Download a pressure/temperature chart to be accurate at the time you are measuring. According to the one I am looking at it is 173.7 psi at 92f. Unfortunately most charts are only going to list low pressure. Suggest you check another unit for high side comparison. Unless gas has recently been...

Can you watch the water inlet strainers during startup to see if they have air? 5 minutes seems a little long if the inlets and strainers are clear and pumps have good flow. It appears you are moving a good amount of water.

"Other Option" was my choice when I upgraded. It appears from your photos that the rear of the Balmar is already tight against the back of the old spacing bushing in the bracket and you need a lot more on the front. Can't tell without some good measurements if moving the front tab of the Balmar...

Massey Ferguson Red from Tractor Supply

That is some serious stainless welding. I am envious. The U brackets look really solid. Have contemplated the same arrangement and fabricated a mock-up from some old steps but your hardware is what makes it work.

Definitely purpose built as a long range cruiser for a couple. Could be a good purchase if that is your goal. Probably also one of the limiting factors resulting in an extended sales time. Price reductions are a 2 edged sword. Generates interest, then the question Why? Probably want to sell...

Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and expertise. They are hard earned commodities. I am glad to hear you stay you plan to stay active in the form they are valued here. Have had several friends convert to land crabs in their senior years. Most notable quote was "The motor home doesn't...

This is why the subspecies Lawyer gives Sharks a bad name. No injured party, both sides were free to pay or receive more or less. So far a class action of 1. The only beneficiaries will be lawyers.

Totally biased opinion, have multiple marine ac units backed up by genset. Basically floating condo. If you are not considering a generator the unit will only be in use in the slip? No one wants to hear an air cooled unit running at the dock. Trying to walk around an air cooled RTU on your...

Yes, that radio has only 1 antenna connection so you need the multi band antenna. Digital Antenna has a couple of dual antennas in the lower price range. A good one is probably equal to the cost of the radio. I will leave the multiple frequency explanation to a HAM that is better versed in the...

A misapplication of a product not intended for this use resulting in the unnecessary discharge of chemicals into the ecosystem. I hope you are not close to a oyster start area.

Lexan is a brand of polycarbonate. the alternative is acrylic. Both can be used in this instance. Good quality acrylic "Plexiglas" is more resistant to UV than lexan and comes in a wider range of colors. Surface is more resistant to scratching. It is a less tolerant when drilling and cutting...

Hi Siber, Patience is your friend. We buy BG In-Force by the case and repeat the heating and soaking over several days with critical parts. Still not always successful. Have also drilled a very small hole perpendicular to the bolt to promote internal dispersion if there is enough material to do so.

I believe your last sentence is entirely correct. Well intended efforts have a way of spiraling into unintended consequences. I needed the use the pros several years ago to get a sailboat off a mud bar. When the boat came free the rudder stayed behind. Can't imagine the liability complications...

No, I never got any further with that project. Put it in a bin in the garage until I come across the later version to compare. Good Luck with yours. If you try the later one let me know if it fits.

For me a big consideration is storage. Have 1 built in tool cabinet in the bilge/er but it is not moisture proof so does allow rusting. The blow molded case that holds the large Craftsman assortment was a large part of the choice to stock it. A paper towel saturated with WD40 dropped in when...

Riverguy, Thanks for the effort in updating this thread. In the six years it has existed I have directed people to it countless times. We have a bin full of old rusted out grey panels never intended for the marine environment. It is a good visual aid regardless of the breaker discussion. It...

Just dug out my manual. It has a diagram of the optional temp sensor set but does not show installation location for the 2 sensors.:facepalm:. If I remember correctly there are a couple of plugs near the breather but hopefully someone will post a photo of a trans with this option installed.

Please excuse my poor humor. Did not mean to marginalize. Appreciate your effort sharing what has gone into the work you have done.

Conch engineering. 2-5 gallon buckets with a couple of rocks. Sometimes esthetics drive over engineering in the over developed world. :pirate: Thanks for the detail photos. I am repurposing some poles and the mountings are the challenge.

I used some micro plugs and made 3' extensions. Figured the plugs were probably equal to soldiering? Didn't see any measurable difference between with or without the extension. Didn't think to test with longer.

Not a problem. Bigger is actually better. Just make sure that your design moves the cooling water out. The dry stack version of that engine exhaust goes from 2-1/2" horizontal to a 3" vertical with an even larger muffler.

an 8% size reduction right at the outlet of a 6L. yes that's significant don't know how to calculate other than actually measuring pressure and exhaust gas particulate before and after. Second issue is heat increase will be significant. Looking at the photos in your other posting that pipe has...

Or a very small abominable snow person. The lift arm is easily pushed to the rear by mounding ice. The cycle lifts it, dumps ice, and then lowers it under pressure. If the pan is extremely full this action by itself can pull the front end of the arm out of the hole of the mounting plate and...

I will add 1 more comment. Really trying to convince you not to do that on your own boat. A 3rd world fishing vessel is not the standard of quality you should be working too. I have been working for a couple of weeks now sourcing all parts to completely re-pipe a system on a 100+' yacht. It...
