Re: Is anyone having more fun than this? WARNING: This thread is R rated. For many people stripper and whore are one in the same. Unfortunately ignorance of the difference is all to easily forgotten.

Not a thing, temp was 145, oil pressure was around 50. Was running at 3500 rpm's with 4 people and 1/4 tank fuel and then pop pop pop. Shut it down as fast as I could and limped back to marina on the port motor. Really sucks too, both motors were rebuilt 2 years before I bought it and had less...

My concern is the same about the mounts. My mechanic said he is not sure until he looks at it which will be next week. Anyone out there know if this switch is possible with the mounts. Thanks

Well I guess the inevitable finally happened. Yesterday my starboard engine detonated, connecting rod through the block. My question is how much of a job to repower it with 4.3's instead of the 470 4cylinder? I know the 4's are ticking time bombs and my thought is at this point might be wise to...

I have the same setup, it pumps from the porta potty.

Finally finished my teak swim platform inserts and they look great. I needed to take almost a 1/4 inch off them because they were so badly weathered and uneven. Started out with a plan to plane them down first and them sand but quickly learned that the staples they use to assemble them are very...

Traxxis is the way to go. How old is your daughter? Some of them require a bit of skill to operate.

I thought about that also, but had to many blemishes on the bottom. The planeing is done now just a little sanding and routering the edges. What did you use for finish? They look great. Greg

I have removed them and was considering running them through a planer because they are so uneven. Taking off 1/4" I think will do the trick and then shim underneath. Thanks for the info guys, now I have some work to do. Greg

The teak is pretty thick, a little over an inch at least. It has some pretty deep spots on the ends where it is solid across but no cracks or splits anywhere. Was thinking about a DA sander then finishing with a block. It is the original teak and is a little grainy, what do you mean by Advil...

I am about to redo the teak inserts on my swim platform and have been told by some people to sand them before cleaning and oiling, but other people tell me you should not sand teak. They have not been done in a long time and there are uneven spots that could use some sanding. What is the...

We have about 8" so far and still coming down hard. Yuk!

Why would they knock on the door of an ******* like you?

I haven't had any issues yet with it freezing up, but I prefer not to hear the fan all the time. This weekend was my first with it so I'll keep a close watch on it. Lucky, does your unit allow you to adjust the speed of the fan in low and high settings? My unit can adjust the low end and high...

I just had A/C installed on my 270 and the unit has the option to run the fan continuously or cycle on and off with the compressor. Which way is recommended the most? It's a Marine Air Enviro 10k btu reverse cycle unit, and this thing works great. Just looking for the most effective way to run...
