The weld repair would be with the pan removed, that's the only way to do it proper. Likely drill-out the crack to stop propagation and eliminate stress-risers. Load test not possible, hence known risk. Currently getting Cat to provide accurate lead-time on new part, which is the preferred if...

Oil Pan Leak - Weld versus Replace In preparations for June cruising my inspection of the engine room discovered an oil soaked pad under the starboard Cat, further investigation found an oil leak from the oil pan. After cleaning the area and running the Cat it was clear the leak was coming...

Anchor Alarm I use the alarm output feature from the Garmin to fire a piezo alarm in the stateroom. Also use Anchor Pro Premium app as well as Aqua Map. Anchor Pro Premium is great for the initial “set” data, just know the length of rode and point the iPad to set the bearing and you’re all set...

Yes, I use putty/clay/duct seal for smaller gaps and agree it’s perfect for smaller openings. I’m seeking something for a larger opening with multiple penetrations. As seen in the photo.

Thanks - we have been using the vinegar method with some success, however I’m more seeking a solution for the source. I suspect this could be a battle that can not be won, however thought someone out there may have a “trick”. I did read about filling the tank to “full” with a mixture of bleach...

We just replaced the 30 - year old Frigidaire combo with Asko washer and vented dryer. Very happy with this upgrade. We’ve been onboard 3 years and would not do without a washer & dryer. If you can fit them, they are great to have. The small 24 x 24 foot print of the Asko is convenient. I had...
