I would use white oak, not red oak.

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.

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.

Bruce: I take the key out and hang it on the thru hull handle.

or committed for being a danger to himself and others!!!

I used POR 15 engine paint with good results. I also used their Whitecote in my engine bays. Very glossy and durable as well as easy to brush.

Don;t forget Speedi-sleeves if it is just the seal wear surface that is worn.

Bob: Are you familiar with the products of this company? It definitely beats welding cast iron if ther are any cracks. http://www.locknstitch.com/ Also here is a place that specializes in cast head repairs and uses a proprietary(well, maybe) welding procedure. A lot of the custom tractor guys recomm...

Yannis: There is always the old farmers trick for catching rodents: Drill two small hole opposite each other just below the lip of a 5 gallon bucket. Drill the same holes in the top and bottom of a Coke can. String a tight wire through the Coke can and through the holes in the bucket so that the can...

Or use the grid cut foam of the same thickness as the windshield for the flybridge radius and cut the windshield foam back to the inner fiberglass layer for about 2". Epoxy the radius to the "flange" made by the inner glass layer on the windshield and glass over the exterior and interior.

You may need to replace your oil coolers too. If your fluid is low that is the probable exit route. Lenco makes some nice cupro nickel replacements.

Rawleigh

Maybe he is a numb nuts!!! LOL!!

Rawleigh

Man that sucks about her honeymoon!! Stories to tell the grandkids! Maybe she could hire Mike to run her up the coast!!

Rawleigh

Remember the civil component to this as well. The legal limit is a criminal matter. Negligence is not and any alcohol will count against you.

Rawleigh

Glad to hear that he is doing as well as could be expected.

Rawleigh

Wow, that is bad!!

Rawleigh

Not to mention the constant preventative maintenance that the crew does while at sea.

Rawleigh

They may have minimal crews, but I don't see no crews. Until they get to the point they can repair themselves, shit happens, and it will need crew to fix it.

Rawleigh

I remember it like it was yesterday!

Rawleigh

In that case Tony I will take a collection from each of you and go buy one!! LOL! The "new" American Way!

Rawleigh

If only I were rich!!

Rawleigh

FOR SALE: Almost new French military rifle, never fired, only dropped once!!

Rawleigh

Anything here that will fit? External tie rods like this is what we used on go fasts.

French leather on an open boat! Must not get much serious use. Wouldn't want to try a following sea in that design.

Peter: While mine were out I did as marlin said, but also brush painted the bilge and stringers with Whitecote White from POR 15. it worked great and covered well. VERY slick and durable. I scrubbed it good and sanded the rough spots, but did not get to technical with it. It flows out well and goes ...

Rawleigh

Ther you go Casey! Call Bob. I still like my 440's.

Rawleigh

Thanks to everyone for their input. Part of the problem is that she tests negative for Lymes, but still has the symptoms of late stage Lymes. Pain, stiffness, tiredness, burning sensations on her skin, the list goes on and on. A Rheumatologist has seen her and said that he cannot help her. The probl...

Rawleigh

Does anyone have a recommendation for a doctor or clinic that specializes in chronic Lymes disease? My wife may have it and we are looking for specialists. Doctors are not as used to treating late stage Lymes down here in Virginia. Thanks in advance.

Rawleigh

Be sure to post a video when it is running! I want to hear it!

Rawleigh

Pete: Hope the nerve doc can get you relief. If the implant is loose I recommend that they bring in Capt Pat as the adhesive expert who can put it back together 31 Bertram style instead of the Bayliner style they have been giving you before!! All joking aside though, I know you have been going throu...

Rawleigh

Gone, but not forgotten!!

Rawleigh

As said, pull the head and do some investigating before jumping to conclusions.

Rawleigh

Actually, while they didn't need to beat it that hard, I didn't see any waves that should have broken the boat that way, but then again I may just be used to my Bertram!

Rawleigh

Pete: My experience with them has been exactly opposite of yours. Mine have the same manifolds on them that came on the original 413's. The 413's were replaced in the 1980's with the last of the original marine 440's. No real problems until I burned the piston.

Rawleigh

That is really beautiful water!! it looks nice in a Bertram wake!!

Rawleigh

I hadn't had much trouble with mine until I tried to race to a boat on fire on my first trip out in the Spring a couple of years ago. I managed to burn a hole through the top of a piston due to detonation from the old gas. You did not specify that it has a miss. If it has a hole burned in a piston i...

Rawleigh

I imagine their crap will stain the paint job!!!

Rawleigh

Sorry, I was thinking you were already there.

Rawleigh

Charlie: How did it go??

Rawleigh

I hope it works out better than it looks for them!!

Rawleigh

Yep, the guys around here on the water all day are pretty good with those 40' single screw deadrises! they are fun boats to run with what we locally call a "Guinea stick" for steering that is a vertical stick attached to the gunnel that you push forward for port and pull back for starboard (named af...

Now that is what I call the "Ultimate Selfie"!!! just north of Mexico City. That explains a lot.

Good article!!
