Glad it worked out for you. Towed you back to within 1/2 mile and then left you to paddle? I tried to paddle the PD once. It was an exercise in futility.

Yeah, its definitely a struggle! once we got it moving wasn't too bad. If it will stop raining for a few hours i'd like to try it out again. Its rained almost all day every day here for almost a month! Its been the wettest summer I can remember in at least 40 years!

Finally got to take the V out yesterday. Ran the same course as before, ran perfect! Never got over 165 degrees. No problems ! Enjoyed a beautiful hot day on the river with my wife!!

 PS If you ever run into a situation like that again you might want to consider using a Heli-Coil for the repair. If you're not familiar with them you can look here for a brief explanation. http://knowhow.napaonline.com/know-h...licoil-insert/

Oh yeah, I've used them many times! King inserts work very good too! Kinda wanted to get into some fresh aluminum in the manifold. So far so good.
