Princess Carry | Malleus Draconia x Reader

Originally planned to make this into hcs but decided to do a fic to practice my writing skills o(｀ω´ )o

*they/them pronouns for reader

possible OOC-ness

Intentional use of his groovied lab coat/tamagotchi sr bc he looks so soft here hhhhh

��Um, Malleus, could I try something?”

Malleus raised an eyebrow as he looked up from his book. Well this was rather interesting. He had been dating (Y/n) for some time now, and while they were usually the one that took the initiative, it was uncommon to see them look so shy. They were fidgeting and they would make eye contact with Malleus only to look to the side. It was clear that they were nervous, and Malleus was curious as to what they wanted to do.

“I suppose I can humour you. Tell me your request,” he replied, bookmarking the page he was on and closing the book, setting it aside on the sofa he was sitting on.

“All you have to do is stand up and, um, brace yourself.” Now that was intriguing. Malleus complied and stood up, moving away from the sofa, albeit he didn’t know what to brace himself for. A hug? A kiss, perhaps? He settled for staying still, looking at (Y/n) as they put one hand on the back of his knees, the other hand around his back...

He was off the ground, only supported by his lover’s arms as they held him in a princess carry. He tucked his arms against his chest as he stared at (Y/n). To their surprise, he was lighter than they expected, and his horns weren’t really in the way. Still, carrying him was a little awkward due to the height difference, though they were more occupied with how adorably confused Malleus looked.

Once he registered what happened, he started giggling, pleasantly surprised by (Y/n). They were strong, yes, but it never occured to him that they were strong enough, let alone brave enough to try and lift him up. In a princess carry no less. In all honesty, he quite liked being carried like this. It wasn’t the most comfortable, but there was something about it that made him never want to be set down ever again. Maybe it was because of how warm he felt pressed up against (Y/n), or maybe it was because how endearing they looked as they tried their best to not let him fall.

“To think that you’d carry me in a princess carry...The more I learn about you, the more intrigued I am,” he commented, placing a light kiss against their temple and admiring how cute they looked blushing all the way up to their ears, which were barely hidden by their (h/c)-coloured hair.

Malleus absentmindedly wondered if they could carry him like this more often.

Bonus

“I’m going to have to set you down, Malleus. My arms are getting tired.”

“How dare you human! Malleus-sama is not a fragile girl! He doesn’t need to be carried like that!”

“When did you get here, Sebek?”

“Sebek, you’re too loud, I can’t sleep. Also, aren’t you just jealous that (Y/n) gets to carry him and you don’t?”

“I-That’s not it! I am certainly not jealous!”

“The young ones are interesting, fufu~”

idk why i have a thing for taller people being carried princess-style by their shorter s/os lol

idk why i use brackets for (y/n) either when i didn’t use them for s/o either

the bonus part can be treated as crack or smth if you want

The eSCRAMBLER by Shanghai Customs

This article was written by Matthew Waddick of Shanghai Customs. When possible we like to bring you the story of a build in the words of the team that built it, to cut out the middle man and give you direct insight into their thought process and methodology.

The eSCRAMBLER – Design

The eSCRAMBLER is designed entirely from scratch by ex-Yamaha Japan Advanced Labs Industrial Designer and former Danish Flat Tracking champion Michel Riis. Michel comes from a speedway and motocross family, has a master’s degree in industrial design from the Design School of Kolding and has been building and racing bikes since he was 12 years old. Michel’s design brief was for a mid-size motorcycle with similar proportions to the Shanghai Customs eTRACKER concept, a more powerful mid drive motor, belt drive, refined design and production ready – meaning toolings, CNC welding jigs and molded parts. The bike also needed to be able to handle crazy-fast speeds and have good practical ‘real world’ range (up to 150km/hr, 0–100 in 3.2 seconds, and minimum 150km range per charge). This required a completely new design and development from the ground up.

There are a ton of electric scooters, light electric motorcycles (mainly in the off-road segment), as well as expensive electric sports bikes. However, there still isn’t much in this high-level custom styled mid-sized motorcycle segment and definitely nothing I’ve seen in production so far. This is mostly due to design challenges – it is challenging to make these look good whilst delivering speed and range at a price that the consumer can accept. The amount of suppliers needed to complete a project like this as well as homologation and putting it into production – it becomes too difficult for most.

Having such a talented designer like Michel on the team, who also has the ‘hands on’ custom and practical skills, meant we could design the bike from the inside out, rather than wasting time on over the top sketches and building down trying to make them work. Michel started off with some basic dimensions and proportion layouts which were loosely based on the concept eTRACKER, before sketching and adding in the CAD over the top. It was then a process of back and forth – cad – sketching – cad – sketching on each component until it was ready to prototype. We started with the core structure, box and frame, as opposed to more stylistic items such as the ‘tank’. This meant we could understand the bike more and how it would actually work and fit together. It was all very practical with Matthew’s engineering team building in tandem on the ground. This greatly simplified the process and made assembly of the bike easier and cheaper for mass production.

We want people to understand this bike, see how it is all put together – to demystify electrics and especially not hide that we have a box full with cells. However, the design was not as easy as it looks – in fact it was incredibly difficult. Generally, making a complex product look simple is one of the hardest things to do and this is especially true with electric bikes.

Michel began with basic box sketch designs and built the frame around this. Working in collaboration with the engineering team, myself, Sam Dekok and Hector Alvarez, we developed the initial pack size and unique internal (proprietary) design with a power of 11kWh (going up to 13kwh), which is very big for a midsize motorcycle (the same as the zero SR). The cells are cooled using aluminium and copper heat transfer plates inside the box which dissipate the heat out through the box, covers and cooling fins.

The eSCRAMBLER mid drive motor outputs a whopping 50kW so we knew the ride would be fast and a super strong. The vast majority of electric bikes tend to hide parts away under plastics and fairings and use a drop in/perimeter style frame where the box slips in the middle and the controller sits on top under the tank or covering. I wanted a double cradle style tube frame – I’ve always loved them, they’re super strong and add a retro/soulful element that most electric bikes just don’t have. This was easier said than done and quite a few times we almost gave up but eventually Michel, with clever use of lines, bends radiuses and angles, as well as combining with moulded parts with aluminium tubes was able to make it work brilliantly. We ended up working with the same frame engineers who make the ZERO frames so we also had great support and quality to draw on.

The minimalistic and strong swing arm was designed from scratch and a lot of engineering work went into fitting it with the frame as well as the suspension and motor. Michel used a simple silhouette for the shape, making it look simple from a distance, but added a lot of small details to make it stand out when you are next to the bike. ‘I love to have small highlights show the lines I want people to notice’ combined with the shadows the design accents show depending on light and angles.

Another engineering challenge was we wanted the motor and the motor axle in the centre of the swing arm pivot with the belt drive train coming directly off the motor, opposed to some sort of complex gearing or pulley system or forward/back/up motor placement. Again, all of this easier said than done, there is placement issues, motor RPM issues, sprocket ratio issues, swing arm design, the swing arm axle and a lot of work around the bearings and swing arm contact point. In addition, as anyone who has swapped an engine knows, alignment issues with getting the tire lined up in the centre. We have been working closely with Gates who provide the carbon fibre belt – they have been great, and we designed the gorgeous rear sprocket to suit. With such a powerful bike, Michel pushed for a super strong triple tree which he designed to hold our upside-down forks and stunning e-mark and DOT approved LED front headlight and indicators. Rims are 18inch aluminium front and back. We decided to opt out of retro twin shocks and went with a more modern central mono shock thus dropping the tracker name and evolving into trademarked eSCRAMBLER, but we do plan on releasing a twin shock eTRACKER variant with some other subtle modifications in the near future.

There was a big emphasis on details – the leather seat, controller cooling and electronics pan (which sits under the seat), CNC’d foot pegs, foot levers, rear light, all kinds of mounts and brackets – just an extraordinary amount of work all reproducible for production and simply gorgeous. The bike gets better and better the closer you look which makes it great for photo shoots. There are no imperfections on this bike as we have designed every detail.

Most of the crew are from custom bike backgrounds so the eSCRAMBLER was definitely built with this in mind. It’s a production bike, but also a good clean platform to do custom builds on. The sub frame and tank are easily changed, which will change the look of the bike to fit different purposes and styling, including number of seats. SWITCH is a production motorcycle company, but we will work with custom builders, including Shanghai Customs and others all over the world to develop, build and sell custom versions.

The eSCRAMBLER – Technical Details and Specs

Aesthetics are one thing, but for people to really fall in love, the bike needs to perform. One of the main benefits of electric bikes over gas bikes is the awesome instant torque, therefore we wanted a battery/controller/motor combo that could do 0-100 3-3.2 seconds. The truth is we still have a bit to go before we are at full power, but the tech and packing inside is awesome.

The controller can deliver an insane 900amps to the motor and has field weakening, meaning more power at lower voltages. This means we are able to stay at 72v, which is much more stable than the higher voltages, better for homologation purposes and means we can up the amps (currently at 144Ah) for take-off speed. The other tech is pretty cool too and I’ve spent a lot of time on this. The bike has integrated wi-fi so we are able to see real-time updates and performance globally, lap times as well as a plethora of battery monitoring and other diagnostic information from anywhere in the world. This means Michel can be thrashing around the track in Aarhus, Denmark while we can be monitoring, adjusting his settings after each lap/race from Shanghai in real time. The bike is also equipped with built in GPS tracking, digital display, 3 speed modes, cruise control, battery level indicator, regenerative braking, USB phone charging and all the other gadgets that you would expect from a high end electric motorcycle. We are working on the fast charging system at the moment.

All suppliers of the components on the bike are top quality. A big part of my work has been to get top level suppliers on board and supportive of the project and we couldn’t do it without such support so it’s been great to see! The braking system is supplied by the Spanish company JJuan, forks and rims are used on KTM, Carbon Fibre belts is by Gates USA, Battery cells by Panasonic and the Taiwanese controller company Mopibus (one of the best in the world) is working with us on the tech. We are also developing the ABS system at the moment with BOSCH.

The ‘tank’ is another item on electric bikes that always seems to get a lot of comments. Putting a gasoline tank on is just ridiculous, but at the same time, and particularly with this style of bike, some sort of heritage or natural evolution of design is required. This ‘tank’ is another Michel Riis special and he spent a long time on this with numerous designs and trials before we got it right. The lines, the way shadows form on the edges creating the contrasts between the different highlights and shadows is just gorgeous. It’s a super complex piece that covers all the 12v electronics and we are working on a lid which will open with a small compartment for gloves and phone.

Finishing was also important and it would have been criminal to paint over that aluminium frame so instead we treated and polished it. I think in production we will also keep the raw look, but maybe some painted too. We finished the aluminium battery box in a semi-gloss anodized dark grey, and the ‘tank’ in a Volvo metallic blue to accentuate the sculptured shapes. The welding level is stunning so we left the welds untouched in most places. There are just so many details to the bike, everywhere you look, foot pegs, mounts, brackets, adapters, foot lever., et al – when people see the effort that has gone in and the minimalist beauty of the eSCRAMBLER they just want to touch it.

Homologation and Testing

There a bit of work to do until we get to market. The pack needs to be put through its paces, thoroughly tested, and there is still some modifications to do for a tank–glove box plus some tidbits here and there. However we are now entering the homologation stage and have begun working with DEKRA on the type approvals. The process and testing is complicated but they have been super supportive and great to work with, it’s much better to be making the changes now rather than later. The other big thing is the ABS system which takes a minimum of 9 months and for this we are working with BOSCH who have also been super helpful. You can’t just buy an existing ABS system and hack it on, the whole thing is painstakingly matched and tested under all conditions.

We will be releasing the road legal version in 2022. The good news is that we don’t need homologation and abs for the track and will begin really putting the bike through its paces this year on the Scandinavian flat tracking circuit with some world champions already lining up to have a thrash. It was Michel’s personal dream was to create an electric bike you could use as your daily ride and also have track days – ‘the simplicity is perfect, you can focus on riding and not be distracted by the loud noise from your gas engine’.

It’s been challenging, but we are getting there and can’t wait to see the eSCRAMBLER initially on the track and then the road!

COPO Camaro Drag Racers Make the Straight Line Spotlight

Maryland Traditionalists

Veteran racer George Taylor is giving East Coast drag racing fans a retrospective look back while campaigning his vintage-appearing Super Stock 1967 Camaro. Taylor is the patriarch of a family orientated race team based out of Bel Air, Maryland, which spans three generations, including his son George Taylor Jr. (the driver) and his grandson George Taylor III. George Taylor Sr. is the original owner of this race car, purchased back in 1970 and initially raced in the NHRA Modified Production class. Now the Camaro, which was built by Wisecarver Brothers Race Cars and features its original and period-correct paint scheme, runs a high-winding 800hp, 297ci small-block assembled by Black Arrow Race Engines. The Camaro is now raced in SS/EM trim and George Taylor Jr. has run a best time of 9.16 at 146+ mph. Raymond and Christopher Valentine round out the race team’s crew.

Victorious Vega

Racing a super reliable and very rare 1971 Chevy Vega, Ohio’s Rob Kropfeld is certainly one of the bigger success stories within NHRA’s Central Division 3 circuit. Rob and his girlfriend Christin Wuzelbacher have been racing their car since debuting it late in 2006. In 2010, it received a major upgrade to its current form when a new rollcage and some tinwork were completed by PK Race Cars. This Vega’s engine combination is a small-block 434 built by Ohio Crankshaft and is rated at around 700 hp. Kropfeld’s focus includes Fast ET Bracket and Super Street 10.90 or Super Gas 9.90 target racing, and the success he has amassed is pretty remarkable. Rob has won various Track and King of the Track titles, a lucrative $50K first prize in Ultimate 64 competition, and he is a two-time winner in Jeg’s shootouts. He also prevailed for the 2016 NHRA Division 3 S/ST points title, and he has two NHRA national event wins (Joliet 2015, Norwalk 2017). Kropfeld remains an independent racer but receives valued backing from associates Ohio Crankshaft, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Goodyear tires.

SAM Tech Sensations

NHRA’s quickly growing and momentum-filled 2017 Factory Stock Showdown series featured domination by COPO Camaro drivers. The circuit, which showcases ferocious head-to-head competition among the Big Three North American auto manufacturers, is presented by Houston-based School of Automotive Machinists & Technology. The series featured record participation and performances last season at all five of its scheduled races, held in conjunction at select NHRA national events.

The season championship battle was won by Pennsylvania’s David Barton, who prevailed over his racing stable mate Pete Gasko Jr., in the final points tally (277 to 244). Barton won it racing an extremely potent COPO, which is owned by Gary Wolkwitz and sponsored by GM Parts Now. The Barton and Gasko COPO Camaros feature Mike Roth (MR2) chassis and similar in-house engine programs direct from Ray Barton Racing Engines: 350ci supercharged LSX engines that produce a whopping 1,250 hp. Both the Barton and Gasko cars, which were constructed side by side, were originally 2016 models that were converted to 2017 trim to go with the latest generation Chevrolet-developed engine programs.

Barton won three times on the circuit in 2017, taking the events at Gainesville, Norwalk, and Indianapolis in record-setting fashion while Gasko Jr. scored at the other two, held at Concord, North Carolina, and St. Louis. The formidable team also bantered back and forth throughout the season in the near 170 mph-capable cars for top performance bragging rights while carding the all-time quickest runs ever for the FS/XX category. But at season’s end it was 19-year-old Pete Gasko Jr. who was holding the quickest recognized elapsed time at a remarkable 8.097.

Buoyed by such great season success, NHRA and SAM Tech have confirmed further expansion of the Factory Stock Showdown schedule to seven events in 2018.

International Alternative Investment Review

Sydney Chase Sr ~ CEO at Syd Chase Group

Why would you suggest to invest in American Real Estate? Which are the main advantages of such an investment?

The American Real Estate Market in my opinion is bouncing along the bottom; yes there will be areas that have a 10-15% decline in their medium home price’s (Florida, Nevada, and California). This is not a large enough percentage for you to wait on the side lines to begin investing at such deep discounts and making Real Estate part of your investment portfolio.

With these deep discounts, in your favor and you with the correct professional team (Consultant, Lawyer, Insurance, Agent, Accountant, Banker and Property Management) in place, you will be on your way to grabbing some great deals with High equity in place and great monthly cash flow. Some other advantages in buying in the U.S. real estate market are, the dollar is week to most other major currencies, which give these folks great buying power, we have the best taxes incentives, Interest rates have been dropping, and some say they may drop further. Foreclosure rates are going up, which makes some deals readily available and aids in lowering the median home prices. At this point I would say get in the game.

In which emerging nations would you buy a property in this historical moment and why would that be a bargain?

Brazil is absolutely the most attractive emerging market right now. We have been telling our clients to buy there but only into new developments projects and we have a few to offer.

Let me give you a few bullet points.

• Brazil’s GDP growth for 2010 = 7.5%.

• In 2011 they became the 7th largest economy in the world overtaking Italy.

they are expected to overtake the UK and France this year.

• 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.

• Investment in infrastructure required to prepare for these sporting events is

estimated at R$59.5bn.

• 2.52 million new jobs created in 2010 - unemployment from 7.5% in 2009

and currently at 5.3%

• Brazil currently has a shortage of 8-10 million homes.

• 28 million homes will be needed within the next 20 years

according to Reuters.

• The Government has pledged that 1 million homes will be built this year.

• In 1994 ‘Plano Real’ was passed to enable mortgages and in

1997, a 10 year house finance product became available due

to a new Law ‘9514

• The My Home My Life social housing program has a budget of

R$100.6 billion and aims to build 3 million homes by 2014.

MCMV will reduce the housing shortfall (8 to 10 million homes) by

more than 30%.

• The program is financed exclusively by the government-owned

Caixa bank, which provides funds for developers and mortgages

for homeowners. These are just a few of the reasons why I believe in Brazil as a new emerging market.

What kind of alternative investments does your company propose except from the real estate sector?

If we are talking about the U.S then I would recommend two,

Oil and Natural gas from domestic reserves helps to make our country more energy self-sufficient by reducing our dependence on foreign imports. In light of this, Congress has provided tax incentives to stimulate domestic natural gas and oil production financed by private sources. Drilling projects offer many tax advantages and these benefits greatly enhance the economics. These incentives are not "Loop Holes" -- they were placed in the Tax Code by Congress to make participation in oil and gas ventures one of the best tax advantaged investments. Let me give you a few,

Intangible Drilling Cost Tax Deduction

The intangible expenditures of drilling (labor, chemicals, mud, grease, etc.) are usually about (65 to 80%) of the cost of a well. These expenditures are considered "Intangible Drilling Cost (IDC)", which is 100% deductible during the first year. For example, a $100,000 investment would yield up to $75,000 in tax deductions during the first year of the venture. These deductions are available in the year the money was invested, even if the well does not start drilling until March 31 of the year following the contribution of capita

The total amount of the investment allocated to the equipment “Tangible Drilling Costs (TDC)” is 100% tax deductible. In the example above, the remaining tangible costs ($25,000) may be deducted as depreciation over a seven-year period.This is just a couple of resason there are many more.

The second alternative investment I have been recommending to our clients is

Independent films

Each year it is growing and developing into a safer and sounder economic system. Its future undoubtedly is brighter than its past. There is opportunity in the business for a pleasant profit, but the investor should not expect the enormous returns that are sometimes promised and occasionally, though rarely, realized. Investors need to conduct proper due diligence on a film investment just as they would for any other investment. Take the time to research producers and production companies and see what films they have produced in the past and how they did. This can give an idea of the direction future projects could take. It is common practice for producers to split their profit with investors 60/40 and sometimes even 50/50 and for investors to receive first payout on full re-coupment of the film’s initial capitalization. Tax rebates and incentives for money spent on film or television production within a particular state combined with the benefits of Section 181 allow an investor (working with cooperative film producers) to greatly minimize his or her risk on what would ordinarily be considered a risky investment. For example, if a tax payer is in the thirty-five percent (35%) tax bracket and a qualifying film is shot in Michigan which has a tax credit up to forty percent (40%), an investor will be eligible to recapture seventy five percent (75%) of their investment in a qualifying production. This recapture can be realized before the film is released and/or makes its first dollar. In today’s economy this type of investment assurance is hard to come by. In addition to the Section 181 tax deduction, the motion picture can be filmed in a state with rebates or transferable tax credits. If the film Producers elect to do so, they can pass this subsidy onto our investors upon release of the rebate. As an example, if a $1,000,00.00 movie shoots in New Mexico and spends every penny in the state (or, through a pass through corporation that pays state taxes) the state of New Mexico will issue a 25% tax rebate, worth approximately $250,000.00, that can be sold for a little less than face value. That check can then passed onto to the investors. This is a considerable risk minimization for the Investor. With state film incentives alone, the investor is only risking 75 cents (average) on the dollar if the project is produced in New Mexico…or 60 cents on the dollar if produced in Michigan. In essence, the investor risks 50 to 75 cents on the dollar and the government is picking up the balance on a delayed time table. There are currently 38 states in the United States that have some type of tax credit or rebate plan. Here is a current List of State Film Incentives with updated information provided by Entertainment Partners. Again thses are just a few reason we direct are clients to films. But as a reminder INVEST BEFORE SECTION 181 EXPIRES 12/31/2011

Do you think that art is a safer investment nowadays then financial investments?

I love to look at art, but unless you’re buying at the top to preserve your wealth then I’m not a fan of using art as an investment. Art is a long term investment and is usually handed down from one generation to the next.

How is your dream home?

Now this is a hard question for me to narrow down to just one thought. So I will go with two choices, one would be on a warm secluded island off the shores of almost any warm Mediterranean country. The other would be high up the Colorado Rockies, in a small two bedroom cabin with a wide open view of the range below.

Marine Hot Water Heaters Experts Share Outboard Motor Painting Tips

Your Marine Hot Water Heaters Specialists Help You Take Good Care of Your Outboards

Raritan Engineering Company your marine hot water heatersÂ analysts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding outboard motor painting tips.

Today, your marine hot water heaters experts know that many outboard motors are available in colors to complement the shade of your boat. Honda, Mercury and Suzuki, for example, all offer their outboards in at least two colors; Evinrude lets you add custom side plates and accents from a wide spectrum of color choices.

There are also companies that paint motors. The Miami-based Outboard Paint Shop, for instance, will paint an outboard in the 250 to 400 hp range for $1,200.

Yet there is a more economical, DIY option. The proprietary Quantum paint system from Engineered Marine Coatings (EMC2) utilizes a hybrid acrylic- polyester topcoat – a technology developed for the aerospace industry – to create an extremely durable and professional-looking finish.

Disassemble and Wash

Remove the cowl, the shroud from the midsection, and any plastic pieces or appliques that might interfere with the painting process. Remove the rubber seal around the bottom of the cowl and any other rubber grommets or gaskets that might interfere with painting exterior surfaces.Â

2. Prep and Mask

Sand all surfaces to be painted with 350- to 400-grit sandpaper. Use a power sander on broad surfaces, but you might need to hand-sand hard-to-reach spots such as around the bracket and lower unit.Â

3. Paint the Parts

Choose a windless day with low humidity and temperatures around 72 degrees. Protect the uncured finish from evening dew by starting early in the day or working in a covered area. Spray the dry surfaces with a medium coat of the Quantum 45-X-115 K adhesion promoter and let dry for five minutes.Â

4. Reassemble and Debug

Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours. Then remove all masking materials. Carefully reattach and reassemble all parts. If a bug or debris marred the finish while painting, wet-sand the spot with 1,500- to 2,000-grit wet sandpaper untilÂ the blemish is eliminated and the desired smoothness is achieved.Â

How Many Cans?

Each Quantum 2K kit can be custom packed based on your motor size. It includes Quantum SR-002 Surface Prep/Clean, Quantum Adhesion Promoter, Quantum 2KA spray cans, rags, gloves, Scotch pad, tape and draping.Â

Your Marine Hot Water Heaters Professionals Equip You With the Skills You Need

You can find more information as well as get assistance on marine ice makersÂ at Raritan Engineering.

Painting Outboard Parts

First off, your marine ice makers know that it is best that you do not plan any outings for at least 2 weeks when undertaking this task. Initially, it will take some time, especially if you are going to try to repaint parts on the powerhead.Â

Keep in mind â Aerosol paint jobs are no where near as durable as a paint job done with quality paint from a gravity fed spray gun.

With Aerosol Can Paint

Here are the steps.

Items you need:

Quality primer (self etching), paint, and clear coat.

clear workspace

wet sandpaper â 400, 800, 1000 â 2000 (available at automotive shops)

Quality Rubbing / Polishing compound (3M Perfect-it II) removes fines scratches

Plenty of time and patience.

Try to use a sanding block on flat surfaces and keep the pressure even. For other areas, you can obtain paint remover from local shops but it takes time to remove. It works great for those recessed areas, but it is messy and toxic.

Raritan Engineering Company has more information on marine hot water heaters, marine ice makers, and anyÂ marine sanitation device.
