Fuel tank leak

[Bouba]

Today is checking the mast and winches on the fly bridge…

Not looking good for the battery at the moment. One of the connections from the solar panel had come out…flattening the battery…I am trying the ´recondition’ mode with the charger…otherwise it’s a replacement..no big deal

Just to show you one of my favourite pieces of kit…a full sae spanner set for my American engine…or should that be wrench??‍

Have you ever used more than three of those ?

Have you ever used more than three of those ?

Looks good but have you ever used them ? I assume that the hidden ends are 'ring' or do you need to get one out and look !

Interesting that Cummins are not metric .I know made in USA and all that but it’s a WW market .
Id find that annoying personally .A black mark .

Any CAT guys on here ? What are they assumed metric with the vol of Earth moving plant and marine stuff you see about ?

Those tools aren't oily or dirty enough to actually use.

My engine gets dealer serviced every year....but it’s very nice, when the mechanic asks if you have the right sized spanner...and you do?

That’s about my level of engineering skill?

 

[Bouba]

Ok...I’m off back to the boat to see how well my winch battery is recovering...then to the supermarket to buy some lemon juice to make another concoction for the bilge...

Better make sure that you wash it thoroughly after the mechanic has used it.

After all that weak acid, try a bi-carbonate solution.

Yes, I have bi-carbonate of soda on hand....if it’s a concoction to be found on the internet then it will be down my bilge...but from now on only natural ingredients ?

 

[Bouba]

Looks like my Bosch 75ah battery for my crane winch can’t hold a charge....I will keep charging with my cTeck smart charger until tomorrow morning and then I will see...a replacement is about €100 but have you noticed that Bosch seem to have their terminal posts opposite to many other brands?

Tomorrow’s forecast is stunning....no wind no waves nothing but sunshine and hot hot hot...we will go for a little cruise ?

 

[Blueboatman]

Well, why not ?
Have a fabulous cruise
?????

Now that is more like the problem you want to have.
