Bunch of Wussies

Man you guys are complaining about that come on that's nothing. Deb and I left for Kelleys Island Friday night and at a little less than half way there I saw the oil pressure gauge bounce. We found we still had an oil leak on the port motor. I decided to turn around and go back to home port and was determined that this was going to get fixed once and for all. Remembering a post I saw on this forum not too long ago I woke up saturday morning and gave my buddy Bruce a call at Lakeland Auto and Marine in Port Clinton Ohio. Well Bruce was busy and couldn't come to the phone so I told the wife let's take a drive. Arriving at the shop I got a moment to talk to Bruce and asked about the Chris Craft Q motor oil pan seal Bruce's reply oh that custom seal only Chris used. Hmmmmmm ok Bruce get me the whoole shootin match for a 350 Q oil pan. After about 20 minutes he came back he handed me a seal and I tell you that thing was at least 5/16" thicker then a std oil pan seal. Ok after a trip to Wally world to make the wife happy we headed back to the marina. I began the process of assembling the swing set to yank the motor at 1 pm at 9:30 pm that night the motor was back in its cradle in the mounts and waiting for me to wire and hook up coolant lines etc on Sunday. Even the wife pitched in to hand me the cast iron oil pan down on my chest to get it back into position on the bottom of the motor. Ever try lifting a cast iron oil pan with 7 qt capacity into position and starting the bolts all by yourself? And you want motrin? bah grow up and suck it up be a man!

ROFLMAO right now.

Oh and yes I did do this this weekend the notor fired at 2pm Sunday. with a minor transmission line leak which was promptly corrected.
