just wanted you to know that in your absence, rip is takin' care of biz...

Sunday out on Lake Ontario, in front of Main Duck looking out into the shipping lanes...
how 'bout that for a Lake day???

as much work as it was for me, I oversaw the buttoning up of your boat Sun. night...

So, who was doing the buttoning? One of those sterns looks familiar Back together for the summer?

Uhhh, no

but there was no way a gentelman was leaving those two lovely ladies dockbound last weekend regardless.

Well, I don't believe you but,,,,,,,,,,,,, nice transoms anyway

formula brain trust,
riddle me this, I have drive oil leaking on the port side inside the engine compartment around the drive, not by the reservoir. What might I be looking at?

PS nice azzes

ps rumour has it axa is suckin head and eatin' tail

Musta been in a hurry to suck tail, he didn't cover his brand new boat.

Maybe he has an arrangement with Rippem to take care of his boat. Randy, you Dave's new dock boy?









Oh boy, that comment will do it...................... Rip will never lift another finger on Axa's boat.

Mike,
Are you certain it's drive oil? Is your level indicating loss? If not, it may be spline/coupling grease spinning out past the bellhousing (engine mount) baffle gasket. There's a thin plate bolted up to the inside-underside of the bellhousing. It uses a whimpy cork gasket that gets very soggy over time from grease build-up. If the gasket leaks, the grease will ooze and appear to be oil.

Maybe something entirely different, just a suggestion. Plus, if it is that, it's no big deal operationally. Pain to fix but it won't hurt anything (except your bilge tidiness).

Bring 'er over, I can have that mo out and on a stand in 45 minutes, I been praticin' baby

WOW...I'm in New Orleans for the weekend and my wife gets a girlfriend??? And she takes her to MY boat? What the heck is wrong with that picture and why didn't I know enough to cancel my trip?




Not really, her and a friend decided to stay a few nights on the boat in my absence. I gave them very specific directions though to "tidy up" after.

Thanks Rip for watching out for them and taking them out on what looks like a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l day. Expected to be there (Friday) tomorrow early evening.

Dave

5PM,

Did you find the leak?
