  1. Tell whomever to send the million dollars or so in rescue costs to "NOELM". He'd love to pay it!
  2. So now her parents are talking to various governments about rescue options. I wonder why they didn't talk to their daughter about the risks inherent in such a venture to one so very inexperienced. I wonder who should be talking to them about CHILD ABUSE! Should someone be talking to them and consoling them for the $$$ opportunities lost in book & video deals. I'd like to talk to them and kick their ass's when I got close enough!
  3. My fuel sender on the Pursuit died 6 months ago. I've got all the replacement parts on hand but can't get the screws fastening the sender to the tank to budge! I haven't given up and almost daily I soak the screws with BP Blaster...... Meanwhile I've been using the Yam Fuel Management system to keep track of my fuel load. I was told by the Pursuit Customer Service guy that that's the most accurate way to keep track of your fuel anyway... I'm just worried my alzheimers is going to kick in while I'm doing the simple math of subtracting fuel used from fuel in tank!
  4. Well, it now proven that "All wannabe censors are AH's!" If you don't like it, don't read it. Better yet....go away quietly!
  5. Just goes to prove "All would be censors are AH's!" You don't like it, don't read it!
  6. I assume you have a selective on/off/1/2/both battery switch. You can hook your positive of the pump to the always hot lug of the switch. Otherwise, connect the pump directly to one of the batteries. The advantage of wiring from the switch is that you have two batteries working the pump in your absence!
  7. If the only thing wrong with the Yam oil injection was a busted line than I would repair/replace the line and get the system back on line. Yam's system was, still is, one of the most dependable out there. You will save an incredible amount of oil and your motor will appreciate the cleaner, more efficient combustion burn.
  8. I put the SS version on a 16' carolina skiff and improved the hole shot and slow speed plane ability immediately. Your choice as to plastic or SS......
  9. I've got at least 6 SS props of different sizes sitting around in my garage. We ought to put together a "clearing house" of used but serviceable props to sell, swap, donate, whatever........
  10. Florida Fish & Wildlife's invest of the boating accident that killed 3 ex football players off Clearwater Pass in Feb was caused by "improper anchoring techniques"! "Around 5:30 pm...... {in 60 foot deep rough, 4-6 foot seas, rising 20+ mph winds}...... they went to pull up the anchor and head back to port, but the anchor was stuck. Bleakley suggested they tie it to the transom and use the boat's motor to pull it loose. When Cooper tried to thrust the boat forward, the vessel became submerged and capsized, tossing the men overboard." The stupidity of those actions totally confound me! I guess I'm just not smart enough to understand the scope of things people do to themselves and other people that cause their deaths !
  11. Purists may squawk but adding a small amount of transmission "stop leak" to the cylinder before topping it off will keep your system alive and well for a longer time between adding fluid again. Buy the special hose connection kit to make a seal between the refill bottle and the resevior fitting (costs under $5.00). Set up the connection, turn the refill bottle upside down and spin the wheel from left stop to right stop , repeat, repeat, repeat and watch the air bubbles from the system go up into the new fluid refill bottle. When the bubbles stop, close everything up and you're good to go! It is NOT rocket science!
  12. Kinda drifted away from 'thehulltruth" for a year or so......Thanks for the heads up Wiley! Looking for some good maritime insights and experiences instead of the pizzing contests of old.....
