[C320-list] Battery Issues

Mon Jul 31 13:45:38 PDT 2006

I just had a similar issue with my batteries.  They took the charge and
would drain by the end of the week.  I would recharge them and then go out
for a sail.  No problem until this weekend when I almost couldn't start my
auxiliary.  I am replacing both of my batteries this week.

Hi,

They cut the drawer slides way too short there.  I've been thinking of
replacing the sink drain on that side with the low profile one from Sandvik
and rebuilding the drawer to be full depth.  Short of doing that, I have cut
a set of drawer slides to allow the drawer to open fully.

As it stands, we keep it full of plastic clothes pins and Rail Pins for
hanging our laundry out whenever we sail into a high-rent harbor.  That way
we only have to look for the laundry barge to find our boat in the mooring
field.

Dave:

What do you mean "...remove three drawers..."?  There are only two drawers
as far as I'm concerned.  That thing at the top you can't even keep a cork
screw in.  Has anyone changed the drawer slides there to full suspension so
the stupid thing opens more than an inch or so?

Hi Guys:

Over the past weekend, the head pump started squealing/screeching.  
It's not the pump rod, but seems to be coming from inside the pump as 
if it were the pump mechanism (bellows?) itself.  I can't  believe a 
wastewater pump would need lubrication.  This boat is a lightly used 
2002 model year, so I don't think the head pump should need servicing 
either.  Any thoughts?

Well, there's old seawater still in your head intake line (from when you DID
use seawater); just using the sink faucet into the head does not get fresh
water into that seawater intake line---that's still the smell source.
However, when you add the simple connection from sink drain to head intake
line, freshwater flushes out that old seawater and keeps freshwater running
through all lines; if you use seawater occasionally  (e.g., run short of
freshwater, etc.) the next time you flush with freshwater all lines are
cleared of seawater smell.

Hi,

   I think the Mast step turning blocks are a bit small for this
application.  The larger size like used on the Garhaurer adjustable genoa
cars would be much better I think.

   We lube the track with a little diluted dish soap before raising the
main.  The difference will astound you.

   We use ~1 tablespoon of soap to ~1/2 cup of water and just dump it into
the track above the top sail slug.  I dump it in when I'm putting on the
halyard and removing the sail ties.  Don't need very much and the difference
is amazing.

   I can hoist the main to the top from the cockpit with relative ease
without the winch, and it falls down the track very easily when dropping the
main.  Although I do tend to raise it the last foot and tension it with the
winch so that I don't need to "break a sweat".  

   Without the soap trick, I can only get the main up part of the way up
from the cockpit (with a lot of effort) before resorting to the winch.

   I haven't found that SailKote works nearly as well, and is expensive.  I
use it liberally on my blocks however.

Try it once then comment.

I understand that you've tried to fix things, but I
still suspect something more is wrong thant the
alignment of the stopper. I have been makeing
adjustments and even though I still have some excess
friction from an oversized halyard ( I got a deal on a
pre-spliced 7/16" halyard. Cheaper with the hardware
and splice than the bare rope in 3/8"...never again.)
it isn't as hard as all that to raise. In fact, I
don't even use thae winch until the last foot or so to
tighten the luff.

Sailcoat on the slides, blocks on the reef, fine
tuning the slug gate and cleaning all of the sheaves
has made a huge difference. I used to start with the
winch at the top spreader.

Hello All,

  Lately my #2 battery is very low after my boat has sat for 3-5 days. It
takes a charge from running the engine and I have checked the water level
with only the middle cell needing a bit of water. Should I be considering a
new battery, my boat is a 99 Hull# 603 and I'm almost certain these are the
orginals.

  The only thing new electrically is I have added a radio which had a
constant power connection to the battery for the clock and radio memory. I
have since disconnected that to see if that was the culprit but I suspect
not.

  thanks...

  The torque tube should be easy to remove completely, but I would not do

you are supposed to do the reassembly in order to avoid damage to the 
foil and bearings. You should not have to raise the foil at all to 
perform this task, although you should support it with a halyard so that 
it stays out of your way. Have you removed the luff rope feeder from 
the bottom of the foil? My recollection (and I don't have my manual 
handy) is that you have to remove the feeder in order to completely 
disassemble and remove the torque tube.

Len,

Why do you think that?  We have used the sink faucet for (7) years and have 
never had a problem.  We just leave the lever on the head in the pump dry 
position.  No sea water gets in.

There is also a mail order house in Annapolis, MD that sells Japanese glide 
tape, which works great except it is somewhat more expensive.  I think it 
was around $15 for a roll plus shipping.

Sorry, Len, but the sink water will entirely flush the sea water out of
the head intake line.  This is because you close the through-hull when
you flush the head.  The route of this flush water is sink drain to the
through-hull / T fitting, through the head intake line through the pump
through the flush line through the head to the holding tank.  At most,
a thimble-full of seawater would be trapped at the top of the through
hull below the T.

Where are you moving from. CC,TX is not Dallas and I grew up in 
Dallas so I know all the lakes. The lakes are small shallow and mud 
bottoms except as mentioned Lake Texoma which is 60 miles long, deep 
and has a sand island chain. Had a motor boat there for years and it 
is a neat lake. I now live in Austin and we have a rock bottom clear 
lake that is down 30 feet but still sailable from my slip. Send rain 
my yard and the lake need it. 100+ day after day after day but I 
don't have to winterize my boat.

Subject: [C320-list] Battery Issues

Hello All,

  Lately my #2 battery is very low after my boat has sat for 3-5 days. It
takes a charge from running the engine and I have checked the water level
with only the middle cell needing a bit of water. Should I be considering a
new battery, my boat is a 99 Hull# 603 and I'm almost certain these are the
orginals.

  The only thing new electrically is I have added a radio which had a
constant power connection to the battery for the clock and radio memory. I
have since disconnected that to see if that was the culprit but I suspect
not.

  thanks...
