If you do it in a tin like tony did, drill the hole before you take the tin off.

Pretty work!

Jack: I doubt you will have a problem doing it in the water. Just add a good pair of Vice Grips to the shaft above the packing as insurance. Rawleigh

All is well that ends well!

When I re did my rear deck I left the smaller fuel tank in place and made rod storage above it with a long deck hatch that lifts up towards the transom. If you have the larger fuel tank you may not have enough room above it for that.

I just saw a 25 flybridge on a trailer with two outboards on an Armstrong bracket. I could not get pictures of it unfortunately and could not tell what the outboards were. The 300 Suzuki's are nice outboards. i have a friend who put two on an Armstrong bracket on a 30 foot Scarab Sport. They are so ...

Gelcoat is a liability below the waterline. use epoxy only.

Rawleigh

KISS! I like it!

Rawleigh

Just don't go too far from the dock!

Rawleigh

I guess the seat belts are for when you hit a big wake and the bow digs in???? And why is the electric outboard "running" at the dock?

Rawleigh

I know that back about that time period when the predecessor to Tropic Star lodge was opened I think they were using Mathews boats.

Rawleigh

Dang Cam! I am glad that is all you got out of that confrontation! Get well soon! Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Cool! What are the boats?

Rawleigh

Oh wow! Are you and Peter going to have a race!!! LOL

Rawleigh

On that interface, it is really cool and useful when it works, but when it goes down you are dead in the water.

Rawleigh

Jenks:. What type of steering? I own a 30 ft scarab sport with a friend and it always had problems with not wanting to run straight and hooking to the side. We thought it was chine walking. The bleeding instructions said not to turn it past the stop when bleeding. My friend got mad at it one day whi...

For the standard battery box without cover----does anyone use tie downs? I am using Group 27----and they can move around----I looked at mounting trays but there is just not enough room to mount 2 in the box. Craig: When I went to the smaller batteries I used a piece of aluminum angle with holes dri...

Rawleigh

Pretty work!

That is one time that the trim tabs really help on a B31. You can lower the bow and see over it from the lower station. i am assuming you have the head in the after starboard corner with the gally sink where the lower station went?

Rawleigh

Like Carl, I too put on the external strainers. Being a sceptic I also kept my internal strainers. I have never seen anything in them, and when the time comes for me to change hoses the internal ones will go.

Rawleigh

I concur!

Rawleigh

Looks like you really have her set up well for what you enjoy! Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing.

Rawleigh

I agree with tony. I think you would be complicating simplicity. Redundancy is one of the great things about twin engines.

Rawleigh

Mine has what we jokingly call the beer Bell. It's an old school doorbell located above the headliner in the cabin with a push button under the dash upstairs. It will sure get your attention!

Rawleigh

Fire xtinguisher might be good, but it might be in the middle of the fire too if the fuel fill runs through it.

Rawleigh

It might have been one of the old VMRC boats from the look of it. Getting in the cabin looks like it would take gymnastics!!

Rawleigh

I cannot get the site to load. Is the hull tunneled?

Rawleigh

Wow, that is terrible news! Another member gone!

Rawleigh

The engine beds in my '66 are straight across too Carl. I agree with your assessment.

Rawleigh

The original Bertram wiring with both upstairs and downstairs ignition switches that need to be on has foiled many thieves I bet. It even foils me if I am not careful! LOL!

Rawleigh

Yea, I have ordered from Virginia at 6 pm and had it on my desk by 11am next day at standard shipping rates. I hear they have a UPS terminal at their warehouse. Expensive, but worth it when you need it! I bet you will buy from them with confidence again though!

No doubt!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you looked like a seal to them. Must have been salmon eaters!! LOL

Rick: I used to run lean of peak in my Beech Debonair. You had to be careful and I did not have fancy electronic gauges, but there definitely is a sweet spot there. Of course just past that sweet spot is a hole in a piston! LOL! Very few boaters have the attention span to run a boat motor that way ....

Rawleigh

When I was just out of college and paying for my dive gear I dove on the running gear of a Uniflite hull that had been finished out as a house boat. I don't think it was a military hull, just of the same design. Not a bad looking boat as far as house boats went! LOL!

Rawleigh

Glad to hear you made it through that well Ray! Could have been much worse! Keep in touch. Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Thanks jason! It is good to know that something will take that goo off!

Rawleigh

You and Cam have really been showing us how it is done. It is nice to see a well documented project. I get too head down in what I am working on and never remember to take pictures to document it.

Rawleigh

Wow, the work you are doing is amazing!

Rawleigh

Tony: Yes, the wax wicks down into the thread with capillary action and helps loosen it.

Rawleigh

If you use heat, also take a piece of wax and melt it into the threads. The heat helps t pull it into the threads. I use a piece toilet bowl ring. A candle will also work. Also if you heat it you can quench it with water to make the nut contract quickly and compress any corrosion. If you can put for...

Rawleigh

That ain't his first rodeo!!!

Rawleigh

The whole "twig in the drain" thing is a little disturbing!!! LOL! Too many possible meanings!

Rawleigh

They got hit pretty hard. Anyone heard from him? I hope he is OK.

Rawleigh

How are you making out Ray?

Rawleigh

Well that is good news!

Rawleigh

Good luck to all up there!

Rawleigh

Good luck to all our Brothers in the path of Henri!!

Strong soap and a pressure washer with a slanted end is what I have used. They work much better if they are heated.
