Re: 3M Marine high strength Repair Filler & hardware thru deck

8,000 lb safe working load and they'll have soft shackles to blocks that will do practically a 180 for spinnaker sheets. Don't expect to ever see anywhere near that much force on them, but too...

Re: 3M Marine high strength Repair Filler & hardware thru deck

Didn't know that about G10, just heard it was very strong and stiff. There is so much more to "fiberglass" than we realized.



Our understanding for this application is as follows:

Re: 3M Marine high strength Repair Filler & hardware thru deck

Correction noted, and proving our need for help. LOL

Have you used it?
Do you have an opinion on its strength or appropriateness to these tasks?

Re: What's your AWG from Alt to Battery & Engine to Ground?

Oh, and there is this chart, which the boat builders seem to ignore when it suits them.

Re: What connector to crimp on wire for Simrad AC42 Autopilot wires?

That was the trick. Typing "5.08mm block" into eBay gave me a ton of quick delivery options.

Thanks

Re: What connector to crimp on wire for Simrad AC42 Autopilot wires?

Found that manual and there was no mention of it. It seems these connectors are two parts, so that the wires can be attached to a block, then the block inserted into the matching piece on the circuit...
