Skeeter On Fire
I Fished A Split Tourney, Morning And Night, It Ended At 200am I Noticed That My Batteries Were About To Die, So I Weighed In Early, After The Weigh In My Motor Would Not Start, Someone Tried To Jump My Motor, It Wouldnt Get Enough Juice, So I Charged My Battery At The Marina For A While, My Motor Soon Fired Up, I Began To Jet Across The Lake To Another Marina Where I Had Launched Earlier. All Of Sudden My Engine Died And I Began To Smell Smoke, I Turned Around And Fire Was Shooting Out From My Engine, I Put The Fire Out And Called For Help, At The Ramp I Tried To Figure Out What Caught On Fire, It Looked Like My Rectifier Had A Hole Dead In The Center. The Fire Did Not Do Too Much Damage, The Engine Turns Over, So I Believe The Stator Is Still In Good Shape, Why Would My Rectifier Burn Up? I Want To Know If This Is Something I Can Fix Without Paying Too Much,

I've heard that excessive use of capital letters on a computer will cause a rectifier to flame up. If the boat is parked/garaged within 50 feet of the computer, the rectifier "collects" the capital signal emitted from the monitor. These signals slowly accumulate until they morph into an entirely different signal, resulting in ignition in the rectifier.
I'd recommend you park the boat at least seventy-five feet from the computer and maybe consider using caps only where your First Grade teacher suggested. I hope this helps... FlyRod |

After some more thought if you got or can get some close up pics of the seperate parts ie..stator,rectifier, and coil packs there are certain things you need to look for. You may get away with a rectifier and engine harness but thats the least. You really cant afford to chance bad electrical or compromissed pieces. They will leave ya stranded.

I'd recommend you park the boat at least seventy-five feet from the computer and maybe consider using caps only where your First Grade teacher suggested. Surely this would be so presumptuous as to be ridiculous. You don't get to declare that your name "doesn't get" abbreviated, any more than you can declare that your name can't appear in blue ink, or on yellow paper, or in a sans-serif typeface. Having a name doesn't entitle you to control all aspects of writings that mention your name; in particular, you don't get to control aspects of design or typography. You don't get to control the typeface or the font size, you don't get to control where your name appears in a sentence, you don't get to say that your name can't be abbreviated, and you don't get to say that your name can't be capitalized. Fly, nice analogy, please allow me to comment and expand,when all other names are capitalized, a lowercase name is jarring to the eye. Maybe it's largely my inner typesetter or copy editor speaking, but I think "jane doe" stands out just as glaringly as "JANE DOE" does. In the online world, writing in all caps is often regarded as the equivalent of shouting. Continuing the analogy, a lone lowercase name among capitalized names is the equivalent of someone holding an enormous sign that reads "I'M A WHISPERER!" Lowercasing your name is more than just typographically ugly attention-seeking, though. It also effectively amounts to proclaiming that your name is no ordinary name, but instead has extra properties that spill over into the surrounding language. Words and names don't get to do that. Your name's not a magic name. Let's consider the following example of an English sentence: "Blueberry muffins were on sale at Buy-Low yesterday; they tasted better than the blueberry muffins from Safeway." If you and I were having a conversation, and I asked you how often the word "blueberry" appears in that sentence, you would say it appears twice. Whether it's capitalized or not, it's the same word. Webster's doesn't have one entry for "blueberry" and another for "Blueberry". And those books that tell you the history and meaning of various names don't have one entry for "jane" and another for "Jane" and another for "JANE". Capitalization isn't "part" of a word or name. fly, hope that helps Last edited by JB; 04-15-06 at 10:32 PM. |
