Yea, I am interested too! What an ordeal he has been through! Pete, if you need any help this weekend I have Saturday through Monday off and am only a couple hours drive from Baltimore!

Rawleigh

I use it in all of my two stroke engines. Cheaper than a rebuild and they start when I want the to.

Rawleigh

Godspeed Pete! I am only a couple of hours away if something happens and you need help. Don't hesitate to call on us!

Rawleigh

Odds are they will be fine for you! Take care of them but start a fund for mew engines so it won't hurt too bad if one goes south.

These guys were good when I got two Carters from them. They test run each carb on a 454 before shipment and have a 6 month warranty. I personally like the Carters (now Edelbrock). They are much simpler that other carbs and have never failed me.

I think the "teeth" are called a reluctor and are electronic sensors that fire the electronic ignition, like a contacless point.

Rawleigh

Homeowner's coverage in Virginia only goes up to 16', I think. Anything over that needs its own policy.

Carl: Dug's post was about Geaux Deep, but the thread wandered as we often do to a B31 called Centurion that was at UVII too. It had factory installed Cats with longer engine boxes.

Rawleigh

Boat US here.

Rawleigh

I remember looking at those Cats in Centurion and marveling that they got them to fit! They are huge.

Rawleigh

I think Mike Kennedy and I rode back to Venice from the UVII at Port Eades with Garry. Mikey was sick and I had to take him to the hospital in New Orleans. Nice boat and a nice guy!! It was the first time I had ridden on a Bahia Mar. He was good friends with Vic I believe.

Rawleigh

I personally would want my money back!

Rawleigh

I would be interested.

Rawleigh

As much as I would love to do it again, I am out. Sorry.

Rawleigh

I have them in each engine compartment. i replaced them around 2000. I never had a problem with the older halons or the newer ones. I will risk the engine damage for the protection and peace of mind they provide!

Rawleigh

Not looking good for the Carolina's!!

Rawleigh

Also make sure Garmin still supports them.

Rawleigh

I feel for you down in the Carolinas. I will be prepping my boat on Wednesday for the impacts up the Chesapeake Bay. We appear at this point to be in the Northeast quadrant, so that is not good. We are expecting major flooding and surge. Plus, it is expected to stall and dump lots of rain for 5 days...

Rawleigh

You better have a good alternator and batteries! 850 watt spool up and 300 up to 650 running. Only $22,000 unistalled!

Rawleigh

My boat has two SS grab handles located on the front corners of the cabin top, so that you have something to hold onto as you go around the curved part to the bow, as well as the usual SS rail down the die of the bridge.

Rawleigh

Jump the switch and see if it runs.

Rawleigh

I would opt for dustless blasting!!

Rawleigh

Mine are the same but on the port side. Mine are rubber, and use a small rope tied thru a loop on the deck to restrain it.

Rawleigh

I made mine out of plywood, but I used a plunge router bit with a guide to rout around a Masonite template and used the drop as the hatch. Simple with the right tools.

Rawleigh

Yep, they are good people.

Rawleigh

More money than sense!

Rawleigh

I think bigger is better because it spreads the load if the strut is struck while underway. The bottom of these boats isn't very thick there, and spreading the energy over a larger area helps to prevent of minimize damage.

Rawleigh

Peter: Just run an extension cord for the heat gun so you don't have the house circuit plugged in. That way you don't have to worry about hurting yourself if you accidentally com across a hot 120 wire.

Rawleigh

Which Morse controls do you have? I seem to remember a screw on the quadrant that tightened them up.

Rawleigh

A ratcheting crimp tool to get proper crimps. I have used a small butane torch from Harbor Freight for years. Obviously don't use it if you can smell any gas fumes or are near the tank. Ventilate the bilge before hand and you should be OK.

Rawleigh

Yea, Buck Algonquin has them all.

Rawleigh

For that price I think I'd just buy them!

Rawleigh

Kevin: You can make the tube by wrapping and taping plastic sheet over a pvc or metal pipe and wrapping the fiberglass around it. The plastic can be slid off the pipe and then you can unwrap it from inside the tube by rolling it up on a smaller tube. Make it longer than you need and cut it to length...

Rawleigh

Kevin: How much space is there between the coupler halves when pushed back. If there is room , you can put a socket in between them and use longer bolts to press the shaft out. Even if there isn't that much room you can use multiple spacers of staggered sizes to press it off. Just be careful to tigh...

Rawleigh

I works OK on my older Furuno's. but they probably aren't as sensitive.

Rawleigh

I can't wait to see the finished result after all these years!!

Rawleigh

John: I made my gutters out of Fir. I just coated them in neat epoxy and then painted them. No glass. I used a dish carving router bit with a bearing on the shank the same size as the bit to rout my gutters in place, using the opening in the deck as the template. I don't know if that process will wo...

Rawleigh

Yannis is correct. It allows a smooth transition for the cloth. I don't think the angle is critical, just so it is enough

Rawleigh

Kevin: 1. Make sure wife is away. 2. Put towel at bottom of door. 3. Spray water on the sliding glass door. 4. Slap a piece of sandpaper on the glass and resurface away. 5. Clean up before wife returns!

Rawleigh

If it reoccurs, try switching the coils from one side to the other and see if the problem follows it. That is one big advantage to having twins!

Rawleigh

I agree that we have stigmatized the trades so much that no one wants to get into them. As said, you can make a good living in them if you want to. If I had my life to live again I would seriously consider going into the trades instead of the law. I think I would have been happier and made just as m...

I have always been told that sensors don't use tape because they need the ground to the block (at least single wire sensors do).

Rawleigh

Isn't that the screw that holds the panel on?

Rawleigh

Damn, I may have nightmares about that! Sounds like something out of a James Bond movie! You need another tender on the boat to make sure no one turns anything on!

Rawleigh

Yes, both sets of switches need to be on.

Rawleigh

If it hasn't had ethanol gas in it I would clean it and reuse it. Open it up and look inside for any flaking. just my opinion. I know others will disagree.

Rawleigh

Peter: Glad to hear things have turned around for you! Tight lines. Rawleigh

Rawleigh

We just mail order it here.

Rawleigh

Sounds like you have got it under control Rob. I like my Velvet Drives.

Rawleigh

I used their engine paint when I did my rebuild. Chrysler blue. It has held up well. I also used their Hardnose White to paint the engine compartment. It is now shown as gloss white in their single stage topcoats. You needed sunglasses to look at it after it dried! Extremely slick and shiny. Easy to...
