Does Your Galley Wobble??

BOAT · Post by **BOAT** » Mon Mar 05, 2018 11:39 am

I got mad when I started working on the Galley because it wobbled. I could not figure out why it was all wobbly so I removed the front and realized the galley only has three feet. It's like as if your rectangular kitchen table had only three legs. I was mad because the galley could wobble so much it made my water glass splash out water if you banged into the galley.

That's not gonna do - so I cut a square hole into the bottom of the galley and put a gadget thing in the hole. Now the galley does not wobble anymore.

I can't explain what I did so I made pictures of it

Here are the pictures: https://vimeo.com/258626357

Did you ever work for Ron Popeil? But wait - there's more!

Or Uncle Sam, making educational films in the 50's?

Nice work. Funny vid, too.

Great mod as usual. Couldn't you have added another slide to the rail? Should be quite smooth now.

Cute 50s video with Our Mr. Meredeth.

You can't add another slide to the rail - if you did the galley would only slide to the rear about half way - the added slide would be hanging in the air when the galley is moved to the aft position but even that would not work because there is a big bolt on the end of the slide that would not let that added slide come off the track or back on again. If you used a slide it would need to run off the track, and back on again.

That's why I did the moving picture - because it was too hard to explain.

Tell Tom that it is a US Government sanctioned information video for civilian use only. I studied the problem extensively before attempting a solution.

The video is for civilian use only.

Of course, you thought this out thoroughly.

I was very careful to use scientific methods to get the right formula - I did not want Tom to make fun of me. Who puts wheels on boat galleys?

The only picture I can think of that sort of explains it is this one - the wheel rides on the top of the bunk - it does not ride on the top of the track - so it's well inside of where the bolt is so that bolt does not interfere with the wheel:

The other thing is friction - with 4 sliders I was concerned there would be too much friction

I almost thought to put another wheel on the other side too because it would help eliminate friction but then I thought - "what would hold the galley from hitting the roof of the boat if I turned the boat over?

So I decided not to.

But are the two main spurving bearings in a direct line with the panametric fan, and are they so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling is effectively prevented?

I'm sure you've accounted for that.

Haven't you?

Once I saw where this was going, I stopped the video, and put on tall boots before restarting the video...

So this one.

Well my boat is a 2008 & my galley is rock solid not sloppy like ur,s I installed this safety grab bar on mine & I can pull on it up /down & sideways & that galley don,t move period slides yes when its unlocked

I,d say who ever was making the galley,s into the molds the yr ur boat was built was obviously not doing his job right ! , that looks like poor workmanship to me , looks like the mat & resin was not being worked & pressed into the mold in the one corner ! ?
I,m surprised u did not notice that right away & get a new galley when the boat was still under warranty ! , anyways looks like u got it fixed now !
