Re: Stus-List Chainplate inspection/possibly re-bedding

Hi Gary, Thanks very much. Do you know what the bulkheads the chainplates attach to are made from? Is it solid fiberglass or marine plywood covered in fiberglass? On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 10:31 AM, Gary Nylander via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I had some leaking on my 1980

I had some leaking on my 1980 version (#593) but it was from cracks in the aluminum cover at deck level. By the way, all of our early 30's are MK1's, it wasn't until the mid to late '80's that they came out with the II, which is quite different. I pulled the chainplates out - a rather simple

Re: Stus-List Garmin 276C BlueChart upgrade? Replace?

The 276c remains one of the most useful units Garmin ever produced. I still use mine, but mostly on the screen showing estimated arrivals, SOG etc. In other words, I use it as a trip computer. One thing about these units is that at some point, the internal button battery wears out and the unit

Steve – We’re on Lake Superior and have a little bit bigger space to heat with our 37. I went with a Webasto 2000 last year. There is only a single outlet in the space with the return air also ducted to the space – IE we don’t have fresh air makeup. If I could figure out a good way to

Sam, My Martec doesn’t like to turn at slow speeds. I can actually feel the blades flopping around if I’m near idle speed. It’s not a big issue, but the prop does have some favorite rpm ranges. Mine is now about 12 years old and has never been rebuilt. I only average about 50 hours a

I had a Martec when I purchased the boat, and soon replaced it with a two blade 16" Maxprop. If I were to do it again, I would go with a three blade Maxprop. Less vibration. Doug Allardyce C 35-III "BULLET" Detroit _/)~~~_/) -Original Message- From: CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Hi Stevan, In part because of the aft cabin layout and a forward cabin that can be closed off we have 4 outlets piped from our Espar heater. One is in the aft cabin, one in the shower in the heads, one in the main cabin and one in the forward cabin. If all the outlets are wide open the aft

How much fuel does the Espar burn an hour? I use a propane tent heater the warms the cabin for 6 hrs on a small canister, but it's not dry heat. It takes the chill off, but doesn't dry the inside on a foggy Maine evening. Andy C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton PO Box 632 Newport, RI USA 02840

Steve, I have an espar installed by po, no problems in five years. But, does have significant current draw at start up. I need to start engine to fire up unless on shore power. After it gets going no problem. Outlet in main cabin, v berth and head. Bill Walker Pentwater Mi CnC 36

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Thanks for the helpful replies, all. Russ, I really love the idea of the newport heaters, to be honest, I like the idea of solid fuel the most. A proper wood fire is one of my favourite things. But the only units worth getting are expensive wood stove types, which are super nice, but I can't

Re: Stus-List Garmin 276C BlueChart upgrade? Replace?

276C? Heck, I still use my Garmin 128. Buddy even gave me a spare 128 couple months ago. Just like the way it handles routes and waypoint arrival times. It often runs the boat. I have a Standard Horizon CP190i at the helm for looking at AIS targets, depths, etc. Dennis C. On Feb 5, 2016 9:11

Re: Stus-List Garmin 276C BlueChart upgrade? Replace?

Touching on what Bill just said… I'm generally a fan of fixing things on the boat rather than replacing them, but my exception is electronics. The technology advances and the prices come down so fast that it's normally smarter to just replace. On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 11:10 AM, Bill Bina - gmail

Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Hi All, I'm starting to look at the Espar and Webasto units. Is anyone running one on a 32? There's a good price jump from the Espar D2 to the D4. The literature indicates the D2 is good to 26 feet of boat, so it sounds like I need the D4 :( My use is Georgian Bay, just want to extend the

I'm with Tim. I had my Martek rebuilt last spring and was really disappointed because even after the rebuild it wouldn't always open evenly. I'm replacing it with a FlexFold. By the way reverse was OK you just need to get use to it. Dave C 35 MK 3 Saltaire Bristol, RI - Original

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Our Espar D4 will bring the entire boat interior up to a comfortable temperature when the boat is out of the water on its cradle and the temperature outside is below freezing. This is a 39' 6" C 37 XL with a fairly roomy aft cabin. I expect you can get away with a D2 on a 32. Ken Heaton S/V

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Thanks Ken, after doing some more reading it sounds like their 26 foot recommendation for the D2 is for a power boat, which of course is more voluminous than my old C :) >From searching this list it sounds like a single outlet into the cabin works best. Curious if any other 32 owners have

Stus-List Garmin 276C BlueChart upgrade? Replace?

Joel, The Hylas 44 is a great sailboat, I did not own one - a friend did. I had purchased a new Hylas 47 in 1989 and sailed her to St Thomas from Ft Lauderdale to join the CYC fleet which was all Hylases. I met and became friends with another Tom and he had a new Hylas 44. We did some

Joel; I have to agree with James. Just over a year ago they were dredging Oregon Inlet when the it started silting up behind the dredge after a northeaster. The dredge had to dredge itself back to the Sound. If I recall, the inlet was closed for about 6 weeks. That said, Beaufort to

Hi Steve, I should have listed install location in the "Cons:" list of the Newport heater. It can be tricky. The link I sent is for Newport diesel bulkhead unit. The D2 has a huge advantage on heat output on low settings, not to be overlooked. The Admiral & I are a big fan of radiant

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

Hi Russ, I figure with the newport, the tank is inside the cabin (somewhere behind the bulkhead I would imagine, hanging locker on my boat likely). With the espar/webasto, it's in the engine compartment. Also with the newport, this is pretty much how i have to mount it:

Joel, We looked at Hylas (46's and 49's) before pulling the trigger on the Tayana 48. Headroom was an issue for the admiral (she is 6'2") and the feel down below was a little cramped due to the wide side decks. I bet she'll sail well! Tim > On Feb 5, 2016, at 4:31 PM, Joel Aronson via
