I don't think that citation is on point to the OP's concern, but found it very interesting especially the part about duplicate light sources. Not...
Totally understand. My hat's off to people who can put huge projects together and keep them all in line. I don't work well with others, lol, so...
As a coastwise cruiser I have no need, but I do know how to use one. :cool: Electronic do go down more often than I cross the pond however and...
I do wish people who design boats would spend more time running them. Between helm lights shining back from laid back windshields and nav lights...
Guess you've never been here in summer. lol. I've seen many funky hoses here too. Every spring you see them in the marina dumpsters.
Having the lights forward of mid-ship generally makes the most sense (lets you know where the bow is), but that's not the law. It simply must be...
The white (with stripe) is a potable water hose, meaning that it doesn't leach chemicals from the hose into the water. It can still get mold and...
And I've heard they look very sexy. :D Back to the thread however. Although algae loves the light mold loves the dark I believe.
Has anybody here gotten on a boat, from a 6 pax charter to a ferry or even a cruise ship, and counted the PFD's? And who in Florida doesn't carry...
When we laid up the Hat for a bottom job (blisters), after 6 months inside with heat lamps it was still almost too wet to do the job. You've got...
Btw, when you put the 5200 in the holes and then push the plastic anchors in thoroughly wipe off the 5200 that squeezes out and right away. Once...
Be well and safe boating.
Absolutely. But how much longer will they be taught to maneuver with gears? Doesn't happen if they have pods even today. How much will it be...
Nope, it's what I thought. I'm hoping that if they are wood screws they're actually going into wood, but either way fill the hole with 5200, put...
The pop rivets are a great idea for connecting the rails IF they match the rest of the rail. Btw, because the OP s new here let me mention that I...
Yes with the Locktite, but I still think the 2nd set screw up top is unnecessary and will be above his skill set. 316 doesn't drill easily, and...
5200: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Marine-Adhesive-Sealant-5200/?N=5002385+3293241623&rt=rud
I suspect the upper set screw simply shook lose from vibration at the other end. So I doubt he needs to drill and tap (lots of fun with small...
I'd love to see a rail more like the one on the other side which is a handhold putting the pressure straight out, rather than what you have which...
I understand. What I'm pointing out is you're referring to this generation. I'm referring to the next who grows up learning nothing but joy...
