My dad was a private pilot. He called it 100 mile an hour tape. :rolling_laugh:

Steve Smith (aka Red-Green) was an engineering dropout from the University I teach at.

He made good for himself as a TV star.

ROFL !

thanks for the vid. What a goofy show. I never did get down to see any tapings of the show @ the cbc building. :(

I have made it for two tapings of the Air Farce tho!

Skeg repair
 
Hi WetWilly

just browsing through your info on your skeg repair

I have a stainless steel Skeg bolted on to the oringinal skeg, i think its an aftermarket bolt on retrofit. i dont know if this is a bolt on repair or just a protector to keep the original in good shape. anyway if my skeg is broken and its a retrofit skeg , the question is did you make your skeg or did you buy it ,shape and fit it to onto your original

dying to find out

Ed Cossey ::shakehead:

Hi Ed,

Guess you won't know which way the previous owner went until you take it off. If you decide to leave it on, just check the area around the bolts for any sign of corrosion as SS guard and bolts and aluminum don't mix for very long. This was the incentive for me to have mine fixed.

As for our skeg, all I did was prep and paint it. I had the metal repair done at one of our local marinas where we have a gentleman who specializes in metal repair and fabrication. He was kind enough to stop working on another customers vehicle and take care of me real quick, seems I caught him in the middle of fabricating parts for one of Arlen Ness's bikes. He used another Bravo 3 drive to make a template and then cut, shaped and wielded a new piece of aluminum to make up for the missing section.

Now you know,
WetWilly

Skeg repair
 
thanks WetWilly ( guru )

I think the next time im in florida. I'll have a look at it and if my original skeg is damaged i'll find some one who will repair it. the marina where i keep my boat should know of a repair man, they are pretty good at that. I'm a bit worried that it will affect the alluminum or with the vibration from the motor make the fixing holes bigger. I dont realy want to have to buy a new bottom leg. so a repair like yours would be great.

best regards

ed :wink_thumbup:
