Did you get Charman Enterprises?

In Memory Walter K

Those red throttle arms have extensions on them that might be hard to remove. I was told Charman Enterprises bought all of Morse's inventory when they were bought by Teleflex, and would be the best (and perhaps only) place to find replacements.

In Memory Walter K

I have the exact same ones and You can take the cover (hood) off as well as the arms and have them chromed. Then just reassemble. The "Guts" can stay where they are. Just mark what goes with what and keep everything in a similar position as it will be a while before you'll get the chromed parts back...

Calm as in shock....

I learned something today. Never too old....

In Memory Walter K

Try a cup of Kosher salt, A cup of light brown sugar (or dark), two cups of water, a bay leaf or two, a liberal amount of garlic powder, ground black pepper and a sprinkling of pickling spices (purchased in the spices area in your local supermarket). I sometimes also throw in a shot of Bourbon. Stir...

What's better than that? Congratulations! Walter

All the best!

Mike- Although I am sure your family wishes it never happened, It's one helluva way to start the new year! The successful surgery gives her a bunch more new years celebrations instead of a ticking time bomb! Our best wishes for a speedy recovery. Everyone can bitch about American Healthcare, but the...

Take a look at the arms. Mine have a piece below the red/black knobs that are removable. I discovered that when I was replacing the knobs and when unthreading them, one of the extensions threaded off with the knob. I always thought the arms were one-piecers. Mine aren't.

There's an old guy in Grand Cayman who has won several of The Cayman Islands Marlin Tournaments in his 16'7" Boston Whaler center Console fishing alone. It's a little more than the boat and the equipment.

In Memory Walter K

You want to watch a cockpit crew work as a team? Go fly fishing for Pacific Sailfish at Tropic Star or Guatemala. These guys troll hookless baits and tease the fish right up to the transom so you can cast to them. They ask whether you're right or left handed when they set out the teaser baits and ou...

Who even THINKS of putting bulbs in places like these without a system of changing/replacing them without the risk of life and limb?

In Memory Walter K

Happy New Year to all of you. You made 2010 easier to bear. All the best!

Bob- You live in Massachusetts. The quality of your elected officials are only matched or exceeded by those in California and New York. They know how to complain, not compliment.

In Memory Walter K

Bravo Wilson! I'll bet they could get them made much cheaper in China. What and where would those people who have worked there for so many years go? Who would employ them, and where? What is missing today is Corporate Conscience, and it seems Wilson has it! Buy American, even if it costs more! Not d...

Cripple America? Knock out the power grids. Fuel will no longer be the energy problem because you wouldn't be able to pump it. In 48 hours all the batteries will have run down on cell phones, laptops, etc. Then, let the games begin!

JP- If you're lucky, one (or more) of your kids will want to become Vets! Thought those Mountain dogs loved snow. My Lab sure as hell does! Walter

OK JP-130 Lb PIA?

So sorry to hear that news. He'll be with you every time you turn the key and those engines turn over. Our condolences. Walter

In Memory Walter K

All the best. Beautiful boat. Sorry about the cracking. Once solved, she'll be as close to perfect as you wanted.

In Memory Walter K

Sort of tight wiring openings with no chafing protection.

The poor guy was whipped out of his seat. Nothing short of a seat belt would have kept him there. The only one hurt was him. Let him rest in peace. Think back and every one of us who have run our boats back in rough water have experienced a situation that could have ended in tragedy. Who is suing?.....

In Memory Walter K

I'm so glad that the Postal Service came through and all the books made it before Christmas! Tom, I was especially worried about yours as they were the last batch I sent out. Glad they were well received by everyone! Although the gift giving season is over, the deal still stands for the bretheren. $...

In Memory Walter K

All the best to all the best that have owned the best. Here's hoping 2011 is better than 2010! Walter

Two different rudders don't help handling. I would like to hear what others think about my theory that two different length shafts could also create a vibration. My question is, are the shafts different lengths or are the engines mounted in different positions on each side? The distance the forward ...

In Memory Walter K

My thoughts completely. The boat looks very well maintained. The prop can of course create vibrations. So can a bad cutlass bearing. I wouldn't pull off a pair of shafts without doing those first. Rudders? That's an improvement fairly easily made and you'll be glad you did. Your first season of runn...

But it still means it CAN be done!

Is your present running gear non functional or in desperate need of replacement?

In Memory Walter K

Charlie and Dan Mckinney, got your checks today. Only a few more to go. Hope everyone got their books by now. Please let me know if you haven't. Walter

In Memory Walter K

I don't know how that self contained steam motor works, but if it can give an airplane a 400 mi range on 10 gallons of water, I'd think it might work great in a car. Quiet, too? Whooo-hoo!

In Memory Walter K

Exactly my point.

In Memory Walter K

I am impressed!

Makes you wonder about their concern for our fuel consumption on our cars. One Airbus takeoff uses a person's lifetime consumption in his car. Chasing the wrong bus?

They'd have a tough time explaining that piece of greenstick in their wing.

Times and rules have certainly changed. Back in the 90's, I did all the advertising and promotions for the Cayman Islands. Every June, for about 5-6 years, the FAA combined with the Coast Guard would hold an "Air Safety Week" there. The "Blue Angels" would come in to do an air show on one of those d...

Bob and Hueso-Glad to see the books made it on time to Hawaii and Puerto Rico in the midst of the Christmas mail rush. Got your checks today. Many thanks! Walter

In Memory Walter K

Yes, but that's what made it immovable. A sharp flex caused by coming off a wave has nowhere to go except crack at the weakest joint. I have a Sportsfisherman and some winters if she's not blocked up perfectly, midships cabinet doors really stick. In Spring, in the water they're perfect. Before gett...

In Memory Walter K

I agree with you that the redo done the way it was, left no room for hull flexing. I would not have a repair made to have it look the same way, ie: filling, fairing and painting, because in my opinion it would be a set-up for having the same thing happen again. Short of doing what one of our brether...

Tom, your books went out today. The bill will come separately. Ray, got your check. Thank you. Once I get all the payments, it looks like a nice sized donation can go to Captain Patrick for the site, thanks to all of you who purchased. Hope you all liked the book.

If you look up to "ordinary", you're in a hole you'll never get out of.

Mediocrity is it's own reward.

Tailhook Tom- Please send me your mailing address. The books are usually sent at the Post Offices Book Rate as it is the least expensive way to send them. It's getting close to Christmas and since I don't know where they have to go, should I send them another way to insure delivery by/before Christm...

Ed Curry- Got your check today. Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy!

Sure as hell choked me up. We need more of that spirit on our media and less dumb reality shows and talking heads! That spirit of patriotism is what I grew up with...and it stays with you!

In Memory Walter K

Charlie and Mike Pelham- I got your checks today. Many thanks! I will send the 2 additional books you asked for tomorrow (Thursday) Charlie. Ray, glad you liked the book and that it got to you in good shape. Walter

But a lot more torque and a lot less fuel consumption.

In Memory Walter K

Ethanol has been around long enough to have possibly degraded a fuel line just enough to let some air in too, if it's not made of the new stuff.
