    As I mentioned earlier in this thread. For even pressure on the frame, pull up the rivets little by little by releasing the tool levers and removing to pull up another rivet a little, ''opposites'' until they snap off. Similar to tightening engine cylinder heads, bit by bit.

    All my windows, portholes, roof vents and prism are set on cheep clear silicone and pop riveted and nothing has leaked since it was all done in 1997. One gently pull pop rivets by giving gentle pulls, releasing, and re engaging the tool travelling around for even pull ups until they snap off.

    If you use an oven to bake pop a few in it at the same time. I sometimes do it.

    ''Casting off''. You were knitting instead of seeing to the water?😃

    Boats don't need a strong solution of antifreeze, they don't have the freezing wind blowing through them like a vehicles radiator does which can freeze before the thermostat opens. About 15 to 20 percent would be fine. And buy the concentrated kind to mix yourself with distilled water. The ready mixed stuff might have been brewed in Peckham at Nelson Mandela House with tap water. Use distilled or deiron ized water in the system.

    Emerging from top of a lock gates with lots of debris collected there you need to get speed up in the lock and coast through in neutral until clear of it using the rudder for some way often, and weed and debris elswhere too especially on rivers with a current running, unless you want a busted prop, dislodged rudder or lots of weed box visits to clear the prop unless you like all that then power through it all. I'll stick with my large plate rudder.

    The Waverley was moored on the Thames embankment for a while. In the early 1980's I nearly went on a cruise on it with Hastings Lil. It was doing round the coast cruises. We waited on Hastings pier for it but because of a strong swell in the channel it couldn't get alongside, bumped the pier a couple of times then steamed away. We went to the pub instead. ,

    It seems to be more of a problem in America probably cos they travel longer distances. Yes the 1 litre 3 cyl engine is the biggest problem. An engine of about 80hp boosted to about 120hp with a turbo. Fitted in quite big cars. Focus, Ecosport ect. Those little engines must be quite heavily stressed.

    The latest Ford Ecoboost engines now in various Fraud models have wet timing and oil pump drive belts ''RUNNING IN OIL!!!!. and some diesels too. The problem is wear fibre gunge from belts blocking the oil pump filter. Chains would be much much better running in oil but more expensive of course. I've recommended to a couple of folk with these engines to change there oil and filters every 3,000 mile

    EP140 is very thick known as Castrol High press use to be used in prewar car differentials. Smells of almonds. EP80-90 smells of cats pee.

    Reminds me of an old friend of mine that uses to stand in front of a mirror with his eyes closed trying to see what he looked like when asleep.

    What does white appear as then?

    Mix red and green makes brown, so red and green nav lights too close together a long distance away look brownish.

    What colours do colour blind folk see red and green as?

    If this throat plate is the half moon shaped thing held in by two nuts it needs to be removed, they're only for use in houses with much longer chimney's which give a stronger draw on the fire. Left in it will clog up the flue pipe.
