No but we have a rule, long hair must be put up or in a hat while on the boat.

I'm not tryin to be a butthead, brother .... but the guy who built my riggin told me about a lady who got her hair in a fan belt one time and it snatched out a 6" piece of her scalp.
Just got your best interests in mind. Honest. I love the boat.

We have talked about building some sort of shield around the water pump pulley, I will look into it this week.

You can probably take a piece of perforated aluminum grill (like they use to protect a radiator) and just bolt a piece off of the back of her seat ... bend it over til it looks right. It won't weigh anything, and we'll both sleep better. :o)
Keep on keepin on, man. Nice boat.

Just another thought on the hair problem! Have you ever thought about going to a electric water pump? My buddy has one and his motor runs cooler and it frees the motor up just a little more. Just a thought!

I don't trust em either for a ride boat ...... you wouldn't know they weren't working until the engine was already too hot. If a fan belt lets go you can usually hear it.

Hair solution!!! Cut her hair, no more worries and drop a few ounces in the process...

Not an option, BQ ..... if she likes long hair, then she should have it. Airjack is sharp enough to find a way to make it work.
