Good luck to all our Brothers in the path of Henri!!

Rawleigh

Strong soap and a pressure washer with a slanted end is what I have used. They work much better if they are heated.

Rawleigh

After he threw the guard's rifle overboard! Duh!

Rawleigh

For some reason I cannot get the pictures to open on my computer.

Rawleigh

I see they forgot to turn on the keys to the lower station at first! LOL

Rawleigh

Rick, Welcome to the board. Please come!! You will be surprised how welcoming the group is! You will be among brothers and kindred spirits I assure you. A nicer more welcoming group you will not find. If I come, I too will be boatless, but it does not matter. You will regret it if you don't come, pl...

Rawleigh

I'm jealous!!!

Rawleigh

Harv: Good to hear from you! Are you going to be able come down to the St. Michael's Rendezvous and get a Bertram ride?

Rawleigh

Mikey: I was thinking about our jaunt through New Orleans on the way to UVII the other day too. What fun! Now we are missing UV, Walter, Terry and I am sure others who were there. Time marches on and spares no one!

Rawleigh

With the speed you make Bob, I would continue south under the Bay Bridge and enter the mouth of the river.

Rawleigh

I wondered what you had been up to! Are you talking about St. Michaels in September? It talked to John Hazzard on Friday. He is planning on going up Thursday I believe. I have been working on replacing some of the sills under my boathouse so the boat has been neglected. Long overdue boat house maint...

Rawleigh

Synthetic or fossil oil both lubricate the same to my knowledge. Synthetic is just all the “stuff” is exactly the same allowing it to last longer. My understanding of hydraulic oil is it is the same as motor oil but without the goop that makes it flow better when cold, it also does not have deterge...

Rawleigh

Glad it worked for you John! As UV used to say "The enemy of good is better!" I believe in KISS.

Rawleigh

I did a one piece glassed in plywood cored deck in the early 2000's with a non-skid Awlgrip finish.. It has been great, but I still have the fiberglass tank. If it ever has to come out I will go back over the deck with a Sea Deck type material.

Rawleigh

Roddy: Thanks for all the hard work. maybe I missed it, but what are the dates in September?

Rawleigh

Wow, looking through this old post and seeing UV and Walter brings back some bittersweet memories. And now Bob is gone! us site old timers are slowly fading away I am afraid. We need to support the new blood on the site!

Rawleigh

Make sure everything is sealed up tight and go with it.

Rawleigh

Have you tried it with the aircleaners off?

Rawleigh

You have got nothing to lose John. I might try it on my Morse cables as well as my original steering cable. I figure oil cannot hurt! The guy in the video was using synthetic oil which I don't agree with. It is fine in an engine or gearbox, but in my experience it is not worth a damn for lubing anyt...

Rawleigh

Man, I am sorry to hear about Bob!!! But I have to say that is the way i want to go when my time comes up! Doing something I love. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family. Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Lenco can set you up with fresh water cooling. Great guys to work with.

Rawleigh

Good to hear from you Pete!!

Rawleigh

If I were Evergreen I would want my money back!!!!!!! Where is Uncle Vic when you need him!

Rawleigh

Sweet! I have been praying for you and your family Bob! Glad to see you got some helm time!!

Rawleigh

What make transmissions? It could be as simple as a broken spring in the flex plate. I had a friend who had Hurth 630's(?) that sounded like it had a handful of gravel in them at low speed. They naturally sound like that.

Rawleigh

I second that!

Rawleigh

Boat US. They use Gieco but insure mine.

Rawleigh

That figures!

I am going to Emerald Isle Beach with the family the week before the 4th, So I expect it to arrive at about the same time! Last year when I took my vacation to the mountains we had a hurricane!

Rawleigh

I understand being overwhelmed! I look forward to an update when you get back to it.

Rawleigh

You need to keep turning the wheel when it is against the stop to get the air burped out of the bypass valves.

Rawleigh

Have you used it any more on your project??

Rawleigh

I always put it around the screws to make them watertight. If your base is a good fit, just put the 4200 under it. If not, bed the strut in thickened epoxy first to fill any voids. Don't skimp on the release agent, or better yet, cover the strut flange with packing tape so it doesn't stick! Also don...

Rawleigh

Ouch! Not much room to work in there either. How long is that canal and when was it dug. I have seen pictures of cruise ships going through it. Not much room for error!

Rawleigh

Carl: Borrow a bunch of coolers and fill them with water to load her. You can accurately figure the weight that way.

Rawleigh

Carl: Mine is the back mounted double tank model. Thanks for the offer though.

Rawleigh

I got my wife one of those Hobie pedal kayaks. Pretty neat rig! at least you will be in shape when the motors arrive!!! My buddy's are getting hung Thursday.

Rawleigh

Thanks Richard. I have their oil and transmission coolers. I will definitely look at them if I have to buy new.

Rawleigh

Does anyone have a Sendure 2350-1-5 off of a 440 Chrysler they want to get rid of? Mine has finally started to leak in at least one of the tubes. I thought I would check to see if anyone had one from a repower before I parted with $1,100 + hard earned dollars! Thanks.

Rawleigh

I have missed looking at this thread for a while. My friend just heard that his motors may be in this week. He ordered them 1st of October.

Rawleigh

Hang in there Tony! Maybe you can sit and drink a beer while someone else runs the boat. It sucks, but at least is is repairable. Bob, I think about you often. I went through that with my mother, but I know it is probably harder with your life partner. Just know we are all praying for both of you. K...

Rawleigh

YEAAAAA!!!! A future steward for the Bertram!

Rawleigh

Well, you are both smiling so you must have had fun! Congratulations! It has been a long time coming! LOL!

Rawleigh

It should have a midships drain as stated, but you can also drill a hole in the transom for a garboard plug. You probably should connect it to the bonding system before you launch.

Rawleigh

If that doesn't show the problem, swap carbs side to side and see if it follows the carb. Then do the same thing with the coils. On second thought maybe do the coils first since they are the easiest swap.

Rawleigh

What Frank said!! It is the good thing about having twin engines!

Rawleigh

Yannis: Your English is really good. You ought to hear my Greek (not)!!

Rawleigh

I have an original in the closet that needs some work and TLC. Another "Someday" project!

Rawleigh

I have an old school doorbell on mine up under the bridge that will wake the dead!

Rawleigh

Yannis: On the old time Chesapeake Bay wooden deadrise work boats they were known as "settling boards". They kept the stern from settling or squatting under power..
