I fail to understand your logic with the milage?? Dodge doesn't make the diesel engine. They have to buy it from Cummins. That should tell you something but it obviously didn't sink in!!???

One of or tool makers here has 385,000 on a Cummins - of course the rest of the Dodge truck is a piece of s*** and falling apart!

I personally have 275,000 on my 1995 GM diesel!]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 07:07:07 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25878&PID=334382&title=nautique-in-new-ford-commercial#334382 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25817&PID=334381&title=starting-up-for-first-time#334381 Author: Bri892001

In regards to your fast idle. Are both throttle blades in the primaries moving together? They should but it almost looks like one was open more than the other somehow.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 06:54:20 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25817&PID=334381&title=starting-up-for-first-time#334381 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26000&PID=334380&title=1987-learning-ski-pole#334380 Author: GottaSki

IF you are new to an inboard, you will need some saddle time before maneuvering about your boy with the boom. It also requires cognizant, attentive, and responsive passengers. When you say move, they just have to do it. Its also not a good time to work on your marriage.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 06:54:13 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26000&PID=334380&title=1987-learning-ski-pole#334380 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26025&PID=334379&title=new-acme-540-prop#334379 Author: reftech

I was finally able to purchase an acme 540 prop yesterday and drove to chapin sc to pick it up from the nice ppl at skidim.I installed it last night following the lapping procedure posted by Pete on another post; (that guy must have a huge head to store all that knowledge haha just kidding Pete).I am stoked to try the prop out this afternoon or tomorrow! The stock federal is knicked really bad due to bumping the trailer so I'm sure this new prop will be a huge improvement.I hope to be reporting good things about it this weekend!]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 06:52:09 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26025&PID=334379&title=new-acme-540-prop#334379 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26009&PID=334378&title=1990-sport-voltage-lower-after-3000-rpm#334378 Author: 8122pbrainard

Dave,
If you have a Radio Shack close, you can find the terminal strip. See if they also have the faning strips (jumpers) for it as well. They will save plenty of time not having to make jumpers from terminal to terminal.

With the 10ga., roughly you may see a 10% voltage drop depending on the load. I'd go 8ga. to get the voltage drop closer to the 3% ideal. You may want to consider running duplex (8-2) marine making a neater install amd an easier fish job.

I don't feel going directly to the battery with the - battery terminal is going to make a big difference. I'd take both new feeds back to the original points.

The 14ga. for the individual circuits will be fine.

I hate to suggest this since West Marine is always the highest price, but if you have one close to you, they will have all the supplies you need. One thing is they do carry some pretty high quality.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 06:50:27 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26009&PID=334378&title=1990-sport-voltage-lower-after-3000-rpm#334378 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26019&PID=334377&title=lake-murray-ok-now-has-zebra-mussels#334377 Author: 74Wind

I have never had a mussel attaching to the boat but they are definitely rough on the feet. They do attach to the rocks, docks, waterlines etc. I have also seen zebra mussels in the St Lawrence River. While they have the same issues with the mussels, the water there is much cleaner than before. Wind, where is your family home on the lake? I have lived here all my life except for a 5 year stint in FL after college. My family has also been here for over 150 years. I am from the west side in Pulteney and have lived at the south end in Hammondsport for the last 15 years or so. David

Small world! Old red cottage on point 1/2way down west bluff. Opposite point where was a cinderblock store (defunct now?) on west lake below Pulteney. You might know my brother, Rob Kinyoun, he lives on bluff by state park, the one with the floatplane. He's also got a white Southwind 20. My mother lives by the college. We also owned The Vintage (now Waterfront) and ran The Wheel Inn in the late 70's if you're that old hows that for a blast from the past.....

Jeff,
A copy and paste worked for me but here's the direct links:

Vid #2 - Sure sounds like a damper to me! Time to open it up and check it.

John,
A tight turn with power ether to port or starboard will caise vibration in any hull due to all the turbulence down there.

As long as you have the shaft out, you might as well set it in some V blocks and get the dial indicator out.

When you get the coupling, I'd be curious as to what the bore measures - the same with the old shaft.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 06:09:48 +0000 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25700&PID=334375&title=coupler-removal-and-install#334375 http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26021&PID=334374&title=77-ski-tique#334374 Author: 8122pbrainard

Doug, thanks for the old post about the Tower struggle, it was the first thread I read this morning and it made me smile where is that pic of Pete tubing again?

A bigger boat sound like the sensible thing to do and sell the 2001

Don't worry because the chances are that the guy that buys the 2001 will stick a tower and some big speakers onto it within a month anyway these boats are popular because they are cheap and work fantastically as wakeboard boats and blow the similar age/priced boat away they are a great entry into inboard boating for a lot of people (me included).

Remember the forum that you are on, everyone here loves to see a mint 2001 that's all original and has been well taken care off all its life, post the same question on PN or WW and see the reaction I am sure it will be very different.
