Tons of information in this blog from the owners of a MKI, "Reality Check". I thought this would be worth sharing: [url]http://realitycheck.me/projects.htm[/url] This is a link to their projects page which has a lot of good write ups for common maintenance and upgrades.

Agreed, fantastic site. Looking at a few of the technical notes makes me think this technical editor has found a wealth of new material for our publications.

Excuse me for this, but...
This website already HAS all that information.
While it may be nice for someone to have all that info in one place, it's one man's way of doing things, and some I'd so differently, and your C36 CD-ROM has LOTS more info.
Not knocking the contribution from the writer, but let's be real: he might well have learned lots of that stuff from YOU GUYS!:):):)

I think it's nice seeing all that open source information tied in with some of their stories and experiences. Summaries of how to service raw water impellors, etc are a dime a dozen, but it's always fun to see how someone else may be doing it on their boat. The pictures and trip summaries can also make for interesting reading.
Just another place to kill some time online looking at boat stuff.

Stu,
You are correct, the bulk of this information is available here. The point is it would be great to add this individual to our group as it would appear they could add value to our group as you do. I think we should embrace the chance to engage such a well spoken member.
By the by, as for complimenting this individual the proper form would be nice work m'am.
