Took the V down to the Chowan river today and rode into the mouth of Bennetts creek. It was a little cloudy but overall a nice day. Caught 15 rock and kept 2 at 19 inches long. Here in NC we can keep three and they have to be 18 inches. Most were 16 to 17 inches long. Had a great time, V ran...

How much snow are you fellas getting up North? Been watching the weather and it looks like you all got hammered!

My buddy has an 86 V20 with a 170 Mercruiser that he rebuilt last summer. He used a rebuilt head he bought from Clearwater Cylinder Head Co. It started missing and running hot. He pulled the head and found it was cracked between a couple of cylinders. Clearwater wouldn't do anything, said his...

Been really busy since last fall but I have had time to add a few things to my V.

Hey Spare, I came down your way early this week. Eight of us from Nucor Steel Hertford Co. went down to Nucor Berkley Mill to look at some equipment like we're buying here. We drove down Monday and stayed at the Comfort Suites at Mount Pleasant. While in the parking lot I noticed two nice V20s...

A couple of friends bought boats this year and asked me how to winterize their motors. One is a 3.0 Mercruiser I/O that by the way he decribed it is just fresh water cooled (no heat exchanger). I told him to look on the block for drains or petcocks to drain out the water. The other guy has a 125...

Been gone awhile, been really busy. The shift mechanic that relieves me at work, on the opposite shift, fell out of a tree bow hunting. He broke his bicept in three places and split the bone length wise. The doctors pinned his bones back together and he'll be out for about 4 months. Had to cover...

A couple of weeks ago my family headed out for a week of much needed rest and relaxation. My wife left with the Forerunner before me loaded with stuff. I did a few more things around the house and mounted a set of teak and stainless steel steps on the V. After I washed and waxed the V, I hooked...
