why thank you for your thoughtful, informed post, danny boy. I am sure we all
appreciate the effort you went through to write. It is not often that a Line
Ex coder can be so informed, particularly one from Georgie Wreck.

We, I speak for all of us I believe, also make allowance for the fact that Line
Ex coders may not churn gray cells as quickly as a Ewe Nex coder does, so let
me be gentle in pointing out that you did not read the regs as thorougly as you
might have (perhaps the pizza arrived while you were composting) in pointing
you to the part of the reg that states:

"3) Contains a permanently installed fuel tank and an electrical
component that is not ignition protected......"

I feel that your efforts should be rewarded for the fact that you made an
effort. Perhaps a bit more thorough prep on your part next time might make an
improvement.

check the regs of enclosed spaces wirh gasoline and electrical equipment.

Here's the reg: 33 CFR Section 183.610:

Sec. 183.610 Powered ventilation system.

(a) Each compartment in a boat that has a permanently installed
gasoline engine with a cranking motor must:
(1) Be open to the atmosphere, or
(2) Be ventilated by an exhaust blower system.

So, if there is no gasoline engine with a cranking motor in the
compartment, a powered ventilation system is not required. It looks like
we now have another tidbit to add to your honor roll of ignorant
statements. How does it feel to be WRONG again, Jax?

You never admit when you are wrong, and it's lots of fun to poke you with
that fact. It's great to watch you make a complete fool of yourself in
your clumsy attempts to defend your crumbling position. Any time you are
caught doing this, you attempt to sidestep the issue with personal
insults, in the face of overwhelming evidence which proves you wrong.

Admit it jax, a powered ventilation system is not legally required in a
closed compartment unless it contains a gasoline engine with a cranking
motor.

Admit it jax, water intrusion destroys coax cable both by changing the
linear capacitance value and quickly allowing the shielding braid to
corrode.

Admit it jax, there is a functional lock on the Shinnecock canal. It's
been there for decades, and I even gave you a telephone number to call the
lockmaster and verify this, as well as aerial, satelite, and ground level
photographs, and a scan of a chart for the area.

Admit it jax, you can't buy a one-horsepower engine with 550 ft-lbs of
torque output. One horsepower is NOT equal to 550 ft-lbs.

Admit it jax, the manufacturer of Algae-X does indeed have a published
street address, city, state, phone numbers, and the name of it's owner. I
supplied them all to you.

Admit it jax, a 1957 Johnson 35 hp, 1954 Johnson 25 hp, and 1961 Johnson
40 hp all use the same magneto coil. I supplied you with the part number,
pricing, and the manufacturer's techical support phone number to verify
this.

Admit it jax, you do NOT look sexy in a speedo.
