The HydroHoist Side-Tie "B" provides mooring for powerboats and sailboats in floating or fixed docks. Floating walkways on each side offer a guide for the boat when down, a step out of the boat when moored, and a step into the boat when the boat and lift are fully raised. This lift has four tanks and a capacity of 10,000 lbs.

This lift was purchased directly from Hydrohoist in ~ 2001. I added the two inside tanks in ~ 2007.  The port main tank was replaced in ~ 2009.  It was a repaired tank, purchased again from Hydrohoist for $1,500.  

I thought this lift with second tanks was rated for 7,500 but upon further review it appears it will hold 10,000 lbs.  I know my current boat weighs ~ 6,750 loaded and this lift worked very well with plenty of excess.  

I also fabricated a mount on the port floating section to hold the controls. This is nice if you move the float as you do not have to disconnect anything.  It also keeps the controls within easy access to the boat - I often lowered and raised the boat without getting out of the boat.

The lift is currently fully assembled but I can assist in partial disassembly and have access to a lift truck to load it on a trailer.

Dimensions:  23' x 12.5' fully assembled.  Note the dock bracket will extend the flow ~ 10 inches from the dock.

Insurance changes to make shopping around easier

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

DRIVERS renewing their car insurance could find it easier to shop around or haggle for a discount under new proposals set out by insurers. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said it has written to the City regulator, suggesting that new minimum standards of information should be set across the market. The standards would mean that renewal documents for motor and home buildings and contents insurance would include the premium that the customer started the year paying alongside their renewal quote, so that they could be compared more easily.

Lotus Exige LF1 Limited Edition – one for every Lotus F1 victory

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

Lotus Exige LF1 Limited Edition – one for every Lotus F1 victory It’s a nice idea to build a limited edition car – the Lotus Exige LF1 – to celebrate very one of the 81 victories Lotus has enjoyed in F1, but it does make you wonder if Lotus has done it because they’re never likely to win again (and if they do, do they produce another LF1?). Still, Lotus has pulled out the icon JPS livery for the Lotus Exige S (from the days cigarettes could be advertised) to give the LF1 a pretty paint job of black and gold (with added red bits) including a black and gold Lotus badge up front and a contrast stitched interior with F1 logos on the seats. Also interesting is that each car will receive a plaque commemorating each individual victory, from the 1960 win at Monaco with Stirling Moss behind the wheel to the last in Australia in 2013 with Kimi Raikkonen.

It's (almost) alive: General Motors and NASA develop a humanlike robot for the International Space Station

Wed, 14 Apr 2010

General Motors and NASA have teamed up to develop Robonaut 2, which will be the first humanlike robot to take up permanent residence on the International Space Station. Known as R2, the 300-pound robot will use its “hands” and “arms” to utilize the tools of the station. It will assist astronauts, which GM says has parallels with helping its workers in factories.
