  10. Changing engine oil I usually carry out this simple routine on the waste oil Look at oil colour and also that it’s not too thick Smell the oil to see no fuel or antifreeze has got in Feel the oil to see if there is any grit like material or metal pieces in it If everything looks and feels right and engine is running ok why added more cost

    Ballast

    taken from one of my old army notebooks metacentre, also spelled metacenter, in fluid mechanics, the theoretical point at which an imaginary vertical line through the centre of buoyancy intersects another imaginary vertical line through a new centre of buoyancy created when the body is displaced, or tipped, in the water, however little. The centre of buoyancy of a floating body is the point about which all the body parts exactly buoy each other, in other words, the effective centre of the displaced water. The metacentre remains directly above the centre of buoyancy regardless of the tilt of a floating body, such as a ship. When at rest on even keel, the vessel’s centre of buoyancy is directly below the centre of gravity as well as below the metacentre. (The centre of gravity is the point in a body about which all parts of the body balance each other.) When a vessel tilts, one side displaces more water than does the other, and the centre of buoyancy moves and is no longer directly under the centre of gravity; but regardless of the amount of the tilt, the centre of buoyancy remains directly below the metacentre. If the metacentre is above the centre of gravity, buoyancy restores stability when the ship tilts. The stability increases with the distance between metacentre and centre of gravity, called the metacentric height. If the metacentre is below the centre of gravity, the boat is unstable, and a tilt results in capsizing. hope this helps ???????????????????????????????????
