Cool video, Moo............how many gallons per second do you think your pushing? idea

[Wet Dream]

I'm winterized. As a matter of fact, I pulled the engine. I even pulled the crank out. :D I left the pistons snug in their bed, and the heads are going to come off next week. I've been sick all weekend so I'm not up to going out in 38* weather. I even blew out the water lines with the compressor.

[miketsouth]

Now, is it possible that reversion is what happened to your engine wet. I dont quite understand this time stuff yet.

[Wet Dream]

No reversion. There are two scenarios that lead to the failure.
The first being that the harmonics in the rotating assembly kept vibrating the crank until it found a weak spot.
The second being that airing out the pump (like Havre) and loading it back up is like doing a "tranny drop" and puts a binding stress on the crank. It either twisted or fatigued and then you get 2 cranks.
It is also possible that both scenarios played a part.

idea Maybe you should think of converting it into a V-Drive..... wink

[Wet Dream]

I thought I was really ****ed up. After staring at it...yup. I was sucking water out of the air and pumping it into the lake. :D
Don't you have better things to do? Here's an idea...make a video of all the footage you have so far. Pass it around like Hammer did a couple of years ago.
I think you are the official videographer. :D

[DansBlown73Nordic]

By the sounds of your poor motor. eek! Im pretty sure you could have just left the water in it for the winter. wink

Cool video, Moo............how many gallons per second do you think your pushing? idea Well Rat the # for a stock berk is 4000 gpm so divide by 60 seconds and you get a little more than 65 gallons per second times 8 lbs per gal you get 520lbs per second eek!

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/502/1057moo19.gif Thank you Moo.
I would say you just dont know what it is to be able to ski, especially in water that nice, but i seen you ski and i know you got the passion. This summer i heard lots of people talk skiing. I seen you walk it. What a blast. We might squeeze another one out of it yet. Better watch the falling airplanes, though.
I have not reviewed the videos as of yet but look forward to it. Moomaw is a waitin.

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/502/1057dadmoo8.gif Now THATS some funny shit. http://www.stupid-boy.com/smilies/contrib/lilly/laugh1blue.gif
Why is it always funny when it happens to someone else?

[fat rat]

And you want me to pull you........are you O.K.? eek!

[miketsouth]

fat rat:
And you want me to pull you........are you O.K.? eek! Dont worry, even though that is 60+ mph the spray did not get the Skiboat (Moomawnster) wet. It had to be slowed to half speed so you could actually see it.

fat rat:
And you want me to pull you........are you O.K.? eek! Of course he's ok...he's typing isn't he? Maybe with one hand a body brace...but he's typing. :D

[fat rat]

I think thats one step I'll leave out of my winterizing process!
Besides the wipe out......isn't the water a bit chilly or is the Swamp heated?

[Moomawnster]

Uh, well, um .er, YEAH ... WHEW ! HehHeh ...
It's a swamp thing ! :D

[Moomawnster]
