We're talking about skiing, right?
-
Agree with @Wish on rope length. Joe public will watch... Boats, beers and bikinis, who wouldn't watch? Or maybe I'm just longing for the good ol days of Hot Summer Nights. -
$0.10 draft specials... maybe it $0.25, but u get the point
-
@r_maniak U need to also factor in the original cost of OffCourse to get a better cost per set.
-
@PatM Graphics on the inside? Maybe you have it inside out? :D
-
We need more details/pics of the Senates
-
@foxriverat That show was funny and we'll never see one like that again.
-
What's next, gender neutral training?
-
Replacing the lock washers fixed our problem, but we have a Nautique :D

Getting Back From Bad Ankle Sprain Advice
igkya replied to VermontSkier's topic in Technique & Theory
Not knowing how bad an injury it may have been, proper taping will help. Also, going to a double boot system will help reduce the chances of this injury recurring (I speak from experience) -
Not me.

Easiest way to make pro skiing more compelling viewing

@Wish Hot Summer Nights was cool :p Agree on going back to line lengths instead of line off. -
Petroleum jelly... Hmmm... has many uses I guess :D

General aches and pains from skiing, slightly torn pectorals and deltoid and Scotch.
-
Why rebuild when you can get a brand new Nautique for $125k :D . If you have the time and skills, this would be a great project and in the end, you have a top 10 ski boat for nickels/dimes.

While Kevlar gloves may last longer, they also provide more wear n tear on the handle and don't give me the same feel as non-kevlar. If you're getting callouses that bad, you're either griping the handle wrong or the gloves don't fit correctly.
-
Those who commented on Plantar fasciitis are spot on. I ignored it for a while hoping my regular stretching would eliminate it but it led to worse issues involving other tendons/ligaments. Ended up need to see a PT

@Horton Tubing accident?
-
Update: Problem solved. Greasing the rudder probably had the biggest change. We also tightened the cable/rudder arm connection and along with some minor manual filing. The steering torque is back (maybe a bit too much, which I know to correct), the steering wheel is much easier to turn and I can easily move the rudder arm now. Thanks all for the help.
-
Steering cable replaced 2-3 years ago. It's a club boat with ~500-700 hrs/year. I'll check steering cable connection and fins this evening.
-
@MISkier @Bruce_Butterfield @Jody_Seal I did check the connection of cable to rudder and it does seem loose. Also, while the steering wheel is easy to turn, trying to move the rudder by hand (at the cable connection) was difficult. The manual filing I did last evening seemed to help a bit, but not nearly enough. Could greasing the rudder help and resolve the steering torque?
-
@Rs350zak Many years ago, when my knees where young and strong, I had that kind of fall (rubber boots and rear toe), it caused severe damage to the ankle, not the knee. Double boots ever since and never had that issue again. Unless your doc is a sports related ortho and has good knowledge of what slalom skiing is, I'm not sure I'd listen to him about not skiing, especially since tennis and pickleball are ok.
-
Same prop but it does have a small ding on one of the blades, about 1/8-1/4". No other damage to the other blades nor to the rudder. To add, at 32 and 34mph, it does drive and track really well, just no torque on the steering wheel. At 30mph and below, it drives/tracks horrible, especially the slower it goers.
-
Sounds good and I'm not a big bourbon drinker, but isn't Makers good by itself?
-
Our 196 has lost its steering torque. The adjustable trim tab is all the way to the starboard side. I'm assuming I need to grind/file the trailing port side of rudder to help add steering torque, correct? I'd rather not have to get trailer (20+ min drive each way) and load boat just to grind, can I use a file/rasp for this and if so, how long will it take to get the desired results?
