Drive backwards if you are able to.......seriously. This used to happen to me on my '88 Ranger. If you drive in reverse, it causes the self adjuster to re-set the shoes and will quite often snap the cable back. I had to do that on several occasions........ My 2 cents worth anyway. Hope it helps.... Bill

Wooohooooooo!! Nice fish Bly!! WTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

TJ...I am very envious As well....my most fav band of all time. The lyrics have thought put into them and tell a story. The music is very technical, complex, and well thought out (at least in my estimations anyway). I have seen them a number of times myself, though not as of late. As for fav songs, I could list far too many here, but if I were to pick three, would be La Villa Strangiato, YYZ.....was amazed when I learned Morse code and figured out that the first part of the song was based on the morse code for the airport code for Toronto, and then Jacob's Ladder...Does anyone know how many times Neil changes the timing on the fly in that song? Ill give that air guitar champion a run for his money if they want to do it to a rush song. Or even air drums for that matter The talents of these guys never cease to amaze me...... Thanks very much for posting the pics TJ!!!!!! Bill

Sorry to hear the news.....Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bill

Nice fish....and nice reaction from the cottagers too WTG!!! Bill

The motor was broken in the day before in excess of the manuals instructions. Manual called for varying throttle for first hour of operation but not wide open, and second hour was similar with short bursts of WOT. The engine was run at varying throttle (but not WOT) for 2 hours and similar for the three hour and next half hour mark with occasional WOT. Explained this to the dealer and was told that was more than adequate. They checked the engine over and found nothing to be out of the ordinary....so them and me are still none the wiser....

If its an older motor it may not...It was a 25 HP Yamaha I had the problem with. Thermostat stuck closed and it would overheat. Stop the motor for a bit and it would be ok for 10 minutes or so more. Was out in the middle of Moira lake when it happened.....was lucky someone stopped to give me a tow to the marina. My new Merc has an alarm so bloody loud you can hear it clear across the other side of the lake. Second day I had the thing out on the water the cooling system packed it in......and there is no way you could miss the alarm. Needless to say I let it cool....restarted it and it was fine idling...enough so to get me over to someone to ask for help (after they already went by me as I was waving my hands above my head frantically to get them to stop....to which they replied with a wave and kept going for a bit.). The odd part about it was that I took it back to where I bought it, and they could not find anything wrong with it. Had no problems since then either (touch wood). Bill

Any chance of a bad thermostat/overheat problem? Sounds like it runs long enough to get hot.......bogs......cools down and then goes again until it gets hot..... Just a thought anyway. That happened to me a few years ago. Still a cheap fix but a PITA just the same Bill
