I would recommend filling the hole with a dowel, leaving room for bark to regrow over the hole. dpmulvey is correct, you need to keep the critters out of the interior. That was the idea behind painting over cuts on trees but it was found to prevent the tree from growing over the wound naturally...

I read a story the other day. It went something like this. The guy who pushed past me on the train and told me to go have sex with myself just arrived at his job interview, with me. Karma will get you.

That is the law here. It is not enforced very well by the authorities. 50/50 for us.

It sucks, you're still having a better day than this guy. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/mobile/multi-million-dollar-yacht-runs-aground-on-sunshine-coast-1.3014099

It would bug me a little. I'm not sure if it would be enough to make me change them. If I did it would be all black.. I'm the guy that would spray bomb the covers.

There is always a trade off when you change propellers. They only one I know that tries to address the issue is mercury high 5 with the adjustable vent holes. I've read that th 19p is terrible. I have a 17p high 5 with some small holes opened up. Performance is acceptable although a little slow...

I use ethanol free only. The only place that sells it here is chevron in a 92 octane fuel or on the lake. There is a 40 cent per liter mark up buying gas on the water so I usually tow it to the station and fill. I think it may have helped some when I was having vapour lock issues with a tank of...

I wouldn't want any more boat than my 220sd without more power. It's adequate. Of course I have an Alpha 1, I'm sure a bravo drive would make enough difference because the hole shot pulling a skier is the only time I wish I had a little more 'get up and go.'

What is the water temp you're boating in? A couple weeks ago I was having a very similar issue with a brand new thermostat so I started watching the gauge closely. I realized what was happening was that as soon as the thermostat began to open the temp would drop off the Guage immediately. After...

I am sorry to hear of your loss.I know how much our dogs and pets can mean to us. They are part of the family.

We have a number of public docks with signs that state 2hr maximum moorage. Every time I want to use one to tie up and go for lunch they are full of the same boats or I see the same boats when I launch and when we trailer. I cannot figure what can be done about it, they are run by the city so...

It would definitely be over 2000. Just my little swim platform was 700 for material only.

I found this thread a couple weeks ago. Just finished all 2380 posts. Wow! I feel like I know some of you. I would buy the book. Best wishes in whatever life brings you Rob. You've earned some good karma coming your way.

I have been looking for an upgrade from my first generation clarion that has mp3 capability without snowballing into a full boat buck or more which seems to be the case when I visit the stores around here. PM sent. Thanks

It's a 2015 sundeck 240. I think he is referring to the small Sunpad at the stern. Definitely a bad idea to allow someone on that at any speed. The bow has full height sides and grab handles I don't see how that could be trouble unless in rough water. I have put the bow through a wake before...

I would take it to another shop as well. They would be more likely to be honest about wether or not it was due to improper winterizing.

52,000 pounds on a crane on a barge. I'd like to see that. Or maybe I wouldn't. I hope the operator knows what they're doing and all ends well.

Yes, more details of " having it winterized " and " put away". A shop, or anyone else, should have had it running for winterizing. If it ran well then and not now, something with winterizing is very suspect.

My other, Karen decided to get away from the terrible management at her employer of 11 years. She has had a few interviews last week. They all seem to like the fact that she has 25 or so years experience but she has also told me she is older than everyone she sees in every office. The company...

I forgot to quote thelimey. Congratulations on your new boat. You could introduce yourself in the who's who forum. That does sound like a good discount and I would also expect it is related to the horsepower. What drive is on it? I don't have experience with that exact model but for some sort of...
