Smoking here on the East coast

[Ship]

I have done that too. Never thought about it as a way to get rid of the glass. Just did it as a kid and liked the feel. Felt like a good back scratching...

[Ship]

Looks like burnt electrodes, wide gapes and like Jerry said, along life.

[Ship]

I would take a sweaty hot bath then shower then turn to cold. Open the pours and wash them out, then scrub and rinse clean, close pours. Sound dampening...

[Ship]

My 20s steaming /anchor light was mounted there.

Check the carb gasket.

[Ship]

Except the sun being strange, I haven't seen or smelled anything.

[Ship]

I got these very unusual pictures of how the smoke is effecting us. The road shot is east bound and in the am about 8am and the boat one is west looking...

I have way too much extra sitting in the back of my garage. Projects have a way of impressing the COST !

[Ship]

I wasn't impling you had painted it poorly. Just trying to make a joke. Didn't work I guess. Sorry.

[Ship]

That's what happens when you use house paint or so I'm told. My neighbor, when I was a youngster, (20), used to paint his boats with latex and his cars...

[Ship]

Will check that tomorrow if it doesn't pour like it did today.

[Ship]

Will do. I can't reach the starter or I would have checked it for heat. There is my problem. I can't get under the heat exchanger to even touch it

[Ship]

Removed the bilge pump as the first thing to check. The other 2 are operated by switch. The bad diode is something I hadn't thought of
I checked...

[Ship]

The alternator says 14.3 volts on a Fluke digital meter.

[Ship]

Trying to start the boat. The batteries run down very quickly, I can only get about three starts before the batteries are dead. Have a new Arco starter...
