I stopped over 26 years ago, just put them down and walked away. Most people say that it is the best way. The money I saved has funded part of the hobby using 26 year old cigarette prices.

Check the cooling line for blockage. Overheating with the cowl on!

Most people either run the engine untill it's worn out or put it on Ebay & sell it to a person with little knowlege of motors. I would just run it & have fun.

If anyone remembers the Prather O.B. Tunnel boats with the turn fins you know that if you thought about making a left turn at speed they would roll over.

It might work for a real gentle turn turn @ low speed, but it will not be strong enough to work @ high speed unless it was very thick. Then it would create excessive drag slowing you down. .032 aluminum will bend because it is not strong enough. I use .032 spring stainless steel formed with a 20...

The spacer is the distance from the tub to the sponson. Putting it on the left side will cause the right sponson to lift. (slow day @ work)?

Tom, Think about the turn fin being a pivot point. Also what is going to happen to the tub when the water comes up from the turn fin esp if it has a hook.

If Tom Moorhouse is game to set up 5 bouy turns he is welcome to do them. We will bring this up at our next meeting. Half mill is something i would not want to happen. You & your pit person need to get together to coordinate your timing.

Is the 23rd of August carved in stone????????

Tom, You have made 100% of the races that you normally make for the year. It is time to put the boats away for the season.

The problem is when people say remote needle they need to specify if it is a manual(not on carb & hand adjusted)or powered (via servo).

I use DOW CORNING 111 SILICON GREASE. I use it at work on steam valves, "O" rings, vacuum valves & sink drains. It is easly removed (you wipe it off) but doesn't wash off in normal use.

Happy birthday Fred, all of us older people are the same age as Jack Benny 39. We just don't tell them what anniversary we are celebrating! Have a great day.

I sent it to Cathy her E-mail address was on the info for the race in Master Events.
