Servicing Trailer Wheel Bearings Boating Articles
Servicing Trailer Wheel Bearings Boat Maintenance & Safety Reviewed: January 2009 Author: Adam Robinson Boating Review: Service trailer wheel bearings, for safety’s sake. Read more Boat Maintenance & Safety Tips. Servicing Trailer Wheels for Safety – Boating Article by Modern Boating “Service Trailer Wheel Bearings – Greasy does it!” The advantage of trailer boating comes at the cost of maintenance, with wheel bearings commonly neglected. Chances are, your trailer’s wheel bearings are immersed in water and grease right now. Bearings rust quickly, causing friction and heat when towing. When submerged at the ramp, hot rotors cool rapidly, drawing water in, hastening the demise of bearings. Single-axle trailers are at the greatest risk of a catastrophic road accident. If the bearing fails, the driver is unlikely to know until the wheel departs or the axle snaps. So consider servicing your wheel bearings at least annually. Do so as follows: Remove the…

Cooking Fresh Fish - Fish Recipes & Cook's Tips on Yacht and Boat
Tips on cooking fresh fish Howdy folks, A lot of people have been asking me lately “how do I cook fresh fish fillets”? To answer theirs and your question: firstly put a combination of 50% butter (or margarine) and olive oil in the pan. The butter gives a rounded, gentle flavour without masking the fish’s freshness. The oil allows the temperature to increase without smoking or burning. Oil has a higher smoke point and helps ‘keep the show on the road’. Here are the steps… 1) Add the oil/butter and heat the pan. 2) Then place the fish fillet/s in it, presentation side downwards. If both sides have been skinned, the best-looking side. 3) Turn down the heat to low, so the fat just bubbles or simmers. It’s important not to burn the fish. It has very delicate flesh as well as fine flavour. The side that’s facing up is…
