Bad Day!! I cannot find the pictures of the block and heads. Luckily, this was nothing I owned. Oil pickup weld broke, 5000rpm, you know the rest.


Would like to see those.:eek:

It was my boat......

Have yet to pull my engine but I am pretty sure it is gonna be bad... Almost 100% sure I snapped my crank at 4K rpms a few weeks ago:lolhit:

There's nothing a JBweld couldn't fix .http://www3.telus.net/spectrasonly/Img_1294.jpg

Spectra how did you keep her afloat with that damage? What did you hit that did not wipe out the lower? Jeeeeze :eek:

Vinny, what does it take to do that? Like, elenvtybillion hp?

Oh this thread hurts...

usually I launch on the Upper Fraser river when I go to Georgia Strait ,and there's a lot of logboating activity there, resulting the odd logs getting loose .The river is so murky that you can't see past a few inches from the surface. Some of these logs start to sink at the heavy end and get stuck in the bottom like a fricken tree.Seen logs as big a 2' in diameter sticking out at low tide standing up straight . I was lucky , because of the trim rams and external steering rams kept the shaft from pulling out any further , even the bellows stayed intact. I hit the log with the bullet of the drive dead center [ found wood chunks in the low water pickup holes] so even the prop was untouched by the impact.
