  1. Tracy, re the hull ground question.

     

    I have had considerable email correspondence with this member trying to get him to follow normal practice, and it is very hard work. He seems to ignore what suits him at the time.

     

    As far as I can tell, he has now bonded the domestic negative to the hull and/or the engine via the engine negative bond, so am happy with insulating the terminal he asked about. He says one of the wires does come from the domestic battery negative.

     

    All I don't know is if the engine is flexibly mounted, and if so does he have a bond between engine and hull.

     

    I agree that ideally he would get rid of that connection between cables and wire them as normal to a main bond point, but I fear that may be a bit beyond him at present.

      Never mind Tony, his exhaust and gear cable will ground it!!!!

  2. Sorry about this.

     

    Jen, this is really for all the Mods consideration.

     

    I received this PM from Journeyman 36 and believe it both deliberately threatening and insulting. It seems to me that it is contrary to the forum rules.

     

    I am happy to simply ignore it, but unless such behaviour is challenged, history shows it is likely to get worse.

     

    I do not believe I have posted anything that justifies this behaviour (look in the electric car topic where a number of members for confirmation of inflammatory claims and I responded to another poster who suggested this member has been very well known under at least two different identities. I do not believe in saying that people are likely to expect to meet inebriated idiots in bars, so hopefully the posts under discussion would not damage the forum was in any way insulting unless the member decided that he is in fact that idiot.

      Hello Tony,

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll take it up with the other mods and see about further action.

  3. Hi

    I may remember you if I saw you but probably not - far too many students over the years and now the memory is failing.

    I am pleased that you service your boat, that is what makes the courses worthwhile. I am well but with old mans knees and memory so have now given up the courses. Cheers
