Another case of money going to their head. Unfortunately, in sports these days so much money is involved that he will probably get away with it and go on with his career. It seems that sports figures can get away with just about anything these days.

Check the instructions and see what it says. Good luck!

Rawleigh

I don't know. If you put something good on them like CX or Rejex you may be OK. It just depends on the salt content of the water and how diligent you are at washing down.

Rawleigh

I guess its going to a good home anyway. Sorry Bruce!

Rawleigh

I think the wife did it!!!

Rawleigh

Hehe!!!

Rawleigh

Sweet!!!

Micro Mesh if they are scratched. or crazed. https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=206#14 Very good stuff!! Very uniform abrasive on a rubber backing.so that all of the abrasive scratches are uniform depth so that the next finer grit will remove all traces of the coarser grit (unlike san...

Rawleigh

That is correct Mike.

I've seen it for sale for a while but don't know anything about it. I'm sceptical of some of the claims they make about it re: engines.

Rawleigh

My check is in the mail today.

Rawleigh

Randall: I just hold the can with the lid held open in front of the bottle, give it a good blast staight out of the bottle (not too hard or it will be all over the shop) and drop the lid on it. Maybe I'm not going about it as scientifically as Pat is. When I saw the price they were charging for the ...

I made my 18" x 3' hatches from Starboard with Southco lift type latches. Surface mount hinges. So far they are great!! I made a plywood lip that was epoxied inside the hatch so that the door is flush with no frame around it. I have some poor quality JPEG pics of them that I can email if you want me...

Rawleigh

Duh! The guy who told me that was doing .303 Enfields. I engaged my typing fingers before my brain. For what its worth though dishwashers are also great for cleaning engine parts. Just get a used one for the shop as the wife may not appreciate its versatility!!

Any of you that haven't checked out Scot's website should! Lots of neat info on various diesels, including his favorite DD's, and balance issues for Bertrams. It really looks like he is doing an amazing job with the 25. Also it is an amazingly well put together website. Good job Scot!

Is "Aero Kroil" the same a plain ole "Kroil"? Its been around a long time.

I just got some of this stuff to try: http://strongarmsprays.com/

I will report on how it performs after I find a suitably difficult task for it. It may be crap for all I know, but I like to experiment.

Rawleigh

I'm not sure. Capt. Pat would be the one to ask. As long as they fit the rudder stock, are the same length and aren't too long, I don't see why it would matter that much.

Rawleigh

Bruce: Believe it or not I have heard that the dishwasher does wonders removing cosmoline from the old stocks. I don't know if I would have the nerve to try it though! Maybe try it on a cast off piece first. The oil can soak pretty deep in those stocks. Whiting and acetone can help clean up any soak...

Rawleigh

Wow, that might go cheap. And it's not that far away. It is just below Annapolis, MD. I wonder if Doug Knows about it?

Rawleigh

Mine screwed out, but it took some working back and forth to get it free. The threads are probably corroded. There is a half round piece behind the screw that forms the outer half of the ball coupling. As I recall the body of the fitting forms the other half. I think persistence and time to allow th...

I've never seen pneumatic contorls on such a small boat. The 100+ foot Menhaden fishing boats around here use them. Seems overly complicated and prone to failure on a small boat. Don't know about the engines. Sounds like a "marinization" company.

Rawleigh

yea, as an example of what not to do when you grow up!!!! LOL

Capt Patrick McCrary 834 Scott Dr. LLANO, TX 78643 We shoot for $100.00 each, but we all give what we can. Some give more, some give less, depending on their ability. We figure it is a cheap price to pay for the troubles and expenses that can be avoided with the advice and knowledge available here.

Rawleigh

Happy B-day Vic! Mikey, is that the Irish spelling?

Rawleigh

Bruce: Just curious as to what the effect of swapping the reverse rotation to the opposite side. I know on outdrive boats you can change the transom lift depending on which way the prop rotates. Does that operate the sme on inboards?

Rawleigh

Pat: What color does the 292 come in?

Rawleigh

Glen: Does that answer your question?

Rawleigh

Definately in!!

Rawleigh

That sounds about right. Might be time to fire up another round. What say you Uncle Vic?

Rawleigh

Jeff: Glad to hear you passed the Dog Test!! Happy engines and a happy dog - what a great ending!!

Rawleigh

Mike: Are you going to have them re-anodized or just wax them often?

Rawleigh

Gunstock? Wet sand with 400 grit using the tung oil as lubricant after you get some layers built up. I had great results this way, but it takes a lot of coats. 0000 steel or bronze wool will take the shine off to a nice matte finish.

Rawleigh

Don't worry, that'll buff right out Randall!!

Rawleigh

Walter: Do you remember when we last antied up? It might be time we all did again.

Rawleigh

I would like one as well. rawleigh@kaballero.com. Check the strainer screen behind the elbow where the bottom hose comes out of the tranny into the tranny cooler. It could be stopped up. Metal filings doesn't sound good! Here is their website:

Rawleigh

Is the boat going to be repaired?

Rawleigh

Don't use 5200 on the windows!! Capt. Pat uses Sikaflex.

Rawleigh

I'll never forgive you for that Mikey!!

Rawleigh

You better make that "the tub" or he will show up on someone elses!!

Rawleigh

No Matt, that would be a tequilla bottle with a skirt on it!!

Rawleigh

John: The other thing is that you should use a tach/dwell meter or optical tach to check the tach readings. They could easily be off by 200 rpm's.

Rawleigh

John: Do it systematically. Before you do anything else, swap carbs and see if the problem changes sides. Edelbrocks are Carter AFB clones. Very simple and reliable.

Rawleigh

Did they ever make any of these 24' "Pop-up" Barons? Sorry for the long URL

They offer a cord "kit" to hook them together.

Nothing yet. We went and looked at it, but he would not say what he would take for it if the auction didn't meet reserve. He thinks he has a gold mine. He is a marine engineer! Need I say more. Strange fellow. Says he will redo it himself if it doesn't sell. It needs $10,000 to $20,000 spent on it a...

Rawleigh

I noticed that high dollar helm seat! I've sat in them and priced them at the Miami show, so I know how fine they are and how fine Stidd thinks they are!!

Rawleigh

Good to know Russ. What kind of engines do you have and how many hours?

Rawleigh

Hardcore!! Looks like a Penn ad!

Rawleigh

Sort of like the 31, eh? I am going down to look at it this afternoon, and will report back what I find!
