I saw Targeted Species in Port Eads with a big Blue Marlin in it and was duly impressed...and I'm a trsditionalist. Walter

Patrick-What is the performance with 150 hp? I'd like to look at that new 4 cylinder Volvo 3.0 fuel injected I/O setup that's rated at 150 hp also. Walter

Well then, Happy Birthday Uncle Vic and Patrick! Many, Many more!

Check to see if you have a loose or bad connection on your alternator wires. Walter

That's a nice combo. Must look into it Thanks Ian. Walter

OK Mike- I can easily be classified as an Old Fart, but it ain't my birthday...
I'm not aware that two of them have the same birthday!

Oh, my! Happy Birthday Tim! Walter $ Dinaz

I had my frame chromed. The marina used the old one as a template and cut one out of white formica. That was 18 years ago and still looks like new. Walter

Check your tranny fluid. Low? Cloudy? The oil coolers are an easy replacement if your problem is them. Both going at the same time seems unlikely. You just changed your filters. spill or leak any oil into your bilge? If you didn't have this problem before the filter change, I'd suspect something hap...

I don't understand a brand new Egg Harbor with just one bilge pump. Even though, I'll bet a hose popped off somewhere. walter

I was very impressed with the Volvo D-3 combined with their Ocean series graphite Duoprop unit. Nice fit in the engine compartment. All the diesel combos are expensive, but operational performance and fuel consumption are outstanding. Walter

I touch it up every season. By the way, belts and basic parts are usually available at truck supply places that have a Cummins sign. Walter

In Memory Walter K

I've always used the Cummins spray paint, but if you buy it a a Trucking store, it's half the price. Walter

Several of you at Montauk commented on the red dive boat that came in and was held at the Coast Guard Station on the weekend. No one knew why. Yesterday's East Hampton Star reported that the boat that took divers to the wreck of the Andria Doria lost one of the divers. His body was found in 250 ft o...

Kevin- Congratulations and good luck. All the best! Walter

That group of 8-9 boats all running together on Sunday morning morning was certainly beautiful! Don't know how it looked from the camera boat, but from my bridge it was spectacular. The Golden Retriever belongs to Gerald McLaughlan who runs the Lone Gull out of Southampton. We also had Timmy's Choco...

Great pictures John- Many thanks! Walter

There was a thread on this before and no one ever mentioned a $1200 tent/bomb solution. I think thats overkill by a lot. Walter

Terry-Brewster won one of the Tred Barta T-shirts you donated and a bottle of stain remover and boat soap from Interlux. We're all wondering if they will ever be used. He almost pulled a Thuddd getting to his boat on Saturday evening, but miraculously recovered by the AM. Early Sunday morning Timmy ...

I got this from Chuck Schumer. Nothing from Hillary though. Dear Mr. Kaprielian: Thank you for your letter in support of S. 2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. You will be happy to know that I am sponsoring this bill. Recreational boating is an important part of New Yorkâ€™s economy, and it is a wo...

The site I keep getting now is the site missing 2 pages of the NE Rendezvous. I used to get this site every once in a while before, but now after not being able to get any site earlier in the day, I only can get this one...the one I don't want. Not helpful, the night before the Rendezvous. If I've m...

Further input: Some on the above list have not let me know if they will be attending our Clambake. As I should be letting Brewster know how many meals to provide, I would appreciate some yeas/nays/checks soon. I contacted the Montauk Chamber of Commerce and they have provided me with materials about...

Also, Happy Father's Day to the father of this site that has bought us much knowledge, joy, and great friendships with our other brothers in Bertram. Happy Father's Day to Big Daddy Captain Patrick! Walter

We had Montauk's "Blessing of the Fleet". Had a cockpit full of guests enjoying themselves. Randall and his wife among them. Took our turn and got blessed by a priest, minister & rabbi and proceeded to the inlet about 1-200 yards away. It had been a sunny day up to then and started greying in the no...

My starboard side faces west in my slip. The chine sits an inch into the water at the stern due to the Cummins and the heavy teak deck. The constant sunshine causes a growth of grasses at that edge that becomes a nusance to fight with all season. This season I applied Max Wax on that chine edge. The...

Dug- When you come to the Rendezvous, Montauk Marine still has the granular cleaner and the brightener but no oil/sealer gallons. It was through them that I found out Tip Top has disappeared off the face of the earth. Walter

In Memory Walter K

Just thought it was the polite thing to do.

For the past four days or so, I've been having problems logging out after a session on the site. It takes a looong time, if at all. Anyone else or is it just my machine? Walter

Mikey- Have someone push the throttle while you look at the engine. Youll see the cable arm push a lever back and forth. There's a set screw on it that acts as a stop. Backing off or tightening adjusts the idle. You can set your engines to 650-700 rpm at idle. You'll like it a lot better when dockin...

Screws right onto it with a threaded post and nut that a power wire goes on. It's not a big module. When powered, the tip pops out and stops up the fuel line so no fuel reaches the injectors.

A lot of people have used oven cleaner which bubbles the paint off. I'm pretty sure you'll hear from a few of the guys that have done it. I think Harv has. Walter

I have 6BT 210's in my 31. I have 1 3/8" shafts. I have key switches and the engines start and stop instantly when I use them. There is a pull shut-off on the engines, but used only when (and if) off your shut-off module fails. Walter

Has anyone else had the site being very slow to respond when you end reading a thread and click to go back to the discussion board? My computer normally did it instantly, but for the past day it's been so slow, I've had to leave the site and come back to it. Trying to figure out if it's my machine o...

I always maneuver to try to keep the angler directly in line with the fish, but really don't like backing down hard on a fish. If I do, I back down slowly. In fact, you're using heavy tackle on a giant, you're tiring the fish as a boat the size of ours isn't as much of a threat of breaking off as a ...

Drove to Brewster's to sample his recommended "Lobster Bake" that he has offered to provide the Faithful at the event at his cost. It was spectacular! Clams, steamers, mussels and shrimp, followed by a whole Lobster and an ear of corn. You'd like it at any cost! The shellfish alone was a meal in its...

Eddie Murray in the Heyday of Giants off Montauk and Block used to say that if it takes you more than 20 minutes to land a giant, the fish is winning...(and the flesh is changing). The Japanese who came to the dock used to core them by the tail to taste the eat and decide value. He always got top do...

The waters on Memorial Weekend Saturday at Montauk are usually like the Invasion of Normandy. Yesterday's weather was beautiful and the distribution of boats was sparse at best. The Town Marina on Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton is half empty. People own the slips...just haven't put their boats in...

Dick...In the words of Lou Costello...you are a baaaaad boy! You saved the boat and yourself, but don't ever do that again. Glad all worked out OK. Walter
