Offshoreonly.com - Cig Pics Let's See em'

Yes, I am hoping damper plate/engine plate/flexplate (whatever you call it) maybe loose/busted. Honestly sounded like the drive shaft banging around, but all felt good, spun by hand in nuetral, and we still had forward movement on that engine in gear, shifted fine in and out of gear. We'll know more tonight.

Hope it is something simple Justin, believe me I know the feeling though!

This year after 22 minutes of outstanding performance broke the push rod guide plate on the number 2 intake valve on the port motor . Like Dan I am the cheif bottle washer . But I am not going to let that tub beat me . I will figure out what went wrong . If all goes well I'm shooting for a whole hour next summer . I don't want to set my sights too high .

Last weekend drive 5.5 hours to Lake Erie, this probably $50 seal decides to pop out in the extension box. Thought I was done and motor needed to come out to get back there but somehow, someway, I layed across the motors till 3pm and got her back in .Ended up at Kellys Island same day.
It`s a love hate relationship for sure.

Love.

I always check all the resevoirs before departure, it was empty.
Had to go thru the bolt holes with a nut driver .. everytime I tap one side in the opposite side would pop out.. it was a real fun job.
