I want to source power from a dc distributing hub located on the portside. This hub is close to where the appliance (diesel heater) will be installed. This hub supplies power to the bow and stern thrusters. I have some ancor 10awg wires from amazon. The heat shrink terminals that I have are...

I got from John's video series Webasto uses 2x5mm hard nylon lines with 4mm rubber joiners Espar uses 2x4mm lines with 3.5 mm hoses I understood the espar and webasto here can be switched in letter. The rule is the rubber hose inside need to be a bit narrower than the plastic line So you...

the fuel hose in this application is rubber hose 5/32" (4mm) or 3.5mm, i didn't find a type A1 hose in this range

here is a video:

that unit looks like maintenance free. does it have an average service life?

Thanks for the decryption. Please send your photo of the tiller arm.

I have a Bauer 5.7A short throw random orbit da polisher, it has a 6 in backing plate that supports up to 8" hook and loop polishing pad. I learnt some common pads from your video link and this post but those are 9" pads, so I was looking for smaller like 6" pads.

does let the "gelcoat kick" = wait for ~5 minutes (for the gelcoat to set up) ? "...just use waxed gelcoat each time and start fresh without worrying about cleaning sprayer tips" -- I didn't get it. should it be "unwaxed" here? if waxed gelcoat make the tip difficult to clean, then it is...

I was searching if there is PVA in a small spray pump like you mentioned. The one I found from amazon has bad rating about pva is too thick and it only squirts a small stream rather than a mist. But one feedback confirmed a PreVal sprayer can be used to spray PVA. so I can get Preval spare...

@STB I think the "... 4 or 5 thin coats" are applied continuously. The boatus video tutorial at 6:08 shows 3 layers applied continuously. or do you mean to wait for each layer to cure, then clean and sand using 220grit to 320 grit before spraying the next coat?

Some manufacturers cut corners like this: the left one was purchased 10 years ago, the right one is a recent buy. I don't know if the cheaper through hull fitting also has less material. But it looks identical to the Heatso one in the picture.

The price is hard to pass. It also has good feedback. I will buy this Wayska.

I didn't get where the difference is. I would have put Wayska into my cart if I had seen it. both are pretty much the same product, $2 diff does not separate the tiers.

For this fitting, I planned to buy VTurboWay Stainless Steel 316, then I saw this fitting is over 4 times more expensive at Heatso what's the reason people would buy this from Heatso at a premium?

I wish it has wheels instead of rubber foots. but i don't remember having seen a fridge that has caster wheels.
