Shakedown to Tampa - Transfer Case Dies - Watch Alarm is Born

We put out from Pensacola on Friday the 13th and headed to Tampa on a shakedown run. After 4 hours 5.5 kts we shook out a drive shaft inside the transfer case. If you have no regard for science then blame that on the Friday the 13th departure. If you have brain cells like Tod at np205cases.com then you know that it’s a known failure point and the generation 3 shafts are capable of twice the torque. Thanks also to our Facebook friends who helped find the solution to building a very low-cost watch alarm. It’s a handy alarm that makes sure you are paying attention to what is outside the windows while you are on watch. It is so much easier than setting an alarm on your phone. So after two smooth motoring days we got some wind, and some 6 to 8 foot following seas, the first Seeker has been in, and she handled very well. Now it’s time to address transfer case repairs, enjoy Boca Ciega Bay, Tampa, Saint Petersburg and Gulfport. If you’d like to visit Seeker while we are here then drop me a line at [email protected] and we’ll see what we can do. –Doug
