John, I would use the 23" unit and the standard ohm is 240-33. Old SW guages use this but give isspro the model of your SW guage when ordering to make sure. If you still have you can measure the old sender for the resistence. Use a volt, ohm meter set to r1. One probe on center connection, the other...

Toe catch is the thing. Check your home store for something along the line of a dome plug. Look in the pvc sewer connection. I remember a white 4" commode floor cap. May have to modify. It also could be made out of a piece of mahogany or such with a rounded edge. You can also check to see if your ma...

Very nice and great utilization of space under the console. Speed test lake worth toward Old Port Cove Towers looks like.

Innovation is what makes the world keep turning.

Cam,
Email me the pics if you'd like and i'll post em.

Welding is an art and it's the hardest position in the shop I have trouble keeping filled. Both the guys I have now are good. Not only are their welds nice looking and structural, but they seal. We do a lot of custom ac installs requiring aluminum tubing welding, past welders could weld them looking...

I can't thank enough those who have contributed to keeping this site going.

Patrick would appreciate it. I know I do.

Bruce

John,
Have your mechanic look at them. Most marine pumps can be taken apart to look at the diaphragms for degrading or cracks.
If you ran good filters, carbs should have no issues. Easy enough to pop the tops and check for debris in the bowl.

Use this link for now for UV recipes. Gonna do a side link on the site redo.

Bob,
Send Terry an email with pics as an attachment.

Like anything, it's worth what someone is willing to give for it or what the market supports which doesn't mean you always get your total investment out of a project on resale.

I remember a time people were dumping 250 to over 300k into 31's. Eventually that market tanked.

Bruce

Nice to meet today, My Other East at the shop today.

No words for the support from you all.

Bruce

Factory reps don't have a clue. They build a boat priced to sell to a market share and don't deal in the used market at all. Would you call GM when considering resto modding a 58 vette? We had a 28 Bert with outboards come thru the shop to install 4 stroke Hondas. The boat when done surveyed and a y...

Bruce

Tony,
What's this trying crap. You have to come.

Mark,
Atlantic Beach is not far just over the bridge and down the road. I will be staying on Atlantic Beach and will have 3 spots in my truck if someone needs transport.

Bruce

Thanks to everyone.

Not sure how old your current controls are but the mt3 single controls now do have built in friction controls and will be far cheaper than kobelt.

I will make sure anything designated to Pats sisters will get to them.

Frank,
Nothing to apologize for. It wasn't content but more non boating, mechanical stuff in the general section. You can repost in political if you like. I would have moved but that's still one feature to be fixed.

It's all good.

Bruce

Bring any pics from past events with Pat, and any other of our passed brothers. I'll bring some pvc foam board up with me to mount them on for viewing. I have early pics from the flop house with Pat, UV and Snow.

As has been noted, a good cold air intake, next long tube headers then cam and heads. Only cold air qualifies for a couple hundred but in reality only gain 5 to 15 hp. A custom tune on the ecm would help unless your still under warrantee. If you want more power for towing, change rear ratio which wi...

Bruce

1000 hp is nothing these days. Kids are building import 4 bangers with huge boost, monstrous injector sizes and e85 tunes and getting over 1000hp with little issues on daily drivers. On our LS9 builds it's easy to take a stock 630hp crate motor, change cam, install lingenfelter upgrades, long tube h...

Bruce

Mat, The relays reverse the polarity that changes direction of the windlass. You don't need any more than one breaker on the positive feed if you want to simplify things. The important thing is the breaker being rated to protect the wire size. 15 amp #14 20 amp #12 30 amp #10 40 amp # 8 50 amp #6 70...

Thanks Ray.

Appreciate it gentlemen, but no need for immediate fund raiser. Hopefully some time mid to end of March.

Thanks to everyone.

Trying to finish up Financials including setting up a PayPal that takes cc to make it as easy as possible on everyone.

Bruce

Boat life or 4200 will work.
Bronze bolts are preferred, but stainless will work. Make sure they are tied into the bonding system.

Bruce

Welcome.

Bruce

Nothing way out there Tony, but after a very hectic fall season, I'm able to spend more time and be involved more on the board. This is an awesome group of self governing people and a hands off policy is still what we want. This board has been and always will be about Pat and his love of the 31 till...

Raymond,
Please check your email and get back to me please.

If someone knows him, let him know to get back to me.

This general discusion forum is for boating related stuff. Let's keep it that way, please. The political forum can be used for everything else. If I delete posts from this forum for violation please do not pm me for an explaination. I will not answer. Do not call me out on the board about it or a VA...

Bruce

Mark,
Balmar and electromaax list them for most of yanmar engines but not the 6lp. It may be because of the fluid damper and the pulley groove is behind the damper, not in front.
A call to them might be fruitful.

Bruce

Steve,
Was out kite and bottom fishing yesterday. Weather was great, fishing not bad. Saw one sail jump 5x and what I thought was a sail jump and hit a bait turned to be the biggest Cuda I've ever seen (future shark bait)

Southeastmarine.com is my old shuttered company, I kept the domain name for email only. The pics are available but didn't show materials but a finished build. If all one is looking for is an overlay then many materials including plastics, carbon fiber, aluminum, brass, fiberglass or even a sealed wo...

Separ filters have been around a long time. They are a better quality filtration for particulate and water than racor.

That said racor filters work just fine and are more common.

Alex, Most of the moulds after Pat passed got thrown out they needed extensive repairs. I gave out Bobby Soles number so people could go directly to them for the rudders. Pat asked me to keep the 31 site going as long as I could, Mike has helped tremendously. This was very sudden and I am trying to ...

If those are your current box above and you need another, wrap it HD wax paper, wax the paper with paste wax and layup some glass. When it sets, pop out the old box and layer glass to as thick as you want.

Bruce

Capt Alex, Pat spoke very fondly of you often. Pat and I talked almost every week, we rambled on about everything except why we called each other in the first place and laughed about it when we forgot why. I would never call him if my cell battery was 1/2 or lower as it would go dead before we were ...

Festivus went well for us early this year....especially the airing of grievences...........

Happy holidays what ever you celebrate and prosperity, health and happiness in the new year.

May we remember fondly those family and friends that have gone before us.

Bruce

Anyone remember the Mechanical board?

Praise the Lord for sites like the Hull Truth, it has its place.

Bruce

Sure.

If you don't get me right away keep trying, I'm busier than a one arm paper hanger these days.

What is the ratio on the kmh gears? When a Yanmar dealer we were told to stay away from kmh gears for the larger engines. Now as an aside the distrubutor imported all the larger 4 and 6 cylinder engines with no gears and you had your choice of zf or twin disc. That could have been an agreement the d...

Making some progress on the domain. Will do an auction after first of year on some items for fundraiser after Corp is formed and bank account opened.

I've gotten back from Llano where it was difficult to sell off your friends lifetime possessions, but as we all know you can't take it with you. Due to circumstances moulds are not available.
