I like using Rescue Tape. http://www.rescuetape.com/ No sticky residue (only sticks to itself) and comes in a variety of colors — I use green on starboard and red on port. All the best, Edd --- Edd M. Schillay Captain of the Starship Enterprise C 37+ |

Used the last of my 3M Marine Rigging Tape today wrapping the pins on the shrouds. I've always used the 3M tape and found it to be fairly reliable and long lasting. Before I order more, does anybody use a rigging tape that is incredibly better than the 3M tape? (Please don't mention the West

I work with solenoid valves quite a bit at work and can tell you that it is very common for them to be hot to touch when energized. You might be able to find an aluminum heat sink if it really concerns you. I googled the auto ignition temperature of propane and it is 851° F, so 170° isn't even

It took me a while, but I eventually ordered an Isotherm SPA unit. It is more expensive, but it comes with the temperature regulation valve and it is stainless throughout. Thanks, Dennis, for the suggestion. Thanks Marek Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Original message

Hi Russ, There is an unknown number of inches of air now “trapped” in the system but would estimate at least 12” if not more based on the height of the fuel level in the tank [and therefore within the pickup tube] plus the fitting on top of the tank and whatever length of hose fuel

Hello all, I did a propane leak-down test recently, and in addition to replacing the pigtail from a relatively new regulator to the tank, I decided to replace the hose to the solenoid, and the solenoid itself (the old one was functioning but was quite rusty). After replacing the solenoid, on

I removed my chainplates this winter and was relieved to find no core material. All solid. Yes the flange prevents making an easy fix, you do have to remove the chainplate to get at the material to be removed. On mine, the leaks were more of an issue with the bolts, not the plate. Still haven't

Hi Brian, From your description posted a while ago, you do not have a system full of air. Nor do you have a filter full of air. You have at most a few inches of air in the tank pick-up & hose rune. Is this still the case? Isn't this Yanmar a self-bleeding version once it's running? BTW,
