+1 And practice, practice, practice.
I used Yacht Manager on the last yacht I ran. The yacht had a paper maintenance logbook, and it was a mess. Pretty much like a teenager's diary....
It appears that you have the Centaflex A design, Type 3 [ATTACH] which has only rubber where the attachments are made. I was assuming that these...
Could it be that the bolts holding the coupling are too long? It looks as if there is little meat for the bolts to hold onto in the base of the...
Without re-reading the whole thread; if I remember correctly it is only an external oil leak, and no breach from coolant to oil or vice-versa....
With 800 hours, times 60 minutes per, times any arbitrary engine speed, let's say 1200 rpm= 57,600,000 revolutions, then divide by 2 (4 strokes =...
Angle torque, as specified by MTU brings the tension on a bolt to a specified level by first torquing to a known value and then turning the bolt a...
As Pascal mentions; the corrosion may be on the inside. I've been on exactly 1 yacht that had the ability to drain off the very bottom of the...
It's a real testament to the Loctite on the bolts. For one bolt to break, and the coupling being loose as shown in the video, I'm wondering if...
More research would be a good idea. As I recall, early attempts at replacing glass fiber with kevlar were problematic as the resins didn't adhere...
Where is the AP pump? You differentiate between that and the engine driven hydraulic steering pump. If the AP pump is anywhere near the helm,...
The bolt that won't go down tight may be damaged, but it could also be that the threads run out before any clamping pressure is achieved. The...
Almost anyone could do it on a flat, clean surface. The stuff is forgiving, too. I screwed up doing compound curves on my mirrors more than once....
Well, you're in there anyway :) The wrap comes in matte black, so you can pretty much use any flat surface material. There could be a fade factor...
Great idea, CaboFly! I've wrapped my car's outside rear view mirror with that exact 3M material. Beau, It's easy to change the appearance of many...
Try one of the other bolts in that hole and torque it to specs for the type and size bolt to be sure the hole isn't stripped. If that goes ok,...
One problem is that all viruses mutate continuously, and there are different successful strains in other parts of the world. South Africa, for...
There doesn't seem to be a trade name that defines the product, like King's Starboard is the descriptor for all products like it, Xerox defines...
Whoops! Thanks, I glossed over that when I checked the profile :oops:
Are there any flexible hoses in the steering plumbing? That helps to break the sound transmission path. Also, have a closer look under the helm...
