A day of boating.
Nice day on the water. 70's, no wind, 58 degree water. Couple of water
skiers, only wearing spring suits. caught small size bass. Mostly a test
run on the boat after fixing the bugs found last week from the floor redo
and new fuel tank. Ran out of gas a short distance from the ramp, came in
on kicker. 1/4 tank on the guage, so may be bad sender adjustment, or one
of the pickups does not go to the bottom of the tank. Must suck to have
frozen water. |

| Pulled the feed line and lots of gas, probably a 1/3 of a tank. So may be
the high pressure fuel pump or a loose connection. Was running along about
3800 rpm when engine just turned off. Started back up right away and few
minutes later shut off again. came back the last 1.3 miles on the kicker.
Taking it over to San Leandro Marina tomorrow to see what is wrong. |

| Holland Cut Marina. Went over to Discovery bay, and admired the nice homes
and boats and tried to catch a bass there, unsuccessfully, then ran over to
Mildred Island. Checked the tank today, lots of gas, so something is loco
about the motor. Still under warrantee, may be the high pressure FI pump,
htey have been known to go bad. |

| and boats<< I have a freind that lives there... that was until he moved there. Once his
shit was too good for me, we were no longer friends. Last I knew, he had a
POS Malibu Skier, that he paid way too much for. Nice house though. It takes
him about 30 minutes to get out of no-wake Discovery Bay. no such thing as
just heading out for a "cool off" spin when it takes that long. I'll just
launch... Bummer about running out of gas, when you didn't run out of gas... My two
biggest worrie are: no gas, and no battery. I have the back-up battery now,
and will maybe start towing a fuel barge. :-) --Mike |
