I should have known you had a better way of doing it!!!!

Vic must be on vacation! This is right up his alley!!

I plumbed my washdown and livewell off of the engine intakes. I kept the tee close to the seacock and I have never had any trouble with them sucking air or depriving the engines of adequate water I do have valves on them so that I can isolate them if necessary. I have 11/2" intakes necked down to 11...

I just put a tank full of B100 in the truck on Monday. It always amazes me how quiet it runs on straight Bio!! You can burn that in the Summer, you could go with the stock B20. It will take care of the lubricity issues, but you will need to be mindful of the bugs and add biocide. I have tried Bio-bo...

ASSUMING THAT THE LOWER MANIFOLD IS FRESHWATER COOLED. Use the blockoff plates and two standard gaskets. Use Aviation Permatex on the gaskets. DO NOT USE RTV. There is a gasket that supposedly does it all. DO NOT USE IT. It will fail within 5 - 10 hours and trash your engine. This comes from several...

Can you get to the sides of the stringer? If so you can cross drill it for a 2" or larger dowel thru the center of the stringer. Make sure that the dowel stands slightly proud of the fiberglass on each side of the stringer. Coat the dowel with epoxy and insert in stringer. Get lag bolts that are lon...

That is basically what I have, but mine is not self tailing. It is a Lawrence.

Something to think about with the new diesel:

Mine are mahogany. If I had to replace them I would go with the fiberglass structure pieces like Sim did! http://www.mcmaster.com/ Or get the Cabrerras package like Mikey did! My deck is Marine plywood glassed on all six sides and painted with Awlgrip nonskid. The oversize hatches are trimmed in Tac...

I have just a rope capstan to pull in my anchor. It is not as convenient, but I get to keep my Bowchock and it fits in my boathouse easier! The downside, of course is having to go up on the bow to anchor. I use rope rode with a chain at the anchor.

Rawleigh

It should be on the way to all of you.

Bill: For some reason my server does not seem to like your email address. The email gets kicked back. Sorry. Do you have another available?

Rawleigh

Don't forget to wear your Beanie, Sean!! It's sooo cute!! Now if they could just put that into a pickup truck . . .

Rawleigh

JP: Nik . . . Nik!!

Rawleigh

I was just kidding with Mikey too!! He would understand, having been around some of the stuck up Virginians in Richmond!!

Rawleigh

Our solution? Ask higher prices!! I don't mind selling for more to
Europe!!

Rawleigh

I just ordered 3 for myself.

Rawleigh

Have you looked at the Garmin Mikey?

Rawleigh

Dick: Did it work?

The advantage to hydrogen fuel cells is that you don't have to wait overnight to charge the thing. Electric cars are fine about town, but on the road they are handicapped by range and charge time. Something in between that used batteries around town and hydrogen on the road may be more practical (re...

Rawleigh

Then you are forgiven . . . the exigencies of war!!! Very patriotic of her to suffer such an indignity!! (No offense to the Texans here)

Rawleigh

I just sent one to you Walter.

Hydrogen would be great if there were an energy neutral way to produce it. Right now it is either produced from hydrocarbons or electrolysis, neither of which gives a positive energy balance. Burning coal to produce electricity to product hydrogen is not an environmentally friendly alternative. Nucl...

My God Mickey!! Say it isn't so. . .

Bill: Give me your email and I will send you a PDF. Rawleigh

We can cook near 'bout anything you know!!

"give me fishing or give me dishtowel" LOL Now that is funny, I don't care who you are!!!

I think I am becoming a "Howdy Boater" like UV now!! If he can do I don't feel so bad about it!! Cocktail cruises here i came!!

Rawleigh

Those are Sea Stops. I have them on my boat too and like them.

Or use the single engine to dual prop gearbox that Mastry was offering. Go with one big Yanmar running both props. You could retain the twin engine handling, but would lose the twin engine redundancy. With modern diesels that may not be a big issue. He could then build the center console into the en...

Very sorry to hear that Harv. I lost my Dad in 1999 to cancer. No one who has not been through it would understand this, but at the time it was a blessing. Time will dull the pain of the loss and amplify your memories of the good times. Hang in there my friend, we are all with you.

Rawleigh

Harv: Who is your insurance with. I would be interested in hearing more on how you got paid for the tank replacement. I will be having to do it soon.

Rawleigh

I had a discussion with my fuel supplier today, and he says that by May we will all have ethanol. He is trying to find supplies of non ethanol to supply his marina clients, but it doesn't look good. I guess I will be cutting up my deck and pulling my nice fiberglass tank soon, damn it!

Rawleigh

Pete: You have intermediate struts on a 31? I have never seen that!!

Rawleigh

That is a scary mass of metal to have flying around like that!!! Nice late though!! Or is it a turning center?

Rawleigh

Has anyone tried one of these?

Truly astounding!!

Timbor or any other borate based product will take them out. it coats the surface of the wood like sugar water. It is water bases, so it can be washed off. We use it for powderpost beetles and carpenter ants too. It also stops rot, as it kills fungus, etc. It is nontoxic to humans. Mix it up in a ga...

Bob: I bid on a Baron in VA Beach that had a 427 with transmission and Alpha drive in it! It was a tight fit and they did have to cut deck in front of the engine hatch, but it was in there!! It floated a little low in the back. A built small block would have been a better setup for that boat.

You've got to love the label on the Devtar!! It must be good if it is "For professional essential public service use" !!!

I never got to meet him, but I did enjoy his pavilion! Bon Voyage to a good friend of The Faithful! We should all be so lucky as to go that way, but I am sure it was very hard on his wife not being able to say goodbye. Daryl is another wonderful person. They were lucky to have him around at a time l...

Bob: There is a system out that is a surface drive and rudder combo built into a drive box that bolts to the transom. I cannot remember their name right now, but I think it is a neat system that would directly replace a stern drive. It has a little swim platform on top of the box too. The motor woul...

Bob: I assume you mean a type of drive shower?

Use diesel truck antifreeze that has SCA in it to prevent cavitation erosion to the piston liners.

Rawleigh

Put a bilge diaper under it and forget it!

I've had good luck using Deks Olje. Use 3-4 coats of the gloss and bronze wool it to make it dull. When it does inevitably need refinishing it can be lightly sanded and touched up.

An annoying, nasty PITA, but not a cause to worry about sudden failure.
