Raw Chestnuts without the pulpy outer husk. So it is the pretty, and shiny, dark brown wood grain. Yup, seems to work.

I teach, and I also examine for the ROCM radio courses. You have a good question, and I’m not positive of the answer. It has been asked before, but I have never seen a definitive answer written by any authority. According to the government website certificates are valid for life and there is...

It would be good for that. What do you want to know? I have Orca. Perkins 45hp cruise’s nicely at 5.5 knots and can force it to go over 7 but no fuss doing just under hull speed. The stand up sunroof is brilliant, I use it just about every time. Steers terrific when manoeuvring and docking due...

Welcome to the forum. Why over 50 feet? That doesn’t mean the boat is big. That just means it’s over 50 feet. It could be 45 feet and have a lot more room on it than a 50 foot. Why does each child need their own cabin?You will find a much greater range of options if some of the children can bunk...

Answer #12 from Flatswing wins the prize. No cell service required for iPad to perform as a chart plotter. Internet connection required to download the charts. They keep operating but should be updated periodically (monthly?).

In the bottom left corner of mine is a small blue circle with a pointer(arrow shape) this changes the view, centres on your position, north up, course up. If you have the cross hairs activated, the chart centres on that. My cross hairs shut off after a moment and then the chart centres on the...

Like Koliver says. Works well but the Bimini in the up position traps that deflected air making a heck of a wind tunnel unless you are seated.

Years ago I quit replacing them on my tractor. According to the counter guy at my supplier, they quit working more often than any other instrument. Thirty years ago they would set me back $80 each which at the time was almost two hours charge out time for the machine.

On a boat delivery in the short days of November one year, we had use of an Ex military night vision unit. It could be handheld like binoculars or strapped to your head and worn. It had a single objective lens and two eyepieces: monocular in, binocular to you. IT WAS AAAMAZING. I still am...

You are over complicating it. Look at the sketch that Peter made. He has the answer that you are ignoring. The carabiner end of the legs does not clip on the handle. It goes completely around the handle and clips on the ring shown farther up the strap. That way you have the webbing on the...

If you draw from the same tank that you are putting the polished fuel into it will take you much longer than fourteen minutes to cycle it all, not the fourteen minutes you calculated. Your polished fuel dilutes what’s in the tank and you still have two hundred gallons left to filter. To...

Hello Iggy. You have two winners here. Jeff and Bacchus. They are describing two different stages of your dilemma. Jeff is describing getting your boat far enough away from the lift to start your 180 turn. Bacchus is describing the turn once you get out of the lift. The reason the rudder...

Otter had the port tank level rising. I kept closing the return valve for that tank until it evened out. Once you find the correct setting for the valve you don’t have to change it again. It took a long time to get it right. A valve half shut compared to fully open is barely a noticeable...

It’s bent. It doesn’t look like it is kinked. I don’t see a leak in that photo. Not a lot of fluid goes through that and it isn’t high pressure. If it is real easy to access it, sure, replace it. If no leaks or restrictions, why?

Off topic but regarding the Shackleton expedition, a guy down the road has a bunch of books. One set is about the Shackleton expedition, written by SHACKLETON.

Pure politics driven by public opinion. Other studies show it isn’t harmful. He said said this. She said that. In the end a politician decides on which way the voters will swing in the next election.

It was used for safety of the Orca (whales). I can’t possibly be the only one who sees this! Some might argue that it was also used for safety of the OP’s wallet in that another option, rather than contact by radio, could have been to board and give a ticket and resulting fine. Yes. I think...

I have some news for you. The photo of the electrical panels? Those aren’t SWITCHES. They are BREAKERS. You don’t take any of the screws out to access the back. There are no fuses or breakers behind there: they ARE the breakers. As already said, get some hands-on help from an electrician. You...

It has already been said that AIS is for safety. Seems to me that it worked exactly right in this case, for safety for the Orca. You were contacted because the AIS so simplified the method to contact you, not so with the boats travelling with you. With the touch of a couple buttons or clicking...

It looks amazingly like the Italian, Fiamm pump that comes with a Fiamm air horn kit. I expect it is the original.

No, you are not reading it correctly. In your application the charts will be reversed. The load on the hook remains the same but the load on the two legs of the bridle change. The narrower the angle at the hook end, the less load on each end to as low as 50%. The wider the angle, the more load...

Find the leak and replace that item. Buy a roll of plastic wrap. Tightly wrap the entire outside of one of the potential air leaks and go for a cruise. If that stops the air from coming in, you found the culprit. If not, then tightly wrap the next item. Repeat. The item must be securely...

They look very similar to ones I had on a Camano Troll. I searched for gaskets and then found it was the seal between the glass and frame that was leaking. Gasket was fine.

Ha ha ha. To the OP. I expect you have hydraulic steering. If so then marking the steering wheel does nothing because the wheel position changes, your indexing (zero) is constantly changing. Turn hard over and the rudder stops but you can still turn the wheel, changing your index. If you have...
