That thing was about a mile North of Newport's South Beach right at
the head of the Sakonnet River.

Good thing it wasn't a beach day.

Speaking of fish traps ...

I was reading a fishing report on Cape Cod Bay today. Apparently it's a
bonanza. Stripers, Blues and Tuna are all in and hitting. Tuna are
plentiful and averaging 150-250 lbs.

Too bad I still don't have any oil pans on my engines.

I've heard the same thing. The Bay has been pretty good in the past
few days although I'm not hearing a lot out of LIS in and around
Montauk and the Plum Gut.

Too bad I still don't have any oil pans on my engines.


I hear that. Figures - my trailer brakes are FUBAR and I'm getting
really ****ed off. :)

The guys in North Carolina, who rebuilt my port side engine two years
ago, discovered that a previous owner had repaired the oil pan with JB
Weld some time in the past. It was still holding OK but seemed like
a good thing to replace while we were doing the job. :-)

Old JiminFl called it on mine. He told me they may have problems fitting
up the new pans, which they did. Right now they are modifying the new
pans, using the dipstick and tubes from the old ones.
Requires some cutting and welding, but they should be finished and installed
soon.

Then, the "For Sale" sign goes back on it.

Sell it to SW Tom...he's dangerously running around LI Sound in a boat
with a bitty 20" transom and a mismatched and low quality outboard.

Yeah, with JB Weld and Duct tape you can repair just about anything. ')

I have seen head and cylinder fixes on old Wisconsin engines, tractors
and you name it done with JB Weld and duct tape.

If I get a chance today in the middle of all the other stuff I gotta
do, I'll ride down to my bud's place and take pictures of an old Allis
bailer that, not kidding, the rakes are held to the roller by a duct
tape bearing.

I kid you not.

I have seen many stuff held together with JB Weld and Duct tape. I
personally would only use it till I could repair it correctly, which
means I will spend a lot more money for the security of having a new
expensive part. Or maybe I just want it to look pretty.
