Re: Stus-List Deal on starter from Mastry

I have to push the starter button several times before the starter turns the engine over. I thought it was the starter button. I'd better check that out before I get into trouble, and cant start the engine in an emergency. Speaking of an emergency, after finishing a race, yesterday, we dropped

Re: Stus-List paint off our hull

If the hull is gel coat, use rubbing compound, and then wax to seal the gel coat. On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 4:06 PM, G Collins via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Is your hull gelcoat or painted? If gelcoat I'd try acetone. Wear gloves! > > Graham Collins > Secret Plans > C 35-III #11

Re: Stus-List 1980 C 30 MKI - DIY Lifelines

If you race, check the regs about using Amsteel. I think the concern was about the attachments; not the Amsteel itself. Amsteel may no longer be acceptable as race rigging for lifelines. If you use wire, make sure it is not covered. Use bare wire. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC

Re: Stus-List considering 1981 C 25

Remember to get a survey. The money you spend will more than make up for any problems that a surveyor may find. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 12:12 PM, Lisle Kingery, PhD via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi, still figuring out how

Stus-List C 35 Mk III

-- I use my boat for racing and for cruising. It is a very comfortable boat for cruising, and a very competitive racer. I race it on the Columbia River, and on the ocean along the coast of Washington and down the straits of Juan de Fuca. One summer I cruised for three months in the Puget sound

Re: Stus-List Hitachi Alternator woes...

I replaced my original 35 amp alternator with a much larger capacity one. Defender had a sale on a Balmar alternator with an external regulator. With so much more drain (refrigeration, computer, MFD, etc.) it was a no brainer to make the change. My engine is a 3GMF (20 hp). Alan Bergen 35 Mk III

Re: Stus-List 3gm fuel issues

If the fuel doesn't pump as David suggested, you might have to turn the engine a little. Release the compression levers, and turn the engine a little by hand. Alan Bergen 35 Mk iiio Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sun, Aug 6, 2017 at 2:07 PM, David Knecht via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Removing wood bungs

Drill a hole in the bung till the drill bit contacts the screw that's beneath the bung. Then screw in a sheet metal screw. When the sheet metal screw contacts the screw that's under the bung, continue to screw it in, and the bung will slide out. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC

My boat has knockoff Whale Galley foot pumps. They look identical to the Whale pumps. but the mounting is different. I got them directly from TMC International, but their web site address no longer works. You can see them on ebay here:

Hold out for a new mast. Then let them total the boat, and buy a new one for less than the agreed value.of the old one. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 1:55 PM, schiller via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Corsair is out of the water

Re: Stus-List Thinking about a new boom - where to start?

I replaced my boom, a few months ago, with a Selden boom. All lines are internal, and the outhaul has an internal 3:1 purchase. This was the result of a cracked boom when we got hung up on a crab pot. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 10:11 PM,
