Scuttlebutt / Re: New barometer from flea market

Looks nice, but a very strange scale indeed! 10x Torr (mmHg)? Germany switched to SI in the 1970s, using hPa or millibar

Scuttlebutt / New barometer from flea market

Just to share my latest find from flea market to improve boat interior and functionality.

A German-built boat for sure deserves a solid brass German language barometer - see photo for details.

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Re: Cockpit recaulking - how to deal with edge seam near gelcoat?

I used the masking tape as suggested as well and it depends how clean you can work. Last time I did it in 1 go, masking the seams and trimming the tape exactly to the shapes with a Stanley knife. It also can be done in 2 steps. The compound is still fresh and will easily connect in the 2-step seem.

Is it best to fill the gaps between the teak first and let that cure before doing the perimeter seal later, or better done in one go?

I have one of those. It was a mechanical engine stop cable (pull lever by the morse control). When we replaced the engine and a new control panel with push button stop it became redundant and left in situ.

There would usually be stops on the rudder quadrant.

Hi , technicians around my area leave one ready to be installed in case the current fails.

I don't know where the other end goes.
I should have looked right away, but I was in a hurry and had other work to do, and now I'm 350 km away from the boat.

Hi ,
I noticed a big difference on the steering  angle and I think has to do with the Lewmar autopilot rod . How is this adjusted ? Through the length of the rod , or are there any stops to regulate the movement ?
