George, I have stayed at the Galley several times, a couple of days at a time and at the Grand now for almost two years. Sorry there is no comparison. Before you ask yes I have eaten at Persimmons and like the restaurant. Using the unfortunate death of a young man at the Grand as an excuse to...

You have the correct answer. Garhauer in CA makes an outboard motor crane that is $300. It will work great for a 90# dog if used with the sling mentioned above. Garhauer Marine Hardware -5887135

Going up the ladder is not the problem. Coming down is where he will get hurt. 80 lb dogs can't continue to put that kind of force on the pasterns. He will break a leg if you are not careful. Lowering him down with the davit will be the best thing for him. Use a working harness or sometime...

Not unlike Lake Erie. Been out there with little or no wind and the swells were three to four foot. Then a small front blows through, winds get up to 15 kts and the tops of the swells turn white. All this can happen within an hour and when you are fifteen miles out you are not getting back in...

It isn't? I just bought a couple of cases for the haul out. Damn!!!

Here in NC we don't have Union 76 or at least that I know of. But we have a couple of stores that are like Wawas, private owned and some other private brands, God knows where their gas comes from, as well. We have BP, Shell, Exxon, Citco and one Sunoco on the way to my boat. I'm not to...

Well E-85 has been around for years and we don't use it. So I don't think this will get the play either. My M/B is capable of using E-85 but I have never used it in the car. Just can't bring myself to doing it. Most stations, or should I say a lot of stations here in NC have non ethanol mid...

Let's do something sometime in the spring. South River is always nice.

Citroen has always built a nice car. They failed in the US as almost every other European car company has (except the Germans) by not understanding the US car business. They all tried to run their operations as they were in Europe. Small mom and pop business with the owner living upstairs. Parts...

We know that we can get a Carolina Skiff up there also but the boat this gentlemen is driving is a 43 Mainship and it drafts 4'+. With the wind blowing with any form of a west factor that makes Beard Creek skinny for your 2.5' boat as well. Least of all a 4'+ draft. Doesn't it?

I was talking at the storage tanks that the oil companies use. For instance Sun Oil or Exon has a depot from which it sends its trucks to all of the service stations within a certain district. I was referring to the filling of those trucks. They carry somewhere about 7,500 gallons in them...

Sorry to say I missed ever seeing or working on that car. I went on line to see some of the pictures and in ti's race pictures it looks like it cornered like a TR-2. The car looks a bit like a TR. But a boxer engine. I never knew the Brits to have such leanings and water cooled at that. I...

I read someplace when researching this particular problem that this is not the case in Europe. VW said that the lines from the various tanks run down to the pump directly from each tank and the pump is right at the tank car / truck fill. So in effect the cross contamination is non existent in...

DUKE Blue solves that!

But that engine had a mechanical fuel injection pump not an electrical high pressure pump like the TDI. Also the pump is not the same on early TDIs. This just started since the 2009 version TDI that meets the new EPA specs. The problem was thought to be the material used in the high pressure...

Sorry for the late reply but the answer is yes. I would call those pillow blocks.

That routine never gets old.

We do you caught me. Just kidding. I don't need the NCHP at my door.

The TDI VW's have had an issue with their fuel delivery system in the last several years. The early TDI's have had several pump failures. These are real expensive repairs because when it finally fails it has been failing for quit some time by destroying itself. So by the time it does fail...

Back in the day when engine vacuum was used to down shift an auto trans the rubber diaphragm would sometime get a pin hole which would allow ATF to get into the fuel by way of the Carb intake. At first it was unnoticeable but as time went on a couple of things would happen. First was that the...

So where in NWC are you going to be? Say hey to Paul, Dawn and Clancy for us. We kept two different sailboats in the circle as well as our Mainship 34t. I was there for nine years. As Tom said we are now in NB at the marina behind the DoubleTree. Nothing like being right downtown. Several...

One is vertical and one is horizontal of sorts.:)

Pay for an in water survey. Then if all is fine do the out of water survey to satisfy the insurance company and bank. Saves a lot of time and most surveyors won't charge a big difference in price. My money is on you paying for all of it. Haul out, pressure wash and Survey.

Big difference doing it once for a sea trial and doing it 15 minutes of every hour in operation.

As in "not in the picture" down stream?
