I did exactly that a couple years when I went in early. Normally I wouldn't want to use the water out of the marina because it's all silty and dirty, but early in the season it's crystal clear. You could see all the crap at the bottom of the wells and some were 10-12ft deep (I even fished...

You might want to re-look at removing the appliances. They HAVE to be able to come out, as they would need to if they ever went bad and needed to be replaced. I have a hard time imagining that they couldn't come out without just a little work. Usually the hard part is getting them out of...

I stumbled on this thread and now I'm just curious if you solved the problem or ended up finding a replacement. I have "no dog in this fight", but I'm just curious. (and if you did end up solving it, posting a solution might help others caught in the same dilemma)

If you have trouble finding replacements and the originals are in good shape but just yellowed, there is a procedure to brighten them back up. You can look up Retrobright online and see what folks have been doing with it. Here's a (rather long) video where a guy does a review and gives some...

Does that apply to all vessels? Around here there are a lot of "no wake" zones, but they don't apply to commercial vessels. You'll get tagged for violating a "no wake" and causing maybe a 1' wake with a 30ft boat, while you're being passed by a 800-1000 ft ship going at 10kts pushing a...

The EVERGIVEN is a much larger ship and was going faster than this one when it was stopped dead by ~75 ft of sand. o_O

At 6:03 in that video, you can see two vehicles on the bridge, travelling westbound (right to left). They are right past the bridge support that the ship hit. At about the same time, the ship lurches to port and the lights from the two vehicles disappear, as if they might have been jostled and...

Before they put that last section or two in, they should arrange somebody like Travis Pastrana or Levi Lavallee to jump the gap!

Well, you can but I wouldn't!!

Their big mistake was not necessarily the design, it was reusing the sub for multiple dives. The Apollo Command Modules and the Lunar Modules had 100% perfect service records on their flights to the moon, but NONE of them were reused. What do you think their record would have been if they...

And it's that statement that makes this a "divide by zero here" problem and ends the test. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

That's a different question/riddle than the OP. This one says "...a giant treadmill that can move in the opposite direction..", whereas the original stated ""The belt conveyor is designed to match the speed of the wheels""

Yes, the pods move around and shift gears but that's not a function of the pods, it's a function of the position-holding feature. It would be the same if you have AXIUS with outboards or outdrives. And on docking, it's a function of the skipper rather than the pods. If the skipper is...

Once they're EMPTY of water, the grease will fill the cavity so that it won't refill with water. Or at least won't fill any significant amount with water. If you're not going to fill them with grease, then you should operate them from one extreme to the other when out of the water, or when...

I'll beg to differ on that one. National pipeline companies don't run Ethanol or Ethanol-based fuels through their pipelines because of all the corrosive effects. There are newer pipelines that are intended for Ethanol but they are pretty rare. I also mostly used air to blow out the...
