    TD-14 (Hurricane Milton)

    They get so much drama out of these hurricanes, it is only 10 to 15 foot storm surge. From my experience being 35 feet above the water level, it all depends where you are when it hits as to what actually happens to you. During Isabel my boat rode out the storm in the water and yes it rose up a...

    TD-14 (Hurricane Milton)

    If your house goes underwater, maybe you can survive in the boat. I know a family did that during Hurricane Isabel in Poquoson Virginia. They said it was terrifying. I think their boat was near the house tied to a tree. The power of moving water is incredible in its force. The water level went...

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    He had a short section of rotten rib framing he was going to show in court. The impression I got from him, was the boat was sinking in the slip at his marina, so he hauled it out and I don't think the owner was involved in any decisions about it's fate. Typical of old Egg's which used bent...

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    It is interesting how sea water eventually dissolves everything. Titanic's steel is being eaten by microbial life, those rusticles. A few more years and it will be gone. Only thing that last the longest seems to be stone, all the megaliths left by the ancient civilizations endure but even...

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    Close to where I have my boat, talked to a marina owner who had a 50 years old boat mid 30 footer sinking in one of his slips. He hauled it out on a railway, old place, then decided it was too rotten to save so he destroyed the boat then charged the owner $8000. Of course boat owner was very...

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    What happens if the boat sinks like in the Chesapeake bay in 20 feet of water? Or deeper? Is there some point where it is just left where it sank. Then marked on charts as a wreck? I see wrecks marked on the NOAA charts. Is there a size where it is considered a shipwreck? Can't imagine a sunk...

    After dropping exhaust manifold to replace starter, I forgot to turn the raw water valve back on!

    I had a spare Jabsco 8510F pump so I pulled the bearing from it to use in the other pump. All 4 of the Jabsco pumps in my engines use the same bearing. Here is described the bearing and alternative part numbers https://www.wbparts.com/rfq/3110-00-203-6687.html Part Alternates: SP260006...

    After dropping exhaust manifold to replace starter, I forgot to turn the raw water valve back on!

    AND, get this, I will need a new bearing for this 5330 pump. If you buy Jabsco it could be expensive, BUT there is a common deep groove ball bearing that will fit fine. Jabsco part 92600-0060 is equal to W204PP DEEP GROOVE BEARING 20mm shaft X 47mm height X 13/16 INCH wide

    After dropping exhaust manifold to replace starter, I forgot to turn the raw water valve back on!

    Believe it or not, was worth changing impeller as one blade was crack off, gone missing, but is not in the heat exchanger! And these are big pieces of rubber, The end of the heat exchanger, a plate can be removed exposing all the 1/4" tubes and there was nothing in their but water. Maybe, just...

    What difference between 8 versus 10 vane impellers?

    Both the 10 and 8 vane impellers are the same H, W, D, shaft size, and driver config (spline). Just one difference, vane number. M config for the 8 vane Y config for the 10 vane I was wanting to know why 8, or why 10 vanes? I found some ref to vane number in centrifugal impeller pumps, more...

    What difference between 8 versus 10 vane impellers?

    Why have 8 or 10? Same dimensional size either works in the same pump. I just tried a 10 vane instead of 8 and it works fine that I can tell. Jabsco 920-0001 are 8 vane Jabsco 17937‐0001 are 10 vane...

    Would not be a total loss though, you would still own the land.

    After dropping exhaust manifold to replace starter, I forgot to turn the raw water valve back on!

    Boat is in a slip, so it's in the water. I just ordered an impellor from Amazon, in case it fails on me. 920-0001 M silhouette. Yes, will look over all the hoses, it has a large FG muffer after the Y (v8 engine) which holds a pond of water in it. I figure that is why exhaust was also steaming...
