Pretty much as yourself, I see.
I see that the Exumas are a great source of inspiration for clever and enlightening contributions. Enjoy your stay.
Yup, I'm aware of all the story. Pity, as I said, also because I agree with you on Zeus being actually better overall.
I'm sorry to see that right after I thanked you for your post, you are now jumping on the bandwagon of chest thumping against myself rather than...
An interesting way to twist an argument, if I've ever seen one. I wrote in my post #87 "...even Volvo Penta has been unable so far to publish any...
Yeah right, as if you would ever be swayed on anything. Never mind, though. I'm happy to reciprocate your conclusion, because as I said I'm not...
I just read that article. I don't think it points in any way to the possibility that chrome content in oil can be affected, also because they...
To put it bluntly, dismissing a catastrophic fault like that in a 5 years old boat with "stuff breaks" is beyond a joke. On the other hand, I can...
Fine, then man up, folks. Stop aiming at posters rather than contributing with content. If you have any factual evidence supporting what you are...
Not sure of what you think is wrong with that. I only used it because I'm not a mechanic myself, but I happen to have spoken with many who are -...
Among all forumites, you're the one who's less entitled to make such accusation. A year ago, after I wrote that I didn't want to enter into the...
I guess you posted your reply before I added the PS to my previous post. Anyway, the ring+carabiner was my choice, just based on storage...
Only one pod wasn't something done as scheduled preventative maintenance, obviously. Sounds much more like a ruined holiday for someone, after...
Mmm... Are you sure? Never heard of chromed camshaft lobes. They are rather made in cast hardened iron, and if worn out you should see high iron...
My first thought for the possible culprit would be either hull or u/w gear fouled - or more likely both. Reaching 2200 rpm without trying hard,...
When I said I couldn't understand the Mantus simplicity claim, I was referring to the handling, rather than to the device itself. By "only takes...
Well, if swallowing IPS and the troubles that come with them every other month means making room for a wine cooler, who am I to argue? That's by...
I'm at a loss in understanding the relationship between high chrome content and bad/worn camshaft or liners. To my simple mind, sounds like you...
Fair enough, that counts for one occurrence of hearing that in 30+ years. Every day is a school day, as the old saying goes. Just curious, didn't...
Same for me. My only reason for using a snubber is to get the chain slacked off the bow roller to avoid the annoying grinding noise, nothing else....
