Re: M_Boats: m-15 pivot pin

Steve: I am not a metallurgist, but my recollection of the best type of stainless steel to use is 316L. The 'L' means low carbon, which is lower than regular 316. From surfing it seems the 'L' is needed if the material will be welded, but not otherwise. 316 is the most resistant to acid - that is the best for salt water exposure. My guess is the 18/3 designation is 18% chrome, 3% moly (max). For some other SS alloys the numbers seem to indicate chrome/nickle content. I have no clue as to where designations like 304 and 316 come from. I either slept through that class or played hookey. Anyone know why? I found some web sites on the subject: http://www.diveweb.com/maritech/features/uw-su99.01.htm http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa071201a.htm I also found hits for "stainless 316" on surgical apparatus and body piercing web sites as well!

CD Player

Connie, I bought my old CD player in 1995 and I don't think it has any anti-skip system on it. I went to the local discount store and checked out the Sony Walkman CD player. I bet other customers were wondering what I was doing as I shook it, rocked it as if it were on board during an attack of graybeards, and even turned it upside down. It didn't skip at all. Needless to say, it is onboard now. Thanks John

Re: M_Boats: Bronze Centerboard for M15?

Steve, I tried to reply to Jerry re: the Bronze CB for an M-15. I would want one, but would need to have an idea how many DQ peanut Buster Parfaits I would need to plan on missing first. Deena has designs on doing some landscaping this summer and we must keep our priorities in order. Harvey & Deena M-15 #348 "Pelican" Walla Walla, WA >>> stevemc35(a)attbi.com 04/11/02 08:52AM >>> Jerry-- I know there has been talk about a bronze centerboard replacement for the M17. Is there any chance that, if enough M15ers were to commit to buying one, a bronze CB replacement could be made available for the M15 as well? Personally, I would buy one in a heartbeat. -- Steve McClellan 1981 M15 #152 Evanston, Illiois stevemc35(a)attbi.com _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats

M-15 #119 Lexington, KY Steve- The why would seem to be obvious to me, Sailing was much more fun than metallurgy class, and the definite need for such a class was hard to put into perspective on a warm sunny spring day with a 10k breeze ;-) http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
