    Gary M liked post by Faster On thread : Cam cleat placement for jib sheets?

    Gary M liked post by mitiempo On thread : Decommissioning through hulls?
    Most mat is not compatible with epoxy. Biaxial roving is a good choice as would be heavier fiberglass cloth. As posted by others the epoxy only plug is not a very good method. The proper method is...

    Gary M liked post by PorFin On thread : Repower from volvo engine?
    Joy, An interesting question. Pull the h/x and take a close look at the innards. Just because something is "original" doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad; you can clean out any...

    Gary M liked post by RocketScience On thread : Winches
    If your drums are indeed stainless, you can have them masked-off, and the appropriate area sand blasted with a very course media. Any reputable sand blaster should be able to show you samples of the...

    Gary M liked post by jameswilson29 On thread : Beating to windward

    Gary M liked post by bljones On thread : Soft grounding, Do I need to Check?
