No kidding. I wonder how well that marine version of RainX performs.
]]>Do not even get me started with the lack of rhythm in the windshield wipers, Michael! 🙂
Each wiper has its own switch, so I normally try to time it equally (verrrrry smooth) as I switch them all on one at a time. But when things get rough and the boat’s bouncing all around, it’s hard to time it nicely and you just get what you get.
Also, during all this craziness, the two left windshield wipers quit at one point (for a few minutes!!) and then came back. Then, the right one quit for a few minutes and then came back. They were all on the highest setting, so I assume they stopped to cool off, but man…not really the time when you want to be worrying about not having working windshield wipers!!!
]]>Glad to hear it 🙂 Now you’ll be yawning at those piddly 4-footers…
In the video, what was that port windshield wiper up to?
]]>We didn’t contact our dealer because it was such a specific mechanical problem we were having….that’s the reason we contacted the factory directly. Had we been in our own home area, we would have probably contacted the dealer first (we have a good relationship with them), but we figured they would likely be going to the factory guys for guidance on this one too…and you know, 5 foot seas, Southeast Alaska. 🙂
The dealer here in Juneau has been really helpful and is working to connect us with a good mechanic…so I think we’re in good hands.
]]>Nancy, Kevin just talked to the local dealer and he’s got a mechanic on the way down to help us out. (And the factory contacted us again this morning to check in.) The Nordic is a great boat…I wouldn’t write it off just yet. 🙂
]]>They did a little more than that, but yeah, it seemed funny to us too. We got some good support this morning from PYI (the maker of the shaft seal, which is what overheated) and we’re in contact now with the dealer here in Juneau…so we’ll have it all checked out well before moving on.
]]>Random side thought: one benefit of working with a good boat dealer, I suppose, is that they become the first line of support.
]]>Hi Martin, Kevin talked to PYI this morning and it sounds like it could easily have been the overheating due to cavitation in the following seas. The vibration was likely a separate issue (fishing line or kelp around the shaft that we lost as we went from forward, to neutral, to reverse and then back?) and also the vibration in the shaft/transmission area is probably again a separate issue. We’re going to try to locate a good mechanic here in Juneau to have him inspect all of it, and get under the boat to make sure we’re clear there as well. Thanks again so much for your help on this! -L&K
]]>Kevin’s on the phone with PYI now. (Yes, carbon, stainless). Sounds like he’s getting some great support. Also, see Martin’s comment above…could easily have been the deal (and the vibration where the shaft connects to the transmission could be its own separate issue). Thanks so much for your help and thinking on this! We’ll let you know what we learn.
