Martin, I know over the years you'd hoped and dreamed I toss some of
my firepower in your direction, so here's yet another bloody nose for
you:

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...rit/flange.jpg

That's my bent shaft, a few minutes from being yanked (just waiting to
remove the drippless). Bits of drivesaver are removed and the whole
thing is forward due to the wrestling match they had getting the prop
off. My new Martec is on the way.

As usual I back up what I say with clear pics. Maybe Crantz can claim
it's a fake for you! You need something to cling to.

The drivesaver's primary function is to protect engine and

1) Drivesaver can also reduce engine vibration in SOME cases.
2) Drivesaver can reduce damage to prop and shaft.

NOW, is that a 35s5 pic or not, Martin? Will you ever have the balls
to say YES OR NO?
So far it looks like you won't, even though I've answered all of your

I guess that means you don't have a clue when you make a claim that I

Hey Rob,

Also you should use two hose clamps on your hoses. Is there a reason
why you or the builder elected to use only one?

I really don't need to. It's a sealed off intake for the AC, which was
originally on the platform (not ready for a small genset) in the
starboard locker. It's basically just hanging there, but the filter
assembly probably stinks and I've been a coward about pulling it all.
It's not hurting anything.


And you should pick up that stray chunk of steel thats making a

That photo was taken just a few days ago. The engine bay is actually
pretty clean, but we took on a lot of water through the compromised
dripless seal and all of the dirt settled back there when she was
pumped out. Look at the tranny and you can see it's pearly white.


Also you should use two hose clamps on your hoses. Is there a
reason

All of the hoses and fittings are new. There is not room for two
clamps on many of them. Many folks put two on anyway, and have one
doing nothing. Why? We have quite a few surveyors come into our yard.
They all laugh at the two clamp idea when it comes to fittings that
don't have room for them. Hose clamps should be changed every couple
of seasons and there won't be a problem.

Have a look at the pic:

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...rit/flange.jpg

The only place where there's room for two clamps is at the top of the
pump housing. There ARE two clamps for that, but note that the pump
base is not connected. They had just removed it to gain better access
and also because I'm getting an injector job and filter change.
It's hillarious to me that poor Martin sees some dirt, but somehow
misses that the fuel pump is hanging in mid air!!!!

When the job is done I'll post a short video to show that the pic is
indeed of a 35s5 (Martin says it's not) and that the engine and bed
area are very clean. You won't be able to see the pump assembly though
because it's going to be remounted. I''ll even show the original AC
location with the dead-end fitting.
I always back up what I say with clear pics and video.

Teflon tape is not an insulator. I bet I could snap that set-up off

since the boat is on the hard half the year it's not a big issue to

Probably someone who's put a premium on how a boat sails rather than
just her looks. The Beneteau is more fun to sail, faster in every way
and still more comfy for a family. Bristol 30's are just fine for

Well, for a few months in the summer we reap a some rewards.

Was the water calm enough to reflect the fireworks? One of
our fondest memories, was while anchored out, watching 3
different small town's fireworks and the corresponding
reflection in the water.

This year's fireworks were muted a bit by rain. The festivities on
shore (concert, speeches, etc) were pretty well washed out. We were
already on the boat doing a BBQ with friends that joined us for half
the trip. The location is rather neat, since the towns of Marblehead,
Lynn, Swampscot, Beverly, Danvers, and Manchester have shows within a
few miles so there is really an hour long display going on. We've
been coming for several years because its a lot more kid friendly than
the craziness in the city.

This year's trip was much the same as last. From Salem we went down
through the Cape Cod Canal to Martha's Vineyard where we "vacated" for
a week. Perhaps later I'll assemble some pictures.

Quote of the trip:
We arrived at Vineyard Haven on the busiest day of the year so a
coveted "inside mooring" was not to be had. We did, however, get one
of the last outside rental moorings. More and more boats kept showing
up, each requesting a mooring. All the harbormaster could advise was
to anchor various places. A large powerboat replied, "We're a Power
Cruiser. We don't like to anchor!"

OK, just a couple of pics:
Here's my daughter and her friend as we're going through the Canal:
http://www.sv-loki.com/IMGP1038_edited-1.jpg
About 30 minutes later we came out of the canal riding a 3 knot
current but with 20 knots wind on the nose. This kicked up a nasty
3-4' chop with the girls taking air on every bounce. The mothers were
a bit concerned, but it was safer to just leave them there, and the
girls loved it!

Vineyard Haven is home to a large number to classic boats, starting
with two tall ships owned by the Black Dog empire. Here are several
of the boats that were moored next to ours - another advantage of
being on a mooring is sitting in the cockpit enjoying sights like this:

About 30 minutes later we came out of the canal riding a 3
knot
current but with 20 knots wind on the nose. This kicked
up a nasty
3-4' chop with the girls taking air on every bounce. The
mothers were
a bit concerned, but it was safer to just leave them
there, and the
girls loved it!


it's good to see that you care enough to make sure they have
their PFDs on, unlike some other poster here.


Vineyard Haven is home to a large number to classic boats,
starting
with two tall ships owned by the Black Dog empire. Here
are several
of the boats that were moored next to ours - another
advantage of
being on a mooring is sitting in the cockpit enjoying
sights like this:
