Ironman

Ironman

Bob has a formula for a template..for the Cummins buddys...worked great for me.. one 4x4 & a couple 2x4s

Ironman

Hmm a 31 bert w/overboards

Ironman

Dug: I put a 1 1/2 inch or larger,your choice
PVC male adapter with a screw cap( low as possible.).. Drill an 1 1/2" hole ,install with 5200 in the bulkhead.... put the cap on either side.
I keep it screwed in at the dock & open it while running ... simple fix

John: I replaced my Port raw water pump last year.. surly would have been easier using the spaced motor mount.. (I used the seaboard pump) should be good for a few years now

April fools come early//
interiors nice anyway ...minus the head... can you imagine the smell up in the bow ? after a day of fishing with a couple guys?
The two jokes on the transom disgraceful..

Ironman

Thanks Randall..Miss you Walter..
Wayne

Ironman

John:I m not sure if anyone addressed this.. the port exhaust crossover needs room to wrap it with the heat blanket.. mine is fairly close to the engine hatch .I would not want it any higher. also dont forget about modifing the port front left motor mount for ease in replacing raw water pump.. thing...

Your friend Wayne

Ironman

Keith..yupthe kid is teachin me now.. lol & rightly so.. he got the 68 lber in Newport last year biggest all time for here... . then got the first & biggest thyis year so far 64#..Im kinda livin it thru him.. Bob..I now see the difference..deck sure looks good. I like the two handledfish boxes also....

Ironman

Bob..nice air vents.. .Keith ..the swim step slapping the wave, noise bother you or your prey?.. I have a concern on the nights when seabass fishing.constant slapp on some nights.. The skippy has a better catch ratio & no SS.. or maybe the Son is just getting better than the oldman..... lol Wayne

Ironman

The "Bad Company"(I think a 60ft Viking ..brand new). calm seas I hear.. hit a whale ..holed the bow area. They detached the generator intake up in that area & saved the boat.. almost a total loss.. few years ago. I got some pics somewhere ..

Ironman

Keith.. My son burns 20 gal ...round trip catalina.. Newport.
my Hawiian friend told me always turn on the bow bilge pump during a big marlin fight ..for that wave that comes ova the transom into the cabin.. when your busy!.. Wayne

Ironman

Keith: Berts..Gonna ba bit different than the skippy..my sons got a skipjack diesel 24 ft flybridge...we call it the tippy skippy . tonights gonna be howlin!! ..

Ironman

Dick: I hope you have success with your sale.. 79 and still boating is a dream we all have .. Id think.. God bless you my friend.. keep your bilge dry.
Wayne

Ironman

Ive installed those 11 years ago with no issues..
Wayne

Ironman

I used these mounts, when installing Cummins...very good quality... ..I was however overlooking the difficulty of replacing the raw water pump ....consider spacing them with a custom extention to set it away from the housing ...
Wayne

Ironman

Bob.. I love your gin pole step.. I made one on the leg of my tower...out ofthe way.. swings in or out.. doesnt block the hatch raising either..

Ironman

Guys:.. I put a Controller on the stbd eng hatch,kinda like sea nile.....with electronic controls, its just plug & play..found a little hatch that fits right over & out of GRANDKIDS sight.. has a button on it to "Take command"..getting sore on the knees walkin up & down the ladder fishin bait * kelp...

Ironman

looks kinda "MOPAR" I like it!...
Wayne

Ironman

Well done.. itchin to see the pics of the tower...

If I can help .. Im at Basin while they are dredging my mooring field.. Basin has a crane with an arm that will fit under your brow...I have done this on land ..& had a bit of an issue installin Cummins with the brow,using a forklift..My son has a skippy in your area...
Wayne on B dock..

Ironman

They can be a bit noisy when fishing at night ...slapping the waves . Not good ..but still the benifits are there.
Wayne

Ironman

Brew: John Vieator lives up that a way.. cool guy..hope he sees this.. Im 5 hrs away.

Ironman

got any big buddys??

Ironman

Awesome inf.. Now Ill know what happened when I get spooled. I didnt know so many were accounted for..
Wayne

Ironman

love to see them.... fultzdude@yahoo.com

Ironman

& dont forget to back them up good... Great big LEES anything fits in them..

Ironman

Fish boxes .. storage.,access to the deep part of the hull.. Generally well worth the effort..I put a pair of Cabo 35 fishboxes in my 31 with NO modifications to the boxes..the 5' exhaust runs straight out new holes in the transome.. Youll love it (No elbows )
Wayne

Ironman

Kieth: You are moving your exhaust to the outboard side of the stringers ?right?\
Wayne

Walter: Thank God youre ok .. Ill be praying for you . by His stripes we are healed. Only He can save us..

IMHO.. all clamps below waterline should b doubled.. you can butt them to each other. (Tony Athens alway butts them togerther.. ) I have a secondary bait pump intake along the same midship area as your washdown but more to the keel.. It sucks air sometimes & I burn up a pump now & then & kill off ba...

Ironman

Nice clean layout... I like your washdown config.. but Hey whats up with the sprinkler line & 2 output holes? That come from the midship bilge pump.. ?
