Stus-List Sailing book for a winter's read

2013-11-26 Thread Chuck S
Jack, Your idea to suggest a book is a good one for this list and this time of year. Hopefully others will make suggestions? A sailing book I enjoyed and would recommend is: The Boat Who Wouldn't Float , by Farley Mowat, 1969. A funny story about a guy buying a dilapidated wooden schooner

Stus-List Wheel Wraps

2013-11-26 Thread Jim Reinardy
One of my planned winter projects this year is a leather wrap for the wheel on Firewater. The bare stainless gets a bit cold on both ends of the season around here. This raises a few questions of people who might have done it before. First, does anyone have experience with boatleather.com or

Can't help on removing the wheel but boat leather is a good outfit. Have bought several items from them. Covering the wheel is not difficult but takes some force to keep it tight, especially if you go with foam under it. A great winter project. John Sent from my iPad On Nov 26, 2013, at

Welcome, is that Mithrandir that's now down at Oak Bay Marina? If so, I believe we were out on the hard up in Sidney back in the summer together. I spent a very enjoyable week working with copious amounts of acetone and wielding a buffer. Wait, did I say enjoyable? Cheers, Paul Orange

I understand the need to get the temperature up in order to get the old oil out, but why do I need to run it up to temp with the new oil? I have just been turning the engine over for a minute or less to get the oil circulated. (Engine block is still warm- but certainly not up to temp --

Hi Joanne, I don't recall anyone offering the simple solution... take the prop to the local prop shop. They will have a gauge that can read the pitch of your prop. Bear in mind that is only a starting point if you are not replacing in kind. I don't know about the urethane perfect pitch
