After reading many posts, I was just wondering what my fellow Doo'ers Doo for a living.

As for me, I'm a Food Scientist/Quality Assurance Specialist for the food industry. I used to be a QA Manager for a manufacturer named Edner of Nevada, Inc. but recently left (company was a JOKE) but will soon start working for the Mars Corp. Needless to say, since I have a couple of weeks off, I'll be Doo'en until I start work again Lake Tahoe baby

Anyway, I've found that there's a wide variety of people who own Doos ranging from computer wizz's to sales techs so let's hear it!!

Over the weekend, I had a problem with my C180 SCIC. At first, it felt like it simply had no power although the RPM's were normal. The dead giveaway was when it reached ~6000 rpm, it would slip and go all the way to 8K rpm's. It felt like the impellor broke loose at 6K rpm's like a slipping clutch. It WOULD reach 25mph but only if you gradually increase the RPM. It felt like the connection between the motor and impellor would loosen when a substantial load was applied.

Any ideas? I have an appointment for warranty work but it's 1 1/2 weeks away. I probably need a "boat break" anyway.

Thanks in advance.

How does one know when the break-in period is over? Will I notice a performance change? I've gone through 1 1/2 tanks so far so I'm guessing that another 1/2 to 1 tank should be around 5-7 hours. What can I expect?

Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this product. I plan on beaching the Challanger quite a bit but was planning on backing the boat onto the beach for fear of damaging the keel on the sand over and over again. I saw Keelguard in a mag. Here's the link.
