[Waxing a fiberglass boat below the waterline?]

Been wondering the same thing. Sounds like the below-waterline-waxers have it. Hard to imagine how it could slow you down much, if at all.

Well, i have been racing all my youth international sailing dinghies regattas, and for sure we were all waxing as often as we could to keep it smooth and fast. We may have all been wrong

[reviled for switching from THT]

I posted a very short note on THT saying that I was moving over here and now there are three pages of responses. The gist of all of them is something along the lines of, 'see ya a-hole'. This is exactly why I had to quit posting over there.

Hello from a split a-hole (still half on THT )

[Here's Something You Don't See Every Day...]

Lovely encounter

[Please Wish Forum Member Rich A Happy Birthday Tomorrow!]

Dear Sheila,

I am sorry that your husband turns 50.

HAPPY Birthday Rich

[Mega-Yachts 1]

I'll take any one of them thank you.......... :-)

Even their tender/launch or maybe life rafts are better than my boat

[Google You Sceen Name]

I have done the same, and feel pretty ashamed of some of my comments, but that is life. We all have been young....

Also funny to see how different my attitude from one forum/topic to another I can be.

For boating, biking, fishing, Ham radio, I am at a pretty low level so I keep quite a low profile. On the other hand, about fish breeding I know quite much more and enjoy sometimes to kick budds.

[Running At Night]

Black tape on the rail (not lovely looking though), and the spot is rather at the back of the cabin so that the roof acts for the rays not to reach the deck. Rather OK.

[Honda gen EU100i, How/where to fix/protect]

OK thanks,

Nice pedestal!

[Honda gen EU100i, How/where to fix/protect]

Thanks

OK noted for the rain.

I will see to make it a little canevas.

[Honda gen EU100i, How/where to fix/protect]

Get the 2000, we had the 1000, does not power much, the 2000 powers micro, DVD player etc , just my 2 cents !

Thanks Hulihan, however they are both 8 amps DC rated, and It will I think fully fit the bill.

I am very ###### on weight excess (except for my fat butt )

[Reel Boating Members Show Your Boats!]

This is the crap I bought $4,000: Nissan 23' from the 80's.

Dead transom, broken keel, full load of digested food.

This is part of the job done:

100 meters of fiber glass, some Kgs of teak lamination, some Kgs of epoxy (total 900 US), here it was before launching:

and now fully equipped, added folding radar pole, alu roof extension with crocket launchers, solar panel, and many more:

Pilot cabin is a bit low, engine is single yam 115 carb, but runs at nearly 30 kts. Has a 20 gallons live well. I love my boat like an ugly wife. Just don't know why.

[Honda gen EU100i, How/where to fix/protect]

Bly, do you mean you leave it running in the rain? It seems there is no rain protection for it. Even the sockets are flush mounted without cover.

Thanks both for the comments.

I do not plan to have it full time onboard. I plan to have it when staying full day at sea or night fishing with some projectors to ensure none tries to board me and grab my belongings.

I do not have a charger. I have never needed it as I have a solar panel to keep my batteries charged.

[Honda gen EU100i, How/where to fix/protect]

Hi All,

Lurking at the generator Honda EU1000i.

I saw pictures of pilot houses keeping it on the bow, others at the stern, or even on the roof.

My stresses are:

- CO fumes to the cabin;

- Protection from sea water sprays/rain.

I am thinking to mount it above the outboard on a specific rack (where I currently have the raft) or even making a pedestal on the OB cowling. I can ensure the strength.

Best would be at the stern, but it often happens that winds blows from stern to cabin.

What are your thoughts on the location? Anybody ever made an exhaust extension?

About sea spray (and rain), how would you protect it without getting electric shock, blocking the cooling or choking it with its own fumes?

Optional question: It delivers 8 amps at 12V. Can I connect directly to my batteries or do I need a regulator just as for solar panel? I would actually only need it for the 12V DC.

Thanks for your help

Pierre
