I am to screw an aluminium enclosure box to an aluminium bracket on top the mast. What type of screws/machine screws should I use ?

Brand new Garmin GPSMAP 79S/SC. After charging from the mains (in UK), the screen locks. Only way of getting out is to remove the 2 batteries, putting them back in again, then all is fine. Must be me ?

Bring back Earl's Court, cheek by jowl with everyone so you had to talk to them. Bring back Cliff Mitchelmore on the Tonight programme live reporting the progress of large yachts with traffic lights and street lamps being removed. In the past? It could be in the future !

The answer to my original question Self Amalgamating Tape WHERE ? Well here's the answer: RUBBAWELD ... and despite today's name, the character of the old Amalgamating tape behaved exactly like RUBBAWELD ! Once stretched tight, it sealed there and then. Ideal for yachties and the...

The application is at the top of the mast which is stored down on the boat. Amalgamating tape is to seal the ends of mast wiring. All is outside, where hanging around to see if it really will seal is not an option.

Self Amalg Tape, not as I remember it. I bought this recently ' PSP Self-amalgamating Tape' and using it in 12° winter temperatures. Do I have to use a blowtorch to get it to amalgamate? Yes, I know you have to stretch it against itself, but this stuff is a form of electrical Tape...

Right everyone, but one more parcel of your patience, so where does the battery negative go to ?

Thank you tross, but it leaves out very specific detail, e.g. where the negative from the mast wiring goes. But thanks

YouTube shows me lots of videos, but none shows the specific 6 pin connection of the DPDT switch , especially where the negative coming down within the 3 core mast cable is finally to go. Is there a good video around or circuit diagram. That mast is stored down, so everything is accessible.

Thanks everyone - good advice from everyone. Thanks,

Should a bog standard tester achieve continuity, obviously connecting together two wires at the top and then testing at the bottom - 30 foot mast ?

Looking down on them, turning clockwise loosens or tightens ?

Just got mast down with club hoist. But a devil of a job removing bent over splitpins. What tool/method makes it easy ?

50 mil 'ish syringes to fit through West Systems Epoxy tins. Try as I might, I can't get a straight answer from them. No , I don't want or need there pumps.
