you know like me and a fellow member discussed i would rather have my kids survive....i know i have no kids but i agree....do i feel sorry for the kids....absolutely, but i am sure both parents are glad! definately sad for sure...it was definately a reality check for heading out of town...so now the crazy part...my neighbors were headed for california and were in the back up from the accident...anyway me neighbor had a ceizure and everyone in the vehicle was in panic when the ambulances came by for this accident...anyway the driver got in the emergency lane and followed the paramedics to this accident where they were able to give them one paramedic to stabilize my neighbor until another ambulance could show up...small world i guess, and glad to see him still alive

Before you purchase a single part or assemble anything, determine why it failed.

Which bearing spun?  Where the others on their way out too?  How did the mains look?  How much oil was in the motor when you tore it down? 

Dang it GT   there you go again.

You teach me something just about every day on here.   I have NEVER EVER heard of mufflers for a log exhaust.

Get some high quality pictures......I call bullshit on the fuel line being too small.......I have proven 3/8" fuel line to be good for up to 500 HP without issue.

Oh ya the Frost Plug I need to replce is the rear on the left side of the engine next to the starter. I also have a exhaust manifold leak on that same side so I'm removing that two. In order to get at the manifold bolts I need too raise the engine probably 6 inches to get a tool up into the manifold to remove the bolts.

I don't have mine apart at the moment, but thanks alot for the pics of the JE nozzle without the o-ring. At least when I pull it apart, that will let me know if mine is supposed to have one at all. Just for conversation, does it normally affect the boat performance much if an O-ring blows out? Or is it just keep thrust from hitting the cup, and spraying all over?

ps. I will take pictures for a how to (or in my case, usually  "how not to").
 

i am sure dave at A&D might know something about this shop since its in his stomping grounds.....maybe he will chime in.

2 questions  .  .  .

Where is that?   It doesn't look much like AZ

and my eyes are old and my monitor too,  but to me it looks a lot like a helicopter gunship above and behind that boat.  Was there somebody that needed killing?

But, why is it that EVERY time I see or hear about a boat burning I think of Ray?
