Stus-List Rigging information.

Hi all, Recently purchased a 1979 C 30 MK1, I have sent a payment to get the owners manual but I am unsure if it has rigging information. So I am wondering if anyone would be willing to share some images of how their Cunningham/Downhaul may be rigged... Additionally, for some reason the

Stus-List Max prop

We went from 3 blade fixed to 3 blade max prop a couple of years ago. Huge difference sailing as expected and I think it backs and fills better than with the fixed prop. I am considering pitching it slightly heavier on the next haul out this winter based on info on this fantastic forum.

Re: Stus-List Folding & Feathering Prop Recommendations

Yo "J Prop'rs" We are currently running the two blade plastic prop on our CnC 29 as the JProp is on the bench for disassembly and cleaning.  You must use the requisite grease in the JProp or it gets all gummed up and won't feather easily.  It also on occasion reverses settings and forward

Stus-List Folding and feathering prop recommendations.

Bruce, our last two boats came with a two bladed Max prop. They are adjustable and give plenty of power in reverse, stops on a dime coming into the slip and pulls slightly to port. We have no issues reaching hull speed either. The 1981 36KCB was Atomic 4 powered and the 1989 37+ is a Universal

Re: Stus-List Boom Bail for 30-2

Well I installed a stainless steel boom bail exactly where i wanted it on the boom years ago. Works perfect and never slips and is very strong and doesn’t show any wear. I wanted the main sheet attached to the boom as far aft as i could have it for least inconvenience and maximum control. On Wed,

Re: Stus-List Folding & Feathering Prop Recommendations

Gori even advertised that when folded the blades present less area to tangle. Of course if you are motoring then you will probably not survive with ANY prop. I have tangled with one line in my time and it was a trout line used for crabbing. The red floating gas can was the only indicator of

Hi Neil Persistence has Flexofold 2 blade on Yanmar 3GM30F and it works very well. Have run up to 3100RPM but normally stay at 2800 RPM since WOT is 2800 which is the 80% number. Is almost no difference in speed over 3000 RPM. Works well, decent reverse and far better than the Martec it

Bruce, I have a 16" 3 blade max-prop tied to my Yanmar 3HM35F (~35HP max output@3600rpm), C 37+. I have no experience with anything else but can say that the service, support, design and operation of this product and company are very satisfying. Mine is the original model which is extremely

Re: Stus-List Folding & Feathering Prop Recommendations

Thankfully, I have not gotten tangled in a crab pot line as of yet.  I was just thinking that if the blades are folded, there would be a greater probability of the line sliding off the prop shaft rather than getting caught around a blade like "might" happen with a J Prop.  That said, it would

I sail in an area with lots of crab pots when in season--which appears to be most of the year--and I have a Gori 2 blade folder which has worked well for me. It was purchased for racing. I have never tangled with a pot that got wrapped in or around my prop. OTOH, I don't see where a folder

Re: Stus-List Folding & Feathering Prop Recommendations

I believe I reported recently that I went from a Martec two blade to a Flex o Fold two blade. My Westerbeke diesel engine likes to run at about 2000 RPM. The performance of the props is comparable, although the Flex o Fold seems to provide more power in reverse. Overall, I am happy with the

Hi Bruce, Our boat was built with a Universal diesel but was re-powered in 2001 by a previous Quebec City owner. He wanted more horse power to fight the St. Lawrence River currents and tides so we now have a Yanmar 3JH2-TBE diesel. This is a 47 hp. Turbo with a 3 blade feathering "J Prop", prop

Thanks, Mike! I am definitely keeping this as an option, but Holland Marine claims to have the exact replacement part, which is now on the way to me. I'm planning to try that first and will go the strop direction if that doesn't pan out. Thanks all for the feedback. Regards, Jim

Stus-List Folding & Feathering Prop Recommendations

Hello all, I know this has been discussed a lot on the board in the past, but given the recent discussions of over-propping on the part of flex-o-fold, I'd like to re-ask the question. The reason is that a folding prop is definitely in my future, as we have a fixed 3 blade prop on the boat now.

Another battery thought: As I get older, my enthusiasm for lifting up 4D and 8D batteries has declined a LOT. The golf cart form factor, GC2 I think, in wet, gel, or AGM gives you two batteries around 60-70 pounds instead of one 120-140 pound battery. An 8D battery box will hold 3 group 24
