    My 6V House Batts

    *So what would you recommend for engine start batteries. I know the thinner plates of a start battery supply more amps, but are more amps vs the longivity of a deep cycle battery better in a engine start application. *Yep!

    We love Seattle

    Try I-10 going west toward Katy TX*out of Houston on any week day after 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM.* It's not called the Katy Crawlers for nothing.**

    Cat 3208 n.a. coolant leak

    *It is not a waste of time if anything that anyone said helped you gain the confidence to do the job.* And that's what seems to have happened.

    Reasonable or Nit-Pickey?

    *OK then the canvas you knew about and was reflected in you original offer or it should have been. The broker should have least been able to tell you when the last time the bottom had been done.* If two or three years ago then it may be due if six months ago maybe OK depending on who did it. No...

    Reasonable or Nit-Pickey?

    *First off it is not new and the older it is the more little things that you may find.* The canvas and bottom paint didn't change since you made the offer.* Neither did the other three things. That being said what we did when I bought mine, as suggested by my buyers broker, was to list them all...

    * Wow, that Boeing design is so popular even after you mention it I don't know what you are talking about.* As I'm guessing neither does SD. *Sorry.* When you live in the aerospace world it's easy to assume everyone else does, too.* This has been our official company paint scheme since the...

    OTDE - Has... err, Had its place!

    Sorry Art, I don't agree.* There are over tones that creep into the rest of the Forum.* That is one of*my biggest problems with it aside from the arrogance that some have thinking their writing skills and use of grammar is superior to most thus they are as well. Just reread some of these very...

    Tires (Trawler related, well, sort of)

    *You might ask the clowns at the tire store how about the cars that are stored at the port in JAX.* Bogus information.* If you are truly worried, and I wouldn't be inflate the tires to 50 - 60#'s or so.* It will take care of keeping the tires round and slow leas as well. BTW that is how the...

    Windlass on Mainship I, II, or III

    *The "nifty" style is small and uses a small inexpensive motor.* The case is cheap as well.* What you are asking for needs a larger motor to turn a drum and some body is going to over load the system and then bitch that it failed so they seem to be a bit more robust. Thus cost more. Good luck...

    Polo Shirts and Fishing*Sport Shirts*for Stella Di Mare.* The Lon/Lat is where my old*slip is.* Just in case I fall off the USCG will know where to bring the body.* New shirts are in the making with new Lon/Lat.*

    Windlass on Mainship I, II, or III

    *Peter B, Notice my comment was in "-".* It was in reference to the original poster looking for this set up but when he found something that cost over $1,000 he was worried about the price so these units were going to scare the hell out of him. I'm not changing mine over to anything.

    Windlass on Mainship I, II, or III

    "I found a company called Muir that makes them BUT geez the price on these suckers is up there. *$2800-3K in the size I'd need." I'll bet this unit makes that price look like a steal.* There were no prices for the unit*on the site so that tells you something.

    How ofter do live aboard leave the dock

    Girling had high temp brake fluid before any of the US folks did.* The only problem I ever ran into that was a*PIA was their double cup calipers* on the rear of the E Jag.* The problem was that the pads were so hard that there was little wear*so little movement and up north in the snow with salt...

    Sleved cylinder Knocks

    *I like that Fred.* But in his case he is probably better off letting it be.* It runs why take the head off again.* That would have maybe worked when he had the head off the first time.* A little shade tree, no a lot shade tree but it could work.
