Using a dewalt buffer and presta cutting creme before and after. Other shots after hand-applying collinite 885. Roughly 10 hours of work including washing and taping off. Will do topsides once in water as shoulders are killing me. Sorry for the lil pics. Need to upload to photo account...

Is everyone else's battery bank setup screwy with routing the cables over and under or under and over the battery handles? I'd like to see the cable ends set lower on the battery terminals but it's impossible with the battery straps there. Does anyone remove the straps?

http://www.hoornaert.net/?q=basic-sailing-knots-x-10-extras Scroll down to "fender knot." I like that for when needing to tie to rail Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I do a variation of the clove hitch. Not sure what it's called but the second loop goes behind the rail as what's pictured so that the tail and standing part end up on same side. More like a luggage tag knot I reckon. Never had trouble using it with 3-strand.

I did the oil in fuel filter method but didn't get smoke really even after a few minutes. Should it smoke like a typical fog process?

Forgive my ignorance but I imagine a standard brass garboard plug would be bad.

Brilliant! That'll save me a few trips back n forth.

The heat exchanger part takes warm cooling water from the engines and circulates it thru tubes inside the water heater to warm the water without electricity. I'll forgo that and just rely on the genny to make hot water.

During the bypass process I ripped out a heat exchanger hose with very little force mind you. The fitting at the water heater failed and the inside of the hose is full of a hard white substance, assuming from the boat's previous life in salt water. The whole design seems to be a potential...

Not on furlough but took a good friend out today so he could enjoy his furlough day and take his mind off

Second visit to Coles Point. First time eating there. Great food!

Thanks! I found a manual for a 200w amp in the bag but wanted to make sure if that was a replaced amp or still installed somewhere. So the cabin speakers are powered via the head unit then. I gotcha.

I think i have the upgraded audio system or these were put in by a PO. Does anyone have these next to the amp located stbd under the fwd berth. The amp is a clarion apx400.4m. Are these things just crossovers for the mids and tweeters in the cockpit? There are 4 of the little boxes. Also...

. Last FF of this year!

Yep.... Motivation has left the building!

We were out there from ~1230 til 5 or so. Was expecting a little more people watchin ops (hi lite had to be the 5/6 young ladies in an almost swamped motorized 8' dingy) but we did stay on the outskirts on the ricks side. No way really to shoe horn in there. Lots of patrol in the area, that's...

What kind of sh!t show should we expect? We will be there around noon and want to make sure we can escape around 5. Ideas on how far out to anchor?

Leaving from Dahlgren hopefully around 1115 ish

Ok thanks. My choke and/or throttle was sticking but it seems to be better now after some jiggling so i was looking to see what it would take to pull it at some point. Less than 50 hours on mine which worries me.
