Parishhit,
Just missed ya at Eyes. I was there at 6pm. Working of course. :( .
Just recently installed a new gas filter, and I also have that inline tinly litle glass filter as well, but havent changed that one. I guess its a clog or its sucking air ??? ???. The ball itself is in good shape, not dry rotted or cracked.
The dog is doing ok now, not sure if she's looking to ever go back again. ;D

Yeah PiPe-Dream, Wife wont dock the boat either, Im still learning to dock myself. Hell I just bought extra bumpers to lessen the impact when docking, but I am getting better now and so are the locals who fish on the boat dock. They now know to RUN when they see me coming in. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Rap's comments are why I don't use the deadman. If I'm alone on the boat and it gets a little rough I use it, in other words seldom. If someone else is in the boat they will have a MOB situation and trying to keep an eye on the MOB while gaining control of the boat and dealing with sea conditions. Obviously easier if three or more on board but you still don't want to have to play around with a deadman key (spare) and getting the boat restarted. If the conditions make that tough I believe you have just put others in jeopardy and reduced your chances of survival especially if you got hurt going overboard which is a common situation.
When traveling solo is the only time in my opinion.
