What tales do you have of engine techs or dealers telling you that using a fuel additive will put your engine warranty at risk?
Somebody screwed up. Considering there are something around 55,000 merchant ships over 500 tons trading around the world 24 hours a day 7 days...

Those photos and the drawing are not the same item. The upper ring with the square headed set screw looks like a low-rent shaft collar type of...
There aren't any pictures in that post, just a link to some site that you have to subscribe to in order to see some pictures ... maybe. Why not...
Soak them in muriatic acid for a few hours.
WRT post #236: It is interesting to see that the foil attachment was stronger than the hull girder. One would think, or hope, that the design...
Why does it appear that they simply don't want to talk about it?
I still wonder why Starck gets the credit for that design when the US Navy put it on paper as the Zumwalt class destroyer sometime before 2000 and...
