Man much props to RDP for always helping each other out...but even more props to @Socalx09 to stick it out after the season start they have been having....I think most people would have thrown in the towel by now and just called it a season....

Thank you! I think after having to miss a season due to medical reasons before, we both have decided to remain optimistic and try to make it out each trip.

I probably need to thank @C-Ya for his Nvidia thread as we invested early this year and it has paid for more than half of these repairs so far. Without that, we’d be in a lot of debt right now or would have just put the boat away for the summer until we could afford it.

And, Robert who is working overtime in the heat or a motor room for paying for the rest of it. He is a trooper because there were many times when I thought he was just going to say we are done boating and let’s go home.

I’m just making lunches and trying to do what I can on my end. RDP members have been keeping our summer alive and we can’t thank you all enough.

Wohoo!!! The transom assembly is at absolute and Aaron said it checked out!

Thank you everyone for helping out. I’m so thankful for @dezrtracer friends and @HNL2LHC for helping me out today so I didn’t have to drive there early.

Hopefully it can be done in time for the weekend!

Big thanks to @dezrtracer for helping us out and getting our boat back on the water.

Any one have a used bravo 1 transom assmebly? When they pulled the engine to fix the transom leak, they found that the transom assembly is too corroded for the water intake hose to be attached. And, adding a block off plate isn’t an option either.

Pretty much this boating season sucks….

I had a similar issue. Took mine to Savage and they worked wonders
My water pickup line that crosses the transom was about 90% corroded. They pulled the engine and drive and had me back in a day.

Just went by absolute and were hoping that the boat will be ready by the end of the day! Engine is still out, but they are really working to get it done for us. Thanks again @dezrtracer for saving our weekend!

Well it’s officially the weekend now, how did this RDP weekend rescue op go?

At 5pm the engine was getting put back in and hooked up. They were staying late. Will be ready for us in the morning. So relieved that we finally can take it out tomorrow and put it back in a storage unit on Sunday. It hasn’t been in the storage unit since the beginning of May.

We still had a good day. Went in the pool, took my dad’s boat out for a little bit and got errands done that we normally don’t do. Robert got to sleep more than his normal 5 hours and recharge.

So did it make it through the weekend and get to go in your unit?

Yes it is back at the storage unit. No problems all weekend. Robert drove it yesterday and I did the driving today. On the way back to socal now.

Really can’t thank Absolute enough for turning it around. They have saved many weekends for us this season.

I’m so thankful for this website and all members
