400 Four - PETROL GRADE CURIOSITY ?
400 Cafe Racer:
Hi Alan,
" Lubricating Effect" I can see where you are coming from with respect to my Q1, since the 2 stroke is entirely dependent on the quality of the mixing to distribute its lubrication.
With reference to my Q2. For 4 stroke use it could possibly be regarded as a form of "Redex", but with modern day benefits ??
Best wishes ;)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Back in the mid 60's I crewed on a 50ft converted wooden fishing boat for 6 weeks - we sailed from North Wales to Barcelona - although it was a wooden boat it too had a massive sacrificial lump of zinc or magnesium it might have been attached to the Hull.
Nurse Julie:
I sailed for many years and it was always my job to scrub the bottom to remove barnacles, apply a couple of coats of Copper Bottom antifoul and fit a new sacrificial anode every winter when the yacht was lifted out for winter maintainace. The anode would not last a whole sailing season, so we used to find a suitable place to anchor up as the tide was going out and when the boat was high and dry, go and fit a new anode to the prop and wait for the incoming tide to re float the boat. Easy job if the boat was a bilge keel type as the boat sat upright on the mud but a nightmare on a Fin keel type as the boat used to lay at an angle of 45° until it started to refloat 😁😁😁
Sesman:
Ooh, sailing.
