White Lake Mini 2015

Great pictures Dan - thanks for capturing the weekend.

What a way to kick off the boating/ski season! Thank you to White Lake Marine and all the CCFans for another great event. Nice job getting pictures and videos up Greg and Dan - I think that is record.

Looking forward to skiing with you guys soon.

Hard to know the cause for sure at this point (likely a short to ground) - but the result was an overload on the 10G hot wires going from the alt to the dash and back to the engine/bat cable. No main breaker on that engine setup so the wiring harnesses were a complete loss. Luckily there was a wrench handy to unhook the battery quick enough to avoid requiring the use of a fire extinguisher. New harnesses were delivered from PCM by Mark S. on Friday night, so she will soon be back in the game. As for the coupler... no harm no foul.

Quick action for sure, could have been much worse. So does the breaker at the rear of the engine not protect this scenario or are you saying there isn't one there. Removed when the engine was replaced maybe?

I was thinking about that after we were talking about their boat. None of our old boats have a breaker and 2/3 have the original wiring. On top of that, they all have amp meters which may make it worse as all the power runs up to the ignition? What's involved in adding a main breaker.?

Dan, just requested access to your google photo acct. Thanks

I had a great time bumming rides at White Lake this year, great people makes for great times. Thanks to White Lake Marine for showing us a great time. Thanks to everyone else for the rides and the great food! Hope to see ya all again soon.

I accidentally restricted photo access last night. I have changed it back so that the original link should work. Meaning, you should only need to follow the link to view and download the photos, no other access permission is required. If you have any additional trouble let me know.

Sorry for the video-- But some of us aren't current with all the GoPro's and fancy video equipment. Just a cheap Samsung Camera taking video and pics. Might be a little loud in spots- but can't help how the Skylark sounds

Here's a teaser....

What an awesome time! It was great seeing everyone I already knew, and meeting those that I didn't -- best group ever, and everyone is always willing to lend a hand when needed. WLM and everyone else who played a part in the organization did a fantastic job, and it's nice be skiing while the boats are still winterized in my garage!

Thanks to everyone who organized it, and everyone who made it a such a fun event!

Outstanding !!!!

Great pics! Especially the ones where Jackie is being operated on!?!

Just pulled in from NC, had to put a few hours in for my company before my return home, I would like to say what a great event this is, and so nice to see everyone again, Thanks to all the crew at WLM for having another great weekend event! special thank Townsend, Mark S for overnight delivery of the wiring harnesses needed for the extensive repair, thanks Joe, for you know it could have been a lot worse? thanks Joe n Tim for helping us land some of the ? engine connections. a new breaker will be installed, so take there advice and check your boats wiring system and fire extinguishers? just so this doesn't happen to anyone else. my dad and I still had a great time this past weekend with everyone    now i need to look at the pictures to see what we missed

Well, we finally ambled our way home last night! We had a great time at our first White lake reunion! A HUGE thank you to Townsend and White Lake marine for the hospitality and sponsoring the event! It was great to see so many of our CCF friend and meet so many new to us CCF friends! Awesome boats, great comradorie, and good food made for a fun weekend.

I apologize for not being around to say good bye on Sunday, I decided to use the dock and some lke time to swap the carb on my 87. Needles to say It took a little longer than I anticipated! But I was glad to see everyone and glad that everyone made it home safe!

We stayed Sunday night at the motel, boy was it quiet..... I think we were the only ones in the entire place! We toured around WL looking at places for sale and just checking the area out. Monday we packed up, took some picks, stoped by WLM and headed up to Quantico VA. We stayed there and got to experience the huge lightning stoms that hit the area! On Tuesday we toured the Marine corps museum(amazing!) then headed home. Arriving at 10 PM with tons of traffic!

We're looking forward to hopefully seeing many of you this summer! Thanks for helping us kick off a great boating season!
