    Could do the RFX. Also expensive but sending to a base then going over wifi all wireless (except the hood monitor) is probably better than straight Bluetooth. My ear buds have a hard time maintaining connection if I have my phone in my back pocket. I can't imagine it's easy to go through a...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Both. 🤣

    I got the thermoworks signals but the probes are wired. I like I can have some else put it in and turn it on and I can monitor at work.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Its like this one. I see this photo and feel the energy and atmosphere of it but it really doesn't do what it looked like any justice.

    West Marine files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

    Is the PCA premium not still the same paint? I used the gold forever on the 330 and it actually did an admirable job up here considering the growth we get on the barnegate. I also used the bluewater copper shield 45 for a bit too. You had to mix in the slime coat separately but it worked just as...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Never had an issue with heat on the 3.0 or now 4.3. Did have to switch to the older warm manifold setup and 140 stat only because the pump couldn't work with the gen II design 3 stat housing (not enough flow for the volume at low speeds... I think bondo had an issue with this too). The elbows...

    West Marine files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

    West is easily double the price of my local marinas for most service items and doesn't typically have them in stock despite my local west being one of the flagship stores. They seem more concerned with stocking clothes and coolers than anything.

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    I mean dad knew what he was doing. He'd never put that in a customer's boat but he had no issue doing it himself. He has said on more than 1 occasion that if I saw what those gears looked like I would also be shocked it's still together (with 1000 hours on it too). I'm pretty habitual woth the...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    I like feeling like I have an outboard doing the water pump lol. Perfect seal was very good. I think merc superseded it to permatex 3h?

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    So the rest of the story from last night: dad got home and goes "you find the leak yet or do you need me to tell you it's the shift seal?" I had just started the pressure test at the time. Soon as I move the shifter it let out a whisper of air. Under pressure you can hear a slight leak through...

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Shift shaft seal. Though it holds 20psi for ~20 minutes if you wiggle the shaft it sprays out air

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Sadly I'm an alpha 1 upper with an MC-1 lower. Similar but not the same.

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    It's not a ton, but it was all through the drain of the lube so that's enough. Was originally planning on doing the impeller and other associated maintenance but that's on hold now. Going to set it up for a pressure test and see where it is leaking from sooner than later. Being this drive is a...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Yes, just an optical illusion with the shadow!

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Is it just an optical illusion or does the extension have a slight hook to it? And you don't see that side anyway! Looks good

    Made some 7 layers for a friend's 40th last week. Got a few more days of chaos coming up then it's all finally done. :)

    Lower unit repair

    My father had a few (life saving) claims denied. He's still here and that's about all I care to get into with it. As far as the doel fin, I ran one with the 3.0l in my 19 as it basically would not get on plane without it. A 3.0 in a 19 foot cuddy is about as under powered as it gets and the...

    Early 2000's Rinker

    You would be amazed how horribly an owner can wreck something in a short period of time regardless of initial build quality. I agree, it's more important what it's current condition is.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I use my vacation and personal. The hope is i eventually transition back into the professional group. In which case they buy down sick time at a 1:1 rate above 384. As it sits right now it's actually difficult to use all the time I earn as it is. If I burned all 500 now they wouldn't see me...
