What I figured so further explanation is wasted. Bottom line is, I have a cellphone that works to over 60 km off the coast of a huge and sparsely populated continent. You have one that doesn't even work off the coast of NYC - assuming you actually ever get more than 100m from the dock, which is doubtful. PDW What a complete imbecile! I know a lot more about cellular technology (on a professional level) than you could ever get your arms around, dufus. BB Then you should know that Peter has a CDMA phone that will do just as he says! Pretty funny when the clueless manage a really good foot shot, Oz. After all it was WhineyPill that told us that his high tech state of the art cellphone system didn't work off of the coast of one of the world's biggest cities! Ah well my ship leaves at 1700 today, without me for this voyage, so I'm gonna splash the daysailer and go play on the Channel. Right now it's blowing 30+ so I don't think we'll venture too far, but what the hell. Plenty of little coves on Bruny and it's perfect weather for a chilled white wine and fresh oysters. Pilly and Donal can enjoy the onset of winter. I'll be in Sydney in a couple of weeks before I go to Fremantle - drinks at the Newport Inn and bodysurfing at North Palm Beach......... PDW |

The inverted U is called a rise. It is put there to keep water from coming back on top of your pistons. Now unless you have the system sealed you will not have enough pressure to overcome the standing water in the rise. Seal it up, start it up, go outside and look. If you can see it, not sure how your exhaust is ran it may be under water. If your winterizing your raw water system that is the wrong way to do it. What you wanna do is close your seasuction, open your strainer start the engine as you pour antifreeze into the strainer, That is if your strainer is properly mounted. This will fill the raw loop to the riser. Thank's again. I've been too sick to use the boat for several months and it looks like the riser where the water from the engine goes into the exhaust has become completely plugged to let any water through. I can run the motor briefly and exhaust gas comes out normally but without water. And since it is plugged no water gets pumped out of the strainer. I disconnected the hose going into the riser and pumped antifreeze thru the motor to winterize it (the extra went into the bilge) but will have to fix it when I get my health back. Thanks again for the info. |

After all it was WhineyPill that told us that his high tech state of the art cellphone system didn't work off of the coast of one of the world's biggest cities! Yep, seems the US is lagging behind in most consumer electronics...fer christs sake, they still use NTSC tv and analogue phones. My GSM gets reliable coverage pretty much the whole way up the coast from Syd to The Whitsundays when about 6 - 8 miles offshore, and I've had calls at over 15miles out on occassion. GSM is a PITA in Tas because the coverage is spotty. Works at Snug 5 km north of my place, works on North Bruny across the Channel from my place, doesn't work at my place. OTOH CDMA works nearly everywhere. Ah well my ship leaves at 1700 today, without me for this voyage, so I'm gonna splash the daysailer and go play on the Channel. Right now it's blowing 30+ so I don't think we'll venture too far, but what the hell. Plenty of little coves on Bruny and it's perfect weather for a chilled white wine and fresh oysters. Oysters MMMMMMmmmmm, wouldn't eat em off the rocks around here yet. I remember getting tins of mussels off the rocks in Berrys Bay when we were kids, then cooking them over an open fire in the back yard at home. I shudder at the thought nowadays. Ignorance really was bliss. BTW they've introduced Pacific oysters to Botany Bay and Georges River lately, They don't suffer from that bug (name escapes me atm) that killed off the Sydney Rocks. My mate the marine bio is stunned and amazed that they would even consider it, they're tougher than the native oyster and will ensure that they can never return even if a cure for the bug is found. As an ex-marine bio I'd have to agree. That has to be one of the most stupid things I've heard of. The oyster spat is almost certain to move along the coast and infect other areas. Pacific oysters aren't anywhere near as tasty as the Sydney rock oyster. Pilly and Donal can enjoy the onset of winter. I'll be in Sydney in a couple of weeks before I go to Fremantle - drinks at the Newport Inn and bodysurfing at North Palm Beach......... I'll be at the Newport Arms on Wed next week. Hosting some Septic sailing mates who've never seen Oz. Newport Arms will knock their socks off with its location. Yeah, friend of mine lives in Irrubel Rd right near the RPAYC and RMYC. We've spent many an hour in the bars round there. Just don't get them so excited that they want to migrate, OK. PDW |
