    A nice tip but it’s not about stern drive storage in the up position

    The trim rams on my merc are still rocking the 40 year old seals. Maybe playing with fire... but no leaks yet. (probably just started now that I said that :LOL:) That includes 20 years wet stored in the salt drink... One of those things I'd never even give thought to worry about honestly...

    cooking

    I did a Sicilian pie the other night.... @FLATHEAD Is that a cold smoker by chance?

    Rain needed

    It's native to this area but I personally don't see an abundance of it around me. Down further in the pinelands it is more common. I typically just see regular moss.

    Rain needed

    Our reservoir at work is about 1/3 to empty as of this morning. Not good.

    Or the guy firing incendiary shells into the berm of a range during a statewide fire ban... Sometimes they make it pretty easy...

    Rain needed

    If they started doing that, the state would have to care. Much easier to have like 80% of your fire fighting force be entirely unpaid as then it's easier to turn a blind eye... yeah don't get me started either... :rolleyes:

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    And that's the other problem... do i spend the money on a trailer that is still marginal for the load to begin with or just upgrade everything. I intend to scale the truck/trailer then boat and see what I'm really dealing with... I fear I may actually be at the trailers weight limit.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    I really should do this on my trailer.... I just know that I probably shouldn't trust electric brakes in the salt. Those electric over hydraulic setups are expensive... but so is a wreck. :rolleyes:

    Yeah. I believe 600 something wild fires across nj last month.

    Rain needed

    The reservoir elevation gauge is about 6 feet above the waterline right now by me. Outlook bad.

    My Season By The Numbers

    I'm at that on fuel just in the last month alone. :LOL: I go by smiles. If I'm smiling, it don't matter!

    Flat yesterday. 56 degrees. Visibility was greater than 10 miles...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    I got the coolest response from a friend on the water today. I was running wide open toward him and he was cruising back. He goes to me "that thing looks badass coming toward you. Like a dart. Little chine walk, most the thing is out of the water, looks bad. ass." I call that a success.

    Manifolds (Trying to figure out what I am looking at)

    Risers are in. It is deceiving looking outside in how high the static height is. Water basically floats at flapper height. Should be good now. I went out and ran it and all seems well. Curious though, should I go and retorque the studs after a few heat cycles? I typically do with the bolts but...

    I have a leak.

    True but, it also was all new from the restoration. I don't think it would've happened immediately but if it had started later I would agree. And again I thought it would've shown up in the original float test. But things happen. While I don't want to, it looks like I am going to have to pull...

    I have a leak.

    So I checked and tightened the boots with no change. Looked around and it definitely is coming from the Y-pipe mating area. My 3 thoughts are as follows: Y-Pipe o-ring Hydraulic hose block gasket Continuity kit screw. (had to retap and went through, sealed with 5200 but may leak?) I got...

    Rain needed

    I run a drinking water facility in central NJ that happens to have it's own pumped storage reservoir. This is the lowest it's been since it was constructed. We had ~4.5" of rain since July 23rd.... 1/3 normal and we are at 30 consecutive days with no rain fall at all. I'm loving it outside of...
