i just did one of mine, yes in the water and yes water does pour... not gushing but almost enough to rinse your hands under. but really no problem, remember to cut the packs at an angle and install them with the cut in different spots so you dont have 3 rings of packing with the cut on top of...

yes, here are some pics. unit is now removed from my boat and in a shipping crate, ready to be shipped.. or picked up. feel free to pm me.

At around 9 am on Sunday we heard a loud boom of sort, I was down below attending to my sleep needs; it sounded like something fell on the bulkhead above me, and it alerted me to peek out of my bunk. My 9 year old daughter looked at me and asked "what was that", only then did i realize it was...

no california taxes? how is that? i bought diesel at Jankovich @ LA/San Pedro ports for $3.40 per gallon on july 21, 2012 but they charged 8.75% tax.

by the use of a remote control or what?

BH - I do admire your optimism! I'd be interested in hearing more about the "ghost" auto shut down. I have similar fire protection in my ER and it might make sense if the shutdown is combined.

you are probably not wrong however if there is better for a reasonable cost, then i want better. http://www.evanscooling.com/assets/Uploads/HD-Trucking-article-June-09.pdf

Quite the opposite occurs. Why do you suppose it is possible to boil water over an open flame in a paper cup? Where do you think all that heat goes? water does well absorbing heat, and actually during or at the vaporization point process a lot of energy is absorbed but once the water is...

Rather backwards way of saying, "I would rather use a lessor quality product because if it fails I can smell when it happens". I guess you must have experienced an overheat failure on your boat since you know that you could smell the antifreeze boiling and your alarm did not activate. I guess...

Thanks FF... Water does well cooling up until it boils at 100 C, then it (to my knowledge) has no cooling abilities whatsoever. Not only that, the air produced in the vaporization process will act as an insulation barrier which will only add to the problem. At which temp does actual damage occur...

here are some "boats" we went by on our way through the LA and LB ports, on our way to fuel before heading to the Island. It was a beautiful summer morning.

no trees like that but we looked around here we are at the USC Wrigley Ocean Science Campus, the helipad is serving the hyper-barometric chamber used to treat divers from all over California and N. Mecico. (btw that eagle looks so cold it grew fur....)

sounds good, i got plenty cold ones onboard.

my engine(s) did not get that hot you guys are probably over interpreting as there is no problem. i am doing my heat exchangers this fall and instead of using old technology i am interested in using this stuff, it has some very strong abilities to cool and it does not contain water so no...

i am not looking to exceed the manufacturers limits. just being overcautious in case of an overheating issue. if your engine overheats this coolant will keep cooling. water based coolant will expand, blow steam in your engine and make cracks in big blocks of iron.

Thanks Rick, why is that? lets define "that hot" = 240 deg Fahrenheit when water is no longer a good cooling medium.

that is exactly what i do first day on vacation when the boat is safe in the mooring, and always from the flybridge... here is a tree for Marin, a real Catalina tree...

The Island of Catalina have many anchorages for those who seek solitude and tranquility. We prefer to be on a mooring where we can go ashore, buy a meal or an icecream. It is not full commando but it is also far from marina life style, though many people have come there for generations and have...

BINGO Evans Heavy Duty Coolant waterless coolant boils at 375° F and is a lifetime coolant. It does NOT contain water, which means less corrosion.

Yes coolant but better.. someone had posted a link to a product. i cant find the post or the link... since i am flushing the system and putting in new coolant i figure why not go the distance and get this stuff... (if i can find it again)

i have the spare air tank, for little jobs like what you mention. i got the "self" refillable version, so you can fill from a tank or at a dive shop. it is also good to have for situations where you need to breathe for a few minutes (such as freediving/spearfishing and yes i am really...

i just repowered with a refurb NL 5KW (the NL 5kw was highly recommended to me by several independent parties) cost was apprx $7K incl installation. let me know if you are interested in a contact for the refurb seller (in Florida).

since it is boating related i had to share.. Iceberg tsunami gone wild! - YouTube

I hope everyone is getting out there on their favorite spot and enjoying the water. I finally bit the bullet and had my generator replaced, got a refurb NL 5.0 KW. This past weekend we went to the Island (Catalina) got on a mooring and really enjoyed everything boating has to offer. Here is a...

This unit was just taken out of my boat. It has a hole in the flywheel cover but it actually runs (but you cannot operate it with the hole in it..) It could be used for parts or if you can repair the hole (it is nickel size hole) then you will have an operational genset. Note that I have been...
