Next message: Bob Austin: "T&T: Taiwan Trawler issues"
It is absolutely amazing how well that third world countries mechanics can
keep engines and other electrical/mechanical machines running for many years
beyond the avialability of off the shelf parts. The simple engines and
systems which can be easily repaired have a place in long distance cruising
boats. Arild refers to a lathe as an essential tool for self repair--and I
agree. However even a small drill press can do wonders in fabrication.
