No not in the least.

about me- Thanks for clarification and info about silicone in marine. I do not own a boat myself, just prefer to ride on family and friends, I'm called naive in nautical circles sometimes... others call me smart... I love fishing. I just got to this forum randomly when I was helping my buddy...

Hi - just a few comments from engineering perspective; In this case of simple seat bench box gravity drain, the choice of fitting material or any fitting at all is almost 100% aesthetic and personal preference. In many sail boats these type drains are just clean thru holes with no fittings at...

I posted a reply earlier but do not see it, so you f this is redundant pls disregard. Whole structure seems pretty solid from what you are saying and demonstrating. If you are worried or just want peace of mind, then; Obviously hitting stringers would be ideal, but a fishing expedition at...

Hi. Looks pretty sweet. Great job. Sounds like your pilothouse- console connection is pretty solid. Can you please remind me, how is your console attached to your deck currently? And do you know how thick the deck is? If I remember correctly, the lower console has a flange about 1-1/2 inches...

My two cents for what it's worth. Hard to know what the loads are vibrations or why that's loosening up, but it seems to me the real issue is that those are probably 3/ 16-in thick and there's not really enough bite. Normally you want at least one diameter's worth of decent thread engagement...

Seems like your getting there. Couple thoughts: I looked at Garmin power and data cables and they seem to be about maybe 3/8 dia. Each. If it were my ship, I'd just run the cables down the inside of the radome through your two exterior elevation plates and then 90 bend and through a channel in...

Hi. I'm in germany returning Sunday. What is the diameter of the radar coax cable, and what is your plan. ? 27 inch , means actual span is like 20 inch inside to inside. So strength not going to be a big deal at all, can go thinner. Do not torque the flats. If bolted flat to the flat, at 4...

Nice, brand spanking new.sweet. Let me know if you want more specific suggestions. Alot depends on your detailed info. Aesthetics equip. Color scheme etc. I assume the second picture showing the trees is from the cockpit looking forward off the bow. It's hard to be sure, but from what I can...

Westerly, sorry for the derail. Post some pics or lmk if It can help in any way. MB

Nice work on that house. I'm sure you'll figure something out. I'd definitely ask around and do some research on the net. I just hit " diy boat building best attach pilot house console" and a raft of stuff came up. How is it done typically? My guess is that the highest applied loads are...

One more general rule about tapped threads. A. Strength depends on the property of the material. Aluminum is quite soft and notorious for loose threads especially when using sst hardware. Generally you need at least one diameters worth of thread depth. So if you have a 3/8 diameter bolt...

Hi. I'm mech engineer.Just finished similar project for a friend's electronics upgrade on a cc dv t top. No idea if following helps or not. You can build this any way that works for your combo of equip. and existing layout of cross bars of your roof- just need to think it through structurally...

Hi. Yes disheartening. Have you figured out anything further? Is there any chance it's not the tank itself? Reason I ask is that my friend has a deep v cc, I forget the year. He replaced tank and lines maybe 2-3 years ago as part of a major overhaul. Then kept his boat drydocked mostly since...
