    removing hot water heater

    Roger – I kind of followed most of your explanation but I did not understand the explanation for the following. In the light bulb example above when the voltage drops, all the other factors drop except the resistance of the element. If the voltage drops low enough, it will not give off any...

    removing hot water heater

    Roger – thanks for your explanation, it almost makes sense to me. I figured you would talk about the heat loss from the rate of heat transfer from the element to the water in relation to the temperature difference between the element and the water. I also know a heating element is not per say...

    removing hot water heater

    Roger – I believe there is a slight flaw in you last paragraph (it just takes about 4 times as much time to heat the water). It seems as though something is missing here. If that were true, then we could use one watt of energy and given enough time have all the hot water we want. Using a...

    Marinaut?

    Just a quick note to bring everyone up to date about the Marinaut. As some of you know I started the Marinaut with Ben Toland over three years ago. We worked together on the design and Ben did the plug work while I financed the operation. The design was based on the C-Dory and Cape Cruiser...

    Help prevent expensive Ethonal related repairs

    Roger – you better be careful with your post, you are starting to sound a lot like me. I canceled my membership to BoatUS and West Marine over a year ago because of their attitude and sponsorship to save the earth on the backs of regular people except for those in the boating industry. Dave...

    09/10 - 9/12 - Sequim Bay CBGT 2010

    I am loaded and ready to head up there tomorrow afternoon. Had a little juggling to do with my schedule in order to make it. Our high school is having a multiyear class reunion, 59, 60, 61, & 62 this week and weekend. My brother from Texas came up here to go and wanted me to go also. I talked my...

    Official launch date for the Marinaut

    Bruce – right now things are a little hectic but a little after the Sequim CBGT, hopefully it will settle down a bit. Call me a day or so in advance before you come here and let’s try and do lunch together. Then maybe take the boat out for a little test run. Dave www.tolandmarine.com

    Official launch date for the Marinaut

    nickyn – that is correct. It is the price of what we call the standard boat as listed on our web site. For the real boat enthusiast that wants to do a lot of his own interior layout/build that price can be reduced to around $37,000, maybe less. And that depends on how much he wants to be...

    etech 90 - so wazzup?

    Greg – thank you for becoming involved in this group again – welcome back. I wish I could help you with your decision about the E-Tech. I have a Honda on my 18’-16 C-Dory and am very happy with it. On our new boat the Marinaut 215 we put the 90 E-Tech on it and have just run some preliminary...

    The Marinaut 215??

    Roger - She has not seen the boat. She very seldom gets off the farm or even wants to leave it. The boat in Navy Blue with a Navy Blue E-Tec. It just looks black in that one photo. I normally don’t buy new trucks unless there is something wrong with my current one. So far the Nissan is doing OK...

    The Marinaut 215??

    These dimensions are based on the trailer as it is set up with an Evinrude 90hp E-TEC engine. The trailer has surge breaks. Electric breaks should save you a few inches. The length of the boat on the trailer is 28’ 9” with the engine up. The length of the boat on the trailer is 27’ 8” with the...
