Beeing away for a certain time doesnt mean that I forgot all the good friends I have here. Now with time and space many things are rolling like rebuilding my small Kubota, prepare to paint the week end boat, doing small stuff on the B31 and I also need to replace the water pump on my Dodge. So...is ...

Finally at 60 I take a big change and leave the big city of Lisbon (noisy,too much confusion) and decided to move to my litle farm (about 60kms from Lisbon), close to river Tagus ( 1km). And to avoid some crazy idea of returning, just sell the house. Now the only place to leave is on the farm. Wife ...

I have been in Patras, Volos , Piraeus and like to see the guard on the palace with the way they have to march with those wood shoes, amazing. And I have been once in Salamina cause the ship went to a shipyard to do some repair. While on Patras I went a weekend to a very beautiful island Zakintos , ...

I check on the prices and maybe you're right. What takes me to rethink what I want to do. Very similar to your approach. My fridger works on 12V underway and when I stop to spend the day or the weekend, I turn it to gas (with the small pilot always on) but I have a good ventilation and from time to ...

Why not to try something like this : MC4 Peel & Stick 136 watt Uni-Solar Laminate Solar Panel Flexible 24v Unisolar
Its a solar panel that we can walk on top and it can be glued on the top of the cabin, I think

Before this new forum type I start reading and asking things on the old board about the V8 Cummins I have on my B31 and always get answers from Bruce and other people. When this new board start with the actual format I registered and start reading and asking things as I am "rebuilding" my Bertram. I...

My boat name is " Bonsai" and maybe , maybe.... is that the reason why some "knowledge" boat people ask me if it is made of wood ??? Anyway is the strongest bonsai I have ever had. The other 2 or 3 (bonsai trees) after some cuts die on the next 2 or 3 weeks. This one, I cut , I grind, I do a lot of ...

Hi Keith , I've seen all the work you have done but looking to this deck now , dont it get too hot when at the sun during some hours ? And be carefull with that radar antenna when you are on the bridge with it working. Maybe, you could made a radar mast that place that antenna higher to avoid waves ...

Congrats Bob , amazing well done work. Normally they say that a man, during his life must do 3 things : plant a tree, have a son and write a book, however you rewrite this to be 4 things : plus rebuild a Bertram 31 to this state of art. Lots of health for you and your familly to enjoy this new beaut...

I´ve done with small led lights , 4 plus 4 , divided by 2 switches. A group of 4 have a consumption of about 7,5W that gives around 0.6 Amps on 12 Volts. The important thing for me is that the consumption in Amps is the less possible and with these I achieve a good value. I buy each group of 4 on Ik...

Nice work. And Bob H. is right, the air box is very well done. Now that I look to the ones I made....on a scale from 1 to 10 , your air box is 9 and mine is 0.25. Maybe redoing again is a good idea. My mistake was not including that outside collar on my boxes. Thanks for sharing and keep the good wo...

Nordhavn is one hell of an ocean going boat. The engine room is impressive as well as practical, with a bench full of all the tools needed. i am a big fan of those boats for long time ago. the boat that I saw the inside was a 68" with a main engine and a "wing" engine , and in general always see th...

I have been on a shipyard on Xiamen,China where they built the Nordhavn, an american company that was before on Taiwan. The boats are really my kind of boats. Off course that even if I ever buy a boat like that , my old lady B31 should stay at least as my convertible for ridding wild. The production...

If you use Aquamet 22 , you can keep the 35mm cause they say that its the equivalent to the normal 316 at 50mm. I'm gonna keep the old entrance with 35mm but this time with Aquamet 22 to run on Cummins 220 , mainly... because... I'm a bit afraid of doing the new ways like Capt Pat says, and also bec...
