Who reported it, the skipper or the whale? :)

When I worked rebuilding big diesel generators several decades ago the salesman lined up to sell bypass filters. They work very well (the filters not the salesman) and do clean a lot of the finer particles the direct flow filters can not. However after installing bypass filters we never...

It looks like a kid's project, judging from the way the joint was made. Give it back to the previous owner, the kid may be 30 by now! -- Edited by Marc1 on Wednesday 4th of November 2009 06:33:00 PM

Well, I guess if you don't know the difference between an element and a compound then a lot of things must seem "just plain stupid." Jeez, you guys know how to have fun right? Why did no one call me? Carbon is inorganic? Carbon is Organic? What about Oxigen? Is Oxigen organic? What about O2...

88' sounds like fun, congratulations! It seems you pressure tank is water logged. (Wild guess) If your pressure pump has a tank next to it with a pressure switch on top of it, the tank is supposed to be clear of water in order to have a volume of air that can be pressurised and act as a...

I have 2 little problems on this particular site. a) I never get an email related to a new post on a thread. b) If I post a link it does not work as a link. -- Edited by Marc1 on Tuesday 20th of October 2009 12:39:12 AM

Sometimes when I read a thread like this and some others I came across I question the little time I spend on this forum. It reminds me of the condominum meeting of Seinfeld's father In Florida.... Particularly the few episodes about the Cadillac... -- Edited by Marc1 on Monday 19th of...

I agree, so lets go over the list shall we? Pull an oil sample on the engine & tranny and hope for the best. I find the above a basic requirement hoepfully already done by the Surveyor if he is worth anything at all. Anyone buying earthmoving equipment does this as routine and some websites...

Hi Piers, that is a lovely boat you have there! Looks fit enough to come to Sydney! Why don't you tell me more about it? Marc

But Martin, please look at your reply. You are mixing the issues here. If a to do list for someone else's boat is branded excessive it can not be on the basis of budget unless the owner of the boat discloses his own budget in detail. [and I am not proposing you do mister OK?] We are merging...

I thought Fred's list of to-do was on the money. Maintenance on any piece of equipment is designed to keep the machine in working order without any brake donws. Maintenance is based on the expected average life of each part. Each part as it reaches it's average life expectancy is TOSSED OUT...

Do they sell NatureFibre?

Ha ha, I also thought the post wrote like a TV ad at 3 in the morning. Perhaps we can suggest better ways to advertise to him? May be he can become a sponsor of the site for a moderate amount? So each time you log on you get a Poop Goop splash...I mean flash... Which brings me to my topic...

Well I dont answer for Fred, but at 52 weekends a year if your engine is on for 4 hours every weekend you got 205 hours in a year. By the way, what engine do you have and how often do you change your oil? As for synthetic oil, good old wikipedia has some good info...

You guys remind me that moovie "grumpy old men". You think he is spamming? Good luck to him! I had never heard of the stuff and google finds a web site stright away. May even be good stuff. Loosen up guys you are a really stiff bunch.

International, I agree, nice simple cheap engine. Not as nice as a rebuilt and polished Gardner but surely more practical. http://www.internationaldelivers.com/site_layout/engine/dt466detail.asp

Hi there! Here are two suppliers of marinsing kits for Kubota Both in Australia yet shipping of parts shouldn't be a drama. You can research suppliers in the US. If we have two you must have half a dozen. http://www.diecon.com.au/index.html www.wm-marine-diesel.com/ Another supplier of...

Hi there! Clearly at 200 hours a year no one is interested in saving a few dollars by extending the oil life. In fact with such low hours it is calendar days and not hours of service that should be counted between oil and filter change. My point is one entirely different. Synthetic oil is a...

I love the old Sabb I could sleep to that engine sound all night. As for DIY marinization, I suggest Kubota V1505 35HP 4 Cyl, or V2203 50HP. Cheap enough to buy brand new and several suppliers off the shelv marinisation kits and an engine that will keep on running for decades. [video=] Of...

Synthetic oil was first used in aviation jet motors by Germany in WW2. The early synthetic from the 60ties and 70ties had a different swell ratio for the seals then the mineral oil, hence some of the early problem. Too fast and the seals are tight, too slow and they leek. Change back to...
