If you're talking engines what about keels as you cannot even see the condition of the bolts?

Good as i have 5 window openings!

I think ill be covering them up under a cover when not in use. also, i recon don't over tighten bolts they don't need to be that tight and can always be tightened if loosening.

yeah rip the sucker out:)

Polycarbonate sounds very good then whats good about this butyl tape? yeah panhead stainless bolts sound good im thinking of fibre washers ?under them also to seal them.

Absolutely inboards are far better for the sea anyway.

hmm, don't want easily scratched...?

Ok im also wondering whats best type of plastic and why?

I'd need cornflakes for sure. i had one it had been underwater for ages but after a rebore i got it going the seals did a good job of keeping water out from inside the bottom.

totally flat but i gota cut curves just thinking of waves hitting it.[not that I'm thinking of the southern ocean] why use polycarbonate?

Over the winter i built myself a hard dodger for my yacht as i had no shelter It went very well [even looks good]but took many hours [but my time is cheap] Anyway, im thinking of windows now and the front one is 1400 mm x about 300mm so im thinking how thick should I get 8 or 10mm what say you?

NO way its a 2 man job to lift it id say even with the gearbox off especially getting it out of a boat on the water.

It's called security they have always asked loads of questions however you arrive into their country.

better to make sure we leave the hoards are ariving 100000 so far this year landed in Italy! and they're not looking for cheap diesel!

The Belgiums are stupid for having such a rule have they not got more pressing problems than bullying and ripping off poor brits with a bit of cherry in their tanks like Jihadis with AKs?
