On mine, the thread is cast into the zinc so there is no nut. The stainless threaded section if pressed down after pulling through one side might allow you to use a hacksaw on it. Won't be a piece of cake as stainless ain't soft. If you can work with a partner, maybe two Locking pliers might allow t...

Hueso-so we understand properly, our rudder zincs up north are usually two discs with a ss Allen head that goes through a threadless zinc half, through the rudder onto the other half of the zinc which IS threaded. Half a dozen turns on the allen wrench and the rudder is sandwiched snugly by the zinc...

New engine, new outdrive, new fuel tank, fuel and vent lines etc. on my 20. Then when you start taking things apart, you discover things you had better address, plus a few surprises like none of your old gauges will work on the new engine etc.

I get all kinds of marks on my new(ish) depth recorder when running very much beyond trolling speed. The faster, the worse. I have Cummins 6bt's. I thought a surpressor on my unit's power line would do it but have been told I would need one on each of my alternators. No problem on my radios or my ch...

I don't believe it! Stops it from dissolving fiberglass fuel tanks, eroding gaskets, fuel and vent lines? All this MIGHT do is slow down separation. If their claims were close to true, there would be stories galore in all the boating books, NOT Road & Track. What problems do they claim to cure? Snak...

With the price of oil at it's lowest in a long time, that swing in diesel prices only proves the amount of baloney we are being fed.

In Memory Walter K

Agreed!

Tony-If you think you can do it, PM Terry Frank to send it to you after which you can send it to me. Walter

I was disappointed to hear from Charlie that it seems there will not be an Atlantic City Rendezvous this year.

In Memory Walter K

Neil- That would be great! Haven't heard from Charlie yet.

In Memory Walter K

I received a call from Terry Frank last night. It seems that the Mid-Atlanic group that just had their Rendezvous, created a banner honoring Uncle Vic, which all the participants signed. He wanted to send it to me to take to the Northeast Rendezvous for all of us to sign. I am pretty sure the Atlant...

Yes, I cleared the cache and am surprised to find out this has been up for a while. Probably should have been done a long time ago. However the lights on the site indicators still stay on for some threads and go off for others. Hoped that was the solution, but guess not.

In Memory Walter K

Thanks Capt. Patrick.

In Memory Walter K

You sure as hell tried out his rod!

In Memory Walter K

Whoa Brew! Congratulations!

In Memory Walter K

I'm on a MAC and always have been. Never had it happen before. Strange, and a bit of a pain in the ass.

In Memory Walter K

I've started noticing that often after I have read through a thread and moved on, the indicator light stays on. I interpreted that as someone contributed after me and go back to see what was written, only to find the last guy was me. Anyone else have that happen or is it just me?

In Memory Walter K

Done.

In Memory Walter K

Mikey-the three I illustrated came straight from the site so Vic's descriptions have to be recorded somewhere.

Having produced a 256 page cookbook, be advised you are looking at a year's work, details up the wazoo and a lot of out of pocket expenses. It just doesn't come together easily.

Are your vents from each tank? Looks like it could have popped from heat expansion.

"You live, you die, but have you ever fished the UVI", and thanks to him some of us have...and he and it has changed our lives forever.

In Memory Walter K

I am in total shock! What a loss to the world and to us all! I'm rarely at a loss for words but I sure am now. Rest in peace, my good friend...and you certainly were.

In Memory Walter K

Congratulations! Nice when it works out right!

In Memory Walter K

So did I.

In Memory Walter K

Vic-I'm not saying goodbye until one of us walks out the door. I've known you through the site for over ten years now, been a guest at your house on the Ticktaw, and have been lucky enough to have been invited to three of your UVI's at Port Eads and two of them at TSL. You have given me memories I c...

Give us your schedule!

In Memory Walter K

Reality: There is tackle you don't want your guests to use. YOU will rarely use trolling equipment because you're running the boat. Chunking, chumming, bottom fishing is where you will actually have that "perfect combo" in your hands, but the minute you put it down, someone will lay it down on a har...

In Memory Walter K

You'll probably get all sorts of more valid choices from the REAL offshore guys, but as a Captain with a crew of guests or charter people, I found Mono the most forgiving of them all. I also liked using matched differently colored mono on my 30''s, 50's and 80's so I could clearly see where each lin...

Yeah, those spine shots really stop em. Bad as it is, he's a lucky bastard!

In Memory Walter K

How did THAT happen?

In Memory Walter K

Bruce- am I wrong that the diode is normally just after the lug fitting that connects to the alternator? Mine (both) were pretty much camoflaged and looked like part of the wire. I suspect anyone not knowing what they looked like and where they were would never find them on their own. Is that their ...

Very sad Dug. Our sympathies to all concerned.

Most women complain their men don't talk to them enough. Looks like this guy talked to his woman too much.

In another generation or two, the recognition of quality will be completely gone...and they won't care. You can't get upset about something you've never seen.

I think it may have been taken at the Montauk Rendezvous by Gary Caputi. We had a 54 there but I don't think it left the slip once it got there. It might have been a coming in or going out of the harbor picture.

In Memory Walter K

There was a bright red B-20 powered by a Yanmar diesel (if I am not mistaken) and a Bravo 3 outdrive at the NY Boat show several years ago. I think it also appeared at the Atlantic City Bertram Rendezvous. It HAD that wierd spraying system over the top section of the Bravo 3. I was told it was put o...

And you're still not worried about what's happening to the gene pool?

In Memory Walter K

The first thing that comes to mind is whether one of the rudders or rudder arms is hitting something causing the hard stop. Disconnect the rudders from the steering system and manually see if both move the same amount to port and starboard without being connected to each other. Before reconnecting t...

Someone here might even know the specs or name of the specific diode.

In Memory Walter K

The diode is right before the lug you would use to connect the wire to the alternator. Looking at the wire, you would swear it's not there as it's covered with insulation exactly like the rest of the wire. If you have a long enough exciter wire strip back 2-3" starting at the lug. The diode on mine ...

In Memory Walter K

Feel the exciter wire. There is a small multi colored (striped) diode that is soldered in. The connection is probably broken. I peeled back my insulation and removed it. Note (on paper so you won't forget) the colors and their direction towards the alternator. Take the diode to Radio Shack and they'...

Could you have a bad circuit breaker? If you connect a heavy gauge wire between your left and right red wires does your problem go away?

The tank is somewhat transparent when back lit?

In Memory Walter K

You're running off the fuel stored in the secondary filter. once it's consumed the engine stops. Before you go to the check valve, try two things to isolate your problem. First, have someone staring at the bowl when you turn the engine over. If you have a crack or leak that lets air in (breaks the v...

Yours is an old house and they don't make them that way any more. Had one like it in Nassau County. I found the wall behind a radiator was cracked a bit and didn't feel solid. When I started looking for solid wall, I ended up with a 6' x 9' hole and a huge pile of rubble. There was wood lathe covere...
