Sounds like the current Sr Mgt at my place of employment. Trying to convince them that O&M is a real cost and time consideration (especially at a 35 yr old facility). And to consider that when dreaming of feel-good projects that are so fun to talk about.

anti-siphon valve bad?

Good info above on the skeg. Seeing that would make me leery of how that boat was understood, operated, and maintained in the past - so it would make me look even closer at everything. All of that could give you bargaining power if you are not bothered with anything else you find

Nice boat, and thanks for the pics! I think what alldodge is suggesting as a try, is that on some shifters, the entire shift handle pulls out when you push the "soft button". Sometimes, when encountering this type of shifters, pull from the the pivot where the "soft button" is The VP drive is...

agree To the OP - also think of where the bottom of hull is, in relation to the lower unit

sounds like your water (in the slip?) is basic salt water is generally more conductive, but there is likely stray current in your slip, if you're in one I would replace the anodes - you could go with a "softer" metal, see what a reputable local uses

Looks nice. Not sure what you get for stormwater (from the sky, and from adjacent areas) and freezing - road drainage and maintenance are key in the longer term ("you can pay me now, or you can pay me later")

no

interesting, and new to me to learn- thanks! and thanks for the link, now I know when to look up yes, things change - it's unfortunate some others are scared by that

Good to hear your pups are back. My son goes thru this with dogs that have roamed-off in the woods. If you're still looking I can find out what collars he got

and in the hydrogeologic realm in the good 'ol US of A - cm/sec are used simultaneously with feet and inches - now that's makes a lotta sense...

agreed on low tech

Interested - it's about a boat, AND there's pictures. I'm assuming there's a typo or autofill going on, what is contained? Sounds like you got a couple overheat issues solved - that is good, hope that's it!

I think he'll put a good little scare in our local NFL team, now that he's in our division, and that's good. Then, I think (hope?) our local NFL Team will rip 'em a new one. It'll be interesting to see first game of this season

Yes, agreed. Even the Marina I've had good working relationship for over 10 years (in/out, storage, slip, etc), and now I'm kinda stuck with their service dept b/c I recently have no way to move 'er, or place to work on 'er - just doesn't seem to want my service business. So I'm considering my...

Following this thread since its start, nice work, updates and pics! - and now it re-inspires and re-motivates me to keep working on (mostly O&M for now) on our 1998 25 ft Wellcraft. It was well-used and cared for, but nothing lasts forever. Looking forward to Maggers progress too

Beautiful area - born and spent a lot of time in MI. Ever been to Crystal Lake?

Agreed, For any pump, a lot has to do with headlosses after the pump. Elevation head and velocity head losses (line losses, including fittings) are likely your most significant considerations here.
