 SETX '14 broken parts list
What all did everyone tear up this year??
I know we had a sunk boat (that ran later that day) two boats trying to screw each other in the middle of moon pond and plenty of other stuck folks (including myself)...
I managed to: -break a tiller handle -break a throttle cable -smoke a fresh rebuild on a prop -pretty sure I finished off a lower bearing and probably a seal too
I know there's gotta be more torn up stuff the morning after.

 Re: SETX '14 broken parts list
Immediate effects of the sinking: Lost 1 boot, glasses, 80' 5/8" spectra towline, cell phone dead....
After effects of the sinking: Electrical system went completely haywire at the end of the day, Carb float valve fucked again, fuel tank pickup plugged up.

 Re: SETX '14 broken parts list
Man take a water hose to that thing today and get it all rinsed off. That salt water is no joke.
Also, something I've done on waterlogged equipment before, dump your fuel out. Get a big bottle of rubbing alcohol and pour it in the tank, shake it up really well and dump that. Refill it with fresh fuel. The alcohol will absorb the water and dry it out. 100% methanol works well too if you can get your hands on some. Great for cleaning fuel systems and carbs in general.

All I suffered was some nice scratches on the GG, A very muddy boat, and one hell of a sunburn on my face.

 Re: SETX '14 broken parts list
Throttle cable broke coming into the gsu pond (worse place it could happen ) where you go over the hump. . Broke at the Z crimp where attaches . 5 minute field fix and moving again. , I was sweating bullets I was going to get run over . Towards afternoon I kept having to pump the bulb , going to look into an electric pump. .all in all no other issues. .
