James Finley Bass Angler Sponsorship

It is with great pleasure and pride that Debbie and I announce our sponsorship of Mr. James "Jim" Finley for the 2007 bass angling tournament season. Jim's tournament plans include fishing the FLW/BFL Tournament Trail, the B.A.S.S. Weekend Angler Series, as well as over thirty local (S. Florida) tournaments. Last year Jim finished in the top 40 and qualified for and attended the FLW/BFL Regional Tournament on Lake Martin in Alabama. He also qualified for the FLW/BFL Wild Card Championship in Tennessee. Jim and his wonderful wife of 18 years have two beautiful children, a 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son. He is a 23 year veteran of law enforcement, having worked at two agencies in S. Florida, the past 21 years at the same agency I'm retired from. The last seven years of my career I had the honor and pleasure of working side by side with Jim within our agency's Special Operations Section. I found him to be a man of the highest level of integrity and work ethic, a real dynamo. Jim is a volunteer with the Palm Beach County Safe Kids Coalition, a group of individuals organized to promote the safety of children through car seat safety, bicycle safety, drowning awareness, etc. He holds memberships in the South Florida Bass Club, Bottom Line Mike's King of the Glades Tour, Bass Busters Florida and the South Florida Anglers for Everglades Restoration (S.A.F.E.R.) During the 2005-2006 tournament season Jim competed in the FLW Stren Series (formerly the Everstart Series), the FLW/BFL Tournament Trail and the B.A.S.S. Tournament Series. Jim's ambition is to fish professionally after he retires from law enforcement in a few years. He is currently searching for other sponsors in order to further his tournament fishing career. So if you have a company that would like to be promoted by one fine gentleman and extraordinary bass angler send me an E-mail with your name, company name and phone number and I will put Jim Finley in touch with you. It looks as if we're going to be real busy this year trying to keep up with Jim's tournament progress. We are already proud of you Jim, now: GO CATCH SOME BASS!

*New Engine Fogging Oil

Engine Fogging Oil Offers superior film retention, providing long-term protection against corrosion and dry starts, extending engine life and reducing operating expenses. Its aerosol spray formulation offers easy and clean applications, while reaching more components and offering better distribution than straight motor oil. See Pricing Information or Place an Order Package sizes include: 12-oz. Aerosol Can 12-oz. Aerosol Cans (case of 6) Two- and four-stroke recreational vehicles, hand held power equipment, small engines, construction and farm equipment are commonly operated seasonally or infrequently, then stored for long periods of time. During these periods of inactivity, and as a result of fluctuations in ambient temperatures, water vapor can form condensate within the engine. When this condensate comes into direct contact with steel and iron components, it forms surface corrosion on cylinder liners, piston rings, anti-friction bearings and steel/iron contact surfaces on rotational seals. Long periods of storage can also dry out cylinders, often resulting in permanent damage when the equipment is taken out of storage and dry started. The severity of component distress resulting from extended storage varies, but it is usually not enough to result in immediate component failure. Often, equipment appears to function properly when put back into service, failing shortly thereafter as component distress increases with use. Because the failure doesn’t happen immediately, the equipment owner often does not suspect storage-related problems. The industry is beginning to recognize the relationship between storage-related corrosion and premature engine failures and performance problems. Most two- and four-stroke motor oils are formulated to have an affinity to engine component surfaces, acting as a barrier that keeps condensate from contacting engine components and forming corrosion. However, the effectiveness of motor oil in this area diminishes with time. Two common methods are used to extend protection of stored components. One method involves placing motor oil directly on internal engine components, usually by pouring one or two ounces of oil into the engine cylinders through the spark plug holes and manually rotating the engine to distribute the oil. The more effective, easier and cleaner method involves use of an aerosol fogging oil. Because it can be applied through the engine intake or carburetor as it is running, a fogging oil reaches and protects more components than a straight motor oil. In addition, the aerosol nature of fogging oil offers a more complete distribution of the oil than the straight motor oil method, something especially beneficial in applications with horizontal cylinder orientation, such as outboard motors. A survey of manufacturers in the affected market reveals all have maintenance guidelines for long-term storage of equipment. Forty-three percent indicated special maintenance is required if length of anticipated equipment inactivity exceeds 30 days, while 43 percent indicated a time period of 60 days and 14 percent indicated a time period of 90 days. All recommended the application of additional oil to the engine for long-term storage, and more than half suggested the use of a special fogging oil. New AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil offers superior film retention, providing long-term protection against corrosion and dry starts, extending engine life and reducing operating expenses. Its aerosol spray formulation offers easy and clean applications, while reaching more components and offering better distribution than straight motor oil. AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil applications include, but are not limited to, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV’s, outboard motors, stern drive and inboard marine engines, personal watercraft, lawn equipment, chainsaws, snowblowers, portable generators, hand held power equipment, motor scooters, powered farm equipment, powered construction equipment, cars and trucks.
