Once it has started to squeal, the inside of the "V" has been glazed and tensioning the belt is not a viable option. Replacement is quite easy on most engines. Gary S/V Expresso 75' C&C 35 Mk II East Greenwich, RI, USA Sent from my iPhone. ~~~_/)~~~ > On Aug 5, 2014, at 3:32 PM, Barbara Hicks

I will be talking to my machine shop friend this weekend about a quote to use the same 3D model to machine the nameplates out of stainless steel. I haven't ruled out the idea of adding the "+", "Plus" or "/40 to the nameplates. The way the model is built, adding or changing text is pretty stra

I might add the acrylic plates will be more durable than the original because the letter are integral rather than glued on. The UV resistance might be a little better after 25 years, as well. I'm sure there will be a significant cost difference vs. stainless steel. Gary Sent from my iPhone.

Chuck, Does your nameplate have an "R" on it? I can't see any evidence that mine had a "+" on it. I will check the dimensions on the sword. Thanks, Gary Sent from my iPhone. ~~~_/)~~~ > On Jan 6, 2016, at 12:01 AM, Chuck S via CnC-List > wrote: > > Nice image. Since you asked, the sw

If you are talking Nexus, I think I know the problem. Mine would spin freely when I removed it but wouldn't work when installed. The problem is growth on the inside of the bushing that is not pushed out when the knot meter is installed. The paddle wheel is only slightly smaller than the bushi

Re: Stus-List Batteries -- Anyone use 6V's?

I use 4 6 volt golf cart batteries on Expresso for the house (2 in series / the pairs wired in parallel). They usually last me 9 or 10 years. It's a good solution. I use a 12 volt battery for the start battery. I use a battery combiner to charge them. Gary S/V Expresso Sent from my iPhone
