    projects other than boats

    My buddy built a kit car as a real one at this point is out of the question for most people... thing weights 2300lbs with driver and puts down 790 to the tire. Most ridiculous vehicle I've ever had the privilege of driving. :LOL: He's on his third engine though. I told him to stop messing with...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Chalky chalky or too much surfacing wax?

    Not my cooking but my favorite hole in the wall Indian place.

    cooking

    Could do the RFX. Also expensive but sending to a base then going over wifi all wireless (except the hood monitor) is probably better than straight Bluetooth. My ear buds have a hard time maintaining connection if I have my phone in my back pocket. I can't imagine it's easy to go through a...

    cooking

    I got the thermoworks signals but the probes are wired. I like I can have some else put it in and turn it on and I can monitor at work.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Its like this one. I see this photo and feel the energy and atmosphere of it but it really doesn't do what it looked like any justice.

    West Marine files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

    Is the PCA premium not still the same paint? I used the gold forever on the 330 and it actually did an admirable job up here considering the growth we get on the barnegate. I also used the bluewater copper shield 45 for a bit too. You had to mix in the slime coat separately but it worked just as...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Never had an issue with heat on the 3.0 or now 4.3. Did have to switch to the older warm manifold setup and 140 stat only because the pump couldn't work with the gen II design 3 stat housing (not enough flow for the volume at low speeds... I think bondo had an issue with this too). The elbows...

    West Marine files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

    West is easily double the price of my local marinas for most service items and doesn't typically have them in stock despite my local west being one of the flagship stores. They seem more concerned with stocking clothes and coolers than anything.

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    I mean dad knew what he was doing. He'd never put that in a customer's boat but he had no issue doing it himself. He has said on more than 1 occasion that if I saw what those gears looked like I would also be shocked it's still together (with 1000 hours on it too). I'm pretty habitual woth the...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    I like feeling like I have an outboard doing the water pump lol. Perfect seal was very good. I think merc superseded it to permatex 3h?

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    So the rest of the story from last night: dad got home and goes "you find the leak yet or do you need me to tell you it's the shift seal?" I had just started the pressure test at the time. Soon as I move the shifter it let out a whisper of air. Under pressure you can hear a slight leak through...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Shift shaft seal. Though it holds 20psi for ~20 minutes if you wiggle the shaft it sprays out air

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Sadly I'm an alpha 1 upper with an MC-1 lower. Similar but not the same.
