Re: Stus-List Facing an autopilot replacement

Bruce, I have Raymarine instrumentation and added their autopilot. The system works extremely well. The locked heading mode keeps the boat on course within a degree or two while barely moving the rudder. Wind vane mode gives similar performance. Auto tach is better than most helmsmen.

Re: Stus-List Fixing V-berth port hatch leaks

Re: Stus-List set screws

Bill, I can't picture why there is inadequate room to lock wire the screws. When you say perpendicular to the coupler I can't picture if that is perpendicular to the shaft or inline with the shaft. I think you're describing inline with the shaft which makes me wonder why using a cotter pin

Re: Stus-List Facing an autopilot replacement

This is not a definitive answer but simply an observation. I believe that keeping the hydraulics is probably achievable and a good choice. They are pretty simple. 2 drive wires (+/-) and 2 directional wires (+/-). From what I can tell that is normal. You will have to find out how much current

Stus-List Facing an autopilot replacement

Hello all, I think I'm going to succumb and replace our Navico PH8000 autopilot.  It is outdated to the point there are no replacement parts, the display on the wired controller is faded, and I just can't seem to get it to cooperate.  Oh well, something had to substantially exceed the budget

Stus-List Fixing V-berth port hatch leaks

Hi All, My C 34-1 hatch has some leaks. I put some new hatch tape on then had a kid soak it with a hose while I checked for leaks. It's leaking between plastic and metal, not where the tape is. Is it worthwhile to try an fix or is replacing the whole unit a better option? Photo of the said

Wow those pictures are amazing! Thanks for sharing  I am not as tall as you (6’1 or 1.87m) but I doubt that will make the v-berth more comfy… Will check it out. When my wife and I go for the visit, we’ll take our own pictures and share some. Van: RANDY

Re: Stus-List centerboard cable broken

Donald: It seems to me the tough part in any case is how you connect the old cable to the new. When you're hauled out, you can tape them together. When you're underwater? I dunno. A thin messenger line tied to the old cable and the new one? If the connector is bulky, it may get hung up

Jack, Thanks for the information. I like that as an option. The complication in all of this is the closest travel lift is a 4-5 day one way motoring trip up the Ohio to Cincinnati.My closest local option to lift would require a de-masting with a crane I hire in myself as their lift

Hi Rick, Thanks, that’s valuable info. >From what I read, it appears that the 30 E was built in Germany (the article >speaks of issues due to rising DM). No idea if that makes a difference in build quality or if that difference is better or worse. Another reason to have a thorough survey

Re: Stus-List C 40 bolts

Hi Joe, Yea but, the right thing to do is, when you realize the condition is far more difficult to address, is call the owner and keep them in the loop. If the boat is sitting in the yard and accessible, there is no reason not to go assess the condition. I mean, I'd never have given an

Re: Stus-List New potential C owner... maybe?

The Canadian Yachting article on C history on the Photo Album site http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/archive/cnchistory/c2c.htm , says that the 30E was a “europeanized” version of C 29 mk1. Any issues with the 29 mk1 would probably apply to the 30E as well. Rick Taillieu Shearwater Yacht Club

Hi Randy, Thanks for the links and info, very helpful! Love the pictures and your detailed project report. Will certainly keep that on hand. Not sure if the boat has carbon spars, I will check when we go to visit it. She sure looks great, that’s what attracted me to the 27 back then too.

Peter, I just had my keel bolts torqued by my yard. Haven't got the invoice yet. Some of them required 600 ft-lbs. For that, it took two guys even with a torque multiplier. All nuts and washers were removed and bolt threads were cleaned. Some nuts required heat and impact tool to remove. Old

Did that include pulling the mast to get at the one under the step? If not, 5 hours is about 4 hours too long for that job! Just went through it myself last year. They might want two guys to do it, so I would compromise with them and say you'll pay for two hours. Otherwise I would be shouting

Re: Stus-List centerboard cable broken

I would not try to sail with the board hanging down supported only by the pin. The trunk usually provides resistance to athwart ship forces on the board when down in its normal position. If the cable is gone, the board hangs too far down and all the sideways force is concentrated on the pin
