Aswaff's 200 Osprey...I have her now!

[seabob4]

Had the pleasure of meeting Aaron today, cool dude, we talked for a good while, the man knows his chit!  Anyway, here's what we're dealing with...



Maggie says, "I've seen that before..."

But she gets a front row seat...



We'll have some fun...

Where's the sauce and meatballs to go with that spaghetti ?  

[Aswaff400]

i think the term clusterfk fits well...

bob i know you'll take good care of her, cant wait to see the finish  

[Double Trouble]

Where's the sauce and meatballs to go with that spaghetti ?  

The correct is where's the GRAVY and meatballs Italians don't make sauce.

Well thats a little messy for a real Italian so I should say where's the Ragu pasta sauce and meatballs!  

[Capt. Bob]

The wing nuts are a nice touch.

Ouch was anybody hurt in that accident?  Well Aaron when Bob gets finished with her. It won’t look any thing at all like that . You may not even recognize her. But one question. Did you take any of your own pic’s, for posterity?  



And Bob I hope you dikes are Sharpe.

You guys might remember the Pathfinder I worked on.  She started out like this, which was far worse than Aaron's...



And ended up like this...



Hell, I might even start tearing her apart this evening, who know's?  

I'll take care of her Aaron, no worries...

[seabob4]

Played with her a little this eve...



Fun yanking stuff out that goes to nowhere...just have to wonder about POs...

[gran398]

[seabob4]

Scott, you know I love this chit!

[Aswaff400]

Little "added benefits", Aaron...

Did all the swaps on that 250 HPDI this aft, she ran better, but still throwing the O/H alarm after about 15 minutes, all the stuff the owner wanted changed out (which he had the parts) got changed out, ran better, but...time for a trip to Pelican Marine.

You ever change out the gasket and filter/screen in the VST on an HPDI?  The service manual says nothing about removing the whole damn assy off the powerhead to get them apart...POS!!!

havent messed with any hpdi's, i think we only have 4 in the marina and 3 of them are on a 36 contender! most everyone has 4-strokes... i am pretty familiar with 250/275 vrod's... crank case oil leaks... removal of the power-head... multiple times...   oh and that shift recall, where you gotta lift the powerhead to change it, what fun!
