Title: FISHERMEN/ Troubled times......
Post by: 1captainron on June 16, 2012, 05:36:11 PM: Unfortunately for me, it's my turn in the barrel once again.
We blew an engine this morning, naturally right before the biggest day of the year in Father Day and the week when I have several charters.

My fault I guess for going with Duetz Diesel's.:mad:
They promised the world with parts and service, now I can't even find a mechanic who wants to touch these things!!

Looks like were going to be out several weeks. Will keep you posted on the progress. Sorry Guys.

Capt.Ron

I hope it is a quick and inexpensive fix and your are back doing what you love soon.

Post by: ReelFun on June 17, 2012, 11:38:32 AM: Capt. Ron,

Very sorry to her about your engine just at the height of the season. Two years ago my engine (outboard) died just at the same time (June) and it was a mad scramble to repower. Took a few weeks and a dozen or so lost charters. I know your pain.........hang in there.

Capt. John

Post by: IrishAyes on June 17, 2012, 02:04:54 PM: Good luck on the repair. I hope it is a quick one. If the repair people put in as much effort into getting you back on the water as you do getting your patrons on fish it will be a short downtime. t^
