I replaced the dry stack exhaust with a water lift.  It connects up with the old hose that does out the transom. Been working great about 10 years.  

And also getting the word out that I’m selling my 1976 Cal 2-46, Twisted Journey. Repower, new mast and sails, and electronics., etc…

Hello Fellow Cal 46 owners

With regards to using the Perkins diesel 4.236

Engine (mine is a 1968 model ) to heat water

Has anyone tried to connect the engine of the Perkins 4.236

To the raritan water heater ? As most newer

Boats have pre installed 

The engine runs at 180 Fahrenheit 

And I believe the raritan electric water heater is set to 110 to 120 F or somewhere there a-bouts 

I’ve search the internet and have not found good diagrams for this older Perkins as far as where to connect the inflow and the outflow

And I’m also concerned about galvanic corrosion if I connect brass valves to the engine block, not to mention someone

Possibly getting scalded with very hot water

Or a hose rupture which can cause a mess in the Aft engine room

Would appreciate any thought comments

Pictures advises  etc

The only way for me to heat my water at this time while on a mooring is to run the Genset

And turn it on (110V AC)

Thanks in advance

Edwin

Like you say, this is normal practice now. You might need to buy a new Raritan.

The key thing is to install a thermostatic mixing valve to moderate the temperature of the hot water supplied to the boat. It’s a common plumb/hardware store item that mixes hot and cold water to make the system safe.

Thx Phil

My raritan is set up for engine coolant heating

I’m fact the rubber hoses are already connected to it (inflow and outflow) when I got the boat. The previous owner just never connected it to the engine

I’ve looked at various 4.236 Perkins water heater connections on the web

It’s a very tight space and some of the newer models are slightly different enough to allow

Connecting fittings with valves 

This older Perkins (1968 built) is a little different 

I just need a diagram to know where to connect what. The raritan is clearly labeled

My problem is on the engine

Where do I connect ?

Thx

Hi cal 46 owners

Our yachts being hydraulic steering (like

Power steering in a car)

Has anyone ever used the

Raymarine EV 100 evolution 

Wheel autopilot?

It’s rated for vessels 16,000 lbs

But our sailboats have hydraulic steering

And they’re feather light to steer

Any tips or feedbacks for backup

Autopilots?

I have a davit so hydro and or monitor windvanes 

Won’t work

Hey Edwin,

I didn't know there were any Cal 46's with hydraulic steering.  My 2-46 is cable, and I thought that was standard; are the original 46's actually hydraulic?

In any case, if that's what you've got, the best choice I would think is a hydraulic autopilot steering pump (ie. guessing Raymarine type 2 or 3 depending on ram fluid capacity).  It's a relatively simple installation, though the drives are expensive.

I've had a wheel pilot on a tiny MacGregor 26X in the past and definitely wouldn't recommend it, personally.  I went through two drive motors over just 1,500NM, and that boat displaced less than 5,000lb loaded.

On Pacifica I have a Raymarine wheel pilot. Wanders like most but all in all I love it. Has had no trouble steering the cable steering system.
