Moo does this too. Not a bad seal that I can find. Only does it when level on level ground like in the garage, etc. Learned to make sure I only fill it near the water and trailer it as close to empty as I can. I have different fills though as well, not the flip-tops......I think the return line installs will help that in my case.  ;)

You just won my vote, IRRebel for president X 3.   


 Now can you do something about the tax situation ?   ;)
   

Here's my idea on that Jeff........it will NEVER fly for obvious reasons unless myself or someone who thinks like me is elected to the white house.

But here's what I propose. The tax rate will obviously rise as the median income falls in this economy. We can't have the politicians giving up any of their lifestyle now can we......... O0

But here's the solution. Countless jobs, businesses, and whole vocations have been moved to Mexico, China, Tiawan, Idonesia, India and Pakistan because why? It makes for a better bottom line for the elite few. The elite few, who, paid for the elections of the very officials that made it happen. Our vote doesn't mean crap folks.........it's their compensation system that needs revamping.......who else can vote themselves a raise???? 1% of the people in this country have over 80% of the wealth............Greed is NOT capitalism..........

Soooooo   My solution......an amendment to the Constitution (Hell they did it for prohibition). We are, first and foremost, supposed to be a "government of the people, by the people and for the people". Read that somewhere when I was a kid.......should sound familiar.......

This amendment simply states that "all representatives in all levels of government shall earn no more, and no less, than the average median income of their constituancy ".

Whats that gonna do? Well, lemme tell you! Jo Blow from 3rd district Arkansas is gonna fight like hell to block efforts to allow a bill to pass allowing China to bring in shit free that will effectively close 3 plants in his district. Affects his pay plan when 3000 people lose their jobs! His US senator is going to do the same, as are his counterparts in both the state and US house of Representatives. Their counterparts in Ohio are going to back them up from the steel and rubber manufacturing industries, the rest of the country for their own interests will band behind them as well. You got my back I got yours. THIS is what America was founded on!

The ones elected to the "fake money mills" say NY (Wall Street, as an example) will be simply outvoted, and had better be on their A game, because the competition in those high income areas during election time will be fierce!!! Career politicians will be lining up for a crack at THOSE positions (Kinda like (WAYYYY BACK) when I was at the end of a long list of people wanting the chance to manage one of the Radio Shack stores in Hawaii........)

The surplus of money from what we used to pay these focks will go towards the deficit, and inside of 20 years, deficit gone, industry BACK in this country, people working, and taxpayers pay the same amount they are paying right now............problem solved. 

This is going to limit the number of people actually running because, guess what? Not a gravy 7 figure job no more, and is also going to attract a lot of creative thinkers who actually care and not career politicians...........  The big guns, like LA and NY will still be grossly overpaid, but what it WILL do is limit their power. No more plant closings due to China, NAFTA or any of that BS........

Think about it gang. It's a solid Idea!  ;)

Ray, thats one of those Golden Eagle versions of the YJ.  There is no intake, its one of those insert style things.  Check Toms site, he has a diagram of them http://www.jetboatperformance.com/index.php?p=jacuzzigoldeneagle

 Its been a loooong time sense I had to mess with a YJ,  but if I remember right you cant just pull the bowl.  You have to pull the shaft, impeller, wear ring, bowl out of the suction as a unit.  The impeller is actually in the bowl and the wear ring is pressed into the bowl in front of it.  Or something like that.  Call Tom .   ;)

 I do remember one thing, DONT LOOSE OR MIX UP THOSE SHIMS THAT ARE BEHIND THE FRONT BEARING COVER/CARRIER !!  Thats how you shim the impeller to set its clearance to the wear ring.

 Its probably just full of rocks, stick your hand up in there and wiggle them out.   ::)

That's what I'm hoping for Jeff is rocks.......and told I them that......but sometimes telling a mexican how to stick their hand blindly in a hole and what to feel for........well, the conversation doesn't usually go well after that!

Yes, it says "golden eagle" right on it I guess. Apparently nothing golden about it. As I look at it more, it really resembles my JE pump and.....well.....Mark has a JE pump........ ;)

We'll see. Women got involved so now it'll be Sunday before I get a look at it (so THEY can get together and gossip about the bad shit we do).........

You just won my vote, IRRebel for president X 3.

 Something else to think about on this live vest situation,  Just how many of those pretty little females (with there bolt on boobies and perfect tans) do you think are going to want to spend a day on the lake with you on your boat when you tell them they have to wear a Coast Guard approved live vest.   I can hear it now, "I'm not going to wear that" it doesn't match my thong, it will give me ugly tan lines, etc, etc, etc.    :banghead:  Thats it, its time for the revolution !!!!!!!   I want to smoke anywhere I want to, ride a motorcycle with no helmet, use my used motor oil to kill weeds, start a fire in my fireplace whenever I want to, never have to make any car pass a smog test, and Not have to wear a live vest on my boat if I dont want to !!!!   

 Its just ridicules.  Imagine this, when I transferred the title of my Brendella into my name. I was sent a sticker that I'm supposed to put on the transom warning of carbon monoxide poisoning (or some such shit).  Do they really think the exhaust fumes from the zoomies are going to collect behind the boat?   Do they really think anyone will want to be behind that thing when its running ?  Do they really think I'm going to put that stupid sticker on my boat ??   I bet next year they send me the one with that little stick guy on it showing that you should not stick your foot into a propeller.    :screwy:

 Rant over...   
Anyone remember the green Mr Yuk stickers parents were supposed to put on all the crap we, as kids, weren't supposed to drink under the kitchen sink? Started by Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, but soon went national. "Mr yuk is Mean.....Mr yuk is Green............" was the mantra of the campaign. That was followed by childproof caps and other things the chemical industry spent millions on so they did NOT have to pay royalties to Children's hospital for the friggin stickers. who paid for that? We did! Wonder where inflation comes from? it's 60% government driven and 40% lawyer driven. If you realize that equates into 100% lawyer driven, you get a gold star for the day!

Brad............I think we need to reaffirm and reassign this sticker...........



I think we can come up with a better jingle to match it too!  ;)

I wasn't gonna bring this up, but since someone already kinda did..........

Why is it that the same government that would have NO PROBLEM Drafting my ass, then with minimal training, throw an automatic weapon and several destructive devices in my hands, purposely put me in harms way in a foreign country, such as we did in Vietnam and now in Iraq, just without the draft part, to accomplish something only THEY think is important. At the SAME FRIGGIN TIME, tell me I'm too stupid and/or irresponsible to drive a car without a seatbelt, ride a motorcycle without a helmet, or ride in a boat without a lifevest (And the plethora of other crap we're supposed to carry) ??????

Am I the only one who sees it this way?   :screwy:

Don't get me wrong, I'm as patriotic as the next guy, and thank every Vet I see. (Embarass the kids at the airport when I shake every uniformed soldiers hand I see and thank them). But, really?!?!

If they're really THAT concerned for our safety, then why not this...........EVERY political figure gives up their Secret Service guys protecting their asses and put them into local law enfocement at full pay. Their only job is to protect OUR asses. That's roughly 4500 agents, 90 per state, who's only job is to save our ass at any cost, unlike the PoPo......... Hows THAT for tax money at work?

Now you got yourself a set back yj there. Haha. Did they take it aprt that far or did it come apart?

Nope. The Mariachi Band took it apart. just told him might as well keep going and get the bowl off so we know what we're in for.........I'm thinking set back Berk conversion is not too far away....... :banghead:     

Might as well keep going, dump the Olds and drop a 460 in it too, why the hell not?
