I welded a piece of SS rod just in front of the rope catching gap of my rudder. It sheds rope down the front of spade rudder & works well. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4zvkf5fvquwb5d/Rope%20stop.JPG?dl=0 If you are going to cross a pot buoy.or mass of floating culch, immediately shift to...

By cutting multiple 6mm dados with a router in the hidden surface (bottom of table top), stress warps can sometimes be prevented/eliminated. A hot steam iron will sometimes help to flatten a cupped/warped board. Using the clothes iron dry on the convex surface will speed drying & shrinking of...

Your existing setup causes the rope to "squeeze" between the outside of a bow roller & it's mount? Even if you correct the angle of this rope from the roller to the cleat,what is to stop that rope from squeezing between roller mount on the outer(anchor rode) end,when boat swings at an angle to...

Agree-this is likely what happened. "Sealed" lead acid batteries are not sealed-they require at least a small vent hole per cell. You may find pry out caps-sometimes hidden under a label,etc. Recommend you check fluid levels in good bat. & top up as necessary. Sounds like it was "boiled". Hope...

Consider a gable roof rather than shed roof for workshop. Minimum 7 Ft wall height. Gives you full size overhead storage for not much extra cost. You may get some "Canadian" ideas from this site https://www.google.ca/search?q=Graves+Barns&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=qZDKV_22MMbbmQHn8LyoDw...

Think I read on Dickinson website that they now own SigMar. Possibly the Sig line has CE sticker. http://www.sigmarine.com/manuals/SIG-Cozy-Cabin-2011-2.pdf I can't believe that Dickinson haven't bothered to get CE approval. They are UL & CSA approved & are the most popular marine heater in...

I live in a Canadian east coast fishing community,right on the US border. The only thing left here is lobster & some sea scallops. Cod,haddock,pollock-I could handline all day & never get a bite. 15 yrs. ago,I could catch my 10 fish per day recreational limit no problem. Commercial Atlantic...

A possible answer-aquaculture- farm them http://en.aquaculture.ifremer.fr/Sectors/Fish-sector/Discoveries/European-seabass Seabass (bass) are already being farmed in Spain by Cooke Aquaculture http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/1223120-cooke-aquaculture-expands-with-major-spanish-deal

We call them tappets over here. You will have 4 for your 2cyl engine. You will have to remove the cyl. head to extract the tappets. They are the little cylindrical things shown in camshaft removal section. As Paul said-find a Youtube video for any engine to learn how. / L EDIT: Wait a minute...
