Verrry interesting.your refrigeration unit is in a completely different location. Windstar has a plywood separator dividing the two spaces, but it's only a foot high at its tallest. I was thinking after reading this thread to make a machine guard to cover the rotating parts,

Re: Stus-List 33-2 on mast clam cleats - are they still available?

Thanks Dennis. I found clamcleat, (which was what I thought they were called) who I think is the patent holder, and is identified as the manufacturer for Selden's equivalent. I could not find the same form factor in clamcleat's offering but maybe I missed it. The question you ask is a

Re: Stus-List 33-2 question where does the hose in the bottom of the ice box drain to?

Good thing the brackets are still there. You know, I will need to look at the boat to determine what the valves are for, I really don't know though I would assume to isolate the hot water tank. I hope you got out for a sail today - fantastic conditions a few miles out, windstar was flying.

Stus-List Bye bye pretty boat.

Lee - Where does the outbound hose go?Coiled under the sink, and pulled out when needed? Would like to plumb mine in somehow. Sent from my iPad On Jun 5, 2017, at 3:37 PM, Lee Rosenbaum wrote: >> On my '85 33-2 we have the ice box drain connected to the foot pump

Same. And I bring my main halyard back when putting the boat away. Both it and the topping lift attached to a soft shackle at the boom end. Dave. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 2, 2017, at 8:26 PM, john sandford wrote: > > Seems the reason that having a topping

Re: Stus-List C 33-2 livability improvement - settee access

So, they changed in later years I guess. As discussed my '85 has water tank under starboard settee. Opposite side from the batteries, chart table, head, but same as water heater, range, refrigeration. Not sure why really. Deck fill opposite side from pumpout? Dave Sent from my iPad >

YES. Bore the slide hole oversize vs the pin, the track is protected by the pin. Extract the pin. Dave. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 4, 2017, at 5:46 PM, Jim Watts wrote: > > I would drill the top hole way oversize (like 3/8") and pull the whole works > out through

Re: Stus-List Garmin GNX 20 now ICom 506

Agreed with Paul - my n2k/AIS ICOM m506 displays GPS data from the n2k Garmin antenna reliably. In fact an alarm goes off to warn me of no gps data if I turn off the instruments but not the gps. Similarly, the ais data provided by the M506 displays on The Raymarine i70 display. So, it

Re: Stus-List Aqua signal 25 direct LED replacement?

Thanks Derek - will be interested in your opinion - iirc there was a line of lights that uses standard twin lead electronics-type leds as a light source - might be those. Wasn't thinking about this project when I saw them (it was at Nat's in Pickering I think). Sent from my iPhone > On May

Re: Stus-List Aqua signal 25 direct LED replacement?

It's a good question josh, and changing the bulb is my second choice. One reason is that a purpose built led fixture is typically more efficient. You can orient the sources in the correct direction. This is compromised in traditional light sources (or led lamps which mimic same) where

Stus-List 33–2 secondary winches and t-track - worth considering?

The 33-2 deck has provision for secondary jib sheet winches and sheet lead blocks on a short length of coaming-mounted t-track. Windstar does not have either installed. How useful are the secondary winches and the coaming-mounted sheet leads? Thanks! Dave. Sent from my iPad

Re: Stus-List Kids entertainment

My kids are older podcasts (like 'the moth') or radio dramas, new and old. The kids rarely experience storytelling in this way, and it is a looked-forward-to experience before bed time on the boat. Kerosene lamp only of course! (I save the podcasts to my iPad which connects via
