Ah so you actually followed the instruction ;^)

Hi Pete, I kinda am, but when I put my sensor in I made sure that the
center of the sensor was aligned with the center of the rudder shaft and
the arm was parallel to the yoke arm when the rudder was centered and the
little connecting arm was parallel to a line running through both centers.
It took some doing, but made calibration easier.Bob
I’m not being terse. This is from my cell phone and I detest typing on it.

Hi Pete
Rudder angle indicator on Clairebuoyant hard over against the stops:
32 degrees to port, 29 degrees to starboard.
Geometry is pretty accurate, 1.5 degrees out at centerline is actually
pretty good for just eyeball work.
You probably should shave off a few degrees so autopilot won’t hit the
stops.
We have a Nexus/Comnav autopilot which is pretty much self calibrating.

Having been with BoatUS for many years, the deductible on our policy has
gone to zero and they were not pushing back on the value of the boat
after refitting. These two features gave them the advantage after
looking at many companies.Pete

are they 8# or 6#? I am pretty sure they are 6# (I have four of them
on my boat. Two in the locker and two tied to the mizzen mast)
Wish they were 8#… 33% more.Pete

Hi,
Did all 424’s come with the same propane set-up on the port side of the lazarette with two 8# tanks? Any modifications anyone has made, or issues with the set-up, I would love to hear of.

Hi Pete,
Congratulations on launching. Does this mean we won’t see any more articles about refitting a Pearson?
Hope I’m not too far behind you.

with shipping… about $780. I could have used a thinner stock and
saved about half (and also the weight) but it looks great and it is one
of the first things that was complemented on when I got the boat to
Florida (after the paint job).

Brought her into Titusville on the truck (Westland Marin) on August 8.
Splashed a week ago Monday. Sunday motor sailed down to her new home in
Melbourne, 6 minutes from our rental house.
New engine is great. Still need new sails. Still have to start up
systems like fresh water pump, refrigeration, etc. Also, one of the
wires in the mast seems to have come unconnected so I have no anchor
light at mast top and the VHF does not seem to be getting out, so a few
wires to check out. But VERY VERY happy to have her back in the water
and a trouble free 38 mile run on Sunday.On 8/27/2013 9:20 AM, Silverheels wrote:

Strange as it may sound, the folks at Plasteak advised me to screw the
stuff down tight without oval holes but just slightly oversized holes.
So far, I have seen temperatures from negative 20 F to over 100F without
anything breaking loose. (Colorado… but now in Florida! Yeah!)Pete

The oversized holes are the ticket as well as using a larger joint between
the planks. As a matter of interest, though, I’m planning to replace my
caprail with ipe, a wood that is much harder, far more dimensionally
stable, and less expensive than any plastic. Also, it doesn’t require any
maintenance. I’ll probably remake my grab rails with it as well. It’s
tough stuff and requires drilling for any fastener.Bob

I have found that King Starboard expands 1/32″ per lineal foot per 40

mean at least 3/8″ per 8 foot section. Any ideas as to how to make the
joints and drill oval holes to accomodate this? I had thought a flat half
lap joint with oversized holes filled with 4200 or polysulphide (Life calk)
might work. Ideas?_______________________________________________

I found a very high stretch caulk at Ace Hardware that is amazing for
joints like this. Of course these joints are only cosmetic, they do not
seal water out of the boat.On 8/26/2013 11:28 PM, Rlapp wrote:

Hi all,
I am looking at a 422 but the caprail seems to be the same on the 424s. Does anyone have any information and photos of how the caprail is attached and what is under the caprail? I am considering using King Starboard AS diamond texture. It works like butter, wears like iron and requires no maintenance. I am just trying to understand what sort of can of worms I may be opening.
Thanks, Risto_______________________________________________
