Great tip. Maybe I can revive the Sail-Rite tape in the fridge? I'll try that and report back. Chuck > On 07/26/2022 2:29 PM Riley Anderson via CnC-List > wrote: > > > Defender has is for <$30. > Keep it in the fridge for easy use without the mess. > > On Tue, Jul 26,

I'm sure there are some great Navtec shops but none near me and the local hydraulic repair shop repaired mine fifteen years ago and it worked fine. Fifteen years ago, they replaced a leaking top seal that was damaged by UVs. This O-ring has a hat shaped cross section and is a little tricky

This is what I did. Sailrite had an excellent video Sunbrella fabric and I think it is vinyl coated something https://photos.app.goo.gl/JWJM6MvJ3J8XRpK37 On Tue, Jul 26, 2022, 8:22 PM Wade Glew via CnC-List wrote: > Has anyone figured out how to mount a flexible solar panel on the bimini >

My canvas maker has sewn sunbrella tabs with fuzzy Velcro underneath on the bimini that run the length and width of the solar panel. We were able to sew lengths of the toothed Velcro directly to the perimeter of the panels. The tabs go over the outer edges of the panels, securing them in

I am a big fan of rare earth magnets as well. I use them to tack my flexible solar panel to the companionway slider. I have one set for hatch open and one set for hatch closed glued to the plexiglass and the back of the panel. Much nicer than velcro, although I have had some corrosion

I use those long, styrofoam floats you see at pool and beach. Because they are hollow. You can run a line through them. I have a split backstay which helps Pete W Siren Song C Irvington va Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 26, 2022, at 11:22 PM, Wade Glew via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > Has

Stus-List Re: Lithium Batteries

These are confusing, they have a 24 V that looks similar in size to the lifeline 8D, but the 8D is 255 Ah, and the SOK 24V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery is only 100 Ah - are they supposed to be equal, even with that disparity?

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Lithium Batteries

A 100 AH 24 volt battery and a 200 AH 12 volt battery hold the same amount of power. Assuming they are using 100 AH cells, the 12 volt will have 2 sets of 4 in series in the case that are then in parallel and the 24 volt version will have all 8 in series. You could literally open the case and

I like this idea Kevin. When you poke holes in the Sunbrella for the screws to secure the magnets, how did you keep those holes from fraying? Wade Oh boy 33 mk II On Wed, Jul 27, 2022, 07:32 Kevin Wright via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I have 4 panels mounted on our bimini using

Hi C list - has anyone moved their outhaul cleat onto the boom to free up the space below the gooseneck for instruments? My outhaul goes from the boom down to the deck and through organizers to a clutch. I’ve installed a Velocitek on the mast (see picture) and the outhaul line goes in front of it

Hey Wade, No holes, magnets attach to the panel and they stick to a metal washer on the underneath of the Bimini. No holes, no leaks so far they have worked perfectly. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 27, 2022, at 2:47 PM, Wade Glew via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > I like this idea Kevin. When you

Maybe look at running it inside the Velocitek mast bracket close to the mast? Attach a block to the mast above the Velocitek to turn the sheet downward. https://www.harken.com/en/shop/mastbase-blocks/44-mm-aluminum-mastbase-block/ Attach a Garhauer half moon block to the port side of the mast
