15 - 20 year old resin... Still good?

When going through my shop the other day, I came across a 2-gallon kit of West System epoxy (apparently they used to make a 1:1 ratio mix!). I'm almost certain it dates back to before we moved out of...

Re: Coax cable for long run up mast

Thanks, Dockhead. Based on your recommendations, I think I'm going to look for a 50 ft length of RG-58 with pre crimped or soldered connectors.

Re: Coax cable for long run up mast

Thanks guys! $1.03 a foot is great. I'll give them a call when I get off work.

I was planning on running the cable along the front of the mast, as my channel for cables is full, so white is...

Re: Perkins 4.236 v-belt/alternator issues

Re: Perkins 4.236 v-belt/alternator issues

Thanks guys! Yeah, there is probably an underlying issue here... The previous owner said the pulleys on the alternator and crank shaft are for different belt types. He also has a bracket connected to...

Perkins 4.236 v-belt/alternator issues

I recently purchased a 42' 1959 Stonington motorsailer, powered with a Perkins 4.236 engine. The engine itself is fantastic, however I can't seem to keep the belt properly tensioned. I'm having to...
