Re: Corrosion pieces

I am not sure either what you are asking, which is more my reading comprehension then your engineering, I assure you! Personally I suspect the galvanized pipe is replacement for the original piping due to the ordering lead time and cost of the CuNi piping-but could be completely wrong. The CuNi SW p...

Hull Cracks

Well the weather is crap outside (good for the forest fire here in Halifax though) and I am bored inside. I was poking around in my pictures and found the following: IMG_0315.JPG IMG_0313.JPG It is a section of plate removed from an aluminum vessel. The second picture with the dye penetrant is the e...

Re: Conrod question

This is a bright new conrod, it comes cast like this, with bolts torqued up and all, you have to 'Brake' the big end in two, hopefully it goes along the line.
I'm just trying to picture this....obviously it is scored somehow and you smack it with a big hammer and cross your fingers.

Re: Conrod question

I was showing it to one of my co-workers, he had heard about this new method. I wonder how much the manufacturers save per conrod by not machining the flanges.
Interesting picture and I'll know the answer when one of the Chiefs call saying he received defective rods.

Re: CG College

There is a new Director there from what I have heard and enrollment is to be going up.
Have you looked at the website at all? There is an open house there on May 31, you could have a look around and talk to some of the instructors.

Re: Cut Backs

If there is day to day inefficiencies creeping in, like they think, it is because they have cut back too much either in manpower or cutting the maintenance too fine, IMHO. You can only save so much money in running the boat at efficient speeds. Let the day to day maintenance slide gradually and voil...
