I suspect, King Matt the first, has posted the loyal guard while the Royal Princess enjoys her beauty rest..

I've got a 50/50 mix of Acetone and transmission fluid in a small oil can for such occasions. If you need it only once or twice a year, mix it as you need it. All bets off if cross threaded.

correction Sorry Post #4675 Matt states sling weight is 10.5 TONNE. I apologize to one and all and to Matt for my error. Frank

The last lift weight slip was about 10500 lbs, I don't remember exactly.

Well Art, that gives us the two out of three, we know the year, the date tbd. The exact time will be 00h-00m and oos on a new clock expected to run flawlessly for many years. Go ahead and prop your feet up Art, close your eyes and stare into the magic of your brain. See how Matts' shoulder...

Early on when I joined trawlerforum I read it as Band-B. after a couple of weeks of no mention of radio gear or playing a harp on the fore deck underway I saw the light. :facepalm::angel:

The sales of sunglasses and white canes just went sky high around Perth. A new record was set today for the largest motorize mirror upon the sea and is based on the ideas of some workaholic Ute driver's imagination, of what he could do, starting with what some people would regard as a pile of...

Well Matt, from my perspective here on the east coast of the USA, every boat down under has some silly problem appearing upright. By the way, did the crane operator happen to give you a sling weight ?

Had to chuckle on that; :confused:. Don't want to see all that sweat and stink, just show me the damn boat !! :facepalm::facepalm::confused:

I do believe if I read it correctly, the AAA battery is contained in the wall mounted storage rack. Overall, a nice concept. Now let's work on the final dollar figure a bit.

All's well, Wx like that in June keeps the mosquito's at bay. Did you by chance CC: this bit of info to one of the Climate Change sweat hogs....I'm sure A.G. would thank you profusely in keeping him apprized of the current situation. Never did make it to Newfoundland, Bar Harbor Maine in...

Shipwright Sauzed used this on a working boat. A fishing boat to be exact, one that he did the same repair to the starboard side two years prior to the YouTube take listed above. I have known a few guys that make their living by fishing and I find that like any self employed working man that...

That is a real improvement....easy on the eyes. Frank

Merle Hagard 1937 - 2016 Rest in peace. I liked his voice...... and he liked Willie Nelsons pot an awful lot.

For the love of Pete......just when I thought I was up to date, Jetstream throws me a knuckle ball. I'm going to bed, schooling begins tomorrow I guess.

Target separation If you are trying to separate and see two targets that are close together, horizontal and vertical beam width are not the go to items, Band width and pulse repetition rate come into play. The very same two adjustments used to reduce sea return.

Try this; Rosborough boats for sale - YachtWorld Looks like the cats meow for river, bay and harbor fishing....If I wasn't so danged old, who knows, I might be polishing the sides on something like that myself. In the mean time, its shade, sweet tea & Black rum. :blush:

Let me rephrase that, "right rudder can't see straight". As to the shape of your reborn Cray, well I am rather smitten with it, to say the least.....BUT, what really impresses me, is the blood, sweat and tears backed by marvelous work ethics and knowledge possessed by a lone workaholic in the...

Mate, you did it again. Remember the pictures you posted when you framed the pilot house fore lights ? It took me several tries to see the correct angles on that framing job. Looking at your post (#2125 ), I at first think the picture is centered just forward of the pilot house but when I...

Thanks Donsan, I read the comments on the tail side, a lot of food for thought in there because most of those guys are familiar with much more than an off-on switch. Keeps me busy looking things up to half way understand what they are talking about. Frank

Late one evening I read an interesting article of how the government might utilize private boat owners to aid in updating navigation charts. The jest of the article inferred that the electronic information gathered by modern boaters through GPS, Chart Plotters and Depth Sounders could provide...

Yes..! And what an honor. A title acquired from your brothers, not self declared or sought. A genuine achievement through sweat, tears and tenacity of character. Sort of like being "Dauntless" Frank

SIKKENS CETOL: From the MSDS sheet; Section #3 ( Composition/Information on ingredients ). Appears to be Linseed Oil with a proprietary combination of vehicles, driers etc....etc. If you don't have a full time deck hand to worry about the varnish, then this stuff and others like it, moves...

A great recommendation. It is a long, exacting brain exercise that can be compared with some of the best learning institutions in America. Also they have an officers program in parallel with the core course. A graduate, upon leaving the Navy, is almost automatically assured a secondary...
