They are an idiot or they are looking to screw someone.

I cannot imagine what those families are going through! It is a long shot now, but I hope they are OK.

Rawleigh

Wow, time goes by fast doesn't it Andre!! That was a good time in a place far, far away!!

Rawleigh

No, but I've seen a few that needed a shovel to the head! I have a friend who lives across the creek from a boatramp and on the weekends you can sit on the deck with a beer and have all the free humor you want!!

John Marriage and completion of any project on the boat do not go together. With a Marriage date in August, I expect to see the finished photos around December. You may not be expecting it, but there is a Honey Do list waiting for you. But all kidding aside, Best of Luck. Here is too Many happy yea...

I pulled mine out of an outlet on the bottom of my Sendure tank. No change in cooling performance that I can see.

PSS is what I have.

Same here unfortunately.

Or add a bracket as that will give you additional buoyancy.

Good one!!

Charlie: JJ Soares was over there. You might shoot him a PM.

My daughter will be 3 at the end of this month. She is definitely a daddy's girl and has me just where she wants me!!!
Congratulations, girls are fun (at least for Dad, until they become teenagers)!

Rawleigh

Sometimes it seems like just yesterday that he was around, then other times it seems like a long time ago. He is certainly missed.

Rawleigh

The only good Trojans are rubbers!!

Rawleigh

Man, I sure miss those two!!!

Thanks Harry. I have a post hole digger auger for my tractor that needs straightening after wrestling with a large root!

Bruce: I used to use the nitrile glove Costco sells, but they are too fragile. Believe it or not the best gloves I have found are the blue 7 mil nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight (yes you read that right)! http://www.harborfreight.com/7-mil-nitrile-powder-free-gloves-50-pc-x-large-68506.html They a...

That is why you want to test it before you put it in your tank!

Rawleigh

It keeps from creating a hard spot in the hull that can cause cracking, I believe. Capt Pat will let you know for sure.

Rawleigh

There is one similar to that sitting on a trailer on the side of the road near me. It has been for sale for years.

Rawleigh

The engines might have been worth that to rebuild!

Rawleigh

Rex: I think that is what I have on my B31. Only problem is you have to go up on the bow to use it. Otherwise it is a clean install. I put the heavy duty switch inside my engine box. The pressure switch is on the bow where I can put my knee on it while tailing the captain.

Rawleigh

Harry: Does this work on pipe as well as solid shafting?

Rawleigh

The small arms ammo through the mascerator pump could produce interesting results under the right circumstances!!

Rawleigh

Also make sure you use hose rated for a head. Odor can permeate through other hose.

Rawleigh

If there is any doubt replace the riser.

Rawleigh

Rule of thumb is to keep overhang between at 1 and 1.5 shaft diameters. Too far you have to be concerned about fatiguing shaft and too close you have the issue of reducing water flow thru Cutless Bearing. Then again I have seen people hang a descent size wheel 3-4" past strut on 1" shafts...I made ...

Rawleigh

Cal: You are a very good guinea pig for us! Maybe it is an old time myth that is left over from the wooden boat days??

Rawleigh

I am assuming the engines a saltwater cooled?? If so, be sure to use a MARINE gasket kit only. Automobile gaskets will not live long in a saltwater cooled engine. If freshwater cooled they are OK for the headgaskets, as they only see antifreeze. I would still use marine exhaust gaskets as they may a...

Rawleigh

electric or pneumatic? If pneumatic, look at Dynabrade.

Rawleigh

Just say NO!!

Rawleigh

LOL!!

Rawleigh

I have one of these older Ritchie electronic compasses to mount in an existing hole on my bridge that now has an old aircraft fluxgate in it. Looks like Ritchie does not make it anymore though.

If you really want it to stay fresh, vacuum seal it, cut the top off of milk jug or other container, put the vacuum sealed meat inside, fill with water and freeze. The ice block will protect it from freezer burn.

Rawleigh

Carl: Are you referring to the pig meat or a different kind of protection!! I can't tell after the pictures above! LOL!

Rawleigh

Now that is what I call a good move! Congratulations Luis!

Rawleigh

Those type of tachs are potted in epoxy, so they are water resistant (i.e. you can hose them down, but not submerge). The problem is that since the battery is also potted in epoxy they are disposable when the battery dies (they claim 5 years, but who knows.). I had a Tiny Tach brand on a lawnmower. ...

Rawleigh

Frankly it shouldn't have to be primed unless the system opened.

Rawleigh

Get a vacuum bagger if you don't already have one. Costco has a good one. Make sure the one you get has the marinade feature. I second 0 as the proper setting.

Rawleigh

Bob: I think you have found the new "most dangerous game" to hunt!!!

Rawleigh

I prefer someone with a 12 gauge loaded with slugs as a backup!

Rawleigh

Good job!

Rawleigh

Paul: Loosen the coupling, slide the shaft back and put a socket slightly smaller in diameter than the shaft between the couplings and use longer bolts to carefully and evenly pull the coupling off. Then you could push the shaft back until it hit the rudder. Do you think you could get the gland out ...

Rawleigh

They have a big incentive not to fall off!! Nothing like being flayed to death!!

Rawleigh

I used 5200 on my struts. How far back will the shaft slide before the coupling hits the stuffing box?

Rawleigh

I love my PSS!

Rawleigh

Take it out of the rubber hose and put a pipe wrench on the gland to keep it from turning. Put enough packing in it and you may never get down to those threads again.

"Santiago has faced six previous citations for minor boating violations. "

I think we are beginning to get the picture here. As suspected, more money than sense!
