I never do any silicone work anymore without

Pat and Ian, that might be a workable idea, but it would be a lot of work. Getting the masking tape right to paint the edges (to cover the sealant) was a huge job, and this would be the same

Hello everyone in the Group I have a Furuno AIS Receiver (passive) and I'd like to upgrade to a Transceiver (active). Now since I plan to go to Raymarine Electronics sometimes in the Future

Ryan, If you want to use the butyl tape, just get some longer screws, pins or even some drill bits that fit the holes in your window panels. Next locate a few corner holes in your frame. Insert

You could try fitting the windows and then stick masking tape round the edges on the front. Then if the sealant does squeeze out it will peel off on the masking tape. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

Ryan, Why don't you position the window then apply tape around the window so that any sealant that squeezes out will not get onto the window. Pat SM#123

Hi Thomas and Bill, I had the same problem, measured the current over the indicatorlight, disconnected all wires (negativ and positiv) of all equipment in contact with salt/waterpumps. I could not

Hi all, I'm replacing my dodger windows. I've had the acrylic fabricated, I've painted the edges, I've filled and drilled the screw holes... The only thing I'm missing is the sealant. I had intended

Interesting. This Amel-made bonding system check device is simple and masterfully accurate. The type of thing the you expect from Amel...very Amelish. I wonder if what you describe could be caused by

Hi everyone, Our DC leakage detector is showing a leak on the negative. I investigated any AC charger + DC USB potential issue as mentioned previously on the group and didn't find any culprit.

Not on the boat right now. but does anyone know the size of the ball bearing size of the Antal boom car/traveler. I need to replace mine.

Bill, I take it from what you wrote, that a halyard with an eye spliced in can pass up the mast and over the forward sheave ,in which case I will have an eye put in on both ends of the new

Ian, That is a good point about adding enough length to hoist a dinghy, and it sounds like an eye in both ends would be good for the shackle. I wonder now if an eye in a 7/16 " halyard would fit

Hello Bill R., Jeff, Eric, Bill K., A mechanic came by. Without my prompting, he did the test of loosening the fuel lines to each cylinder one by one. With each one, the engine roughened up, then

Pat I have a captive shackle on both ends. That’s how it was when I got the boat, although I have seen it in the recent pass that you only need the shackle on on end. The shackle retaining pin

Pat, Mine has a loop sliced on one end, and a key shackle spliced on the on the other. The sliced loop is a bit too large to fit over the "hook" on the mouse so it has a secondary loop of small

The previous owner apparently did not use the ballooner much and I have not either. I would like to replace the halyard for the ballooner and was wondering if I should have a eye spliced in one end ?

Very good point, Jeff. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School www.amelschool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

I'll second Jeffrey's suggestion. It's an inexpensive check to remove the transmission oil cooler, take it to a radiator shop and have it cleaned and pressure tested. It's a maintenance item that
