A storm so rough that it just sank the "Titanic" of the Great Lakes, and Captain Bernie Cooper turns his ore boat around to go back out and look for the Edmund Fitzgerald. Buy that man a beer.
Just fill it full of non-ethanol gas and a little fuel stabilizer and you don't have to worry about constantly draining the carb and fuel lines.
The best move that I ever made was switching to non-ethynol gas in all of my tools/toys that sit for periods of time. I now leave the tanks topped off...
That was the lock that I used on my sled trailer prior to the current one. It rusted within months as well. There's a huge difference between being towed in a saltwater environment and being pelted by road salt kicked up by your tires for 500 miles.
That's too bad but not surprising. He did the right thing in terms of offering to pay. No matter how smooth this all goes, it still puts a slight strain on the relationship.
Hopefully everything goes well, and you putting this all into a post might save someone else from having an accident...
Always go criss-cross applesauce on those safety chains!
I've seen some pretty long safety chains too, which can also allow a load to smash into the back of a vehicle. About eight years ago I bought a used snowmobile trailer. It had safety cables instead of chains, and they were badly rusted. I...
On some trailers, I've noticed that the latch arms can get in the way of letting the coupler fully seat on the ball. It's always something that I pay attention to especially when it's not my own trailer.
Has anyone found a good, local replacement for these Sure Lube cotter pins? I just replaced all of the bearings, races, and rear seals but realized that I didn't have replacement cotter pins. I don't want to wait a week to order new ones online.
Online the size is: 1-11/16" x 1/2" x 5/32"...
I use these on my boat and snowmobile trailers. However, I quickly realized that they are not salt-resistant. The snowmobile lock didn't even last a season, so now I tow with a standard pin in the coupler and then put the lock on once it gets to its destination.
Oooh, I'm not sure if the devil or angel on my shoulders would prevail if I caught somebody actively stealing my stuff. It's been too many years since I've thrown a real punch, but you've got me dreaming...
I did a quick internet search, and this is the AI response for how fast a water drip can accumulate:
Typical drip: A faucet dripping at a rate of 10 drips per minute wastes about one gallon per day, which adds up to nearly 30 gallons per month.
So you have two known leaks, each dripping once...
I have no use for a huge boat battery, but the idea is intriguing. Why don't you post what you did (in a non-sales manner)?
Is this battery for an electric main motor, an electric trolling motor, or just for ancillary power needs such as sonar, radio, lights, etc?
