    So, lets talk weather....

    60 degree weather in Chicago yesterday before winds shifted from the north. Here is a pic from in front of Planetarium last night as the sun was setting. No signs of thugs or migrants, just a pleasant evening with family at the exhibits.

    Highfield… any regrets?

    +1 on the 3 gallon tank. Mine is a 20HP SUZUKI as well. They really are gas misers.

    True that, but what if taking out the port was the task?

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    Doesn’t look like prop froze to me. In fact the ship accelerated before hitting bridge support. Lots of conjecture and will take time to analyze the black box. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but what if it was done on purpose? I think they would be able to figure that out.

    Highfield vs Achilles

    I get it and did the same thing. However when you crank the throttle you won’t want to be sitting high on the tube. I was on my knees and only had it at WOT for like a minute and it was very exhilarating to say the least. :cool:

    Cleaning Switches & Contacts

    Thanks for the tip. When you say “be gentle disassembling and reassembling” do you mean into the new dash? Because I didn’t even think of taking apart the switches. No need for that correct? Tim

    Cleaning Switches & Contacts

    I’m in the process of changing a dash panel on my 380DA. The boat is 23 years old and many of the switches are gummed up. I would like to clean both the case and the contacts on the switches. I was thinking to lightly rough up the contacts with emery paper and spray with a contact cleaner. What...

    Springtime shine 2024

    No buffing at the dock for me either. Once in the water and at the dock, no work performed but washes, oil changes and any unscheduled issues that may rear their ugly head. This is the main reason I go heated storage, because I get the long off-season to catch-up on any maintenance needed...
