Not really. The design is a Hartley and the stringers are NOT rebated into the frames so as to allow free air/liquid flow right thru the bilges....
Inside the cabin with no way to escape. One big cluster of baloons to simply fill the cabin once one had escaped and shut the doors. Prob need a...
Wouldn't a thermal sensor piped back to the solar controller have covered that risk? I've installed literally thousands of solar controllers and...
Might seem like a long shot but given the space constraints on a 40' motor launch, has anyone any experience of this idea? Obviously there would...
Wouldn't be Iroko by any chance? That looks pretty much like teak but effuses oils for many years. That is why the test piece I burried in wet...
In my view, relays have no place on a boat unless they are 100% waterproof, of MIL spec and fused in the closed position with their coil terminals...
No, no and no! Adding relays is adding complexity to a situation that should be simple and reliable. This may well be a life and death issue and...
Just to throw another idea into the mix (although I appreciate that buying a second motor/shaft assy may not be your need), I thought I'd outline...
Gonzo, I guess that you haven't read my first posting. Not all motors are on rubber mounts but mine is. If I put it on fixed mounts with a direct...
By the way Fanie - you can count the sheep here now, they've all left for greener pastures and we only have about 295 million left (less the two I...
As a born Pakeha kiwi, I would say that the haka is fine as long as it's kept to relevant maori performances but I do object to my kids being...
I'm in NZ about 50km from the Abel Tasman National Park. But I grew up down in the south near Fiordland National park and that really is the best...
Well the inlet hole for the desalinator should therefore be 1m long by 1/2m wide. The solar panel could be used to cover the hole at nighttime and...
How does a 3m2 panel fit on a 1m long boat? And how short is he.... the vision of a short man laying down on a 1m long boat leaves me in tears....
Yes, although if I'm going to the effort of machining one up, I may as well do three (one spare)..... Good food for thought.
Thanks CDK, my apologies I forgot to explain that the inner of the housing that holds the two tapered Timken's outers has a 12mm shoulder at each...
And have the inboard end of the shaft floating around with the motor? How would I take care of the difference in angle between the gearbox output...
Yes I am using a PRM1000D box which will take the thrust. But, as the motor is mounted on rubber, there has to be a flexible coupling between the...
Now got it sorted Finally aftermuch ado and misleading information from a range of bearing suppiers, none of whom seem to understand their own...
Just leave the country and let anyone that wishes to sue get on with it. However you approach this, you will end up bankrupt (even if you are...
