Try Fleabay

If Vetus calls them baffles I would not like to see them design a 50000 ton tanker. I fitted two stainless baffles shaped to the interior profile one each side of the centre support 45 degree angle and 2 clamping studs Needed a lot of patience and an extractor fan for the foul air, all done...

Think you will find that the fluffy ear`d winkle lives on that part of the coast whilst Falmouth has Mearle beds hence no dredging. But I agree with what you propose.

IMOP. electrically rather complicated to follow, one drawing seems to fit all. Spent 2 days a week ripping out and rewiring, the first question I asked does it all work?, everything except the alt warning light that glows all the time. Finally decided to remove the light panel and found all the...

daft thought. to stop a worn boom roller reefing gear from slipping from selected position!!! said it was a daft thought.

How are you going to supply the power for the tp. anyway there would not be any interference when sailing. I presume that you are charging the battery from the o/b?

Have a look at the Protectacoat range. Industrial non slip lasts longer than the usual "Marine stuff" well worth the extra.

when moored in calm water is the sounder vertical? and in the same place as the original?

self amalgam tape (Cannot remember its correct spelling) make a good seal if allowed to cure before tightening then Finnish off with a few turns when complete .

Topcat47. Yes and no its more than that. Teflon based, excellent stuff, the nearest thing to (Forgotten the name) a spray we used to use deep sea for drying out electrical equipment (Remember its called Phospro) would not have wd40 anywhere near my gear. Nor allow the stuff on board. There are...

Stuff called GF 84, most motor factors stock it. Good for anything electrical and mechanical.

similar problem, removed leg, stripped engine, renewed both seals, whilst out new ring,desalt, new head joint, although 14 she now runs like a 2 year old. Last use was to get water about 10 minutes, back to boat dropped off H20, 2 minutes to beach for dog and never ran again, did most of the...

don't flog the nut up tight, firmly at first, keep tightening until a slit pin will enter, job done,

1?2 tide mud berth, Velox on ME & aux, both props done at home . ME lasted for about 2 months grinding in the mud Aux still has a bit left, I am a bit disappointed after all the time and money spent. full tide mooring I think would last about 2 years.

I know there is nothing to be affected by water penetration but some of these "pro" marine engineers do this sot of thing, in fact I recently was asked to remove a nut that was tight and found that 601 retainer had been applied, asked who did the last refit "Oh so &so" and produced the bill. On...
