Unless the switch is also failed, you should be able to check if it is currently open or closed with a multi-meter. If it is failed, you can...
$40? Yeah, not worth fiddling with. Check that wire isn't tied too tight, keeping the wire in tension all the time. This might be a calibrated...
Use a heat sink epoxy like the manufacturer does. Read the instructions, prep it, stick it.
Wow, a million dollars for four months of crew pay.
Commercial working boats tend to be all hull, with not much superstructure. That leaves maximum deck space for working or cargo or loading,...
Or at least an older boat not much molested. I don't think the previous owner of my boat went below decks much, it was just a commuter to get him...
If it has stock engines and props, at WOT it should be close to original RPM and speed. Check that first. If it isn't, look for drag (bottom...
I'm looking for those dampers, don't see them at McMaster. I'll have to find out which engineer ordered them and from where. In the past I've...
Shouldn't be hard to replace with Tides or PSS.
McMaster carr has rollers with dampers, rollers with one-way dampers, look at those.
I see a lot of questions in that first post that aren't being asked. Is insurance really the only thing you are wondering about? You've got...
I wish I knew, I need to have Jeff show me around. I worked with Jeff at a marina decades ago, then college and the military and flying took me...
There is one like that in my town going to go on the market this spring. Parked next to mine in heated storage, I've been drooling over it....
Apparently it was a chatter he'd been hearing for a while and wondering about. My seals are under my aft stateroom, not in the engine room, so...
If you lose water flow I think you'll get some noise from a PSS and other graphite sealing systems, while the rubber lip-seals like Tides stick to...
Response from Tides is that storage won't cause the seals to stick, but overheating will.
1) For starters, an ice-class hull. From there, safety is an undefined quantity dependent on the skill and judgement of the crew, and then a lot...
Maybe. After working in the marina industry, I figure the people who spend foolishly on boats probably support the industry for those of us who...
Thanks guys, so many new things to worry about! ;) How long sitting would result in sticking seals? I'm surprised the seal has enough strength...
Interesting. My shaft seal water comes off my exhaust manifold, Tides specifies it come off the raw water line before the engine. Maybe I'll...
