  1. And just take a warehouse tarp to lay down so you can collect your old barnacles for the garden. One side at a time.
  2. Hi, could someone post please a picture of the correct way to run your line thru the cleating setup on these winches. You know the funny cleat thing on top. Thanks
  3. Agreed. Always have a plan B ready.ie motoring along, what would you do if engine suddenly quit? So dont go too close to hazards.Answer is to get sail up quick or else throw anchor over.
  4. Hi, sorry cant help, never heard of that one. Any chance of a photo.

    How would you go replacing with a elec WP? (Daviescraig?) Getting old one off impossible & just breaking it.Would you need some speed controller? It looks doable. Shibaura twin

    12 volts?

    So you're sailing along on the Tillerpilot and you see the voltmeter reading 'X' amount of volts and you think that is getting down, time to start motor charging. Qestion is what amount of volts do you consider you should start recharging? Its about 12-4 volts
  11. Hoping you might have invented something , say involving a gallon jug in cockpit, and a length of hose.? ? Not wanting to bleed engine either
  12. Anyone got a nifty little way of? (2 cylinder)Using dipstick not too accurate with a bit of swell. Thanks

    UK boat fire

    "Smoke clearly coming from the engine compartment" "my fire t raining from a previous career in Royal Elect & Mech Eng told me that opening the compartment would feed oxygen to the fire" so he left it shut and instead sent a Mayday call. 30 foot yacht a write off.(from PBO 9/16)Is this a bizarre way to react?

    Volts

    Have 20v coming out of panel(overcast day) then thru the regulator but only 12.3v on the start battery. Have never seen a reading over 12.3. Sound like the regulator faulty, or the battery is in great condition ?

    Vessel sunk

    The Irish boat had a new mast in earlier this week and then about Wed she was sitting on a different wharf and a crane or two were by her, and mast out this time.
  18. Erice,you wouldn't still have the 52mm rev counter for the 2 cylinder? Apparently a 3cyl tach is different to a 2 cyl.

    While talking Lyttleton, what's happening with the Irish Vendee race yacht?
  20. Hi, there is info on the net re Navman display problems and they are a easy fix (poor connection to blame) Google is your friend.
  21. Hi, I also need the paddlewheel and holder (the wires are chewed thru really close to where they exit) so if anybody found they did have the unit, much appreciated.
  22. Leaks. Is there something I can brush on over the seams to make watertight? Thanks
