Well, a neighbor somewhere around me complained about my donor boat engine being "too loud" don't know who, but this is the first time I have had this happen.
I did have the outdrive off, and when I went to start her up the engine was full forward WOT...and I forgot about that.
I feel bad :( that I bothered someone to the point that they had to call the police. I wish they would have let me know first. The police officer was nice:). i guess it is, what it is...
but I think this is the straw that breaks the camels back for me. I just think I need to do away with my boat projects.I think it is time to move on to something else
I have some parts to get to Brandon, and remove anything else that I can sell from the donor boat. Then I am done!
I will try and sell the chaparral as is, and try to get the donor engine checked out, and running good, then sell it separate...it's all going...
sorry, just frustrated:(
-
Don't even think about doing that...Get the new motor in the boat take your wife and daughters to the lake. Your way to close to throw in the towel!!!
Take some of your own advice:
Love your wife, Love your family, Love your friends, Love your coworkers, Love your Boss, Love your enemies, Love your animals, Love your talents, Love your weaknesses, We are only here for a minute.. Just love life...I do...
When you get it done offer to take the neighbors for a ride....

I agree, step back take a few deep breaths. Its only one time, nothing to panic over. I had a neighbor get ticked at me the first year I had Phoenix. They will get used to it. Heck my neighbors look forward to hearing the engine running. When I fired up my 140 for the first time they all came running to see it operating and congratulate me on my success.
-
I'd not give up something I enjoy because some goody two shoes neighbor had to bring some of my business to the attention of the police, I'd continue progress until they made their selves known by filing a ligitimate complaint, that would bring you face to face, dought they would want that, just my opinion.
-
Sleep on it. You'll change your mind. You don't seem like the quitter type. Once you finally get on the water you will the addicted.
-
and when I went to start her up the engine was full forward WOT...and I forgot about that.
You probably scared them Dwayne, startled you too I'll bet! I'm with the rest of the gang here - don't give up now you're TOO CLOSE to being at the end of this saga and enjoying the fruits of your labor.
I try to keep things down between 9PM and 8AM, out of consideration for the neighbors. Other than that all bets are off. I wish I lived next door to Ole Red, he's have to run me off every time he fired one up! ;D
-
Thanks to all for the encouraging words.
I have owned this home for 8 years, and have worked on many engine related projects, and even run my chainsaw all day sometimes, but never had the police called on me, until last night.
Yes, Marks, it did scare me too, But what bothers mee is probably within 2 minutes of the start up, the police was standing at my gate. I think that someone was watching me get into the boat, knowing I was going to start it up, then called the police.
I am not sure if that is how it went down, just my thoughts.
I know if I decide to keep moving forward, I will have to run the 140 on the ground, so i can figure out what is causing the rough running, and amongst other bugs to work out, before I even think about putting that 140 in the Chap.
My wife is upset as I am, but she wants me to continue also, but not sure about that. The police could be called again on me, then what?
This was only at 6:30pm last evening.
Well, I gues I have to make a decision...even if i decided to move forward, I'm not sure if the noise can be dampered from the exhaust, and not sure if my alpha one gen 2 drive is any good ect...
Thanks again folks, you all are great people
-
I wouldn't worry about police being called. Are you even breaking any laws? Just keep at it.
-
" Are you even breaking any laws ? "
If Police come again you should ask them ...
Your getting so close now ... Keep at it !
-
First time I started up my boat I had an older neighbor show up to see what the noise was. He was reminded of his glory days of stock car racing lol.
The only time I've had any of mine complain was when I was working out in the garage with an angle grinder at 10:30 pm on a Thursday night... said he could hear me through his open window trying to sleep. I do try and keep it down after 10 pm most of the time, or at least close my garage doors if I'm doing something loud. But most of my neighbors are pretty "handy" themselves, so we are all loud from time to time.
-
I say hold that signal finger high in the air and do what ever you want to do on your own property as long as it's a "decent" hour of the day. My guide lines are if I don't want to hear it happen to me in the future then I won't do it at that time. I even pick windy days for motor tests & tunes so as not to fog up the yards with 2-stroke. Yes be a courteous neighbor but as long as it's not the middle of the night let it fly. Besides mistakes happen. It wasn't a purposeful thing to start it at WOT.
Now my neighbor 3 houses to my east has an open exhaust SBC powered mini truck that he has been building for years. Last year it was complete enough to do burnouts in his driveway with. That got old real fast no matter the time of the day.
As far as the police coming to visit you. Well that happens. With the "nanny" state of affairs there in most police departments they are required to check out all reports instead of the dispatchers telling the callers that it's not a police matter and don't call back about it. We have ordinances here about lots of stuff and the amount of acceptable noise and when it is allowed. And these matters are to be reported on the township's website to the code enforcement team not 911.
And for the record my next door neighbor texted me a on a Friday night few weeks back when I was mowing my lawn at 9:15PM reminding me he gets up at 4AM for work. I said sorry and that it was now or late Sunday evening pick one. He was fine with it and I did it as fast as I could. He woke us up Sunday with 2 hours of rototilling at 10AM. It happens. No biggy.
-
Thanks fo the concerns, and stories..I like them
Now I don't know if I have broken any law. I will have to check into the city of Griffin noise ordinance, and read it, then I will know.
Idk...maybe it was another sign?
Someone said " I'm way over my head with these boat projects" maybe they are right? And maybe that is another sigh to get out!
As you all have mentioned to keep moving forward, and maybe that is what I will do. I do need to think about it, and remove my ad from CL.
I can honestly say this is the best forum I have had the privilege to belong too.
Thanks for your honesty, and I know now why I like it here, good place to be...

" someone complained about a loud boat engine noise,
Sounds like a fairly close neighbor that knew it was a boat. I consider myself quite lucky to not have any neighbors within close range of any of my motor activities, but that does not apply to everyone. I would look at methods to keep down the noise, but would not walk on eggshells either. Could be just a singular occurance, maybe a new baby in the area, new shift worker, or something similiar. Take a day or two off, but do not give up. We have all had times when we wanted to throw in the towel, but believe me, a day spent boating with the family, it rarely gets better than that.

I agree with ya:)
And I got a copy of the county ordinance for Spalding County, and will read it soon
-
for many years after i moved to my home in N St Paul (been there for 24 years) it seemed some of my neighbors had the police on speed-dial...
if they get a call they have to respond, after a while they get tired of the same people calling for no good reason.
I'm not saying I've never been at fault just that most of the time it was not warranted, as it sounds like in you're case.
as far as yer statement
Quote
"Someone said " I'm way over my head with these boat projects" maybe they are right? And maybe that is another sigh to get out!"
someone once said to me "if yer not livin on the edge yer takin up too much space" i equate that with being in "over yer head"
heck i think im in over my head most of the time, its obvious yer a good "fixer" you can do this for sure.
-
thank y'all again for the encouragement.
I still am a little shook up over the whole deal, and sure with time I will get over it.
I will read that ordinance tonight, and quote what I have read....and then maybe my " Signal Finger" will have to come out of hiding lol
thanks!

Police officers, good ones anyway, always take down that exact information anytime they talk to, well, anyone during a call. It is for everyone's protection. Also sounds like there was no violation, especially at that time of day, sheesh.

Believe me, I'm familiar with how the police do what they do, and don't get paid enough for it IMO, and no violation for me :)

Many of us really have been in similar shoes - and it's easier giving this advice than it is to personally follow it - but really, don't let it bother you.
We still have an old motorhome that we've been meaning to get rid of, but I want to remove certain items and just haven't gotten everything done that I need to to put it up for sale yet. Luckily we live in a fairly liberal neighborhood that has tolerated having two in the driveway - but as you might guess, last fall an officer visited us with a complaint.
Ironically, even though it really takes your psyche for a loop of everything from embarrassment to anger, it really turned out to have positive aftermath portions. I talked to many of my neighbors who understand and don't seem to have a problem with it - even the responding officer seemed to feel embarrassed to even have to make the visit - especially when I asked him if our place seemed junky to him even though we admit that we would like to get rid of it sooner as well as a few other things, but he said he would trade his place for ours anytime (that really made me feel better during what I would describe as being a bit blind sided & "shell shocked"). But while talking to our neighbors, we not only discovered the person who most likely made the complaint (one immediate next door neighbor), but also discovered how people who moved into the neighborhood had a totally different (and bad) opinion of us before they got to know us based on what these people had told them about us. And these are people who asked us to watch their dog when away and always acted like they liked being our neighbors.
So really, don't let it throw you. We still need to get rid of that camper, and they are still tolerating us - but we've had the opportunity to meet many more of our neighbors - and I'm not going to say we are surrounded by all neighbors that we'd be close friends with, but I think it's mostly been a positive experience. :)

I did my reading of the NOISE ABATEMENT AND CONTROL
" Vehicle Repair in residential areas.The repairing, or testing of any motor vehicle or Its engine between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. within any residential area in such a manner as to disturb the peace, quiet, and comfort of the residences of the area"
Now I work for the government, all day interpreting code, and can clearly read that I was in no violation, according to this paragraph.
I guess It was my new arrogant neighbor, that called the police on me, not positive, but he was sitting on the deck, on his cell phone, so maybe he couldn't hear who he was talking too. idk.
I am going to talk to him. I will say " I apologize for the police showing up at my fence gate at 6:30 p.m., with a complaint that my boat engine was too loud. I will explain to him that in the 8 years I have owned this home, I never had a complaint about anything that i worked on or otherwise. I also will let him know that it was an accident that I could have prevented, had I payed more attention to what I was doing" and see his reaction
my wife thinks maybe he ( if indeed called the police) he may do it again as soon as I try to start her up again, without it being in WOT....
-
If it really is him then ask him when a good time would be. If you two have a dialog and determine when a good time is then it might go over better when you do start it up. You don't have the intent to disturb the peace just trying to go about your own business. Not like it's loud music or explosives going off at all hours of the day and night.

thanks for the input, and I may try that...

I have made a decision to continue with my boat project, after much consideration, and the encourgement of others.
I just got to figure out a way to cut down on the exhaust noise when running the engine on the ground for the troubleshooting I will need to do before she is put into the Chap
Any suggestions?
Thanks to all for you support, and stories
-
get a cheap muffler and some of this stuff.

-
We've used products like that hose here and it works well. It helps with noise reduction and noise & smoke relocation
-
Thanks!
So it probably will do what I need, cut down on noise.
Will that fit over the end of the exhaust riser?
If so, then I need to order some

You'll have to measure your riser. It's really meant for a shop to slip over a tail pipe and out a hole in the garage door. I have wanted one for a while when working on cars in the winter in the garage.

yes Jason, and Marks is close to that magical store also:)
-
yes Jason, and Marks is close to that magical store also:)
Yup, drive by it twice a day (on days I go to work). It's a Motor Head's Candy Store! They carry marine stuff too, but luckily (for me) nothing for outboards.
My last trip there was to get a set of rear spring hangers from Ford Racing to level the ride height of my F-150. The boat trailer is the heaviest thing I haul these days, I want to give it more of a "street stance" without screwing up the ride.

I read this entire thread and it absolutely pisses me off.
Should we be courteous to our neighbors? Yes, we should treat them as we expect to be treated. Should we bow down and kiss their posteriors, allowing them to dictate their rules to us? Absolutely not!
Unfortunately people like this neighboring jerk are out there. We have one in our neighborhood. She called the sheriff when I used my tractor to smooth the gravel on the lane (county right-of-way, not maintained by the county). When the road department got involved I had an enlightening conversation with them about the neighbors: Some people have no life and like to stir things up. They have a need for drama and this is their outlet for it. They are powerless people who crave power over others.
So I am sorry you have crappy neighbors. Don't let them run your life. You know the noise ordinance rules for the area you live in. Abide by them. The rest of the time run that boat and do whatever you want. If the cops show up, ask what ordinance you are violating, knowing full well they would not be able to articulate it to you. The neighbor will quickly get a reputation with the local law enforcement as a waste of time.
Let your sad, pathetic neighbors go about their lives. They have no power over you unless you give it to them. Refuse to do so. They have no authority over you.
Just my $.02...

Summit is only 20 miles away, I would be in trouble with my bride for certain. Likely worse if it were a McKenzie's or ORW, luv dirt and off road almost better than boating. Anyway, I digress, as for exhaust note. I use cheap 4" drain tile, its nothing more than direct bury plastic, but if your just doing some tuning and testing, it works well, especially if laid flat to fill up a bit with water overall, I have found just taking the edge off the sound is good enough. If your going to run for extended periods, then maybe the metal stuff might work better. My exhaust is coupled with rubber hose, so the area really never gets to hot.

" Amen" " Amen"
thanks! I just got vary upset, especially when this project has been kicking my butt! wanted to throw in the towel, raise the white flag
Thanks to the support of family, and members I have since moved forward, and are trying to get over it:)

I agree about Summit, and wish I had my old 69 Chevelle back, just so I could go spend some time at Summit :)
Now about the 4" non perforated black drain tile. I inspect it 2-3 times a week , never dawned on me that i could possibly use that.
I will get some soon...thanks for the heads up on that
-
... I have since moved forward, and are trying to get over it:)
Okay. Good. Saying it is the first step.
As your Glastron support group therapy continues, please post a video of your 'too loud' boat running in your driveway. Allow the rest of us to share in the fun!

lol...the next time i start her up, I will shoot the video, she wont be as loud as she way that day lol
-
Well, what can I say...
I been working hard to get to the point of being able to start up the old Merc, and I did today :), However! after fooling around with it for only a few minutes, then shut it down in fear that the noise would once again cause someone to call the Police....and I did take a video of the engine running, and will upload it to this post, as soon as it uploads to youtube
I was sitting on a bucket, facing the starboard side of the engine, and it so happens that when I sit on that side of the engine, I'm facing the back yard property line. I was trying to figure out how I'm going to get my EST distributor ignition coil connector to rotate past the fuel line 5/8'' brass nut, which BTW it will not at this point, have to figure somethng out.
Well, while I was trying to figure that out so I could fire it back up and set the timing, I saw someone walk over to the right rear corner of my fence, and he look right at me, and I looked at him, and he quickly walked off. I'm not sure where he came from, but I feel that he may have been the one that called the Police on me the first time. I'm not positive but I would think so, since he went out of his way to inspect where the loud noise was coming from. I was barely even above idle just for a short burst or two checking out the carb, which wants to cut out when I quickly give it gas but wll idle. (I will add this issue to my other thread)
Well I know that I need to do something about the open exhaust sound. I think maybe I will put some sort of hose on the exhaust rubber boot, and run the hose over into a large bucket of water. I don't feel like I can continue working on the engine until I resolve this issue, and don't want to keep feeling like I have to look over my shoulders, or keep my eye on the rear property, every time I need to work on this Merc.
Any suggestion on how I can lower the noise level on the open exhaust, would be appreciated
thanks

Can you make the fence taller?
-
What does he do if you're out in the yard mowing the lawn? These boat engines aren't that loud where I would think it was a bother. I would think a lawn mower or leaf blower would be more annoying. What if someone comes by with a Harley motorcycle or hot-rod, then what? I'd say you're entitled to run your engine during reasonable hours and if the police come demonstrate to them your engine to show them how unreasonable your neighbor is.
-
So...you've got one of 'those' neighbors huh? We all do Buck...keep the duration reasonable and during the day. I thought you'd already checked the regulations and confirmed you were ok?
I try to be a very considerate neighbor too, but there are some that just can't be pleased...
-
Buck
be considerate day time and early evening.
but you are not going to run it for hours on end
You are not doing anything wrong
I would say let her Buck
-
Maybe you should call the cops before you start your boat to let them know your neighbor will be calling shortly and if they want to waste more of their valuable resources to send out the reinforcements right away. As an outsider it sounds like your neighbor is not happy with his/her life and is spreading that disease where ever they can. I wouldn't worry about the exhaust. The sooner it is done, the sooner your neighbor can be alone again.
-
Can you get a 55 gallon drum to run it in? Even though I am in the "sticks" so I don't have to be bothered by pricks, I run, at least, my outboard in a plastic 55 gallon drum I picked up for nothing. I had to modify it to get the motor to fit right when tilted down and full of water but its pretty quiet. I put a drain in the bottom.
Otherwise I would fire up a chain saw and let it run near the property line. If you are doing this and not at 10:00-11:00 at night or 5:00 AM, I think you are perfectly in the right.
Neighbors can be dinkasaurus', thats for sure.
-
Can you make the fence taller?
thanks, but a taller fence wont matter in this case, but 100 acres of land between me and the neighbors, would work, maybe lol

thanks, I run my loud ass lawn mower!, use my air impact, air gun, and so on..If the Police get called again. I will do what you said, if I have too
all I am dong is trying to get the engine right before I put it in. I don't have too but I need too

thanks, yep one of " those" neighbors. I'm just speculating I guess that he was the one who called, and yep! I'm within regulations, even printed it out so I would have it. I too think about my neighbors , but some you can't please

thanks, I don't run it for hours, hell I just got it running, but need to do tweeking, tinkering ect on it, you know what I mean?
I am going to keep going, even run it some tomorrow if I can. I need to set the timing:)
Buck on! I am

thanks, maybe that is an idea worth considering. idk. I agree with ya, however you and I know it's never going to be done lol
I still have the lots of work on her, ahead of me..

thanks, I have thought about that idea, however the engine is out of the boat, and on the ground. I think maybe this is a new neighbor idk. I will come up with somethng

I'm going to change my signature...

This is a bunch of Bravo-Sierra from your neighbor. I can come and visit, and bring along something to run in your driveway:
http://youtu.be/OLNJfYTnADQ (http://youtu.be/OLNJfYTnADQ)
And it is even a boat motor!!! Did my neighbors complain? Nope. But one of them did come over to check it out in person and hear it run. You need to either ignore your neighbors or simply move.
(No thread hijack intended... That is a race motor from a National Mod Hydroplane. It is the last motor my uncle ever built. I fired it up for the first time in 4 years last weekend. I cut out the part of the video where I had a stiff drink an toasted my uncle. I miss him. Anyway, the motor is completely impractical for anything not race related. It made over 600hp on the engine dyno, idles when warm at 1500rpm, and has a cam which starts making power at 5k RPM.)

This whole topic is funny this month being this is what we are all looking at on our CGOAMN calendar. Give Red a call. He'll give you the secret to happy neighbors!

This was my engine build brake in...notice it's dark out it was about 9pm. I'm outside of city limits but in a 30ish house development on 1/2 to 2 acre lots...When that fired up, I just had neighbors ask what kind of cool project I was working on now.

Cool! that sounds LOUD!!!
I wish I had neighbors who work on mechanical stuff like I do. I would enjoy some company sometimes, I do have one good neighbor and friend across the street, who like this kinda stuff, and i enjoy his company and input when he comes over
