What not to do when cleaning boat
 

The weather has been so amazing lately in the Bay Area (CA) that I brought my boat home to charge up the batteries and give it a quick cleaning. So I was polishing up the exhaust tips and when I was done and getting up, I bumped my head on the friggin trim tab and put a nice slice on my head. So I have blood running down my head and face, and put the dirty rag on it to stop the bleeding before I could run in the house and get a clean towel. Luckily, no stiches needed, but I have an ugly bloody one inch line right at my hair line. Hopefully the chrome polish and grease etc. won't infect my head too bad.

doh!!!!
 

thats gonna leave a mark...

at least you have a hair line:D :D

got any extra chrome polish???

That'll teach ya

Been there Done that on the exhaust tip!!!!! &^#&*%#&^%&@#^%@#

i have a habit of hitting my bald head on everything..it looks lie the moon with all those scars

we are missing the most important thing here........ How is the boat??? you didn't bend the tab did you?

grease is good for cuts , kills bacteria:rolleyes:
Ever notice how bright red blood looks when your hands are black from oil and grease.

Ahh yes.. the revenge of the tabs... got to love that....

Or how about "the boat bites back"?

I've hit my head on both tabs and pipes:o :o :D

:D :D
That reminds me when I was about 12, I was helping my dad take an alternator out of his truck. When he removed one bolt, it pivoted and damn near cut my finger off. His response? "Don't bleed on the machinery!" :D :D

I know the feeling well OUCH. Bruce I can also identify with ya being folically challanged. Those marks all show!! Gotta hate those hose clamps on the engine as well. Allways walk in the house not knowing I'm bleeding from somewhere.

PICTURES????? COME ON!!!!

Tabs, pipes, ladder, outdrive... you name it; I've nailed it. Now I just upgraded to tabs that are 4 inches longer. That should be fun. I feel your pain.

cuda, that sucks. Several years ago, I was replacing a fog light on my Dad's Cutlass; in the driveway. He fired up the lights to test, not knowing my hand was still on the contacts; (I don't why he did not wait). Sent me tumbling 15 feet across the yard; a$$ over appetite.
