If you are still getting oil in your bilge try looking at where your oil filter mates with the engine. This is common source of oil seepage if the last person who changed the filter did not grease the rubber seal first. I would definitely recommend that you spend some time tracking down the source of the leak and how rapidly it is leaking as you don't want to run out of engine oil (very expensive)!

Thanks Graeme. It's not a huge leak, you can just see an oily film on any water that's down there. I've checked the levels and there's still plenty in there. Mind you I haven't checked the gearbox level so perhaps I'd better do that.

Hi. Candle wax on the threads helps wood screws go in. When using brass screws insert a steel screw first. It forms the threads in what may be very tough wood. Getting a mashed head screw out is tricky, you might need to destroy the coat hook. What follows is at your own risk, not mine. I make no claims any of this will work. One possible technique is to carefully drill the head off. Use a power drill and start with a thin drill - say 3 mm diameter. Careful, they break easily. Work up in 1 mm or so steps until the screw head has been drilled out, but leaving some screw shank still protuding from the door. Remove other screw and the hook. First try some small mole grips. If that does not work borrow a dremel and cut a small slot in the shank, then remove with a flat blade screwdriver. Great care is needed to avoid damaging the door. A small steel washer placed around the protuding screw shank can help protect the woodwork. You can get drill bits that work in reverse - twist anti-clockwise to drill, these tend to undo the screw all by themselves, but are a specialist and expensive purchase. A very small screw extractor would work, but again its a fiddly job. Another trick is a red hot soldering iron, or even an old screwdriver. Use it to apply heat to the protuding screw shank. It should slightly char the wood around the embedded screw losening its grip. To repeat, try any of the above at your own risk. BobUK.

You can't use open propane heaters for gas safety reasons but enclosed (externally vented) gas-fired hot air or water radiator systems can be. However they tend to use a lot of propane and are thus expensive to run.

Your screw heads on the hooks were pretty Boogerd up after the mounting , you have a problem with your screw driver. Size counts , fillips screws all require a particular size bit to work well .

Here is an example of one that might suit your needs .

You need to check your stuffing box for how much it is leaking. A bit is ok but a lot isn't. As for the oil, you need to check your drain plug and your filter to make sure they are tight. Your engine should not leak oil. The other place is the gasket on the head cover. Also keep a good eye on the water intake and exhaust. water leaks can happen there as well. You never want a through hull leak.

In California,USA we use a product called "Oil-Zorb". The same materials but wrapped in mesh and not plastic. We LEAVE these at the bottom of the motor to avoid OIL in the water. You can just place what you have in a sack, that works also. I end up replacing my diaper every time I go get gas ( they have a bin for rags ). One more issue is the Over-Fill Vent from the tank. I have a special "tank" that traps the over fill and returns the fuel to the tank. MORE important, if the boat sinks the vent does not allow fuel to go out. I wrap a diaper around that "Vent" also. My version makes a noise when you fill that changes when the tank is topped off.

Oil in the bilge !! Oh no !! Almost as common as water against the hull. 25 years ago I was on a private yacht, powered by twin diesels which had not only gleaming white paint on every surface of the engine room but also white carpeting on parts of the floor. If you looked into the bilge you'd notice two things, first it was painted flat black and then you'd notice why it was, to hide the oily bilge water. I'm sure that it is possible to keep a dry bilge, but I've never scene one. You can get absorbent sheets made for bilges that you can leave in the position while running and dispose of when used up. Cheers !

David, Just a thought about keeping your Engine compartment clear of oil. In the US we use a product called speedy dry which is like cat litter only finer in composition. It is my thought that if you first put a gallon of it down the in the compartment and brush it around it will soak up the oily residue. This, of course, is not for removing large amounts of water but will do a great job at cleaning up any oily residue. Secondly, have you looked into external tank level sensors? They mount to the outside of your fuel and water tanks and they will sense the levels inside the tanks and have a gauge that you can mount close to the tanks.

About your problem with the screws: There are 2 common "crossheads" that look almost the same. PH and PZ. Here is a link to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives You need the right kind of screwdriver and your problem at 5:24 will not happen again. (These srews are PH by the way, I bet on the screwdriver you used is written PZ) And if you ever want to get that srew out, there are tons of ways. The easyest being, take a dreml and just cut a slot in the head of the screw. Unless the screw is hardned (and it obviously is not), a chisl also will do niceley. Oh, and wood-screws usually dont really need to be pre-drilled, they will cut their way through wood easily.

Usually wood screws don't go into very visible wood you see everyday. If you do delicate work, pre-drilling is a must to prevent any mishaps. You use drill slightly smaller than a core of screw you will be using and that makes it perfect. Especially if you do it for yourself.
