Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

Edd.. My simple thinking is that you have to roll up at least the length of the foot of the 150. So why not measure the sail and then mark the line and wind that much onto the drum. When you put the sail back on, puling on the line should wind it up correctly I probably would add a foot

Re: Stus-List solar windex light

Re: Windex light. I bought the Edison style LED from marinebeam after asking if it would fit. I was concerned it was too tall for the dome on the Davis Windex light fixture. I emailed them and they said it should work. When it arrived it was indeed too tall. I emailed marinebeam. They sent me

Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

Make sure the line leads out of the drum 90 degrees to the forestay. If yours doesn't move the first block up or down until it does. Second, it's a lot easier to wrap the sheets around the furled sail to get the correct number of wraps. Buy extra line. Dennis C. Sent from my iPhone > On

Stus-List Salon Lighting

Francois I redid all of the overhead fluorescents in Alera with a pair of 12" Lunasea light bars in each location. I just took out the old fixture and attached the light bar to the existing wiring and used a good two sided tape to mount them. Here's the link to the lights and the cross over

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor

Well I returned the cut down anchor back and found another one at a consignment store in Newport. This was a HD 20 Danforth with the stickers still on it never been used $100. I do not have a locker we hang it from the bow pulpit. I do not mind that the stock is full size.  We keep the bottom

Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

Mine is nearly a 1:1 ratio and I usually keep a minimum of 3 or 4 wraps on the drum (~2ft). Then the add the length of the distance from the drum to the desired termination (~35ft). Then add the length of the foot. A 150% will be about 24 ft. So 65ft should be sufficient. Remember that you

Re: Stus-List Transmission in forward or reverse while sailing?

I have a 3 blade Bruntons Autoprop...I can feel it spin with the transmission in reverse but it does spin when in forward so I have sailed the last 12 years with the transmission of my Universal M4-30 in forward...no problems yet...I think my circumstance is caused by the way the autoprop blades

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor

Danforths are hampered by any growth on the bottom since it interferes with the anchor's initial set. They are also hampered by shells and rocks that can get jammed in the flukes and prevent a reset in the event of wind or tide shift. Those are real Danforths. Fake Danforths are generally pretty

Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

If able, measure the old line you cut off to get a rough idea of how much line to buy. Total up the pieces. Then raise the sail with no new line around the drum. Roll up the sail by hand again with no line attached to the drum. Now attach the new line to the drum with the sail fully furled. Add 2

Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

Josh, Fntastic! Thanks. I bought 80-feet of line and will wrap 27-28 feet or so around the drum. That should do it. You da man. All the best, Edd --- Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise NCC-1701-B C 37+ | City Island, NY www.StarshipSailing.com

Starting to gain interest in this new group for mejust brought a c 34/36r up to southeast Alaska. We do more anchoring up her on ace segments. Anybody' modify and build back in an anchor locker? Sent from my iPad James Bibb NorthWind Architects LLC 126 Seward St. Street Juneau, Alaska.

Stus-List Roller Furling Line

Listers, My roller furling line got ultra-tangled in the drum and I ended up having to drop the headsail and cut it all out. I bought some new line and am going to install tomorrow, weather permitting. So here's the question. How many feet of line should I have wrapped around the drum

Stus-List Nagging engine overheat solved

On the trip from Louisiana to Pensacola few weeks ago I was seeing 180-200F at cruise rpm. Normal is 160F. Water out back looked normal. Usually it's a loose or worn belt. If I can turn the pump pulley by hand then it's the problem. This, in fact was the case. The pulley turned and I

Stus-List Danforth Anchor

Gary, You probably already know this but the Danforth has some pretty serious limitations. I think you would be OK holding your dinghy with a 20 pounder, if it's not windy! Sand bottom with no weeds, chain and a long rode. I learned the hard way and I couldn't sleep on the hook until I bought

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor mod

Gary, FWIW, I keep a smaller danforth anchor in my inflatable air deck dinghy. I cut that bar mayself across the head of the anchor and added clear reinforced hose over the bar ends. The hose extends past the ends to prevent the bar from holing the dinghy. I believe the bar simply helps to

Len: A little surprised by the comment. What limitations are you referring to? Danforth may not be the sexiest anchor but they are versatile. Biggest obstacle to them is grass I've found. John Sent from my iPad > On Jun 11, 2016, at 1:12 PM, Mitchell's via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Starting Problem

It reduces the arcing in the switch by reducing the amperage for a small solenoid compared to the starter. Adds life to the switch. You can have larger gauge wire switched at the solenoid to the starter and modest size to the switch. Ed Prime Interest Toronto, Ontario On Jun 11, 2016 8:37 AM,
