Yup! We would do just that ^^ The only issue with them is if you lean forward to much it would go under, then shoot back up right at you! If you weren’t paying attention it could knock your teeth out!
Can you find a similar jack at a local place and remove the attachment stuff from it and drill, countersink the bolt pattern? If it was mine I’d try that. It may require some cutting and grinder work , then file/clean up the edges so it looks nice.
Third picture of the gear, is that a notch on the bottom gear? If so, Maby you can pump a bit of oil in there and let it run down to the bottom. I may be wrong but it’s worth a try.
Several years ago a guy came back from fishing and his electric winch was gone. People did see someone taking it but paid no mind as they thought the owner was servicing it for some reason. All they had was it was a guy in a red truck. Never got it back.
I was told early afternoon. It takes about an hour by the time we get set up, get it lifted and driven over to the liftwell. It’s parked about 250 feet from the well. We will see how the day goes!
the guys will be doing other services on the boats in the morning I’m told.
You can do the old reverse trick and use your garden hose to fill your bilge completely with water. You may be able to spot leaks going out easier than coming in.
NO! Never do that. You will probably soak the starter and it’ll end up junk. And you will overload your trailer.
Me to. Life gets priority at times. So far I’m doing fine, tests coming back clear. We can only hope that it stays this way.
actually working part time at the marina hauling boats this time of year. Check out: washburnmarina.com tomorrow we put the Madeline island ferry boat back in the water...
Yup. Tried one on my weedwhacker, big nope! But the carb and kit came with new fuel lines and filters and gaskets. Saved a bit of money on those parts. Rebuilt the original one and it’s fine.
Can you “trick” the charge into thinking there is life in it? I know with modern chargers you have to have a load of sorts to get the chargers to sense it. Solar may not work like that.
My brother got sucked out to sea at Daytona beach. The lifeguards saw him and kept hollering into their megaphone to swim to the side. He finally got the message and he was safe. We never knew of riptides as we were from northern Wi. Learned a lesson that day!
Bought a boat several years ago, the po had just got back from a run clear out to the Apostle Islands and then I bought it. I did all the maintenance on it and just for giggles decided to pull the top cap on the drive even though it passed all the tests. The top gears were almost gone! the po...
My 95 Larson isn’t the best either but I decided to restore it. It should be done by spring. Be prepared to get glass dust everywhere! I’ll never get back what I got into it but it was an interesting project.
At the shop we have a yard trailer, one tech put a small solar charger on it and it did not work well. Another tech put a regulator on the charger of some kind and now it works perfectly. I’ll try to get a model of the regulator this coming week. Note: I did not read all the responses on this...
Take a picture of the carb, record the serial number on the carb, go to your local parts store and show them what you have and need. It’s just an automotive choke system installed on a marine carb. They should be able to fix you up. If not retry a different parts store.
that being said, are you...
