They aren't cheap..... but they're the best.

I buy from them all the time.

Hi all🙋‍♂️ I'm a little intimidated going from a single outboard to dual inboards and separate controls for throttle/trans. Can anyone explain the control setup on this bertram below? Is it single lever throttle/trans for each engine or is the idle controlled elsewhere? Thanks, Dan You won't believ...

What you're doing will work fine. I wouldn't wait longer than three days between coats without sanding, but inside of three days is fine.

Boat builders spray plenty of polyester on Fridays and don't apply the next layup until Monday.

mike ohlstein

Hot and humid as it is you probably have a few days, but the basic rule is 24 hours for a chemical polyester bond without any further prep. Epoxy is much different, but with polyester you have time.

Gelcoat, glass..... samey same.

I looked at a Debonair but it didn't pass inspection.

I'm not a fan of the V tails.

But a C model might interest me......

Single Lycoming IO-540 260HP I'm doing away with the vacuum systems, so yes.... primary. The unit will be pretty much in my sight line, but there is a remote enunciator that goes right in front of your eyes and flashes a red warning at you if an alarm trips. But I will surely follow your advice on c...

You should go see Targeted Spices. Look up Kip Creed on this site and PM him.

Bob, Frankly if it wasn't for an engine monitor which alerted me, it would have been a very ugly situation. I added a visual light and horn to the engine monitor which now alerts me once the alarm presets are reached and Always secure cargo in a plane! I just purchased an EDM-900 and will be instal...

If you have counter rotating engines, you have two different transmissions that are running 'in sync'. If you have two engines that spin the same way, then you have two identical transmissions. One is running in reverse while the other is running forward. There are two things that happen. One is tha...

My 11 year old Standard still works great, and spare batteries are still available (even though the unit itself was discontinued years ago). Just a side note..... since I started to fly, I picked up a handheld Airband radio (Icom IC-A25N VHF Airband Transceiver) to keep in the airplane in case of ca...

DISCONNECT your shore power cord!!! Like NOW.

Then get a guy with a proper meter who knows how to use it.

I ran heat to the bridge from the bus heater. The heater itself was mounted in the head, under the sink. Two 2" holes in the bulkhead for coolant hoses. It had three vents. One ran behind the galley and into the berth. One ran into the space behind the fridge and vented into the cabin. The other ran...

I bought a Marine Installation kit from Espar which included marine exhaust pipe, marine grade fuel line, a hull fitting for the exhaust, stainless brackets, and perhaps a more robust fuel pump. Intake is no problem, and I already had the warm air distribution plumbed in from the original bus heater...

mike ohlstein

Those look just like the Espar / Webesto units, but at 1/6 the price. I have no idea what the quality or safety will be....

I can tell you that I have Espar units in my Van and my Boat and I sleep in both. No fear.

Sounds like someone had crash valves, and Rube Goldberg Plumbing didn't understand what he was looking at and 'fixed' it.

I use the same one. The loops just loop over. There's a stanchion that keeps the ladder a few inches from the gunwale.

I used to have a rope ladder. Takes up no space at all. Will break your toes if you let it.....

Yes...... sorry.

1968 boats has the smaller, 177 (?) gallon fuel tank. 1972 and later boats have 220 to 230 gallon tanks. Everything is build by hand, so they're all slightly different. Mine says it's 231.

I just started flying in July or August. Right when NY allowed business to reopen. I liked it so much that I bought a high power, complex aircraft. It's a bit of a handful for a student, but I like the challenge.

Trey is around. He says he hasn't flown in over a year, but still has his Mooney.

mike ohlstein

You're right. I was constantly changing lenses and I had nothing to clean the sensors with. (I have a cleaning kit now) I looked for one in a WalMart somewhere, but I never found myself in a town with a real camera shop. Live and learn..... I spent most of the three weeks in my van. I stayed in hote...

I was out there in October. Great time of year. No buses or motorhomes. Mostly just people taking pictures. Lots of wildlife photographers looking for wolves. It was fabulous.

mike ohlstein

Got in my van and started driving. Stayed out for 3 weeks. Here are a few pictures.

Best bet is to upload it to youtube and then post a link here. Dropbox is another option.

I took a trip out west in October. In Cody Wyoming, I had an injector stick open.

I've watched a load of those videos too.

It seems that not one of those guys understands how a VHF antenna functions. Truly unbelievable.

mike ohlstein

Exactly. Like I mentioned earlier, I went with Espar, but Webasto is the same thing. Both companies make gas versions of their heater, but I would go diesel. They each burn about a gallon in 24 hours of use. Put in a 3 gallon diesel tank and fill it once a year. I installed mine under the starboard ...

I did this years ago. I put the heat exchanger / fan unit in the head, under the sink. I ran flexible duct behind the fridge. One vent goes to the V-berth. One opens in the cabin, just forward of the head. The third connects to 4" pvc pipe that runs up to the bridge and then out just below the helm....

I don't like roller coasters either, but I think it's because I'm not driving.

Nice. I'm going to take a few lessons from a guy with a Pitts biplane. Seven G's + and 5 G's -

Crazy.

Big turbo, big injectors, additional fuel pump, straight through exhaust, and some plumbing.

Oh, and a transmission that can handle it.

U-joints.....

Not mine, but I do have two F250's with 7.3's and two E350 diesel vans (though one is a 6.0). The 2001 F250 came from the factory with forged rods, so now that one makes 600HP. The biggest problem with them up here is rust. From the look of them, you would think that Ford was in Arizona and never he...
