Re: Who is using an electric blanket?

Thanks for the clarification, Bill. I figured it was something along those lines. I've opened up a couple of the old style controls for heating pads that had malfunctioned to repair them, (you know,...

Wink Re: Who is using an electric blanket?

How do you know? ;)



I'm not 100 percent sure what you mean by an "electronic control", (mine has a button that you can press three times for increasing heat, so I guess that qualifies). You're...

Re: Who is using an electric blanket?

Quite so, Chotu. It's an el cheapo inverter that I bought for my van at a tire store for a few bucks. At the time, I didn't know the difference. It powered what I needed to power.


Regards,

Re: Who is using an electric blanket?

Chotu,


Glad it works for you. I use similar Sunbeam products at home, but the manual warns not to use it with an inverter, power bar, or extension cord. I tried it with my inverter and sure...

Re: Do transducers break down ?

Yes, I've had a transducer go bad. Replaced it, problem solved. I believe it was a Datamarine, but it was 25 years ago, and I can't be sure.

Re: OSMOSIS - Do all boats get it? Or just a few?

Redreuben,


A broker explained the ortho/iso difference to me several decades ago, but I couldn't remember the specifics. Thanks for the refresher.

Re: Anchoring etiquette

Reading this thread brings to mind an odd situation I encountered back in the '90s. There was a boat (made by a manufacturer favored by first time buyers) anchored in an anchorage, and we tucked into...

Re: Need to abandon crew

I found myself on the other side of this coin, twice, with skippers who turned out to be incompetent. When the situations got dangerous, I bailed. I never even dreamed of asking either of these two...

Re: My yacht is impounded

Once upon a time, I went over to a neighbor's house to invite him and his kids out on our boat. The place was full of marijuana smoke. I turned around and left.

In praise of twin engines/Toronto the good

I didn't know where to put this post, so I put it in the of-topic forum.

Yesterday, the admiral and I went down to the Lake Ontario lakefront, to enjoy the iffy weather. As we were waddling around...

Re: How much could be the fair price of this Albin Vega?

I wonder how many (if any) of those cut up boats were salvageable.

Re: Struggling to understand the rule of thumb for boat depreciation

It makes me wonder what causes these market swings. In 1993 (a depressed market), I saw a 1986 Monk 36 (Taiwan trawler) listed in GAM for $125,000. This type of boat was at that point in time my...

Re: advice: sailing/navigation experience and finding community

If only it were that simple. Even if someone lives off the interest only, and not reducing the capital amount, that capital amount probably will not be enough to "swallow the anchor", and return to...

Re: Why so few catamarans in the Great Lakes?

Funny, you should say that. I can remember back in the '70s, when your type of boat was very popular in Ontario, especially the Trojan Tri-cabin equivalent. I suspect the fact that it was free of any...

And Colin wants to cross an ocean with this? I sincerely wish him well. Then again, I was skeptical about the Expedition Evans, and they seem to have nailed that boat back together well. I stand in...

Re: Broken Lagoon

I've watched the Parlay Revival videos from the beginning. I was impressed with the work they did on the hulls, and was dismayed when he discovered the bulkhead damage. Exactly how this can be easily...

Exactly. But the telcos and utilties keep wanting a bigger slice of a pie that isn't getting any bigger. The last time I complained to a telco about a sharp increase in rates, the response was,...

Re: Luxury Tax Redux

Some of the posters talked about "paying a little more". Well, here's a little more for you:
