So anyone out there have a new PCM CAT motor? So the day we were out on the "break in" day with James and Chase, that was my real first time on the boat. Bre Horton was taking stills for us. It was funny, because I was doing ballast duty in the corner, and she had to lay on the deck, so we were in quite close proximity. Basically, her rear was almost in my face. If you look at this video, you will see what I mean.
So we are going, and then the rider falls, and we slow down. Oh, geez, Bre. I didn't say anything, but Bre is a pretty, bubbly, well kept young lady, and I was kinda surprised. Hey, I thought, sometimes those things get past the best of us, right? No big deal, I moved on. So we are riding again, rider falls, slow down, BRE! Darn, girl. What did you eat? I still didn't say anything. And the worst thing, it smelt EXACTLY like the air bombs my 200 lb mastiff will lay on you. He is a great dog, but its a known issue with Mastiffs. They snore and fart. I wonder if Bre snores?
But I digress. This went on for a while, to the point I was about to donate some money to Dennis (her father) to help deal with the problem. Then she moved and went up front or something, and I smelled it again. It was the exhaust! Sometimes the exhaust from the new CAT engine, or maybe just mine, smells exactly like someone is passing some bad gas. I started laughing, told Bre, and she said, "Thank God, why do you think I had to take a break up front!? I thought it was you?" I guess it wasn't as much of a shock or a leap for her to think that fat mexican was breakin wind repeatedly.
It was pretty funny, our boat is up to about 75 hours and it still does it. Its not that bad, and I really only smell it at the back of the boat. So I am not whining. You know, we love our equipment, and our boat is one of those things we almost assign a personality to, but its a bit strange when the boat starts farting.
Anyone else have that new CAT motor and get those whiffs of delight on occasion? ;-)
