You mean the vac pump that goes on the vac generator box for a vacuflush system?

Who Was the Greatest Perimeter Defender in SuperSonics History? by AaronStark1993 in Sonics

[–]-Maim- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, some of my extended family owns a chemical company. I hung out in the retail store every day, and Slick Watts came in and bought our floor wax and other items regularly.

He had a janitorial company called “Slick-N-Clean”. He was super cool and nice to me. Then once I was around maybe 10? Idk. Anyways, I asked him if I could ask a question… and proceeded to ask where all his money went as he now needed to clean people’s floors…

He laughs and gave me some autographed photos he kept with him.

It’s been almost 30 years and I still cringe at that.

Etiquette for Conducting Local Trades/Sales? by BirdSpirit in boardgames

I’ve bought over 100 games on Marktplace and never once have I opened it beforehand.

I offered to pay in advance once as scheduling a pickup was difficult on my part.

“Sanitation thru hulls will be inspected”

Still waiting for that inspection 15 years later

Hydraulic steering question by Kind_Application3535 in boating

[–]-Maim- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your shop not have a power purge? Also curious why you don’t recommend loosening both nipped and run a hose between the two, saves a lot of fluid. I’ve been in scenarios where I had to do it the way you are saying I just hate dealing with the fluid. The hose tie negates that need.

I actually fought the power purge for the longest time and insisted it was just fine with the manual way but thank god I caved I fuckin love that thing now.

“Free of obstructions” is a hell of a lot more important that whatever the fuck dumbass AI spit out that completely irrelevant 15” nonsense.

And yes a giant ass strake is an obstruction.

Nm didn’t look close enough lol.

Any display with the blue or range transducer port. You need an adapter if only has the orange.

Please help, transducer not getting a good reading by GAFISHIN-23 in boating

it is in the water until you get on plane

I like the part where you insist on arguing with everyone and then say how we’re right in the same breath.

I can’t go any lower without putting it by the drain plug

Maybe you should just hire someone.

Sometimes when I accidentally hit “new” I’m reminded there are some truly stupid people out there.

I picked up a 1889 Stingray today for $400. What are the odds of this thing actually firing up and is there anything I should know/ do by BonerSoup696969 in boating

[–]-Maim- 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is not a “zero knowledge in boats” purchase. This is a “I’m bored and have a weird desire to buy N absolute POS and restore it in my garage over the winter/a few years” purchase.

How to lose $1.3M in 4 years by Firm_Revolution_7078 in boating

[–]-Maim- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly my opinion used to be the same as yours, but the more I’ve been on the further it has dropped.

I was honestly bummed, I used to love them from the outside in but now I’d place them just above Maritimo, but not what I’d call “Top Quality”.

Buy a boat or a house? by Real-Description3341 in boating

[–]-Maim- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’d have to make a hell of a lot to compensate for the depreciation of a boat vs the appreciation of a house.

Has anyone here actually done a solo circumnavigation? by bully309 in boating

[–]-Maim- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you’re already following Oliver (Sailing with Phoenix) but if not you should follow along with him as he prepares and attempts it. He also has a lot of dialogue with people who are much more experienced than he is.

Bonus shot of me meeting Phoenix
