St. Croix River, Sunday June 20th
« on: June 17, 2010, 11:07:45 PM »
Well Well...  I'm finally going to burn some gas!  I see that a few people are considering the St. Croix on Sunday, so I thought I would start a thread on the topic.

I would like to get out there a little early since I don't feel like getting pounded going down river.  I'm going to shoot for between 10am and 11am at the Hudson public ramp.

I've been kinda distant from the public eye on the board for a few months...  I think that it's because of the "Silver Fox" needing the motor work, and then the whole "starting the adoption process" thing.

So, with all of that, I'm looking forward to getting out there again.  I understand that it's Fathers Day and all, but the weather is supposed to be nice.  Those of you that are fathers can say that it's what you want to do to celebrate!

Who's in?  I know that there are even some new members that I don't know.  (Shame on me).  So, please let me know if and when so I can meet up with you!

Brian

Weather looks great for Sunday. We usually launch at St Croix Bluffs. Beanies is second choice.  We plan to be out by 11am and go north.

I'll be on the St Croix Saturday 6/19 if anyone is interested.
Plan to launch at Hudson between 10 & 11
Headed for the 'Y' camp south of Hudson, then unsure.

I'm headed out to Minnetonka here as soon sas my wife gets back with my two oldest for a Friday/Saturday overnight. So I might be push'in it with the spouse if I tell her I'm going boating w/CGOAMN club on Sunday even if it is Fahter's day.

Jeff had mentioned to me this week that you and Lisa we're starting that process.  Awesome! Someday I may get on Facebook.

If we bump into you, we will go north with ya...  I don't go north too often because the big CVX-20 doesn't really like the no wake zones.  Then again, I haven't had the boat out too much this year, so it might be nice to have the current to my advantage.

I got the boat all buttoned up tonight.  I think that's what has been preventing me from wanting to go boating.  I had to put the interior back in and I hate that job.

Anyway, it's purring like a lion and ready to go!

See you Sunday morning!

No go for us Sunday on the river. Our maiden voyage tonight ended up with us being towed back to shore. Think we are overheating causing a vapor lock fuel problem. Don't know if we can find a thermostat on Sunday. Jumps to 180 deg quickly then climbs close to 240. May be poor circulation also. Time to troubleshoot.

Any thoughts??

I know mine is always around 140 never above 150. Which sems cool to me. Maybe you have a bad impeller in the lower unit. Does it overheat on muffs in the driveway?

Not sure you'd call it over heating, now That I slept on it. Consistantly at 180 then rises if idling on muffs or in water. I think the p/o put in an auto t- stat. Pulling it now.

Lower unit off to change the impeller? Had a Cobra that had a cover plate, changed in 5 minutes.

Correction - 48MPH / @ 5600 RPM

Test  with GPS - 48 MPH Speedo = 47 MPH GPS

Ever get her running right Jim? Did switching the props help or was it just not having me in the boat that helped?
