Thanks for the velcro idea but I think that the Hawaii suggestion is much better.

Dreft is a mild detergent used for baby clothes. It might be a southern
thing.

I believe that the cheaper brand would be Oxy Clean. I use that mixed with
some dreft laundry detergent in a kiddy pool and a low power pressure
washer. First I get in and do my Lucy stomping the grapes imitation then
hit the bad spots with the pressure washer from a safe distance. My sails
are the 30 year factory original saggy but clean till the dirt dobbers get
to them.Linus

Could you post the file so we can take it to a local sign shop to have it produced. That might make logistics easier.

This was one of the questions when I asked Marcus at Trans Atlantic Diesel I just didn’t like the response. He said that any of the Dex cool products would be OK. When I did some research on Dex cool it apparently turns to Jell-O if it is mixed with anything other than distilled water. When I asked if that was what was in the system when he sold I to me he replied that I should flush the system because he couldn’t guarantee what was in the engine when it was shipped. So I called Cummins and the only coolant they would recommend is their premixed coolant. It is not too expensive and I decided to go with that just to be safe.
Just be careful not to mix different types, although there are some on the market that say they can be mixed. Seems like I remember a time when you just put in antifreeze green of course.Linus

Thanks for the picture. Looks like the same splice mine is just longer.

I don’t know of a name other than a chain to rope splice. I just followed the instructions on the samson web site. I just added the taper as suggested by a friend. I think my problem is I’ve been working on the boat and not using it. I am a little paranoid of everything being new and I am a rookie again.

I used a Victron multi plus. It was a little more cost wise but it made use of the Honda generator easy. This is copied from the manual also it has a remote that lets me set the max amps that the charger will use.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator or shore side power (Multi/MultiPlus
only)
The Multi is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the
generator or shore side supply (nearly 10 A per Multi at 230 VAC). With the Phoenix Multi
Control Panel (PMC) a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multi will then
take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the
generator or shore supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
The feature that distinguishes the Phoenix MultiPlus from the standard Multi is PowerAssist.
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the MultiPlus
to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required
only for a limited period, it is possible to reduce the size of generator needed or conversely
enable more to be achieved from the typically limited shore connection. When the load
reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Note: minimum shore current 4 A or generator capacity 2,5 kW required per
MultiPlus.I have used it for the air conditioner that draws 20 or so amps at start up and it switches from charging to inverter to make up for the small generator and jumps back to charger when the load from the AC drops once the compressor is running.

It’s been two years. I have starboard that is used as a shim on my skiff for the trolling motor that has been there for 6 or 7 years that shows no signs of deteriorating. My new Parker has all the locker doors made of starboard. I don’t see it as a problem and if I have to replace it in 10 years it will be cheaper than the teak, ceatol and time to maintain would add up to. I have three 1 x 1/4″ stainless flat bars welded across under the starboard so it really serves as a shim for the roller bracket. All the bolts go through the stainless.

I was referring to the load experienced while hauling up the anchor. That is when I assumed the bending had occurred on the other boats.

I had seen several of the, I assume factory installed, anchor platforms that had been bent so I built mine with a support. I got stainless pipe from the local welding shop and had it bent a Midas muffler. It is still a work in progress I would like to add a Ronca hanging with the roller in the platform so both anchors would have room. Here’s a picture. I am about 350 and I can dance on it and it doesn’t move. I hope the anchor load won’t exceed that by much, though I know that it’s possible.
