Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Doug — sorry for the delay; it’s haulout weekend. Yes, on any Raymarine autopilot systems older than the current EVO systems, you really need to have the rudder reference transducer installed and calibrated to get decent performance out of the system. You should have gotten a transducer along

Fred, I never got the transducer with my system. If you have one I would be more than happy to buy it off you.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original message--From: Frederick G Street via CnC-List Date: Sun, Oct 11, 2015 06:11To:

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

>From all the comments over the past few years I know that David's comment is true. But I have always wondered "WHY?". What changed to make the rudder position sensor essential? Over the years I've had an Autohelm tillerpilot (800 I think) on a 27 and a Raymarine 1000 tillerpilot on my 25 with

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

To Rick's question, I have no idea why the old ones worked, they may have been designed to simply follow a compass course, but I think that from the four thousand on they were designed to have feedback from the runner position sensor. I know mine was worthless until I put it in. A

Stus-List Roller Reefing Boom

So, Corsair is out for the season and I brought home the Spinnaker Pole and the Boom to clean up for the winter and it got me wondering how many still have the original roller reefing boom? I have used the roller reefing feature once with the old main (no slab reefing). We now have a North

Re: Stus-List Roller Reefing Boom

Touche' still has the original roller boom. It can't roll anymore because of the rigid boom vang. I've replaced the old screw type outhaul with a car and 4:1 purchase. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Oct 11, 2015 4:44 PM, "schiller via CnC-List" wrote: >

La Belle Aurore, 25 mk1 hull number 225, still has the roller furling boom – and I even still have the crank that came with the boat for furling. Like Touche, the roller boom is disabled by the Garhauer Vang. Bell has end boom sheeting with the traveler on the transom. And though I have done

Re: Stus-List Roller Reefing Boom

I still occasionally sail on a C 35 Mk.1 that still has the roller furling main and the screw type outhaul. It still has the pin stop traveler too. The owner has has had her since 1980 or so. He is always trying to convince us "this is the pinnacle of sailboat technology, why change anything?"

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Bill — the older ST4000 wheelpilot does not use a rudder reference transducer; but the newer ST4000+ does. It should have shipped with one. They are available as a standalone part, for about $250 plus shipping. As I mentioned before, I have a spare here somewhere; if anyone is interested,

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Typically the tiller pilots never had them; if you think about it, if you have tiller steering, you don’t have a quadrant to attach the transducer to. And the older wheelpilots just used a fluxgate compass to steer to. But the results weren’t always as good as they could be, so the ST4000+
