When an impeller goes bad you should fit all of the pieces back together to make sure that you got all of them.

Rawleigh

That sounds like fun!! LOL!

Rawleigh

The purse boats for the menhaden fleet here use them to, but they are chunky locally built contraptions that would not allow you to plane. That is why I suggested a flip up type setup so you would not affect the handling and performance of the hull.

Rawleigh

How about a flip down pipe cage that is secured to the transom with pad eye hinges. Flip it up against the transom for running, down for fishing. You could use the same cleats to hold it up or down. Sort of like the flip out pipe extensions you see on pickup tailgates.

Rawleigh

Of course for $500.00 I could buy a nice used Marlin 444 or 458 Win. bolt action to deal with the bear at a reasonable range!

Rawleigh

We had the coolest, nicest 4th of July on the Chesapeake that I can remember. Breezy, but nice.

Rawleigh

The Edelbrocks are Carter AFB clones. I you need a rebuild, Carbs Unlimited does a good job on them. They replace yours with a rebuilt one that has been test run and has a 6 month warranty.

I agree, replace the handle with a pole maybe.

Keith for future reference a lot of the Sherwood pumps can have the front part attached to different cast rear housings. I did that on my Chrysler 440's. Depco Pump has a great selection and was helpful in my sorting out my problem. I went from a setup like yours with the inlet and outlet 180 degree...

Rawleigh

I have the Groco external strainers that I added to my existing setup with the internal strainers. I have not had to clean the internal strainers since I put them on. If I ever do anymore work to the intakes the internals are coming out. The only problem with the externals is that if the boat isn't ...

Any landing you can walk away from . . .!!

Rawleigh

Nice bit of boat handling!

Rawleigh

Also bond properly and coat regularly with CorrosionX.

Rawleigh

Wow, Carl!! i am glad my life is not as eventful as yours! At least you have a "proper" genset!! LOL! UV would be proud! Is that yours or did the insurance Co. provide it?

Rawleigh

In John's picture they are using 6 dollies as opposed to maybe three (I could tell how many were under the stern of the capsized yacht - only one under the bow) for the failed launch. Big difference.

Rawleigh

I have determined that I do not bounce like I used to.

Rawleigh

I bought expansion tanks from Advance Auto. Pretty cheap and easy. They come with a steel mounting bracket.

Rawleigh

That's right! You can't get rid of us that easily!! LOL! Once a part of the brotherhood always a part of the brotherhood, even if you don't have a boat! I know it is tough, but you have to do what you have to do! I am sure any one of us will be glad to give you a ride when you feel the need to get o...

Rawleigh

We love to poke each other in the eyes with sharp sticks occasionally, but that is the extent of it!!

Seriously though, as you noted, you won't find a greater group of people than this group. And thanks for noticing! UV and Capt Pat have trained us well!!

Rawleigh

I had the same thought Pete! Pretty scary! LOL!

I wonder how much that kayaker cost the taxpayer???

As for the wheelchair I agree with Pat!

Rawleigh

Kipp: You might point him towards Pete Fallon's boat.

Rawleigh

I don't know whose it is.

Just remember marine distributors are sealed unit. Don't just drop in a car distributor or you may create an explosion risk.

Rawleigh

The Velvet Drives are completely independent of the engine as far as operation. No electrical connections except for the neutral interlock switch which can be built into the shifter or mounted on the transmission.

Rawleigh

Carl: Back to your question, I had a friend who had a custom 38' Bartell with triple 501's that were producing a little over 500Hp each in their later renditions that used regular Bravo's. We never blew one up but did have to replace the bearings occasionally. We put drive showers on it and that hel...

I painted mine on the inside with a green magic marker as a temporary fix.

Here is another idea for dying the lens. Don't laugh at the source, it came up on a Google search.

And make sure it has a drive shower to keep the upper bearings cool.

Rawleigh

Charlie: Why not a 12 volt light bulb in a 110 volt base? then she could have the look but still be 12 volt.

Fiberglass structural pieces from Mcmaster Carr. Fiberglass C channel, etc.

Rawleigh

+1 on the Armstrong. It has enough outward angle to overcome the negative rake of the Bertram transom so that they are easy to climb and the bracket is unobtrusive. I don't know about the dog.

Rawleigh

That is the problem with this country. We have to GRIEVE over EVERYTHING . You don't grieve over a bad launch. You are upset and sorry, but GRIEVING??? I am with Bruce on this one. Also, you are launching a new boat and it starts to tip in the cradle. Do you (A) keep letting out on the winch to see ...

Rawleigh

As Bruce said, the stops are under the tag on those (at least on my original 1966 versions).

Rawleigh

Don't mess with him!!

Rawleigh

He will always live here and in our hearts.

Rawleigh

In the old days the patrons of the bar would have just whipped his ass for being disgusting!

Rawleigh

Mustang Auto inflate here.

Rawleigh

BTW how did that HF media blaster work? I gotta pick a new one up and I've heard mixed reviews. Bruce: I have one of those too. It works OK if you change the lower valve and outlet to a larger size, replace the hose and nozzle assembly with a real one with deadman's valve and replace the air regula...

I had a 13' Whaler and then graduated to a 17 Mako with a 75 Johnson on it. My third and fourth boats respectively. I went all over the lower Chesapeake Bay in that 17 Mako and even went most of the way over a brand new 20' Whaler back in 1988 that was owned by a friend's family! He was out in the m...

Rawleigh

No problems here that I have seen.

Rawleigh

Could you layup a fiberglass strip about the thickness of the crack on a flat surface and them cut it to width and epoxy it to either the bridge or the cap to reduce the amount of filler you have to gob in there? Or cut a rectangular strip out of a scrap boat to fill it. Or is it better to have a bi...

Rawleigh

John: You might check and see if you can't rent one.
