Ok, this is either TMI or I have no idea what you're talking about. :-)

Does it quack?
-- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scotty" wrote in message ... I use duck tape. Scotty "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... I have several lines on my boat that were whipped properly, and they're a beautiful sight. However, when I replaced my fender lines recently, I dipped the ends instead of taking the time to whip them. So far, it seems just fine, the only difference seeming to be the asthetic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipping_knot or http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...rvlet/SiteSear chView?catalogId=10001&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial& keyword=wh ipping&Ntt=whipping&N=0&storeId=10001&Ntk=All_2&dd key=SiteSe arch (http://tinyurl.com/ycx7os) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

"Scotty" wrote | compression & combustion In other words, fire...... Most people think gasoline and diesel fuel *explodes* on top of the piston inside the cylinder inside the motor but it *burns*. If it explodes you get that knocking sound. I learned all about it from this book. http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Repair-Du.../dp/0764550896 Cheers, Ellen |
