The OP said that the dockside GFCI trips also with all onboard AC breakers off, so it doesn't sound like an appliance problem. In fact, his...
Because the water flow in front of the props is already disturbed by the struts plus shafts (and their rotation), and shaft zincs make things even...
That wasn't my point at all. I was just saying that I see no reason why bolts should be more prone to get loose depending on the shaft/prop...
The only logical conclusion I can infer from that is that Itama owners and/or their boatyards, for reasons only known to them, do not tighten the...
At my yard they use Sika 291, but I guess the 3M 5200 that CJ mentioned is just as good. AFAIK, the main reason for sealing the bolt isn't to...
Sorry MYlover, for some reason I previously missed this post of yours. Just to answer your question, yep, Italian is indeed my mother language....
Guilty conscience, leeky? Why do you read my comment as a denigration? Jealousy is another fact of life - at least as much as luck, if not more....
Well, luck/randomness is indeed a fact of life. According to many researcher, it's the most relevant single factor behind the fact that some...
In other words, the old "ends justify the means" principle. Are you a Macchiavelli fan, possibly? :D
As well as I said that you seemed to associate my comments to those articles. :)
Thanks CR, I must have missed that thread altogether. A lip seal it definitely is. In the OP boots I'd want to have both the seal and the shaft...
Thanks for your appreciation of my reasoning, regardless of if and to which extent you agree. I'm leaving the rest of your post out of my quote...
CR, do you mean because they are actually face seals, which by definition can't be fitted with a spare, or are they lip seals but for some reason...
No, I didn't express that. If you re-read my previous post, what I said is rather that the concept of productivity is debatable. The world moved...
In principle, overheating can damage all dripless seals, potentially to the point of needing to replace/refurbish them. But among the two broad...
VERY far from trying to be contentious either, but... Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, to name but a few in the top ranking of ultra HNWI,...
I wasn't aware of such polls, but I'm not surprised in the least by the results, for two very simple reasons: First, on paper socialism is a much...
Mmm... Speed up through that strait rather than waste just two or three minutes and go round the islet in open waters, where they could go as fast...
Liam, I don't think it would be a big deal to keep a boat like that on a straight course at anything above 5 or 6 knots, regardless of propulsion,...
I meant to ask before, but I forgot: Are you possibly referring to eSysman, who pretends in a recent YT video to have identified this channel as...
