Ouch!!!

Rawleigh

I am interested in this boat. I am going to talk to the owner tomorrow and may go to see it tomorrow night. Wish me luck and please don't bid against me. Any suggestions on a fair price?

Rawleigh

I love those rear windows too!!

Rawleigh

Check with your dealer to see if a factory kit is available for your model. if not a good AC guy could probably put one together for you. I just replace the starting capacitor on the heat pump on my house and it was a $28.00 part. The trick is getting the right size for your unit and how to wire it ...

Rawleigh

If that is the case, how about two midsize vents, one at each end of the tank, so it can cross ventilate?

Rawleigh

Kevin: Aside from the polarity issue, do you have a hard start kit on the compressor? It is a starting capacitor that helps get the compressor turning over at startup. It might be manufactured with them. Bruce can advise you on that.

Rawleigh

That depends on whether you are really going to use it or not!

Rawleigh

Beautiful!!

Rawleigh

Lets do it Mikey!!

Rawleigh

All right, I give, what is a Mola?

Rawleigh

Sorry I missed you John. Next time we will go out and have some fun. I think I got all of my drive line issues straightened out today, so creek cruises are in the near future!!

Rawleigh

Looks Great!!

Rawleigh

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I will be able to do the creek cruise. Sorry!

Rawleigh

Mikey has got you covered on the hotels! Too bad the Miss Anne is up on the ways, as it is a blast to go out on. I will be in town Friday. If I get my engines lined up this week and get the boat back home I will give you a boat ride. (804) 761-0892.

Rawleigh

Greg: I have the factory drawings of the factory cradle with all of the angle specs in a pdf file if you want it. The drawing came with my '66 from the factory.

Rawleigh

Sort of like the Standards of Learning tests (acronym - SOL)

Rawleigh

Since you have two engines, first swap the coil and see if the problem switches side, then swap the ignition module.

Rawleigh

What type of electronic ignition is it? HEI? I would look at the ignition module as well. Actually, the first thing I would do is wait until Bruce chimes in, as he can usually put his finger right on it!

Rawleigh

No wonder he is enjoying retirement so much!!

Rawleigh

Sweet!!

Rawleigh

Sorry Bruce, didn't mean to traumatize you!!

Rawleigh

Sounds like it would be a lot easier and cheaper to have it done while they are out of the boat! Why did they take them out?

Rawleigh

UV: Does that solution involve G-man's East Cost associates performing a body cavity search on Thudd?? Run Timmy, Run!!

Rawleigh

John: When you install it hold the body of the pump higher than the lever, so if the rod is slowly creeping downward in the grease, the lever will come in under it and push it back up.

Rawleigh

My 440's have that too Scot.

Rawleigh

Otherwise you have a serious fire hazard if the diaphram ruptures and your insurance carrier may deny the claim!!

Rawleigh

Uh Oh, hitting him right where he lives. . .

Rawleigh

Mike Dolan with Lightningshack is up there.

Rawleigh

Beautiful gun, ugly guy!! (Sorry Mike, I couldn't help it! Timmy made me do it!)

Rawleigh

Scott is right. On my 440's the port engine turns counterclockwise view from the rear, and the starboard one turns clospckwise. I think around the 80's they all went to clockwise rotation and made the direction change in the trans. What kind of engines do you have?

Rawleigh

I think this says it all:

Rawleigh

I used starboard and have had no problems with them.

Rawleigh

I have Bose in the cockpit and a powered bass tube in the overhead under the flybridge. I want to add speakers on the bridge.

Rawleigh

John: Glad that Marine Clean is working for you! I guess you found out that you don't want to breathe the mist when you spray it! I just painted the inside of my engine compartment with POR15 Hardnose White while I had the engine out. Boy does that brighten things up!! It does take two coats, but it...

Rawleigh

Mercruiser uses that system, with the dipstick tube going all the way to the bottom of the pan. Theirs is threaded also. Sorry I don't know any particulars on the Yanmars for you Ernest, but you might try a Mercruiser adapter. It almost looks like garden hose threadson those.

Rawleigh

There is an interesting book out called "Resource Wars". Interesting reading. I thimk we are losing the fight!

Rawleigh

Steve: I hate to state the obvious, but I assume you have checked for power at the switch. If you have it jump across the switch and see if they light. If not, go to the DC panel.

Rawleigh

Dave: Try soft Scrub with bleach or Marine Clean on it!!

Rawleigh

I love my awlgrip nonskid!!

Rawleigh

Mikey: If you drive your truck, would you pick up my flybridge windshield from Doug for me? Let me know if you can, thanks.

Rawleigh

Brewster: What kind of power does that thing draw?

Rawleigh

Andre, you ought to get in the title insurance biz then!! The agents here are getting up to 70% of the premium!!

Rawleigh

Glad you liked it Matt.

Rawleigh

Where did you get the donkey stats Mikey?

Rawleigh

Mikey: I've had a pair of AGM Orbital batteries in my boat for six years. They are still going strong. They are sealed and do nor offgas. Of gassing of lead acid batteries because of a charger problem is what corroded all of the hardware in my cabin (even with the batteries betwen the engines). I'll...

Rawleigh

Marine Clean by POR 15. Amazing stuff!! Expensive, but worth it.

Rawleigh

Congratulations! I love those numbers!!

Rawleigh

Got it in yesterday, and today learned all about alignment. We did it in my friend's overbuilt boathouse with a Ramsey 5000 lb winch. No problem. I trailered his Carolina Skiff to my place, loaded the engine with my excavator, then launched the Skiff and ran it up the creek to the boathouse. Those s...

Rawleigh

Bruce: The gas in the tank is shot! I was attributing it to detonation caused by low octane, but as I hadn't tuned up the engines yet this year timing could have contributed to it too. The machinist said there was a little slack in the timing chain as well. Its all new now though!! Thanks for the ad...

Rawleigh

Alex: Get the Mercruiser manuals. My friend who runs Mercruisers asked if they are the ones with the red buttons on them. He says he thinks you may have a grounding issue with them. They always have 12 volts running through them until you cut off the switches. I'll check it out further and let you k...
