In exactly the same way. From cold start, water passes through the bypass and out through the exhaust via the elbow. Once the engine is...

I have used inner sleeves when fitting compression fittings to plastic pipe but never with copper. I have fitted many to copper without...

Could be worth considering painting the prop. This reduces the area of the cathode and thus the anode does not work so hard. My prop...

Unfortunately regalvanising has become so expensive due to fuel and zinc spiralling costs that it is now barely cheaper than buying new...

Filled 3 4.5 kg cylinders today from a 15kg. First time trying the sink in the water technique. Two points. Donor Cylinder in the...

I have a marine toilet with gravity holding tank on the boat and a Thetford chemical toilet in the motorhome. Neither smells excessively...

Failed pressure relief spring was my first thought although I am not sure this would satisfy all the symptoms. Perhaps the oil pickup...

Look at this page on my website Crevice corrosion Both shafts shown are probably 2205, although the second one, written a long time ago...

Those are all highly specialised conditions. I thought we were discussing marine fittings at ambient temperatures. See this paper for...

And astonishingly, if they are similar to the one for a 3GM, the plastic they use for the top is attacked by gear oil! When I saw their...

2205 has similar corrosion resistance to 304. It is called duplex because it contains ferrite and austenite. Its advantage is that...

Every Sadler built has Blakes seacocks attached with stainless bolts, plus the P-bracket and skeg also attached with the same. Mine are...

Definitely carbon steel. Stainless steel will never corrode like that.

No I didn't. They have been in situ for two decades so they might well be galled. Doesn't matter as they are never coming off.
