Don't know about you, but when I run across areas like this in my boat, it almost makes my hair stand straight up, it's a rush, for sure.  That's a good looking paint job. Neat trick with the PVC pipe, too.[ATTACH=full]1[/ATTACH]Shot of the Camo from the Waterline.  Still need to do the interior, but that will wait for the spring.Limits of Teal.  Normally we find more big ducks late in the season on big Texas Reservoirs, but this weekend it was all Teal all the Time.  Won't hear any complaints from this captain.  They taste darn fine.</blockquote>Glad to see you are enjoying the rewards from all the hard work. There's definitely a certain sense of pride of ownership with something like this.    Not a problem, glad to help out. I went through the whole trial and error period with my boat, learning what worked and what didn't, and what to do to improve certain things to make it as user-friendly as possible.  "Engine saver" is a pretty good description of the water strainer. As most of these PWC engine blocks and cylinder heads are made of aluminum castings, you definitely don't want to overheat them, as it can lead to warpage and engine damage. And as I said, once the cooling passages of the engine get clogged with debris, it can be very difficult to clear them, especially if you're on the water. You just about need garden hose pressure to blow it out. The strainer will prevent this issue.Have you installed your water pressure gauge yet? Once you combine that along with the strainer, you will have a fail-safe system.[/QUOTE]
