Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

Only skilled kayakers and competitive rowers can achieve speeds regarded as "maneuverable", in the sense of Colregs. I regard small or slow moving vessels as obstructions and treat them as such. And of course, kayaks being referred to as "speed bumps" may illicit a laugh or two. :)

Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

Interesting. I'd always learned that rowboats, canoes and the like had the right of way over sail, motor, etc, at least when meeting in open water free of obstructions. That usually seems to make sense, as a sailboat with a decent breeze can usually avoid the paddler easily. Here's a reference

Rule # 1 avoid collision Common sense rule #2 who has more maneuverability and can get out of the way easier? I'd say it's easier to steer a bit to port or starboard for a boat then for the paddleboarder to paddle like hell to get out of the way. As a paddleboarder I always appreciate when

Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

Seconded. I believe the underlying ROW principle between different categories of vessel is that the more maneuverable give way to the less maneuverable. Best Regards, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C 30-1 #7 Ken Caryl, CO - Original Message - From: "Indigo via CnC-List"

Re: Stus-List flexofold vs Martec

FWIW, I have a MaxProp geared, two blade feathering prop for 10 years now. Had the Martec eliptic and needed four boat lengths to stop. Now I simply use the shift method to dock. I found backing in easier if I leave the engine idle and shift into neutral, and coast to lineup with my slip, then

Re: Stus-List Propeller

I have the 3GMD engine in my 35-3, with tranny gear ratio of 2.61. The PO had a fixed 3-blade prop that was 15" diameter, 14 pitch. I replaced it this year with a Flex-o-Fold 2 blade geared prop that is 15" with 12 pitch. Both props push the boat to 7.5 kts in the 3200rpm range, and I get boat

Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

I would think that "manually propelled" vessels form a different class of vessels. When two vessels belonging to different classes meet, the vessel belonging to the more maneuverable class is the "give way" vessel. In general, manually propelled vessels have minimal draft, and can therefor go

Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

Saw a post on a local yacht club board this week. Seems a sailboat was approaching a group of stand up paddle boarders (SUP's). Sailor didn't know who had ROW. As he went by the SUP's, he asked them. They didn't know either. With the exception of required lights, the rules seem to be minimal

Re: Stus-List Starting Problem

Your description has me 90% certain you have a bad ground from the wiring harness to the engine. On my 2gm this was a large ring terminal attached to or above the stArter iirc. Your multimeter may fool you as you are getting some conductivity. Inspect, Clean/de oxidize that grounding point

Re: Stus-List Cabin window replacement, again

I agree with Edd. The half inch joint is fine. You will love the result. Because the 4991 tape is a compliant acrylic foam (instead of the rigid Plexus), the windows should not crack again, either. Results, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwQRSP2fYIFmRzdIM1ZfQ25jTDQ/view?usp=sharing

I just had same issue. Started at the ignition switch and worked toward engine. It was the slide on connector on the solenoid. Apparently I'd knocked it loose while working near it. Just remember, voltage does not mean the amperage will happen. Speaking of engines, here's what I'm working on

Re: Stus-List Cabin window replacement, again

By "glue joint" I mean the overlap area created by the difference between the size of the widow and the size of the hole the window is covering. This area is narrow especially at the bottom of the window, 1/2" or so. The VHB tape is 1/2" wide, leaving no room for sealant. I could cut the tape

Re: Stus-List Cabin window replacement, again

I just did mine too... When you say "width of the glue joint is narrow" do you mean the horizontal surface or the inner vertical surface..? I put the VHB tape on the horizontal surface as close to the inner horizontal edge (you can barely see it in the cabin) and a 795 bead in the space
