Congrats on the new boat Lynette and love the screen name. Couldn't get a pink one huh?  Now maybe we can you and Matt to drag her to a reunion or two. You've been an closet 'member' for quite a while but now it's official. You both look great and welcome officially to CCFan!    ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Lynette, Congratulations on the new boat and welcome to CCfan. I can tell from that big smile that you have already fallen in love with the boat. I wish you many an hour of fun with it. Make sure you get some pictures and some text submitted to Keith to add to the diary section. Once it's up, you can then ad an avitar to your profile. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Today was my first day driving my new Nautique and WHAT FUN!! My husband, Matt showed me the ropes, (literally), how to tie up and untie the boat! What the no wake signs mean, the green signs and why red right return is important! THEN I went to the Pinkham School of Docking! Reid was so patient with me as I approached, and reapproached the dock many times. After i finally had one sucessful docking, Reid said, "ok, now 20 more"! (he was not kidding)! The day was perfect & i noticed the sky is bluer,and the clouds fluffier on the boat! Just my imagination?....I don't think so

Good point Matt, but I had to make an exception just this one time while we were manuevering slowing towards the dock, in order to make sure my dock didn't get destroyed. Anyone happen to notice that starboard rear quarter  ? That was from her first docking attempt  . Just kidding!! That was from a previous owner and nothing a elbow grease and decal touch-up wont fix. But Lynette did great nearly conquering the docking class and now has her evil mind set on mastering a power slide. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Don't forget the with my original quote...
The comment about -1 for sitting on the dog house whilst underway was somewhat tongue in cheek, this is a rule and a good safety rule and everyone should be sat down in a seat when under power but at idle or tick over there is no problem and almost everyone will do it at some point (myself included) when coming into dock at very slow speed there is no problem, its just about being safe on the water I feel like Obama being misquoted/half quoted like that ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6102" rel="nofollow - 2001 http://uksn2001.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - SN2001 Blog |

My wife docks the boat better than I do...  I'll do the trailer backing, as there is a significant difference in our skill levels on that front.... but there will be a practice day on trailering soon Having confidence in my wife's ability to handle the boat, trailer and truck is really important for me. I want her to feel like she is able to be in control of the boat in all situations, especially if she needs to put the boat on the trailer etc. Having 2 people at the dock makes a big difference in the load/unload duration too... Really nice ride Lizzy congratulations!!

Hmmm............so while moving 20+, alone in the boat, it's probably not a good idea to let go of the wheel and sit in the rear bench seat to listen to the exhaust is it? Maybe that's why they made the 89+ Nautiques sound like a vacuum cleaner... ------------- |

WOW Lizzy those pics look awesome and looks like you were having a great time....do you fancy adopting an almost 40year old? I am mostly house trained and reasonably clean (I jump in a lake as often as I can to wash off) As our boat was a joint purchase between myself and my partner Gemma the driving/docking/launching/recovering duty's are all shared and Gem is very confident doing any of the tasks involved, it would not much fun if I was the only one that could drive as I want to be hanging from 70' back or enjoying the sunshine from the observer seat on occasions and not stuck in the drivers seat. Confidence comes from driving the boat and you only get that by driving in all conditions and doing all the different tasks, I have total confidence in her ability driving. Whomever is in the driving seat is in control and they get to call the shots everyone else in the boat (myself included) take the orders. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6102" rel="nofollow - 2001 http://uksn2001.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - SN2001 Blog |

Well guys I changed the impeller and it was so fun! I see why you guys love engines n stuff! My wonderful amazing patient husband directed n taught me each step of the way. Thanks Babe!!! I got a little nervous when he said to intentionally stick my fingers n the grease!!!! But n the end I used lots of soap and my boat is happier with its new impeller. Next up....a new steering cable! This is fun! I could not post any pics after seeing Kristofs pic I decided its best that way!!! But thanks for the hazing...its good to be a real member now

Lizzy, Trace the wiring and I believe you will find the horn mounted behind one of the deck vents. Have Reid show you how to use a volt/Ohm meter and check out if the horn is getting the volts. Also, disconnect the wires on the horn and "Ohm" it's coil. You should see some resistance if the coil in the horn isn't burnt out. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Lizzy - Check the ground, mostly likey fault in the circuit. If the horns are indeed bad, you can get new one's for about $30 a pc on the 'net. I added a 3rd horn last year to get a bit more 'bark'. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

There are lots of things going on under that motorbox that I have no business knowing about nor understanding of.....thank goodness for Eddie and my son Dennis. Holy cow..a 'peter meter' and its grown up brother a 'sidekick'. Spent a few hours handling these guys. Could read either of these pretty well..got lots of practice. Hey Steve...exactly what I was thinking about how fast Larry found the famous Kristof pic..kinda scary. Congrats Liz on the boat and your relationship with Matt.

Wow, some good old equipment from the old days of phone repair! The first time I saw one was when we were having issues with a copper pair from one of our alarms. (yes, when it rained!! ) This older repair person (Back then they were not called "techs") shows up and pulls a meter out of an old leather case, phones into the "office" for a shunt to be placed on the pair at that end and then hooks up the meter. He told me it was a "point" meter. To me, it looked just like a Ohm meter with a different scale on it. I guess you phone guys needed to read "points" and not Ohms! The reading he got was not good. I think he spent the rest of the day at plenty of "ped's". The copper pair problem when it rained continued to haunt us and the fire dept started to bill us for their calls. We solved the problem by dumping the copper and going wireless!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Most alarms are wireless now Pete. I used that point meter in the blue case right up til the end and was nice because you could use it with one hand,the other hand you would use to move from pair to pair.The other meter superceeded it but required both hands to operate it,I used it only to measure noise when you had a noise case.When I started we could not even get a meter they were a "capital tool" meaning to expensive and had to be in the budget. To test a pair you'd call the test desk who was manned by the older tech's, some who were out on disability,and they would call the co and the tech there would hook up a remote access line called a "shoe". Then they would test each conductor and have you put on a short to see if the pair made it to you.If he didn't get the short you had no way to tell how far the open was!With the meter as you got good with it you could guess how far the open was by how far the needle deflected as you reversed the key,and as you know the gauge size would change your kick on the meter too. Gauge size now is mostly 24 but 26 was popular in the 70's and is in bad shape now. 19 was used back in the day before remote's due to distance and is real hard to work with when you have to splice too many. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Yes, Schiller Park passed an ordinance requiring us to go wireless (fire only) directly to their monitoring station on all 5 of our systems but I maintained the hard wire to our own monitoring. I'm not too excited about the wireless since it does not point ID the problem and glad we kept the hard wire. With the hard, I can typically tell what's going on when the monitoring station calls me and reports what is tripping the alarm. BTW, that ordinance in Schiller was passed and the alarm company selected was of course due to "politics". Yup, there are VERY close "ties" inside the village with the alarm company!! Internal premise wireless has come a long way as well. Nice since you don't need to pull all that wire through walls with fire blocking in it. I know you have been there many times and have even used the old beaded chain trick!! I installed a wireless in my new shop up north. Nice except the first two controls I got were from my alarm guy that services the plant. He ebays and it's where he got them very cheap. Well, these first two went into full alarm during my programming. My alarm guy found out the two were ADT with special programs!! The third unit was the generic version and is up and running without a problem.------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

 I am SO excited to be US Coast Guard Aux. approved & licensed to drive my boat now!!!! I spent Saturday, for 8 hours, in an awesome class, given by the Coast Guard, to learn more about boating and safety. At the end of class I tested for my boaters license and passed! I HIGHLY recommend this class for all boaters youg & seasoned! It has invaluable information about safety and understanding boaters responsibilities! Boating is FUN, and also a serious responsibility!!!!

Congrats Lizzy! My wife and I took a DNR sponsored safety coarse about 8 years ago. My son was getting a fishing boat and I told him we would go if he did. Well worth the day time investment. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

That is the finishing touch Lizzy! ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |
