Depends on the water temperature and whether or not the tell tell is in parallel or in series with the cooling loop
Your not generating enough heat at idle to open a stat unless running for a considerable amount of time.
Hoses get "stiff", lose plasticity as the result of prolonged exposure ultraviolet rays (sunlight) and atmospheric ozone breaking down the polymer chains in the rubber, causing it to dry out and stiffen.
The life expectancy of a neoprene rubber hose used in fuel delivery service is 10-15...
Night vision cameras have been around for years. Same technolgy as a trail camera and “ring” door bell cameras.
Night vision goggles start @ $100 and go up from there. A pan and tilt unit for marine use that plugs into your chart plotter runs roughly the same as a radar dome

A bad cable connection doesn’t discriminate between radio checks and broadcast messages.
Having said that, VHF is line of sight communications. If you can’t see the broadcast antenna, you can’t hear broadcast.
On a typical day, you’re not going to hear anything that more than 3-4 miles away...

If your worried about someone seeing you naked, the first thing you do is close the curtains…then you lock the door and put the key in your pocket.
Got rid of cable. Had my provider switch me over to Ethernet, installed a firewall on the router and browse behind a VPN
First thing I delete...
Not sure about brands, but the formulation makes a difference.
For long term durability you want a penetrating oil, not “waterproofing” like Thompson.
