I've previously posted about my same experience re: the fingertight aft nut and keel bedding so many times that my head hurts every time I repost about it.
QuoteAre you thinking that CTY bolted-up the keel nuts/washers into wet gelcoat? Doesn't seem logical to me. What does, is the known issue on C-30s of torquing the nuts so many times that the washers compress the glass and bury themselves in the gelcoat.
QuoteThat said I'm unsure whether I would trust the yard with anything. Someone who blocks jack stands with 2x4s has (IMO only) questionable knowledge/conscientiousness and at worst doesn't care about their customers' yachts. Gimmeabreak -- don't they have lumber yards in ME?
QuoteSee above for (IMO) the danger of too-often and too-tighting of the keel nuts.
Keel nuts that are 40 ft-lbs shy do not cause the Catalina smile.
Quote from: Schulcb on May 12, 2024, 08:03:34 AMAfter removing the S wire from the gauge, the resistance from the S wire to the panel ground (checked using the G post on the temp gauge) IS 970 ohms. Checking the resistance at the sender again (cold this AM) is 900 ohms.
When the gauge started displaying inaccurate readings it was sporadic with it going from "pinned" high to reading normal. Then the frequency diminished until it always reads >240.
This morning with the engine cool, when I engerize the panel the gauge reads ~170'F.
Not sure it this tells you anything...
Thanks,
