Be sure and let the painter know what you used, and maybe supply the MSDS. The manufacturer lists Polydimethylsiloxane as an ingredient, which is...
I've seen that happen on a Detroit 8V92, where the T-bolt type of clamp that secures two parts of the exhaust flanges together simply broke and...
It's good to see a proper lookout posted on the bow. Not many do that.
Another possible improvement would be mounting a quality remote speaker in the overhead/headlining right above your better ear when standing at...
The uncleaned brush should be in plastic in the freezer next to the ice cream, though.
Could it have been arrival at waypoint? The gear we had on the last delivery did that. The plotter was Nobeltec TZ, though, but there's been a lot...

Thanks, Brian, good post. Turns out that Zuckerberg personally met with the President to put in his 2 cents on Tik Tok...

We do a lot of deliveries to/from Ensenada, MX. It's about 60 miles, and we get questioned about needing two people frequently when giving a...

Maybe try a local industrial bearing supply company. Walking in with the take-off bearing works best. I avoid Monday and Friday visits. They can...
Interior wood types are somewhat driven by veneered plywood availability. In general terms, I have seen many interiors that look like a match for...
This situation brings RER's post #13 from https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/leaking-shaft-seal.33223/#post-297314 to mind. If the engine is...
