I would find it hard to believe as a result of this that track owners and sanctioning bodies will no longer allow driver to get out onto the race track after a wreck unless the car is on fire Seems the cooler heads decided to implement new rules. We'll see how serious they are when the first driver...

Bruce

Its not called illusion for nothing.

The power of suggestion has been proven over and over in people experiments for a long time. How do you think advertising works? Getting people to buy crap they don't need or want. Look up Edward Bernays.

Bruce

Bruce you are 100% correct, that is very rational, it makes a ton of sense and I would be very proud to own Walter's boat but fo rwhatever reason I haven't brought myself to do it. The upside is if you get tossed out of the house, you got a place to stay or until you sell the other boat, two places...

Bruce

Those are yanmar 315s? Maintenance is that costly I guess. The one in the pic is off a stern drive. Being a stern drive, the hatches or boxes don't fit tight and drain well and usually the back joint is right over the engine exhaust outlet. It was rare to have a stern drive diesel setup that didn't...

Bruce

Boats will sell. But the price isn't great but in turn that gets a great deal on a upgrade.

Peter,
Even if you got 20k for your boat and bought Walters, that would in essence get you a diesel conversion with good engines for cheap.

Bruce

Given the asking price for Walters boat, doing a diesel conversion on a gas boat is crazy right now.

I found that on a couple of fishing sites that one guy did use the gator socket with success on a stuck penn nut. Just looked out in the shop and out of all the strange specialty sockets I got, none looked like it would work except one I made pretty easy. Since its an 8 point a 4 point prong socket ...

Bruce

Jeremy,
That is really rare and I salute the track owner or sanctioning body who threw a red with while people are on the track by foot.

Bruce

Usually a red flag comes only if there is debris on the track where the line of yellow cautioned cars cannot go by a wreck safely or without picking up large debris in the tire surface.

Bruce

Frankly there is liability on both parts here. Track owners and sanctioning bodies in circle track racing have long allowed competitors after rubbing accidents to remove themselves from their cars and confront the drivers who they thought were the cause of a wreck. It sells tickets period. Unless a ...

Forum rules on posting pictures of men in a speedo. 1st rule, hell no. 2nd rule, see rule number one. 1st warning, we understand curiosity just gets the better of some guys who may not measure up and we'll leave it at that. 2nd warning is at a Bertram get together you will no longer be allowed to us...

Bruce

With no power on, you can use a tone generator(like what the phone company used) and a probe to find the short. You put the tone generator on one end of a known shorted line and then probe the other ends of circuit to find tone and identify the circuit.

Bruce

Jack,
Lets us know how it performs once you get your hands on one.

Try one of those noise abatement lift offs :-)

The only crime at Montauk yacht club is what they charge for a meal.

Bruce

That unit is a old Cruisair split. I can't tell from the picture but is that capacitor a combo run and start? If it is not then that unit takes a run and start capacitor. It will run without a pump hooked up but not for long as the top left switch in the pic with the capillary tubing going to it is ...

Bruce

Keith,
Are you using digital or knob controls and who's brand?

Bruce

My nephew dives, so does sister in laws brother I think but the captain is a PADI dive instructor and a few members of the crew are dive masters and will be available at my request as a partner I am told when ever I want to dive. Here's that tactical go pro mount I made with spare parts. Worked good...

Bruce

As your watching remember this is a commercial plane.

This is as graceful as watching a ballerina perform.

Bruce

Tom,
Thanks. The theft issue in public areas is pretty bad and nothing is done to curb it which is why I won't be doing day land trips and sticking to the water instead.
One tender will be shuttling family back and forth to land, the other is mine to dive off of.

Bruce

Heading over to Italy and the Gulf of Naples area soon and trying to get my dive trips arranged. (really just trying to avoid the tourist shopping trips on land everyone else will be doing) Anyone have experience diving around Procida, Ischia, Capri, Positano, Praiano and Sorrento and have recommend...

In the end your 100% correct.

Bruce

Carl, The recreational dive industry at least down here has taken an every man for himself attitude. When I last dove on a commercial boat about 45 days ago there were three dive masters who were off spearfishing paying no attention to anyone including a 10 year old girl who wasn't even certified di...

Bruce

Pete,
Can it be run to the port and pulled out by them?

Could it be loaded on the trailer at the yard and towed over to the Port as well? Will the trailer make it that far? That would only require a truck to pull rig.

Let me know what I can do to help out especially if you leave the area.

Bruce

I'm thinking about a 3' retaining wall, 6' out from the cistern and filled on a 10 degree slope to the 1/2 way mark of the walls Just do what us neckers would do here in Florida. Get a whole bunch of wrecked cars and pile em against the sides. I can hear Pat now at one of the local watering holes. ...

Bruce

Don't let Pat fool you. That's one of them there Michael Jackson sensory deprivation tanks.

Bruce

And just who did they think would have come out and rescued them if the phone had worked?

Besides the boat was crippled in a storm and mr. fix it didn't have a clue.

Just makes the point of dumber than a box of rocks even more true.

Bruce

I know your time is probably tight, but if you can spare a lunch hour I'll drive up your way for a bite.

Bruce

That better treatment was impart due to the efforts of some like UV and Pat who when at one of the first get togethers at the Lauderdale show, Bertram didn't want to know any of us. That UV southern charm went a long way to change that. Everything is social media now and everybody glad hands like Dr...

Bean counters run the world. Minimizing quality while maximizing profit. Bertram isn't the first company to fall to its death under the bean counter rule. Only this time its already questionable reputation, which is everything in the marine business, has suffered great harm. Nobody wants a boat that...

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, ‘Jesus knows you’re here.’ He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued. ...

On that system if it were me I'd use the sea star hose with reusable fittings not the 3/8 od tubing and compression fittings. The other would be for the black Sea Star helms without using a pressure tank where the helm stores the reserve fluid. As far as mounting the tank/valve or the separate tank ...

Bruce

They recommend 1/2 tubing so it doesn't interfere with the flow rate specs. By using smaller tubing you may experience more turns of the wheel to hard over than what they may state as specs. Pressure also increases slightly using smaller tubing.

That system is much more than what the 31 needs.

Bruce

Don't know how your battery manufacturer rated its batteries. While most do it at the C20 rate, not all do. If you were to see a battery rated at 100AH, it would have been tested at a 20 hour rate, unless otherwise noted. This means that the manufacturer posted the 100AH rating on the battery after ...

There's Sentry chargers by Dometic in 32 but they are just as expensive new. Other than internal design there is no difference between that old Raritan and a golf cart charger in explosion suppression. The original design of the Raritan used a wire wound resister to adjust the voltage. About as expl...

There is one in Albany county NY. The Forbes club has a 1000 yard range with positions at 200, 300, 600, 800, 900 & 1000 yards. Not sure how far it is from you.

The 40x's are nice match guns. I was wondering if you were using a variable power. I first used a fixed 36x when I started shooting at 1000yds and depending on the terrain, convection currents, heat, wind I ran into issues with mirages. I changed to a 6.5x24 and reduced some of those problems by bac...

Bruce

Just think at 26 he's already well past his "sell by" date.

Bruce

Hey Mike,
What power scope are you using?

Bruce

Do a net search on "captive panel screws" which is what they are. You'll have to wade thru the nonsense to see if those exact ones are still available.

You can also call Bertram to see if they still have them or know who the manufacturer was/is.

Bruce

I thought maybe you were using the 22-250 but when you said military stuff I take it its 5.56 since your not rolling your own using military surplus bullets.

Bruce

What bullet are you using?

Bruce

Through bolt them into the closet. #10 machine screw.

A tad bit of air will get trapped in the top of the racor housing after running a short time. Pop the top and make sure the racor is filled up. Depending on its location some won't fill all the way up. You lose too much fuel you will have to bleed. Best plug the line if you can when you remove the e...

Bruce

Almost assured you will get air in the line but if its before the racor filter the check ball in the filter should prevent the back flow of fuel out. As you move the line you will spill fuel out of it. Depending on your lines you can get a cap or plug to put over the line to prevent spillage which a...
