no you do not understand that a portable generator on a swim platform is less of a CO risk than a generator in the bilge of a boat, even if it is well maintained. obviously you do not understand the physics and chemistry involved in what is going on. Do a complete FMEA of both systems and see...
In Canada you are required to have that certificate if you want to transmit on your radio. You don't need one if you have a radio and only listen on it, but its really not much good then.
I have my radio and GPS connected and have an MMSI number registered. I also carry a PLB with me. The first...
Most likely your solenoid is the type that has two coils and is stable in both positions. What this means is that you apply a voltage to one of the solenoid coils and it turns on. Once it is on you can remove the voltage and it stays in the on position. To turn it off you apply voltage to the...
Just want to correct this statement. I suspect it was a typo on your part but don't want anyone else to see this and assume it is correct.
You should have said there is very little VOLTAGE difference between the neutral and ground conductors.
There is a large difference between the CURRENT in...
I had the same issue with mine. Used a wire brush to get all the loose stuff of the back and then brushed on 3 coats of plasti dip. It's starting to separate from the back of the carpet now but it was 6 years ago that I put it on.
Why not just drain the water out of the blocks? Takes about 15 minutes to do. Way better solution than light bulbs or non ignition protected heaters in the bilge.
Is there anyone here from the Sequim Washington area that could have a quick look at a car that I am considering buying. Need to know it its worth a trip out there to have a look myself.
PM me if you can help out.
Thanks.
The only thing you really haven't checked properly is the raw water pump. Pull it off, remove the impeller and see if the pulley turns freely with no grinding.
If possible have any shipments come by USPS. It might take a little longer but in my experience when the parcel comes most times when the value is around $100 or less there is no fee at all, not even GST.
When they do decide to charge you the "brokerage fee" it is $5.00 and GST is added. I...
adding to the mix a little more ... Sealand/Dometic recommends against using alcohol based antifreeze in the vacu flush systems because of damage to rubber parts. If using the little more expensive Propylene antifreeze means I don't have to change duckbill valves quite as often then that's what...
The whole point of my post is to get you guys to take a look at yourselfs as a country to show you are far from perfect. The USA lags behind a lot of other countries in education, healthcare, infant mortality and life expectancy. To say it's the greatest nation right now let alone of all time...
Net official development assistance by country as a percentage of gross national income in 2015[edit]
The OECD also lists Development Assistance Committee members by the amount of ODA they spend as a percentage of their gross national income:[1]
Sweden – 1.40%
Norway – 1.05%

Well making statements like you did without facts to back them up is nothing but a worthless comment. It maybe your opinion but the facts don't back it up.
Trailer sway is almost always caused by too little tongue weight. Can you move the bow stop up a little?
Post up a photo of you boat on the trailer hooked up to your tow vehicle. We'll be able to help you a lot more if we can see what you are dealing with.
Over charging batteries is the fastest way to kill them. I leave mine in over winter and charge them maybe every 2 to 3 months. And I live in a place that is a lot colder than you will ever see.
My batteries are now 6 years old and still going strong.
You forgot the final step :
In the spring replace the engine because of the cracked block.
As soon as you shut the engine down to drain the manifolds the engine starts to cool down and the thermostat starts to close. You would be lucky if you got more than a gallon of antifreeze to mix with...
