    More Honda corrosion problems in my BF-200

    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...

    Most Pages Down?

    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...

    16 foot Jon Boat attempts the Great loop speed record.

    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

    Battery group size

    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

    Battery group size

    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...

    Adding 110 AC to Marinaut

    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...

    120V-15a (household) plug behind plastic cap in transom

    https://inverterservicecenter.com/produ ... ger-inlets If its a plug like this its usually something found on bass boats for their onboard charger. It is hard wired directly to the charger only and must never be wired to any other live source. A live male end is very dangerous and illegal. I...

    2002 Wallas

    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

    WHEN DO WE RETIRE FROM BOATING?

    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...

    Who do you belong to?

    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...

    Charging Dual Batteries

    Good advise and link Foggy. tight/clean/dry - as in bare metal to metal contact between post and cable connection. Never use dialectric compound on post or connector before attaching and torquing. It is designed specifically to resist the flow of electricity. In particular on low voltage/high...

    Who do you belong to?

    The Rosborough(RF246) is a 25' pilothouse similar in some respects to the Cdory. A lot of them can be seen doing the loop. They have an owners FB site you might find interesting. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/188857591155989 One of them just embarked on the loop couple of days ago...

    New to me Boat questions, round one

    The latches work excellent and a lot easier than others I have tried. They also put just the right amount of pressure on the seal. T.R. - compared to Coleman a few extra $ but yes compared to Yeti - competitively priced and probably as good. When I bought it I filled it with ice and it was...

    New to me Boat questions, round one

    I bought a Lifetime 55 cooler and am quite happy with it. They are very rugged albeit a bit heavy. Very well insulated and sealed. Made in the USA. Warranty claims they are grizzly proof for at least an hour. Not cheap - $250.00 CAD. Rob
