Whats Cookin? / Re: What's Cookin'? (Food Thread)
« on: October 15, 2011, 08:17:13 pm »Top sirloin, baked beans, cream corn, home made au-gratin taters, garlic bread(goes with anything) and strawberry parfaits for dessert.Well, the sirloin turned out tough, as usual
(anybody got any tricks), and the parfaits turned into Halloween cupcakes, dont ask, just as good though.

Events / Annual SCJB Fall Get Together
« on: October 12, 2011, 12:11:17 pm »In most cases air will get trapped in the bow letting it bob in the water like a fishing lure. Hook a tow rope to the bow eye and start dragging it until you can get it float a bit and start bailing water.which is basically what happened but also pulled the bilge plug. And the boat was completely submerged standing on its whacker. Rope broke first time.

Awesome, but short, weekend. Met a whole bunch of cool people and drank too many beers Friday night/sat morn. 5am comes quick when your having fun. Damn youngsters. ha
Never been part of a sunkin boat rescue. That was amazing. So glad everything turned out ok.
Guess Ill pull the motor this weekend and see what all the banging was about. Atleast we got 1 short ride out of her.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Milodon oil pan thread?
« on: October 03, 2011, 05:27:28 am »I would use a ball valve, not a gate valve, and tape it's handle with some pretty bright tape if it doesn't already have a bright rubber handle so you can tell instantly from 10 feet or so away if it's open or closed. No need for intermediate settings, all you need is wide open and fully closed!Thanks Ray.
But yeah, use a small piece of hose from the drain plug to the valve, then another hose from the valve to reach out the transom plug. I WOULD secure all this so it don't flop around all the time you're out there running it. Most ball valves have threaded bosses you can use to make a stringer mount for it, and I'd also add a fitting to the end of the hose I could put a cap on when not draining it JIC the valve decides it't time to leak.

Im gonna have to throw money at it to get any more out of her. Thanks Hondo.

« on: October 02, 2011, 08:17:01 am »Run the hose with a gate valve then a few more inches so u can get it thru the bilge hole. Just remember to close gatevalveThats the thing I dont like. I have a hard time remembering to close the block drain valves and I end up with a couple inches of water in the bilge before I get away from the ramp.
Gonna go pull the oil plug right now. Wish me luck. Haha.

I have free drinks, either on the water or back at the Palms, for somebody with some engine knowledge to help me time my motor and give me some pointers on what I can do with this Ford to get a little more out of what I have now.
The timing is close but I think it needs some fine tuning. Ill bring the extra springs and weights for the dizzy and a light and anything else that may be useful.

By chance does anybody know the thread size of the oil plug for 10qt Milodon oil pan?
Ive been changing the oil through the dip stick tube but now the pump dosent want to suck it out now. So I would like to change to something like the fram plug or something else. Thanks in advance.
