How to orientate the split pin at the end of prop shaft.
Tonka replied to Gybe Ho's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
Well I wouldn't fly with you because you are wrong. If you look at the split pin where it exits the hole in the nut it is deformed and the split are not next to each other flat bit to flat bit, but look as though they are one on top of the other. Which suggests to me that the pin has been used before and the hole is too big. Get your CAIP part 1 out and have a look -
Isn't the max speed of a boat deduced by the length of the water line because they can only do so many wave lengths which I can't remember. But it is why a 70ft boat can go faster then a 60ft boat. The answer to the op is they went that fast that they flew

Drill and tap. Then put a bolt in. Then cut the head off. Best to do before you repaint the roof because you don't want to scratch your new paint work

Well he wasn't the first one on here and unfortunately probably won't be the last

That's the International Eisteddfod but ain't there things on at the weekends. Got a feeling Texas the band did a show there this weekend

I can't remember who owns the towpath there but I remember Don Bridgeman the old District Inspector discussing them with me and mentioned about the person who used to have his bonfire on the towpath. I do remember the houses at Laleham don't own the towpath even though they appear that they do. He gave me permission to use them at my leisure

You are correct about the West Epoxy system. They manufacture a cleaner which you use to get rid of the waxy bit if you putting another patch over a previous patch. Used it often when repairing daughters slalom kayak

It would appear to me that the op has bought a boat. Paid for a reputable surveyor which he has not named. The hull was not gritblasted for the survey so how does the surveyor know the depth of the pits? What is the condition of the weld seams? But he tells the purchasing person "don't worry about the rusty bits, just bitumen them " There is an old expression states someone and their money are easily parted.

In No. 4 District of the Thames there are a couple of small sections where the houses own the towpath. A section in Molesey just before the reservoir and a section just before Penton Hook lock. The towpath downstream of Sunbury lock was found to be unregistered which is why the boats are settling themselves in and trying to claim the land

Why would you bodge it by putting bitumen over epoxy. Do the job properly.

So it won't be open until he gets back from Braunston. Don't think it will last long if he can't be bothered to advertise these things himself.

Came through today and no sign of life. I am assuming it is still going to be In the old mill house where the old shop was

So is it reopening at Audlem?
-
Why on earth would anyone in their right mind have their boat gritblasted then put bitumen on

Where is your proof that epoxy over epoxy doesn't work
