Launch ramps are busy today at the marina. The line to launch extends about 1/4 mile out to the highway. Looks like boating is a popular option for how to spend the day. My son and his girlfriend will be joining us for a boat ride a little later today. Happy Father’s Day to all and be safe out...
Just a heads up for those who pull your boat with a newer Ram. I saw a notice of upcoming recall on 6.7 Cummins Rams with the 68RFE Trannys. Keep an eye on it until you get the notice. Reminds me to mount that fire extinguisher I bought for the truck.

I know the forum says ‘89 and older but to me these are classic.
Sitting at the beach yesterday with good friends and former Sea Ray owners, we found ourselves commenting on these beautiful boats. Not just the lines but the way they sit in the water and the running profiles. Gone are the days...
Does anyone know what’s up with the photos that show up of our boats on that site?
A few days ago I noticed that there was a picture of our boat included on my vessel info page that I did not provide. It has the photographers name on it and is a nice shot of the boat as it sat at the dock in...
Just a FWIW, I stumbled across this program this morning while flipping through the channels on TV.

It was on our local PBS channel. Pretty interesting. Apparently airs once per month on various PBS stations throughout the Great Lakes area. There's a list of...
We hauled the boat for the season earlier this week. We get a film that forms on the hull directly above both A/C discharge ports, we have seen this before but not as bad as this year.
I was able to get rid of them, but only by compounding the 2 areas, nothing in the way of cleaners that I had...
Below is a post from the AGLCA forum from a few days back. I don't know if it has already been discussed here but it may interest some of us. I don't know anything about it other than what he posted.

I have read that while in the Bahamas one should use a fuel filter funnel, especially if fueling at some of the smaller islands. Do any of you that frequent the islands do so and if so which ones do you like. I see several different ones available.
On August 3, after 7992 miles, we crossed our wake in Buffalo NY, completing America's Great Loop cruise. It has been a dream of ours for years and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been able to make that dream a reality. For anyone who is thinking about doing the loop, I urge...
I'll start with we are in the lower Cheapeake now and I can imagine that this place is absolutely gorgeous, but I don't know that yet because ever since leaving Norfolk, it's been windy and raining. We are up the Rappahannock River looking for a little calm from the windy and cold Chesapeake...
As most of you may know, we are looping, and my salt water experience is minimal, just since last November when hitting Mobile Bay. We are now heading up the east coast, currently in South Carolina. The weather is not cooperating today so I thought it would be a good day to do a few odd jobs...
Found out that my calendar order was canceled by Café press. I was told on the phone that there was a copy write problem with one or more of the pictures ??? But an email I just received said an image was corrupt.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your call. I'm sorry to see that a corrupted image on...
I have a complete filter change left over from my 360DA. Oil filters, fuel/water separating filters, including one for the Kohler, the inline fuel filters, and tranny filters (ZF 63 IV).
Fuel filters are for pre-generation III cool fuel, and the tranny filters are not new, they are cleaned...
Just a heads up on something I spotted on one of my engines this past weekend. I had taken the air sep off the turbo to gain some access to remove the aftercooler for service and do an impeller change. When reinstalling the air sep hoses, I noticed the ccv tube was resting against the fuel...
Not working today, My crews are inside protecting their flesh from this mini blizzard we are having, there are driving bans, and I decided to stay put. I was posting with Converse48 about winterizing things and it made me think about the a/f that is out in the garage. I had a few unopened jugs...
