Barry, I had the anchor shank straightened with a cold hydraulic press, according to the instructions from Wasi about 10 years ago. That gas solenoid valve is normally closed and an energised

Actually, hot bending does NOT work harden stainless steel. That is what happens when you bend it cold. Bending austenitic stainless steel and keeping full strength is a very fussy project.

Hi Captain Richard, Do you know how I could test if my straightened s/steel shaft could now be brittle. My new Delta 25kg is galvanized steel. Should I swap the Wasi and use the Delta as my

Hi Bill, The straightened shaft seems strong. I make sure it's dug in properly and have pulled on it very hard. Did you straighten yours with just a press? I doubt I will pull it from under a rock

Bill you're right about heating stainless steel. It work hardens the stainless and leaves it brittle. And don't hammer it either does the same thing. Also keep in mind that pound for pound steel

Barry, About 10 years ago, I also bent the Wasi stainless steel anchor shank. I also contacted Wasi and was told to straighten the shank using a "cold" press, no heat. I was told that heat will weaken

Gerhard, Let me try to help you via long distance, as best as I can: The Onan on BeBe has a Governor, Actuator Part Number 306-5006-01 which replaced old#151-0779-01 . This governor keeps the Onan

Hi all, My generator is not running properly for the last few days. It starts off fine for about 20 minutes and then revolusions go up and down in a wave pattern which gets worse and sounds like

Hi Jeff, I have limited internet until I connect to some plan in Italy. Will probably do a video on how I went about designing and making the Bimini, I have 6ft clearance under it. I bent my 30kg

Jeff, That is a very good decision. Amel switched to AGMs in the 55...well, they made a lot of changes with the 55 including the location of the batteries. I believe that none of us are 100% qualified

Hello Jeff, I kept with the regular flooded lead acid batteries after Olivier told me not to change anything as one change affected many other things. I probably have the same Dolphin chargers 30 amp

Hello Pat, Velox worked great for me for 1 year. But here in San Juan, it doesn't work... I don't think anything would work here. All my neighbors (and myself) have to clean the hull and propeller

Pat, I said, "I have used lots of different ideas on the prop. The best has been Velox." I did not say Velox worked in all situations. I said of the things I have used which are listed and rated in

Bill, If you say Velox is good , than I believe it to be true. Velox never responded to me ,when I asked this question,maybe you know. Is Velox not to be used in fresh water? I know some bottom paints

Hi Kent, Good to know you are being safe. I also use a 60’ hookah hose. But I use dive tanks for the air supply. We have a Bauer dive compressor aboard and can refill our own tanks. We

It's an oil less compressor, Mark, inline filter, and hose is safe. I got the info from a professional diver who, among other things like salvage, cleans boat bottoms. It's what he uses. Kent

Yes Joel they are the largest inFla and maybe to U S regard size and capacity. Lifting up to 300 tons and lots of dry storage. Great location they also use the name LMC. Fair Winds Smooth Sailing
