Does it always happen at that speed; in other words, does a different alignment of the prop change anything? Ron Wild Cheri C 30-1 STL On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, 08:11:05 PM CDT, Graham Collins via CnC-List wrote: Hi Neil No singing on hull #11.  We originally had a 2 blade

Re: Stus-List Shortening the shaft log by cutting

That's fair. The dampener has a few advantages besides alignment which I'd like to retain. I have painstakingly aligned the engine so I'm not particularly concerned about alignment. TBH it looks like the PO may have replaced the log and left it long. I don't know what stock looks like. 4.5

Re: Stus-List Shortening the shaft log by cutting

Josh, what about loosing the dampener instead? I know you have it, but With a good alignment you shouldn't need it. I think I would prefer to keep the shaft log intact, it also keeps / brings the seal a bit forward. I'm wondering if it adds some sort of support to the shaft. Few years ago when

Re: Stus-List Shortening the shaft log by cutting

Thanks Marek, I agree with almost all of your assessment. The shaft centering issue is not that it moves around or that I have intent to install it "off center" but rather that it could be exiting the log not perfectly on center. Without some articulation of the seal it would require perfect

OK Mark III owners, our C 35-3 "signs" with speeds between about 4.5 to 5 knots.  It is a definite harmonic signing that I have never been able to isolate.  We have a 2 blade fixed prop and sail with the transmission in neutral.  I am not complaining, I love it when she goes into singing mode.

Stus-List strange noise

HI All, Thanks for the comments. There are some things I am definitely going to check next time out. I don't have a strut, and the noise is random. I had the prop overhauled in Dec. Not sure if the Max prop blades will stick. I noticed yesterday that I am going to have to haul out for new bottom

Re: Stus-List Shortening the shaft log by cutting

I would keep the shaft log as long as possible. Only cut off the bare minimum. On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 6:02 AM Josh Muckley via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I've asked a few of you personally so if this is a repeat then please > disregard. > > I'm in the process of

Re: Stus-List Shortening the shaft log by cutting

Josh, I am far from being an expert, but… - I don’t think there is any issues with having very little of the shaft “free”. In my boat I have about 1/4” (free). The issue, in my mind, is not how much is left free after the assembly, but rather, how you can assemble all pieces together. - the

Re: Stus-List Fun Work

The Seadeck installation Paul did looks amazing. Great work, Paul! I have been using similar products on my other boats, small A-Class catamarans for many years, starting in 2012. My experience is that quality products like Seadek, Hydrdoturf, and others last a long time. Some others do not.

When running and it is thumping have someone put their hand on top of the rudder post. If thumping originates from rudder they will feel it. Another question. Is it rhythmic or random. Rhythmic connotes running gear. Good luck. Sent from my Android. Please forgive typos. Thank you.
