In the near-term she'll be on the gulf coast of Florida. She might make it into Lake Michigan one of these summers... but that's a ways out!

Still off-topic.... but this is what it looks like when three guys drop by to do a little servicing on one of your 1200HP engines!

No pictures (but I can get some upon request)...
I had to fix a lot of muskrat damage to The 'Blocker this year....  Aside from that, the only major change or addition that I made was a ballast system. I added additional flotation to the stern of her a couple of years ago which changed the center of buoyancy for the boat. After that, when people would congregate at the bow (common) during a cruise, I ran into problems plowing the nose into wakes and rollers. The only solution was to force folks to the stern. So I added a stern ballast system. I can now flood the rear pod (21" in diameter and about 10' long) which can put up to about 1500lbs of ballast behind the center of buoyancy. I built the system using a "Ballast King" style reversible ballast pump. The "tank" level is instrumented and I connected that sender into the NMEA 2K backbone, so the level can be displayed on any of my helm gauges. It all works quite well in the driveway. Getting a late start this year due to the Florida activity.... so she hasn't gone into the lake yet. Planning on doing that tonight.

Blocker,
Hey man. Morgan here. Its been a while. Got my party hut pulled for winter repairs, and the stern thruster is giving me trouble. It lowers just fine, but when raising it, the actuator doesn't seem to have enough power to raise it all the way. I think it is because I am having the actuator push out, to push the thruster arm up and against the bottom of the boat. I need a lever of some type, but cant figure it out. Do you have a video of yours moving up and down? Id like to see what you did more closely. Thanks.   |
