I have a freind that lives there... that was until he moved there. Once
his **** was too good for me, we were no longer friends. Last I knew, he
had a POS Malibu Skier, that he paid way too much for. Nice house though.
It takes him about 30 minutes to get out of no-wake Discovery Bay. no such
thing as just heading out for a "cool off" spin when it takes that long.
I'll just launch...

Bummer about running out of gas, when you didn't run out of gas... My two
biggest worrie a no gas, and no battery. I have the back-up battery
now, and will maybe start towing a fuel barge. :-)

Nice day on the water. 70's, no wind, 58 degree water. Couple of
water skiers, only wearing spring suits. caught small size bass.
Mostly a test run on the boat after fixing the bugs found last week
from the floor redo and new fuel tank. Ran out of gas a short distance
from the ramp, came in on kicker. 1/4 tank on the guage, so may be bad
sender adjustment, or one of the pickups does not go to the bottom of
the tank. Must suck to have frozen water.




Holland Cut Marina. Went over to Discovery bay, and admired the nice
homes and boats and tried to catch a bass there, unsuccessfully, then ran
over to Mildred Island. Checked the tank today, lots of gas, so
something is loco about the motor. Still under warrantee, may be the
high pressure FI pump, htey have been known to go bad.




Pulled the feed line and lots of gas, probably a 1/3 of a tank. So may be
the high pressure fuel pump or a loose connection. Was running along about
3800 rpm when engine just turned off. Started back up right away and few
minutes later shut off again. came back the last 1.3 miles on the kicker.
Taking it over to San Leandro Marina tomorrow to see what is wrong.
