Capt. Patrick, I believe your number is an old one. Elite Marine Specialists 101 16th Ave. South #9 St. Petersburg, FL 33701 727-823-5240 ScottD

Grady, if he says that is common, ask him to show you another like it. Nobody wants to slam a builder, but that's over the line.

I'm pretty interested in the increasing voltage by increasing distance thing, would be pretty useful in our transmission system.

Randal, here is a link to Scot's site, I think it has what your looking for. It's under hobbies, then Bertram 25 Project. (James Graham's 25)

Don't think your cylinder rings are a total seal, the MM is slowly draning down into the crank case as we speak. You should have room to put the CX in as well by now.

ScottD

Walter, I think your talking about a diode on a heat sink. It sounds like the diode (or diodes) have failed. To check it, just use your multi-meter on the ohm setting and read continuity across the device, switch leads and repeat. Your resistance should be infinite one way and low the other, actual ...

Thanks Sim, that's all I needed to know, UPS won't ship longer than 108"

I can think of no situation where a neutral is switched, in a single circuit or whole service.

ScottD

ScottD

Can someone give me an aprox. length of a 31s shaft length, I just need it to calculate shippping costs and can't remember how long mine are.

Thanks, ScottD

ScottD

Peter, It would take me 2 hrs. to type that much. I agree with everything you stated, I just didn't know how Kevin was measuring the voltages. As long as it was back to the generators ground wire, and not to the boats bond, (I don't know if there connected) all should he correct.

ScottD

ScottD

With a portable generator that's not grounded, there will not be a pontential to measure to with a meter, except back to itself. A meter reading to anything except itself will be a floating measurement, of no value. Once you hook it to your home or other grounded system, the neutral will be referenc...

ScottD

Glad to hear you in the water Charlie, sounds like you got everything you wanted and more. I'll be looking for the Pics.

Good Luck, ScottD

Alex, I was in Puerto Rico last year and enjoyed it. Spent a few days in Old San Juan doing the tourist thing, it was O.K. The highlight for us was Culebra, an Island off the Southern tip of Puerto Rico. It depends on what you like of course, but Culebra is a laid back place with no chain resturants...

ScottD

Didn't Bruce say to check them a few weeks ago? I assume fuel valve and solenoid shut-off valve are one and the same, either way, glad it was something simple.

ScottD

ScottD

Your right about that Charlie, I've done that one. I guess it is better to roll it in right when installing though. The mistake you don't want to make is swapping the inlet with the outlet, not as hard as it sounds on a reverse rotation motor, I've done that one too!

ScottD

ScottD

Looking from the rear to the front, the starboard engine will turn clockwise and the port will be counter clockwise. I am taking it you have a counter rotating engine and not reversing direction with the transmission.

ScottD

Call me a skeptic, but I don't think the ship at sea is the same as the ship on shore. I think I also remember seeing those (at sea) pictures before. Either way, pretty impressive.

ScottD

ScottD

Charlie, had a great time, good show, good food, good weather and good company. I worked in Manhatten some years ago, and I'll have to say it's really cleaned up since then. ( mid eighties) Sorry I didn't have time to hook up for stripers or beer, but after sitting down in the keys for seven days dr...

ScottD

CWJ, I'll be in Manahtten doing the tourist thing, broadway show, Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, etc. Two high scool buddies and our wives on tour! Wanted to go to a Yankees game but there playing the Mets and it was hard to get 6 together, I'll catch them in Tampa in Sept. Are we near yo...

ScottD

Charlie, my E-mail is gsdeskins@yahoo.com. I'll give ya a call as well. Flying out to New york is the morning for a 4 day trip, so if I don't get ya before then I'll call ay Monday.

ScottD

ScottD

Really nice, the soft gauges might take some getting used to though. Bruce, where is the main panel you show located? Great job!

ScottD

ScottD

That's a documentation number, not hull number. Your boat was documented at one time. Net 6 means the weight class, 6 ton, but I thought net 8 was the lowest. If you can verify the documentation, it will be the best title proof you can have.

ScottD

ScottD

Thanks guys for all the information. Bruce, $330 is worth it if I can make several trips to the Keys a year. I can't think of any ramp down there that I would be able to unload on, lots of good ones here and on the east coast. My brother and fishing partner has a one ton crew cab 4wd Ford with the 7...

ScottD

How hard will it be to get an overwidth load permit to pull my 31 on a trailer? (In Florida) I have an oportunity to buy a trailer at a great price, and would like to use it to pull the boat to different areas around the state instead of driving it. I know the dmv does issue them, not sure of the pr...

ScottD

I'll glad to here you guys had a good time. I'm a little distressed at the fishing report since I'm heading down Friday. I talked to others that were down last week that slammed them, so I hope it was a short lull. NOAA is showing the Gulf Stream @ 14 miles so It looks like conditions are the best i...

ScottD

Dug, I'll get the check out today or tomorrow, one problem though, Glenn Deskins (actually Glen) is the same guy as ScottD ( Glen Scott Deskins). Sorry for the confusion, just don't want you to think either one of us backed out after e-mailing a commitment to ya, as one more is all we (I) need. Than...

ScottD

I think it has to do with the time/date stamp selected by the user, the board order by date is correct, but not everyone is on the same time. It is just a theory.

ScottD

If your eligible, USAA is a great company, wrote mine with a one year old survey. I had a lightning strike, paid just under 5K for electronics damaged, no questions asked. I had Allstate before them on the 31 and my previous boat as well, but when they tried to double my rate, I did some shopping ar...

ScottD

I'm in.

ScottD

I have no problem with that way of dealing with a criminal, good for Spain, and hope the U.S takes notice.

ScottD

ScottD

Thanks JP, I list you as an authority on this subject and will call on that knowledge again when I go to buy. I probably don't have to have radar, but on the one or two times fog rolls in each year it will be great. I also want to use it to locate birds and been told a closed array won't do that, bu...

ScottD

Thanks for the input JP. I agree with the overall system thing, My Garmin 2010 is for the "gps/chart only". I don't have radar yet, and want an open array, which they dont offer, and as I said earlier, Garmin radar ain't up to snuff. I have the Raymarine L1260 bottom machine @ 1K and think it's a go...

ScottD

JP, I looked @ Northstar stuff and it's nice, but unless you just have money to burn I don't see it worth the cash. Since your a fan, give me a clue of what they have over the rest of the field that green lights a 100% plus premium over the rest of the field. As for Furuno, I think they WERE the bes...

ScottD

The only time you will have the screen jumping problem is when your turning around a tight spot, as in bottom structure. When I am locating a spot I change it to North up not only to stop the fast screen updates, but it also helps me reference the compass better. You really can't have it both ways, ...

ScottD

I have the Garmin 2010C, it's the best piece of electronic equipment I have. I also have Raymarine stuff, but Garmin is easier to use and is better quality as far as I'm concerned. To bad there Radar is not up to snuff, they don't even offer an open array.

ScottD

ScottD

I am interested in one as well Dug. Thanks for the effort.

ScottD

ScottD

Bruce, I think most of corporate America uses that moronic system. In fact, probably any place where you spend someone else's money and have no responsibility for the result, use it. The end of every year our management team rushes to spend EVERY CENT of the budget, many times using poor decisions t...

If the shark needed a tetanus shot after biting a Prosecution Attorney, what would a Criminal Defence Attorney do to one?

ScottD

Sean, I don't think they are injecting any gasses, the blunt tip cavitates the water forming the bubble. (I'm no genius, I just read your attachment). Cool idea, until Green Peace decides the whales and manatees can't get out of the way of a 100 mph sub and protests. ScottD

E-Bay

ScottD

Blue Seas it is, they actually have some nice combination switch/breaker panels that are at a good price.

Thanks, ScottD

ScottD

The Tampa/St. Pete area has a bunch, I'll have to think on though.

Bolero, SuperMex, Reel Action....

I'll get back

ScottD

ScottD

I'm upgrading my battery switches and was wondering what the prefered switch is. I have always had Perko, but guest and Blue seas make a similar product. Since I'm putting in diesels in the fall, I need higher ampere rating switches than I have now. All three cost about the same, might as well get t...

ScottD

Yes, but wouldn't the world be a nicer place to live. And I would seperate the recycle waste from the trash for you two before pick-up.

ScottD

ScottD

Bruce, I was taught as Harry said, that the elctrons traveled predominatly on the outer portions of the copper, I thought that's why welding lead is rated higher for a given circular mil. It's been over twenty years since I have studied any electrical theory, so I'm in no position to disagree, there...

ScottD

Capt. Dana, I wouldn't be afraid to use the welding cable either. The primary draw back is the insulation is rubber, and not overly srong or waterproof and the conductor strands are not tinned. If not terminated correctly it is prone to corrode. On the plus side, welding cable is rated to a higher a...

ScottD

It's worth having to me, I use it often, but I have a Sportfish.

ScottD (Glad nascar is starting, now that I have a DVR)

ScottD

Charlie, I got'em Monday, haven't even uncrated them yet. Thanks for everything and good luck with the repower. I'll give ya an update when I get started, but that won't be until late summer or fall, after the trip down to Marathon in May.

Thanks again, Scott

ScottD

Capt, Nigal Calders book on boat Maint. is a good reference on overall boat Maint., but it also discribes several ways to wire up a power system. I think you will be helped by the book, at least loook it over. I also think if you buy through the site, Capt. Pat gets some kind of commision to support...

ScottD

Tony Athens has a lot of good info. on diesel filtration, most of which is posted on Boat Diesel. As I recall he recommends straight filtration over racors, it's well worth the $25 to look through the site, second only to this one in my opinion.
