I JUST posted a video about this, except I use a Raspberry Pi for my Ship's data, and OpenCPN on my tablet. I've read that you CAN get navionics to read the wifi signal, but you need to find out what specific NMEA strings Navionics needs. I don't think it uses the standard ones for proprietary

Stus-List Keel Bolt Washers

Hi All, I know this has been discussed many times here but this is a quick and simple one. I'm going to be torquing my keel bolts this spring and I've noticed that the washers/spacers under some of the nuts are coroding and need to be replaced. I'd like to change them out for Stainless Steel.

Hi, My Rule 1500 is broken and i'm looking for a replacement. I know some people here have a system including the mandatory manual pump, the "main", often turbine type electric pump and a low GPH suction pump to empty the bilge. I'm not quite there yet, and would just like to get the best

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

You can route the discharge piping to a level above the discharge connection from the hull and do it well before the discharge line gets to the discharge connection from the hull. From its high point it could be self-draining outward to the discharge connection. By doing this it minimizes the

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

I guess we are all different. In my case, I have two long-haired cats that liveaboard with us. It is impossible to keep cat hair out of my bilge—this is all it takes to clog up a check valve if it hangs up there. I’m surprised that I haven’t had cat hair clog up my bilge pump as of yet. Bob

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

Dennis, I like your suggestion of the Ultra Safety systems switch and the water puppy pump; that's about $300.00 (+/-); what would the advantages (or disadvantages) be over the traditional systems...?  How would the hose be routed?  Would you still have the backflow problem? Thanks Richard

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

Question: without a check valve how do you stop the pump from continually recycling the water remaining in hose. It’s almost 20 feet from the pump and switch to the transom. Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C 44 Portland Or On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 9:16 AM Bruno Lachance via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com>

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

You can rerun the hose to acheive this, but it depends of your layout. Rule now make a pump with an intergrated switch and check valve. It seems they were against the check valve because of the possibility to get an air lock. It is certanly an added restricion, but a line blockage risk, i doubt

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

Depends on the check valve. I wouldn't trust any metal check valve due to the potential for corrosion. Corrosion could a) lock the valve open and b) ruin the sealing surface so it doesn't seal. I do like, and have on Touche', a Bosworth Sea-Lect check valve. This is a plastic flapper style

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

You would NOT have a backflow issue since impeller pumps are positive displacement. One big advantage of the impeller system is the suction hose could be routed to the very lowest point in the bilge sump. Impeller pumps are self priming down a few feet. While the float switch would shut off

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

The only concern with a position displacement vane pump is that they can burn up if run without sufficient water - if for example you left it on or the float stuck. They are also often relatively high current and low flow. The rubber impellers are wear items so planning a replacement strategy is

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolt Washers

Dan, Mine came with SS washers. You can most likely find them on McMaster-Carr or just make them out of SS sheet. If I was making them I'd just cut them square. You'll probably want no less than 3/32". There is nothing wrong with anything thicker. You’ll find cutting SS is a challenge. A
