Re: Any tips for removing Kiwi Grip ?

The only thing I can add is the the Canadian Coast Guard does not accept a composting head as a marine sanitation device.

Re: Crewman available in West Michigan area

You might have better luck joining a local yacht club. You don't need a boat to join and someone is always looking for crew.

Re: Advice on head replacement

Did nobody suggest first trying to clean the original valve before chucking everything?
Muriatic acid outdoors with glasses and rubber gloves. Give it a go.

Re: 2 head, single hand, bluewater cruisers?

I think there is another way of looking at the requirements for single-handing and that is the maximum sale area you feel comfortable sailing with. For me, that's about 300 square feet. Beyond this,...

Re: Coppercoat after 6 months away

Does anyone know if it is possible to filter out posts not mentioning Coppercoat? I find this thread has too much crap not related to the OP's topic.

Re: Exuma Cays – How Commonly Two Anchors are Used

Not really too sure where to start here but perhaps with the name would be best. A Bahamian Mooring doesn't really have anything to do with the Bahamas, its just a name, not unlike the drink –...

Re: Lithium Powered Windlass

I think we may be looking at different battery packs. What I was looking into was something a bit more substantial than one that fits in your pocket. There wasn't a whole lot in the way of specs on...

Re: Day tank only for diesel Dickinson?

It's been a while but if I recall from my installation the first thing is to get the flue operating well; it'll pay off big in the end. A minimum flue length of 4 feet (there is a maximum but I don't...

Re: Day tank only for diesel Dickinson?

I've done a number of years as a Winter liveaboard in Toronto and used a Dickinson stove (a really good stove by the way). I ran with a day tank pumped from the main tank via a Y valve. For a day...
