Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II

Thanks folks for all the advice on my marine head. I purchased the Wilcox Crittenden Headmate kit from wet marine so wish me luck. Plan to rebuild the pump this week-end. Next thing I'd like to update is to put in is to replace the traveller stops with some actual rigging. Anyone have any

Stus-List Water pooling inside aft toe rail C 29 mk II

Anyone else who owns a C 29 mark II have problems where water pools on the aft part of the gunwales just inside the toe rail? I noticed the water doesn't run out and I'm curious if it's unique to my boat or others have had the same problem. No intrusion has occurred as far as I can tell. Also

Stus-List C 29 Mk II Bulkhead Repair

Stus-List Horizon Instrument Covers and Bow Anchor Roller for 29 mk II

Stus-List Through hole location for bilge outputs

Hi Folks, I just purchased a C 29 Mark II, Hawk, and I'm looking for advise on upgrading the bilge pump situation. There is no auto pump in the boat which scares the hell out of me, so that's the first improvement in order. I'm following Don Casey's advise on putting in a small automatic bilge

Stus-List C 29 mark II Rudder replacement/repair

Hi Ron, I have not seen any signs of rust, but I'm in Lake Superior (and always have been AFAIK), so that may be why there's no/little rust yet. I also have no noticable leaks and the bulges are not huge, but definitely noticeable when on the hard. There are some small cracks in the lead around

Stus-List Keel bulge around near keel bolt

Hi Jeremy, I haven't had any problems when there's no wind (knock on wood), but crosswinds definitely make it a tough go. On my last sail of the season this year, I came into my side of a double slip single handed with a strong crosswind blowing me off. Just missed my window for a safe step off

Stus-List Bow roller options

I have a C 29 mark 2 and I'm looking for thoughts on bow roller options. I saw some of the custom designs on the website, but I'm wondering if there are any off the shelf rollers that will work with the C cast metal bowsprit/nose. I measured the channel on it and it's 1-13/16 inches and most OD

I have a crack at my hull/keel joint and am debating filling it with 4200. It is no significant and as I understand it this is pretty normal for boats with an external keel. My concern is that since my boats up north in Wisconsin and spends a good amount of time frozen, I'm wondering if filling it

Hi Kevin, Dittos on the lag screws. Also, be sure to do a dry fit including making sure that you can get all the hoses attached. I believe I used 5200 (or 4200) on the holes and also on the lag screws. My head had a wood backer underneath the fiberglass platform. Gene "Hawk" C 29-2 '84 > On

Stus-List Keel Bolt Overtightening?

Anyone have an idea of signs to look for to make sure I'm not overtightening my keel bolts on my C 29-2? I tightened them last weekend using a torque wrench and went to about 205 ft lbs for the 1 in bold and about 70 ft lbs for the the 1/2 inch; both of which are below the values listed on the

I'm planning on checking the torque on my keel bolts this week-end. My boat is on the hard. I see the torque chart values on the C website, but it doesn't indicate whether or not to lubricate the bolts and what to use if you do lubricate. It's my understanding from a little research that the

Hi Dennis and List Folks, That's a good recommendation, I've used the Captain Tolley's on several other leaky places on the boat with success, and this would be a decent way to mitigate it for a few more years. Curious if anyone else has rebedded their toerails and what was involved? Thanks,

Well, I wish I had known that 9 months ago. I went through considerable gymnastics to get mine even close to the C spec pages and now I'm concerned I've overtightened them. I did stop a bit shy of the values, but I noticed that the washers deformed considerably when I tightened them. I did sail my

Stus-List The bulge is back in town

So my bilateral keelbolt bulge is back from water intrusion down the keel bolt on my 29-2. Two years ago I drilled (hoping to release said water, but found nothing), hammered, epoxied and painted it flat again. Planning to do the same thing again. My guess is that the trapped water simply freezes

Re: Stus-List The bulge is back in town

That's a great suggestion. I did drill it in the fall the first time I did the repair (drilled in the fall, repaired in the spring). The trick is trying to find the void. I may need to drill a few holes. :-( Gene On Thu, Apr 18, 2019 at 11:33 AM Ken Heaton wrote: > " Two years ago I drilled

Hi Alan, I think my surveyor missed it on the initial report and we discussed it as I recall. I recall seeing it when I first purchased the boat. It's a pretty common with northern C's when I spoke to Eric Thomas the marina owner at Barker's Island. He had suggested the drilling/hammering/etc

Stus-List Yanmar 2GMF losing power under load/RPMs drop

My 2GMF 13HP on my 29 mk 2 is dropping RPMs at max throttle under load. It also appears to drift a bit while operating at a fixed throttle. Tied at the dock forward seems to have more difficulty that reverse. I should be able to get up to 3200-3400 RPM (and have been able to in recent times with

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 2GMF losing power under load/RPMs drop

Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't help, in forward gear I'm not even consistently hitting 2800 (more like 25-26). I've been able to get up to 3600 so something is definitely wrong and has changed for the worse. Also, prop and shaft look fine. I dove the boat while we were out and it all checks out.

Re: Stus-List C 29s with a Dodger

I'm 48, and bought Hawk when I was 44. I didn't start sailing until I was in my early 30s when my wife proposed that we sell everything and sail around the world. I said we better learn to sail first. :D We haven't sold everything yet, but definitely now have a lifelong passion for sailing. Gene
