But it's all my fault. The NC2 has a old 1976 Evinrude 135 on her. I keep her tuned and listen by ear but I have no engine interments hooked up. So I never saw the engine temp coming up. By time I felt it the damage was done but the culprit made it decisive and unfix able on the water. And it was something I had never seen happen before.
I put in at Wind Creek today as I always do. I was rounding the light house and I saw steam coming from the pee holes. I thought What the Heck??? I just put that pump in the other week. I lift the drive and I somehow snagged a trash bag in the water had warped around my drive. This led to a dry pump, then a burnt water pump. I needed to get to shore for mine and my dads safety. I would let the boat sink if need be, but my dad is my priority in the boat and on the water. The wind was blowing us away from land and populated land at that. SO, I voluntarily blew a head gasket "Cooed it" to get to shore and make sure my dad would be safe and not adrift.
Long story short.
Watch for plastic jelly fish bags in the lake looking to snag your out drive. All ended up well, we made it home after some mechanical wizardy and the grace of God. I have milled the head and just need a impeller and a gasket and all is as it was.
Just a strange story that you cant make up I wanted to share with you all. Talk about a blind side-er.

Put the milled head on and a pump, Ran like a charm today As a mater of fact. I think it runs better than it ever did. Any way- watch for bags just below the surface in the water if you can.
Toodels!!!!

Man.... that's a bummer.I try to keep an eye on mine ever now and then, but just like u said, turn away for a minute and wallah. I am thinking about putting a pressure gauge on mine so all I have to do is glance down to see whats going on. That sort of thing can happen anywhere at anytime. Glad to see u got her back going.

Well you know, I have the temp alarm wires but I don't,, Or should I say "did not have them hooked to any thing". I put a buzzer in today, I need a guage. Fool me once shame on me thing you know.
But yea, It was just something I had never thought could or would happen. I had never heard of it happening before. It was crazy and weard... The north end of the lake is full of all kinds of trash logs and pollen in the main channels. Not sure about the south end.

I know Cat. It's punching 130-128 now. LOL Before long I will need your services to get the Air-Fuel right just to run. A 1976 Evinrude 135 Super charger Blown Police Interceptor Outboard,,,, I like the sound of all that in one breath!
And you know, you may be right about the Toon race & the trash bag. That is the area they were talking about running back from. On the way back it would have looked like a strange and unfortunate accident...
The question is. Who was it meant for and who laid it. And could I be a scout agent to look for boob-ey traps! Or was I a Guinea pig of the Toon race powers that be???
Dummm daaa dummm!!!!!!
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK.........
|
that Mav was cheatin'!!
|
I think you did it Ulysses. I mean,,,, It was a Delta Airlines Barf Bag. But I could be mistaken. I was know to be wrong once. I think old Mav is getting setup here.
|
Proves my point...barf bags are made of paper. Only an impostor would try and make a plastic bag look like a barf bag.

Cheating never competative advantage always. Watch out for the newly created sandbars and the underwater mines I borrowed from Feb. If I were you I would not go anywhere near Ulysses's slough.

I thought the weather was good, and that you would be outside..... Get away from the computer, and no need to count - when the cold drinks stockpile hits "no more closed cardboard in the fridge" reorder point - order more.
