Re: Stus-List mainsheet set-up

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Chuck,

Any chance you have some pictures?  I tried google and sailboatdata but
can't tell if your boat has a cabin top traveler or a cockpit traveler?

Just for clarity, are you having trouble trimming the traveler or the
mainsheet?

Stus-List mainsheet set-up

[Chuck Borge via CnC-List]

Hi Listers,

Anyone with a C 41 have suggestions on a mainsheet set-up?
My new-to-me boat has a "German" mainsheet set-up that runs to the runner
winches.  It's supposed to be the hot set-up but I'm not impressed.
Since I'm using a 97% r/f jib, I find tacking that alone using the runner
winches to be pretty easy, but what to do with the main?   Also the 2:1
nature of the German set-up is not really that easy to trim, even with the
winches.
I'm thinking I'd like a 4:1/8:1 more traditional set-up or a reasonable
suggestion(?).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Stus-List radiator cap replacement

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

I replaced mine with an 8 psi cap. Honestly, I am not sure if it the right one. 
But, two seasons later my Perkins  (M20) is still working fine. My high temp is 
more like 185 - 190 F.

If you find info on what the opening pressure should be, I would like to know.

The radiator cap on my Perkins diesel engine (Perkins Perma M30, installed by 
the PO around 1982) is badly rusted.  It’s easy to find a replacement that fits 
physically, but what opening pressure rating should it have? At 2000-3000 rpm, 
the temperature gauge reads about 175 F degrees.

Re: Stus-List Below deck auto pilot installation for C 40 (David)

[Gary Russell via CnC-List]

Tom,

If by victimless support, you mean the vertical piece of 1.5" plywood
attached to the rudder tube (and the hull and cockpit floor), it supports
the cockpit floor and keeps the now cut rudder tube aligned.  It is an
essential part of the hull structure at that point.

I used a Sawzall to cut the tube with the rudder post still in place.  The
tube is so much softer than the shaft, that you can "feel" the shaft as you
cut through the tube without doing an damage to the shaft.  My shaft had
the key way extended down to the location of the cut.  Some shafts don't.
