Years ago I had a brake sticking on my car. Assumed it was the caliper seizing so replaced it. Problem did not go away.Turned out that a metal clamp holding the flex line was corroded and choking it. Master cyl, had enough psi to push brake fluid out to the caliper but the restriction slowed the...

Have you tried both searches - the one with the little magnifying glass and the one "Enhanced by Google"? If you made a comment on one of the threads you are searching you can also find it under "My topics". Sometimes I have seen "You cannot make another search so soon". Usually if I go back...

Apparently he did break the record for the fastest solo time by almost 6 hours. Amazing! Rob https://www.obawebsite.com/71-year-old- ... s%20record

Another factor to consider when calculating amps is the voltage. To calculate an appliances specific amp draw the specific voltage should also be noted while recording test results. Rob

What are your current batteries? Several variables. What are your house needs? What size engine? What cranking amps are required? How will they be recharged? Bigger is not always better if charging capacity is minimal. Colder climates also play a role requiring higher cranking amps. I recommend...

Excellent work - well thought out and executed! Only thing I might add is that when inverters are operating @ or near capacity they generate a lot of heat from the amps used @ 12v. In your "Single handing" configuration with the 8D pushed over to the port side hull it appears to be close to...

John, sorry to hear about your Father. I just went through his album again - very interesting and spectacular pictures. Good luck with the sale - it is a beautiful boat. Regards, Rob

Beautiful boat and impressive video - looks pristine, well maintained and outfitted. Rob

This is certainly true in many cases - estimated sea state VS the perceived protection the harbour would offer from predicted weather. Just a quote on a wall plaque I have had for years similar to Kars 10 tag line. Rob

"A ship in a harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for".

Interesting video. Don't know if Bill is related to Derek Hatfield or not but he raced the "Spirit of Canada" in the "Around the World Alone"race several times. I had the pleasure of meeting him through our Power Squadron as he lived near us and spent his winters practicing in Lake Ontario. He...

With soft chines the semi displacement hull will rock more than the hard chined Cdory. Any pilothouse has more weight aloft especially one that extends the hard(walkable) roof over the cockpit but this is also one of the pluses to the Rossie. They do offer a "Wheelhouse" model with a short...
