So who broke what this summer?

[niceguyeddie]

Mine wasn't too bad....


Cracked Lightning Header, so I had to buy new ones.
Fuel Pump... Not expensive but the 4 hour tow from The Gorge to the Islander Launch Ramp at night sucked!
Starter
Batteries went to crap so replaced them with 3 new Blue Tops
I've got an oil leak somewhere so I need to have my mechanic pull the engine pretty soon. That probably wont be cheap.

I've had two summers of blown engines, one at the beginning and one towards the end (this one I blew the jet pump too). I call those $20k weekends.

So the list above is tough to bitch about. For the better part, my boat ran great all summer. Had about 9-10 weekends of fun on it and to me, that's a great summer! I tell ya what though, this 60mph shit is getting old. haha.... I think I'll get some use out of my 19' next year.

So what did the rest of you break this season?

All in all a great summer of boating, only issue I had were the fuel sender unit o-ring breaking apart on both tanks during Desert Storm.
I got that repaired, but all the carpet in the sponsons had to be removed to flush the gas out and off the fiberglass. New carpet will need to be installed this winter and I also have a small oil leak that WOT Marine will have to locate and fix this winter.

Had to replace the actuator on the sunpad and we lost a water pumrp no big deal though, I had them fixed in a day or two, no down time, just cash.

At the risk of jinxing myself

It's the first summer in a long time that absolutely NOTHING broke

Oddly, no mechanical issues at all this year.. 14 trips to the lakes, and all good. I did have to put I/2 quart of oil in about a month ago though

Now non-mechanical, different story. I've popped 2 - 12" subs in the last 4 months, and my deck lid has a nice tear in it...

lets see now.did some damage to the clutch cones cramming it into gear at to hi of RPM (replace upper gear set) which is ok..we're still working on a setup that the boat likes. It's time for the SCX upgrade...and except for replacing running lights and brakes on the trailer, it's been fine

Axle on trailer and head gasket in boat. It was the first time since 2005 we had to spend money on fixes. Didn't have a boat from Desert storm to July 4th. Dirty Deeds fixed our axle and menace Marine our engine!!

This summer was good and bad. Only got the boat out like four times which is disappointing. But it didn't break so that's good. After blowing up two drives last year anything would have been an improvement.

I threw a wheel on the trailer because of bearing failure. I was 35-40 miles from home. Luckily I was a couple miles from a friends house so I was able to limp it there until I could get there with parts a couple days later. Relatively easy fix but now I won't take it anywhere until I replace the wheel bearings on the other three axles.

Flat on the trailer, and the spare was bad. Made it to Baker with a bit of Hill Billy engineering

Lost a bearing in the snout at the Delta! Sucked, but cut the belt and got her back.
