling will be compromised. We had friends with a Tayana 64 that sailed beautifully upwind and downwind until they put 250’ of chain in the bow. Downwind the boat

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny — unless you’re anchoring deep or in tropical waters (read: coral) all the time, I would think 90 feet of chain (over two boat lengths) would work for your type of sailing. This would easily give you a 5:1 scope in fifteen feet of water without going onto the rope rode. And the size and

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny, How deep are your typical anchorages? If you are anchoring in 15 feet of water you will have 200 feet of chain left in the locker. Don't forget about an anchor hook and snubber. Joel

Hi All, I've got an old simpson lawrence sprint 1500 windlass on Rum Runner with an RC172 gypsy.  This gypsy is for 5/16” G43 HT ISO chain.  Currently I can't identify the existing chain but it certainly is the wrong size for the gypsy and the measurements don't match G4 or BBB chain.  I have
