    Prop / prop shaft damage

    I know a guy that had his lower replaced and somewhere along the way they disconnected the no oil alarm and the engine seized as a result. The shipyard that did the work owned up to the mistake and replaced the power head on their dime. I was impressed that they didn’t try to get out of it in...

    There almost here

    When I lived in Fl they would come come up Into the canals in the winter for the warmer water and even then they didn’t move much. They definitely don’t do well in cool water. They have been spotted up here on Cape Cod a few times over the years.

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    That will be my next stop if I can’t get it this time. I have a small torch tip that should deliver some heat without over doing it. I just redid the whole front end and this is the last pice of the puzzle. But really that joint is tight anyway so I’m to worried about it and have lots of time to...

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    I keep a spray bottle handy of the 50/50 mix for rusty parts. I love it. I have been spraying the pitman arm on my 4 runner daily for the past week as I have broken all 4 of my pullers on it. New puller’s are on the way we’ll see what happens.

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    This is bringing back memories of using Marvels Mystery Oil in my 65 Rivera. A few weeks after that I broke a few rings and had to rebuild.

    Has anybody painted their bilge glossy grey with the total boat epoxy?

    I have used it. It dries a bit lighter than what’s in the can. It’s very tough stuff. Don’t have a pic handy.

    New project

    I picked up a Troy Bilt tiller yesterday looks to be a junior model. It’s in over all good shape and is well worth my effort bring it back to life. The carb is pretty rough and has a lot of internal corrosion and the needles are shot but it should at least be good enough to see if she runs. It...

    Showing my Tri-axle Trailer some TLC . . .

    I use the Permatex ceramic on the slide pins. It’s the pupe stuff. It makes a big difference on how well the calipers slide.

    Showing my Tri-axle Trailer some TLC . . .

    I did the brakes on a friends BMW a few years ago I was doing it for free so I told him I needed 24 bucks to download the software for his car on the scan tool and he didn’t want to pay it because he’s a cheap donky. So he sent me a YouTube link to get around it. It did work but the parking...

    Trail Cam pix......

    I was out walking in the woods last night and sat on a fallen tree to rest and was tucked into the bushes pretty well. I heard something walking through the woods and it turned out to be a heard of deer. There were 9 of them and they stopped about 10 or 12 feet away from me with no clue that I...

    I miss the days when you could take the drums and rotors to just about any auto parts store and have them turned for a few dollars.
