Sorry your rig is broke right in the middle of the season.

[charlie_the_tuna]

What happened to her ???

[reelapeelin]

Merely a temporary set-back ;D ... you'll be out carvin' the water soon and all will be well ;) ...speedbump in the parkin' lot of life ;D ;D ;D ...

[parishht]

What are they doing to your engine?

What could possibly go wrong with a new unit to require
pulling it apart like that?

Had to be a factory defect and if so, hopefully they correct it.

[turbinedoctor]

No E-tec and now no Lumber Slinger ???

Whats up with that?

Whats the deal with the motor Lumber. Sorry to see it torn apart like that. :'(

[Blue_Runner]

For those that missed it - a "software" update was not applied to Slingers motor (I suppose by the dealer) and this caused one of the cylinders to run real lean and basically fried it....

Nothing like computers :-X

[Airslot]

Hey Lumber, I see you fixed your clearance problme with the rodholders... ;D Little extreme mod there, don't ya think?

For all you guys that forgot, or missed it, Lumber had a thread up last week stating there was a problem and that a new powerhead was on the way from Bomb. Something about a missing software update and being overpropped as I recall. Bet he's out on the water this weekend ;)

[Hammerhead]

Dayum. Hope they fix is soon.

[rb437]

To err is human, but to really foul things up, you need a computer. :)

[Hammerhead]

Jeeessshhh. 20 bucks a hit to launch?????? I'd go broke.

[lumberslinger178]

[Mac_Attack]

LS how'd she run? Billy Mac ;D

[lumberslinger178]

like brand new billy, shifts better quiet faster get up and go lil slower top end speed.... but iam happy ;D

[Blue_Runner]

Glad to hear it Slinger!

I agree, $20 a pop and I'd be going broke too :-/

I thought $15 was bad at Hatteras :-/ That sucks!

[Mulv80]

$20 for Delaware Bay Ramp, $8 for ICW ramp around me.

[parishht]

MULV, is that a private ramp?

Delaware has got public ramps all over the bay,
those are free.
I can name three off the top of my head,
Bowers beach, slaughter beach and Lewes canal,
all three have plenty of free parking.


Anyway, the campground where I keep my trailer
has water access and my ramp is included with my yearly lot rent.

[Hammerhead]

You sure do have IMO the best motor available. Let us know what they found out.

All our ramps are free here. I go out an average of 3 times a week.
