[ahmincha]

I'm no sure but if it does I'll shut the heat lol

 

[ahmincha]

Well its now -2 for whoever cares . I'm bored tonight my wife made me work.

 

[nurseman]

-5 at my place now...I went to work last night it was about 25, came out this morning and it was about 2. Not pleasant at all.

 

[Tnstratofam]

It's 19 here with a light snow. The windchill makes it feel like it's 4.:smow:

 

[Mark72233]

It was 60 here in the panhandle of Florida. And a bit chilly when the wind picked up but some how we manage

 

[ahmincha]

yeah 0 here are not the norm with wind chill -11 are high for tomorrow was updated to -4 wind chill - 30 but its only for a day or so. I'm thinking we all may have to pitch in and get mark a winter coat haha

 

[nurseman]

LOL! I don't know how those Florida folks manage to survive!!! sphelps was complaining about his mosquito problem a few weeks ago, so maybe kick in a couple of bucks for some repellent for him as well.:laugh:

 

[ahmincha]

yeah nurseman I forget how good we have it. And how rough the Floridians have it

 

[Mark72233]

It is true, except the one I have provided by my work I don't own a winter coat . I did live in northwest PA and Wichita,Kansas so I kind of remember what snow and ice look like but I will stay here and hunker down

 

[ahmincha]

All kidding aside its what you are used to. I don't like the cold but it beats 90+ and humid

 

[Teamster]

I've got -15 at the moment,....

Not really sure why I stay???

 

[sphelps]

About 55/60 and sunny down here ... :joyous:
But the fiberglass still itches !

Ahmincha,
Just went thru a portion of your last rebuild. Wow!!! Maybe I can read the rest tom. if the snow blows in here like they say.
Thanks for the thread and info.
KC

 

[ahmincha]

Thanks kc I was taught a lot on that build

 

[kcassells]

Thanks kc I was taught a lot on that build

Here's a question.
-Are going to rig the stearing above or below deck?
-other than aesthetics or was it built that way? {under the deck} originally.
-Is your electric going to be in a separate bus rail/conduit or be in thew same bus rail. 4" on the rail...correct?

Just wondering on the different applications. I asked a Good ole' Boy crabber and he suggests run steering above board under the gunnel. For future service or replacement.

 

[ahmincha]

Well Kc this boat has the hull next is what I call a liner then the cap. Every thing was run between the hull and liner. On my last build I ran 2 chases a 4" and 2" to replace how it was original.
On this one I will probably run a couple 2" chases for the electrical and leave the steering cable free between hull and liner
But nothing is written in stone

 

[kcassells]

So then if you are running the steering cable between the hull and the liner is it easily retrievable? I can't seem to get the picture in my mind.
Thanks

 

[kcassells]

Ha..! Well my terminology is simply not up to snuff in regards to this or that in nautical terms. I better order a "Nautical Dictionary" to keep up with you Ahmincha. :joyous:

I have exactly the same type of situation. I went back in your thread and #50,72,73,88 and 119 are self evident.
Now I got it wrapped around my head. Still though not sure if I want to run the steering cables that way. But now I see exactly what you mean.
Thanks!

 

[ahmincha]

You don't need a dictionary for me I have to look around the web to get the correct terms haha. The one reason I think I will run my steering cable this way is when running in a chase its hard to get the steel sliding part that connects to the motor thru. Also if I remember correctly I will be able to actually set the cable over the liner under the cap. If not I'll hook up a string and pull it thru.

Yes you are right. That is exactly what I've read up on also. Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated.
