The No Wake Zone / so fuked!!...........
« on: April 24, 2009, 01:35:09 AM »
so i finally got off my ass to go mess with the cruiser...i have played with a few thinks and got a "feeling " what was wrong with the motor so i thought.....RECAP------> last trip out at temple bar with the group..my boat broke down sunday durring a afternoon put back to the marina to go home.....just shut off on me in the middle of the friggggggen lake all of a sudden??? had 50 lbs oil pressure...temp at 110 or so...one fuel tank was low 1/8 of tank, rt tank had 1/3 of a tank...so i though it cut off from no fuel...i just switch over tank manually to fuller tank....after switching over tank @ valve tried to restart and nothing .....heavy click! click!...so im thinking what the f*ck?
? looks at fuel pressure...da?? still had 3lbs? ok well its not fuel............must be voltage....switch battery switch to all....click! click!....f*ck.....ok bitch ill add the booster box........click click!!!!....fu*ck....ok maybe its "low"..get out jumper cables....jump battery one to battery two,battery switch to all AND booster box...better start bitch...im in the middle of lake mead...NO BODY AROUND....my buddy way ahead of me..(hope he comes back).......click! click! click!....thinking damn starter or solenoid..friend comes back tows my ass in ...took forever, but at least i wasnt paddling to know where...........
and back to present day....i borrowed a ford solenoid from a local boater( cause i aint got a friggggen job yet)..and it sat on my desk for a few days i go out to try a few things....check voltage..12.34 both batterys ok there..swapout solenoid check cables.....slowly turns over and click! click!..thinking ok starter is shot....take off exhaust log, remove starter...before i leave ..i figured i would check spark plugs to see if any were rusted in the cylinders..take off #1 and break off the tip from loose socket..ok ill buy a new one when i test the starter..take it in to get tested...looks ugly and rusty but what the hell we will check it..test passes store says its good..no worries just lube the shaft and reinstall it..looks up my waranty on my solenoid i bought last summer ...still under warranty...go figure???... toook starter home and went to grab old solenoid to replace ...figured il check other plugs...(bought new socket).all look good except # 7 its fucked
(see rusty plug picture)
go back to store tell the guy upgrade me to heavy duty solenoid and give me a new starter...cant trust this starter on the lake..and bought a second sparkplug for the smashed one...small thought in back of head...where did the pieces go...hopefully out the exhausthmmmmm?...back to starter problem reinstall new starter....but before i install exhaust..ill see if it cranks...crank ,crank,crank,crank....click...click!! come on......so i go to remove all plugs to help turn over motor and back to # 7 a new plug and its fucked tooo(see shinny new broken ass plug)....right now im so pissed cause i just spent 75 i didnt have and some thing is smashing my plugs..got a sick feeling in my stomach...damn motor is f*cken broken...now all symptoms are falling into my head....motor shut off wont crankhmmmmmmmm i manually turn over motor now its is dark grab flash light look into plug hole as best i can and piston is all messed up in there....went to try to turn over moter again by hand and its locked up.....i think the piston is in pieces..........im so pissed the only thing that gives me pleasure is my boat....i dont even like showing my civic any more its not fun anymore...now my cruiser's motor is toast and im broke....no job no money....that just sucks..im still feeling sick, i cant stand it.....soorrrry for the long post but had to vent on you guys...i know most of you have beeen there before.....F*ck !!

UMMMM....im thinking here..i have 2 dual voice coil kicker 12's in my cruiser now and they sound good ( alittle underpowered), but have 2 dvc 15" fosgates in my hatchback and its loud in there....15" subs need a lot of air space to project bass out of there...oh and its going to rattle like a big dog..that bottom part of your boat you are going to glass is going to flex alot i think...remember the bigger the speaker too the lower the bass note that will come out..lot of rock music dont have those tones...just sayin..and 15" are going to need a lot of power to sound clean...i would love to see pics of your todo....not sure if this helps, thats all i got, ANYBODY ELSE???

The No Wake Zone / AN E-MAIL I GOT TODAY
« on: April 03, 2009, 04:03:56 PM »
This may interest you folks. kind of long but worth it..
My old grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every man's life
when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's
when he becomes too old to take a whoopin'.
I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the
world.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating
myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and
not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a
cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves
and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am
inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful
to me.
Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the
crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to
take a whoopin

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. >From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
---- ------------- -------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment. I CARRY A GUN! AND A SWORD TOO FOR THAT MATTER (NO JOKE)
