Y10 was what weused 35 years years ago in the boatyard. It is a mild acid.

It was 15 here in Eastern VA this morning. It is up in the upper 20's right now. You Northern guys need to come and get your cold out of my backyard!!!

I doubt I will get much sympathy since we only have a dusting of snow on the ground.

Bob: Sounds basically like a pressure gauge dampener.

Rawleigh

Dug: Congratulations! I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter at home so I have recent experience. My first child a the tender young age of 50!. LOL! You will love it! The family (and the economy) has kept me off the water more than I would like though.

Rawleigh

Ruh-Roh!!!

Rawleigh

No relation.

Rawleigh

Put him in Gen Pop and let Bubba have a go at him!!! With a 2 1/2 year old daughter who loves stuffed animals I am even more appalled!

It should be the federal documentation number. They have to list the net tonnage.

Your vessel was documented at one time.

My 440's were installed in the early '80's . I did not change my coolers until the mid-2000's, just because it seemed like a good idea, not because of failure. The engines are freshwater cooled, but the oil and tranny are saltwater cooled. The boat has been on the Rappahannock River all its life. Ch...

Perfect! I have ordered stuff from them at 6 pm and had it arrive at 11am the next day at standard ground UPS rates. I LOVE them!

Rawleigh

It is nothing more than a hydraulic cylinder. Any double acting cylinder of the same bore and stroke will work. Finding one made of marine grade materials is the hard part. Also any competent hydraulic shop should be able to rebuild it if it isn't too corroded. Also any other marine steering manufac...

Check Mcmaster Carr. They have lots of SS ball joint rod ends. They are also called "Heim" joints.

If it were me I would put a flush bottom drain in each rear corner so you don/t have the problem of water being trapped on the non-drain side of the cooler. Maybe make them large enough so that you can use the SS screen drains you can get for the kitchen sink. Save having a macerator pump. Also, if ...

NRA Life member. I get Riflemen.

Yikes! Near me (30 miles) and I hadn't even heard about it! What a shame! Probably no one around to report it early on. Of course these thing accelerate so fast with all of the fuel, wood and fiberglass that it was probably out of control quickly.

Rawleigh

Nasty!! I wouldn't want to be the poor guy who had to clean that up!! I am sure her parents are very proud of her right now.

Rawleigh

Every landing craft and small boat in WWII had them in it!

Rawleigh

It must have been a really slow news day!!!

Rawleigh

I dove to clean the bottom of a houseboat that was built on the same hull back in the '80's. I think it was a commercial production that used the same hull design, not a conversion.

Here is a great video about the menhaden industry, and specifically Omega Protein, located in Reedville, VA on the Chesapeake Bay. I know many sportfisherman think it harms the Rockfish, but the numbers caught are relatively small compared to the total biomass of menhaden and the industry has been r...

I hate top mounted spin on oil filters! What a mess to change even if it somehow catches the oil. I wonder why they didn't use a cartridge type oil filter in that location. Also the spark plugs still look like a nightmare to get to. Also, why cover the top of the motor with a plastic cover. Maybe th...

Rawleigh

Better go to the jewelry store!!

McMaster Carr also has lots of silicone gasket shapes for sale by the foot. They even sell the magnetized refrigerator door seals by the foot.

Rawleigh

It could be Tony! They do become like a member of the family don't they. Some of my earliest boating memories are on that boat.

Rawleigh

Thanks Mikey! That half model had been living outside for some while when we rescued it. I assume it was edge banded originally. I don't think it was a super high fit and finish when it was new though.

Rawleigh

Blue Seas has good info on their website. I love their switches and other products.

You don't often see a boat dragging a wake backwards!! It reminds me of some of the captains at Tropic Star Lodge in Panama! They didn't mind backing a B31 pretty fast, but not that fast.

Rawleigh

Well that looks nicely balanced . . . NOT!

Rawleigh

How messed up is "messed up"?

Rawleigh

Welcome aboard! You are in the right place.

Rawleigh

I sent one to my sister last week that was supposed to say "I am standing in the kitchen talking with my mother and nephew.", but it came out " I am standing in the kitchen naked with my mother and nephew." Not good!!!!

Rawleigh

Let the self flagellation begin!! We have all done something like that before. LOL!

Rawleigh

Harv: You must have a bullseye painted on your backsides!! Sorry for the crash, but glad you are unhurt.

Rawleigh

It will have to have a large speaker to blare Harley noise!

Rawleigh

Rawleigh

Wursty: How is vibration and noise with that single cylinder?

Rawleigh

The "Bayliner Bertram Edition"!! Oh, God!! Nooooooo!!!

Rawleigh

Pete: Glad you seem to be headed in the right direction at last!! Good luck on recovery.

Rawleigh

Keith, the shark terrorist!! LOL! I am a scaredy cat! I would want something more substantial between me and them!

Rawleigh

The originals issued to dealers were mounted on (get this) black formica covered plywood!! LOL! They also had a small brass plaque under them. I have an original that has lived a rough life.

Rawleigh

Docking could be interesting. I guess the tugs make it easy.

Rawleigh

Invest in a needle scaler to get the old paint off. Northern Equipment and Harbor Freight both have reasonable priced models.

Here is the cheap one I use. It also works great at cleaning the running gear of growth.

50/50 ATF and acetone is pretty good too!

Rawleigh

They are also in denial about how much of that nitrogen comes from the older sewage treatment plants that dump into the river. We have the same problem on the Chesapeake Bay, and all they want to do is blame the farmers while Baltimore, Richmond, Washington, etc all have the older combined sewage an...

Rawleigh

I would use white oak, not red oak.

Rawleigh

Michael: Glad you and the boats are OK. How was damage in general?

Rawleigh

Has anyone heard from JJ Soares?? I hope 31 made it through the storm OK.

Rawleigh

Casey: Interestingly most all of the references I find to the D60 pump is for small block application: 273 or 318. My factory setup 440's use a single G5 pump each. I think I changed to a G7(?) back so that the inlet and outlet are on the same side. Can you post a picture of your setup? What does th...

Rawleigh

+1 on Depco.

Interesting pump you have. Mine uses a G5 that I replaced the backs on so that the inlet and outlet come out the same side on.

Rawleigh

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. And what is up with posting yourself acting like a dumbass online. Every time I have acted like a dumbass I have tried to hide it , not advertise it!!! Fortunately it hasn't happened alot, but I cannot say it hasn't happened.
