Wouldn't a 50 bmg be a superior orca deterrent

Drake….with all that huffing and puffing it sounds like you need to see a cardiologist!

That is a Masonry bit identifiable by the carbide tips being wider than the shaft for utilizing anchors. As for the Orcas, waterproof firecrackers, M80's, have been successfully employed as a deterrent – think very loud noise for an acoustic sensitive animal. We had plenty onboard for our passage but did not require them. There is a thought that playing loud "unpleasant" music through the hull may help as well but the only boat I know to do this was a Cat with the rudders in front of the Saildrive which is also a deterrent as it makes the risk higher for them. The biggest problem with them is they do not announce their presence until its too late. If you see a pod before they are close to the boat they most likely are not the pod doing the attack. The attacking pods quite literally approach from below and only when they "hit" do you realize you have company. The best advise I would give is have firecrackers with a cooking torch (the wind factor) for lighting them and exfil the area as fast as possible, the less time in contact with them the better your odds at reducing potential damage – even in reverse if you have a blade rudder as that would place the rudder in front of the prop.

Great install, Hydrovane, would be my choice of wind vane.
Hopefully all of you are over Covid, some people will have it for life, most have little after affects.
Best wishes to all.

For the orcas, I haven't heard of anyone using m80s or cherry bombs, but that seems like an obvious solution. Nothing likes an unepected explosion close by

I have also heard about the orcas ripping off sailboat rudders.
It is my understanding researchers are trying to use noise to keep them away but the research is not complete.
I think the idea of making a strange noise with your pipes is as good as anything at this time.
Good luck
