Honestly... unless you build really heavy and pack enough fishing gear to troll deep in strong currents with a dozen rods simultaneously, a flat...
Well, the founders of Open Ocean Robotics have a place on the same tiny island my summer home is on, so I see their stuff getting tested pretty...
I like surgical tubing for stuff like this. You bend stuff over a simple mold, and wrap the tubing around and tuck the ends under a few wraps....
Definitely hard to get smooth but depending on the context, fairly fine sawdust works well. It does absorb the epoxy though so you have to watch...
There's the update we were all waiting to see!
I have NGKs in my 302 as well. The OMC stuff likes the Champions because of the inductive resistor. You can get inductive resistor NGKs but it's...
Minor heads up: auto parts stores will ask if you want the NGK alternative etc. You do not! OMC stuff really prefers actual Champion plugs.
this sounds extremely likely to me - in fact the one Johnson 70 I have worked on (by coincidence, I know we're referring to the Yamaha here)...
Now that does sound a little heat-soaky to me. Water stops going through the jackets, stuff on the outside of the motor gets hotter. BUT: it's...
That was all zero ethanol gas from the gas co-op near me; I believe it's 89 octane but maybe 91. I'd have to check to be able to swear to one or...
Oh jeez...guess that emergency buffer 3 gallon tank was mission critical after all. Without knowing more details, my first stop would be plugs......
He did text me from under the second narrows bridge, so the majority of the delivery was definitely successful.
Delivery underway
Loads of power in the motor, that's for sure. Gets up and goes. I didn't want to sit her on the pins for too long but I got 28.9 knots out of...
The problem with being overly literal about this stuff instead of attempting to grasp the actual meaning is that every statement becomes silly...
I occasionally forget about the absolute literalism of some corners of the internet but it rarely forgets to remind me after the fact.
Seems reasonable, in the sense that I would have no problem with those numbers as long as it wasn't my visa we filled up on. Did you maybe get...
Obviously - it is just there to illustrate why costs scale as an exponential of displacement even though the surface area gets relatively smaller.
Should be? In a way, absolutely...but never has been that I have seen. Every build I have been involved with, exceptions only being strip built...
Unfortunately, boats and in particular boats of one's own construction is just not a cheap thing to get into. Any time I see someone on the...
