It's interesting how many doomsdayers are already dominating the social media circles along with the conspiracy theorists who think we generated Zika in the lab to kill off people and control the population.

This is correct. Although there are a few cases of GBS that have been associated with Zika virus there is nothing known about cause and affect. I would forget GBS. It's just not an issue to be concerned with.

Let's not stirr up something we know nothing about. This virus has almost certainly always had the ability to be sexually transmitted. It lasts in the bloodstream for only a few days. Sexual transmission has to occur at the right time. Possibly limited to hours. Since the transmission by means...

Just a little more info if your interested. Only 20% of people who get infected have any symptoms whatsoever. When they do its a mild fever, rash, joint aches (mostly in hands) and inflammation in the whites of the eyes (conjunctivitis). Lasts a short time. Once your infected your immune from...

There are many forms of so called polyradiculopathies which all fall under the name of Guillain-Barre syndrome. These can occur as a post viral syndrome and are seen in about 1 of 100,000 adults. I wouldn't much about it.

Remember these mosquitos breed in fresh water. Not sea water. Florida is an area of risk because of the heat and humidity. These critters cannot tolerate cold. They don't travel north where I live in Oregon, except by someone caring the virus who has been infected very recently. Unless the girls...

You can forget this. Your risk of being hit by a whale and drowning is far greater.

What are the ages of you and your crew? That vast majority of infections cause a very mild illness only. It's been around for a long time. Now causing fetal development issues in those who are pregnant. If you are healthy and not pregnant, not much to worry about. In contrast to most mosquitos...

I think most refers that are 120AC or 12DC use only 12DC to run the compressor. They use 120AC when available but invert to 12DC for running the compressor.

Magnets cure cancer, reduce hypertension, eliminate Diabetes, and keep demons away! Why not a few bacteria?

Response from Trojan Tech Support:Specific gravity is only a good indication of “state-of-charge”. An actual discharge capacity test will tell you how much capacity your batteries will have at the exact time. There are no prediction tables or charts.

This gets to precisely my question. I'm not talking about a bad cell. That's easy. I'm talking about a battery that is deteriorating as expected over time but still functioning properly. Should be predictable by measuring the SG. What is the SG where you say time to get new. I posed the question...

I've been through Hood River many times when there were so many kite boarders you couldn't count them all. Flying in every direction. They cross directly in front of you and pay no attention. Many use your wake to launch immediately off your stern. Last time through I layed on my horn. Most...

Yes. They do not address this question. Simply want to know if you can guess anything about the reduction in amp hour capacity by the drop in SG when full charged over time.

So the question is how predictable the SG is, when full charged, for assessing the quality or remaining capacity of the batteries.

If a fully charged new 12V Flooded Lead Acid battery's electrolyte has a SG of 1.265-1.275 at 77 degrees F, what will be the expected SG (roughly) when the battery is used for several years, possibly sulfated, but still "fully charged" as indicated by your boats battery monitoring system?

Bought some bolt style hose clamps at West Marime in Portland--$30 per. Exact same clamp at Pacific Rubber in Eugene--$4.50. Marine?? More like Rip City! No wait, that's the Blazers. Rip Off. Now that's West Marine.

The only unbelievable deal I have ever had is when I built it myself!

I have had several jobs done at Schooner Creek. Always have done very good work but at a VERY high price. What GFC says is correct. Quite a lot of hidden costs come with the final bill.

I have the Comar CSB 200 myself interfaced with Costal Explorer. I use a dedicated 4 ft antenna with 4 foot separation. Never loose a signal. Has always worked perfectly.

I installed a new Magnum Pure Sign Wave inverter about a year ago. Had the same problem with main ships computer shutting down with Gen shut down. With the correct settings it will cycle on in less than 20 ms. The tech support guys at Magnum Energy are very helpful. Give them a call. Once...

Thanks. That's a great idea. Wet vac sucking backwards. Will need to take the line at the suction tank off to do that. Don't want to collapse and crack it. I put my wet vac on a stout 5 gallon bucket once. Completely collapsed it. Generates quite a lot of suction.

Great. Now the problem is you have to be 3 foot tall and skinnier than Twiggy to get to those hoses. I cuss the jack ass who designed my boat regularly.

Mostly Columbia River. Just got back from trip up river from Portland to Tri-cities area. Great trip. Also go west to Astoria. Up to San Juans.
