Re: Waterless coolant anybody?

Thanks everyone. I'd just never heard of such a thing. The brand I was looking at wasn't Evans, but Azure Marine coolant. They claims it prolongs engine life...

Waterless coolant anybody?

Hello
Does anyone have any experience of using waterless coolant. Apparently it doesn't vaporise and it's environmentally cleaner.

Re: Knife Attack in Las Palmas / Cannary Islands

Crime rates have been falling, that's for all sorts of crime, and you don't have to rely on government statistics alone. There are general surveys of whether people have been affected by crime that...

Coolant pressure test kit for Yanmar 3GM30F

Hello. Unfortunately I need to trace a coolant (freshwater) leak, and for that I bought a 'universal' pressure tester on eBay. All the kits on Ebay say 'universal' which means they include caps for a...

Re: Ways solo sail into slip safely

Agree this book is excellent. I used to use the method of a loop on a central cleat. But I learned a better method - you loop a line from an aft cleat, over to the central cleat and back to where...

You may be interested to learn that at the historic boat float in Dartmouth, boats may tilt their outboards, but are required to tie a bucket on them!

Re: steering system - chain and wire

Thank you all, so much. Yes, I plan to replace both chain and wires immediately. I'll check the wheel bearings at the same time. Maybe then able to do some gentle manoeuvring in the river before...

steering system - chain and wire

Hello all. Apparently the steering system's chain and wire should be replaced every 10 years, but I've not had a boat that long. My chain definitely needs replacing (don't you think!), but the wires...
