Pensacola is 30 minutes east by boat and 45 min trip by car....... DQ...aka Doug used to charter his B31 out of there and Capt Rex and Capt Mac also fish out of P'cola.

Keep us updated on your trip...... Might be in the area at that time.... Mullet toss is this weekend.....organized chaos.

Harry, Yep it's a mess......below is a recent statement from the CCA concerning Red Snapper allotment .

My 2 cents on oil analysis.... As a stand alone tool- one time or new analysis is next to worthless. Comparing a benchmark to results of future or previous tests, they have increased value. Lab rats try to read the tea leafs and comment on longevity and use of the engine with poor success. A few fri...

I was down the bayou at the boat today..... My tabs are 18"x9" installed by factory.(94 B28)They seem to work great , no complaints or improvements I could suggest....but I obviously never tried any other size. Never had trim tabs on my 31, but it's been sitting on a trailer since 2006 waiting on a ...

I couldn't live without them on my 28. I have diesels, so more stern weight. They are Bennetts also ...hydraulic control. I have a few friends that have the Lenco elec. actuated tabs, but it seems I've heard of more issues with the Lencos....even though I have them on my bay boat and never had a pro...

What's Gerts time frame? I've got a few wooden shoe, drunk ,low moral country men of his working close by. One friend was over there for the holidays and just got back. Let me check with them about travel plans and shipping ideas and I'll get back to you.

P.S. I now consider this matter closed... Everybody have a great day!... It ain't closed till I say it's closed.......wink, wink ,smiley face Nobody gets and appreciates the sarcasm .........

Hey Gert, were your ears burning last night? We were talking about you..... I think your brother Martin will be in my area in the next few days..... We'll take care of him if he shows up. Small world syndrome.

Bob, I sent a PM with my address.

Thanks

Nav, Do you currently have all them power suckers on your boat? If so, I would do a reverse engineering approach and turn everything on and measure consumption. Get access to an amp clamp with a "peak hold" function. Measure amps with everything on and " peak" amps as you turn everything on.....name...

White spa flex would look best when 1st installed IMO, but it does degrade in the sun. Grey liquidtite conduit is better uv protection, but gives a more industrial look. Both conduits come in nominal tubing sizes, so you can use PVC glue and fittings or compression type bulkhead fittings.

They have a video of the launch.

Didn't realize they had a back down ramp......that reminds me of all the fun and drama fixing to happen at the marina this weekend when everyone tries putting their boat in the water for the 1st time.

Sean, there are various ways to free a stuck compressor. Hard start kit, reversing motor, hi voltage surge and that big hammer thing. Since your breaker is tripping before the over current protection on the compressor trips.... Your breaker may be a problem also. The cheapest way for me would be to ...

Check out this YouTube video. They had an informative article in The Times Picayune last year and I think that's where the video came from, but I wasn't able to locate it. Port Eads is all rebuilt to government standards with a lot of FEMA money thrown that way. But like Capt Pat said... They're sho...

Russ, an air or electric chisel will work but you need to stabilize the work so it has something solid to react against. Once the race breaks loose, the puller should work, so you don't need to split the race. Maybe you can load your puller against the flange bearing, then hit it with the chisel? Ob...

Most of the mixing valves for domestic residential use are pressure balancing to prevent scaulding temps. They have a shuttle spool that will shut off flow if a pressure imbalance occurs..........don't know what type of mixing valve your using, but it sounds like that is what's happening.

It's true that wind chill has no bearing on inanimate objects. If it is 20 degrees outside with a wind chill down to 10, inanimate object can not get colder then 20 degrees..... BUT....

I've got a question along the same lines. I'm gluing plastic laminate to coosa board for cabin door and bulkhead. I like the instant stick quality of contact cement but uncertain of its longevity in a wet enviroment. Since it's just formica I'm not concerned about alignment, but more concerned about...

Kevin, This is a link to the mounts that I have on my 256's. If nothing else, just a referance to what the factory installed and to compare any aftermarket swap out. Why are you changing?
