And a younger crew who have some idea of what to do if water comes in!!

Rawleigh

John: Find your local Parker-Hannifin distributor. They will have or can get you everything you need.

Rawleigh

If it was a 28 you could use spotted Hyena fur!!

Rawleigh

I also like that 6 port fuel valve that handles both the suction and return lines for diesels or F/I gassers!

Rawleigh

Sound like handy people to have around in an emergency!!! Rags or shirts stuffed in the scuppers can do pretty good job of slowing the watter to a manageable flow.

Rawleigh

John: The Groco full port ball valve seacock is the best I've ever seen. Pricey, but excellent. I have one of those and one Apollo (my old standby brand). The Groco is hands down better. West sells them, but they are pricey! I have the SBV. http://www.groco.net/08-CD-BURN/GROCO%20CAT/CAT-BRWSR/sec-4...

Rawleigh

Ernest: You might try Labmetal as a filler. it is one part, but seems to be at least equal to epoxy fro filling. They even have a high temp that can be powdercoated. I would at least run a drill bit in any pits to clean out the corrosion.

Harv: It would be great if it really worked!

Rawleigh

I left the stock strainers too, but have never seen anything in them. I think they may be overkill.

Rawleigh

Timbor or other Borate based product should work well. Mix them with water in a garden sprayer and coat all of the wood. It crystallizes like sugar water on the wood. It also kills rot spores. It is water based, so it will wash off if you hit it directly with water. It is the most environmentally fr...

Rawleigh

Use just the stainless!! Looks great! Remember, you won't have 500 watts shining directly on it in the office.

Rawleigh

Outside Ggroco wedge type strainers.

Rawleigh

Dang, that is common!

Rawleigh

Mikey: Would you snag me a copy while you are at it?

Rawleigh

Dang Walter! Does that mean you can't eat it fi the fishing is poor!!!

Rawleigh

Wow, that is tragic!

Rawleigh

Looking good Harry! I bet that was nerve racking!

Glad all of you guys in the deep South are OK. It has been a tough Spring weather wise, but at least the drought is broken! Now if it will just rain normally this summer. . . !

Rawleigh

Way to go Roland!! That is a big promotion!!!! You deserve it. We want pics of your new command when you get it!

Rawleigh

I'd like to have seen the look on their faces when they saw that!! And restrict access to the video to management!! I bet those miners wouldn't have gone back in the shaft if they saw it! I know I wouldn't have!

Rawleigh

I use a Xantrex Trucharger that has an AGM setting. My Exides have lasted 7 years now!

Rawleigh

Back in the 70's the batteries in my B31 were boiled by a charger. It corroded almost all of the metal work in the cabin. I have only recently been bringing some of it it back to a good shine!

Rawleigh

I mounted mine like drifter did. Back mounted SS glycerin filled gauges are not very expensive from industrial supply places.vacuum

Rawleigh

You will look great having a cocktail at the dock though!!

Rawleigh

I wonder if they will still produce it given the current economic environment in the marine industry!

Rawleigh

Timmy: Sorry to hear that you think of your boat as a Hyundia!!

Rawleigh

I expected to see Randall wading down the dock with the alligator following him!! Yes, I remember the head on Painkiller! Looking through to the water with the marshbugs running over your feet and up your legs! Not conducive to taking care of your business, but at least no one hogged the bathroom! A...

Rawleigh

This is my best kept secret! I discovered this use for it last year. Put it in a spray bottle straight and spray it on the chrome. Rub with FINE bronze wool and wipe off! Very easy. I did my very corroded engine turned dash with it and it now looks presentable! I was thinking about repackaging it fo...

Rawleigh

I put a hatch in my overhead and built a large shelf up under the flybridge. i doubled the stringers and laid down plywood. it is strong enough that a friend of mine (with a smaller girth) can get up in there and work. It is s great place for installing remote electronics and storing bulky items. i ...

Rawleigh

I added the auto temperature sensor and remote status panel to mine. I have a FBC and I installed the status panel on the back of my lower helm seat, where I can see it from the dock. That way I can verify the battery status before unplugging from the shore without making the extra steps of getting ...

Rawleigh

Glad to help!!

Rawleigh

I love my Awlgrip nonskid in my cockpit! 7 years and it still looks great!

Rawleigh

I've had a Xantrex Trucharger on my Exide Orbital AGM's for 7 years and they are still good!!

Rawleigh

According to my Floscan I'm getting about 0.85 nmpg with 440 Chryslers cruising at 21knots.

Rawleigh

Penetrol!

Rawleigh

What they don't say is the increase in fertilizer prices, diesel and other inputs also causes the price of food to rise with or without Ethanol, etc. Not that I'm supporting ethanol, but it is not the sole culprit. The rest of the world will blame the US no matter what the problem or the cause.

Kevin: Check out the Biodiesel board at the Diesel stop.

Famous last words in the South:

"Hold my beer and watch this . . . "

Rawleigh

Sometimes the zincs will swell as the corrode and won't fit back through the hole. The bronze plug just unscrews off of the zinc. You have to remove the endcap to get them out. Use a smaller zinc if you have this problem.

Rawleigh

The flimsy ones are standard Sendure gaskets, just like the ones on my Chryslers.

Rawleigh

An interesting site with facts about diesel additives. Note especially the page about HFRR values. 2% soy kicked all of the other additives' butts.

Rawleigh

Let me know how it works!! I've been keeping an eye on it but haven't bought one yet. Good luck!

Rawleigh

I didn't know you couldn't use heating oil!! What do they care? There must still be some tax on offroad diesel that isn't on heating oil. the only thing that gets the government wound up like that is lost revenue!!

Rawleigh

Mikey has been through this! Hopefully he will chime in with the answer.

Rawleigh

I love mine. I don't even put the other ladder on the boat!

Just remember to "burp: them on launch and to occasionally push the bellows back in the water to clean the seal surface of any debris. Sand is not your friend with them!! Other than that I love mine!

Rawleigh

Some over the road trucks have a self changing oil system that weeps fuel oil into the fuel tank and replaces it with fresh oil from a holding tank. Then of course there were the Detroits, but that was an entirely different self changing mechanism. They put it on the ground for dust control!!

Rawleigh

It really cuts the fish guts good and feels great when striper fishing in the wintertime. Half of my Sendure water goes out through an outlet on the side of the hull, and I added a tee in that line for the supply. I was a little hesitant about plumbing into the intakes as well, but I tried it on the...
