Little Miss Judy Believe It or Not!



Yep, this is me, Captain Judy leaning over and into a slant head six gray marine engine. Believe it or not, but my father purchase several of these engines that the army had taken out of amphibious vehicles. When the engines arrived they had an exhaust that stuck out of the top of the engine. My father told me that when he installed my new/old/army surplus engine he was going to make the exhaust pipe even higher. And of course I panic, because all I could think about was this exhaust pipe sticking through the top of my boat and all that noise that it was going to make and the black smoke that it was going to produce. Thanks goodness daddy was only kidding me, but he still had me going!

“The Old Engine Room”
It’s a known fact that all boat owners have their own special way of doing certain things. Take for instance maintenance on the old boat engine. My father during his younger years spent a lot of time in the old engine room of his boat. In fact I have seen him crawl down there and stay for hours at a time. His comment to me was that he was simply looking for any problems that might be arising. Until I started running my own boat I really didn’t understand why he went to such great lengths. Now I know for sure how important it is to head off any such mechanical problems.

As my father got older he got rounder making it harder and harder for him to just slip down into the old engine hole. This is where I came in to play. I became his eyes or basically the watcher of the engine. Believe me I learned a lot from my numerous excursions in the bilge. I was small and could maneuver easily around the large engine. My father had his way of checking certain things, which now became my job. For instance oil and transmission fluid was a different color. So therefore it was easy to detect any leaks by simply laying a white towel in the bilge. However, there was a part of his testing that I didn’t particularly like. I called it the “the tasting part.” It’s how we determined if saltwater was getting into places or parts of the engine that it wasn’t supposed too. As time went on I got use to being the “watcher.” At least until the big “bilge raised rat” and I crossed paths in that small area called the old engine room! I still to this day love my childhood!

Thanks for reading! Captain Judy
