How did everyones weekend go? Mine was good. Dropped in down at waterfront bar on the river Friday nite. Did some bar hopping Friday nite and saturday nite. It was cold out! But my motors really liked the cool air!

Friday nite ended up getting bombed at the marina bar, so left the boat in the slip and slept on it. It was cold out, so I figured id turn on my newly fixed reverse cycle heat. Woke up at about 4am with it being about 120 degrees in the cabin! so turned it to a/c and went back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, and it was freezing!!!! Didnt bring any blankets, so ended up using my canvas cockpit cover as a blanket to keep warm. lot of fun. Need to get a digital t-stat for the a/c unit.

Spent some time at Marina Shores in Indiana on Sunday. It was pretty cool out, so we just hung around the docks.

I have a feeling it is going to be a long while before the lake warms up this year...

Had a nice road trip. Brian got my dash halfway done on Friday, should be buttoned up and hopefully on the water by next Friday afternoon. National Corvette Museum and Mammoth Cave.

Hit the lake on Friday and Saturday. Friday was definately the nicer of the 2 days, but the lake was calm both days. Friday launched in Michigan City and ran to New Buffalo and ate lunch at stray dog. Saturday launched in Michigan City and ran to New Buffalo and then to boaters beach. The lake is still really cold with temps on even in the 50's yet

I splashed sunday outta Diversey for my shakedown run... Boat ran good except the stbd drive oil reservoir continuing to leak, albeit at a much more rapid pace than last season. I'm going to see if I can locate the source of the leak thursday.

We ran from Diversey to the pen with seas varying between approx 3' and 5'. Boat handled it fine. Chilled (literally) in the pen for an hour and a half then decided to go through the lock and cruise the river a little bit to get outta the damn wind, then have cocktails at Flatwater. It was the first time cruising up the river for us, and we had a lot of fun waving to broads. :D

Quotes of the day from my friend Crazy Pat, who is a bartender at Castaway's:
"Did you just pass castaways flying in the air?"

Why yes I did sir.

"I thought that was you, I didn't see any other boats that day jumping through waves. I'm like to the other bartender "hey that cigarette boat is bouncing off the waves pretty good." Then I saw the neon, and I was like "thats my buddy Captain Chris."

How'd we look, Pat?

"Considering your boat was airborne, I would say you guys were looking like you were living the dream."

If drive oil tank is not comprimised have you tried those leak proof reservoir caps they work well

No I haven't, but it doesn't seem to be leaking from the reservoir... I'd imagine it's the line going to the drive that has a hole in it or something.

If its not in the bilge,,,,, you have a drive seal leak,,,,, pull the prop and pull the drain plug for just a second and make sure its clean green fluid there.

They operate under pressure so it is possible to leak fluid and not take in water. Especially if its an upper seal leak,,,, then its all sitting in your bellows !!!!

redhotsommer
05-27-2009, 09:26 AM
Or better yet Chris...just look behind your boat when its sitting still in the water...if there's a rainbow back there (or even a tiny skim)...its a seal leak. I've had it before...pulled the prop, replaced the o-ring (it had gotten kinked) and it was all good.
