Replaced a ZF gear cooler due to oil analysis.
Just read 533 million Facebook users phone numbers, and personal data were leaked online.... Imagine that. Been using the Duck for awhile, works...
Don't like painted hoses and wiring. Had my boat detailer detail the er and repaint engines as needed 2 1/2 years ago. He cleaned everything...
They call it cracked gelcoat. Not what I would call a DIY project. The gelcoat has to be sanded, faired, and painted. The gelcoat mfg would not...
Had a loose rudder connection I could hear making a clacking noise when the autopilot would activate while trolling, but could not hear it...
Loose rudder connections would be a good place to check. The rudders are in the prop wash, with a lot of variable pressure.
You know what they say about 5200, only use it where it will never be removed.
Always liked the explorer's that had the capability to carry a sportfish. Fished on one once and have since thought it was a great setup to...

Always questioned why anyone thought data mining by anyone was a good idea. Now Facebook is considering adding facial recognition to their "Smart...
Same here. Computer failure, could happen to anyone.
Hmmm a no-brainer. The maintenance schedules are written to protect the Mfg'r during warranty's. Such as Cat's 2 yr aftercooler schedule and short...
As you know Tim does a cold engine inspection the day before sea trial. Brokers and owners ask, "what he is doing in the ER for so long". ;) I...
Agree 100%.
Most a/c's were probably serviced at 1000 hrs maybe 5 or 10 years, not every two years. The h/e's would go thousands of hrs and years before...
Judy, you could still repair with sheet metal plate on the inside if the top is accessible, it would actually better.
No mention of where tank is or if accessible on top. If the top is accessible to cut an inspection/access hole you could repair inside with J-B...
Good idea to apply stainless metal sheet with the epoxy putty over the leak, would work well on an exterior patch too. You could shape the metal...
