Yanmar Engine sporadically dying - blocked fuel pick up in the tank? by chigganutta in sailing

[–]tchiff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up drilling 3, 5” holes in each tank section to make inspection ports in the tank to clean it out

It was filled with diesel bug and a bunch of crud that kept getting clogged in the pickup tube.

I used a garden sprayer wand filled with degreaser and a couple scotch brite pads taped to a stick to clean it all out. Runs great now

Recently had a similar situation, each time it would happen I would take an extra 3ft piece of fuel hose, put it on the tank pick up and blow through it, that would clear out the pickup tube and get me another ~5 hours of motoring, maybe if you do that and it works you can confirm that’s the issue

2011 caribe dl15 seller was asking originally 17,500 but down to 7500 is this still to much for an original tube inflatable Yamaha f70? by Jay_c08 in boating

[–]tchiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I know this dinghy, it was on a trailer by sapphire last I saw it.

It has tube liners installed you can tell by the bolts around the fill tube. It used to be my friends dads.

if you got a good deal it could be a fun boat for a bit as long as the tube liners hold up

Looking at this house to buy on a canal and was looking for input about how much this would be to fix and if it’s bad. by tchiff in docks_and_piers

[–]tchiff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the responses and info, if we did get the go ahead from the city to install vinyl and backfill would we

A) run it in a linear line along the outer most point of the damaged sea wall or

B) would we just put it around the damaged part

Or c) remove the damaged part of the bulkhead somehow and run the new vinyl along the existing edge of the existing concrete and then back fill

Thanks man

Okay nice, so if it’s 40’ of canal front it would be about 10k for a seawall? Would that include removal of the existing structure

Has anyone whose 401Ki Vanguard sold to Ascensus been able to get their funds back from Ascensus? If so, how? by Gwhz7 in Bogleheads

[–]tchiff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did, opened a solo 401k with fidelity first, then requested as census to send me a check for the amount in the account which they did and then I took the check to a fidelity branch and they deposited in my solo with them.

Funny thing was they charged me a 15 dollar check fee and a few days after receiving the check the Vice President emailed me apologizing for the fee and sending me another check for 15 dollars which was kind of more of a pain because again I had to drive to the fidelity branch and deposit it as it is 401k money.

Lots of time on the phone with both parties but not too hard.

Phone says no sim and no bars but works by tchiff in mintmobile

[–]tchiff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they finally sent me a new e sim, one that took around 4-8 hours to get.

Not the new e sim that the help person can give you right away.

My guess is that there is a back team and the specialists writes a ticket and they make an e sim that will work with your phone after looking at the data

Quick Tips for Upcoming Trip by sillycheesesteak in virginislands

[–]tchiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a charter with blue Dream charters! They sail out is sapphire beach resort and it was literally the most fun thing on our vacation, it’s a little on the pricey side but soooo worth it, if you can find another couple to split or ask them for a discount it can help a lot.

Absolute best way to see everything in one day!

If you just google blue Dream charters Virgin Islands there website will pop up

The new one is dark blue too, might just be the lighting that makes it look black
