yeah, today we put a light bulb about a foot and a half under there. At the end of the day the 5200 was running out/down. Sh**.....And the bad part is the strut is located under the fuel tank in the aft berth. We have a younger guy who has to lay behind the tank, on his side and reach with one...
I hate 5200. We currently have a strut we had to re-do and it's been three weeks, it's still soft. Not looking forward to removing it and doing it with 4200. I suppose it's a bad batch but still. Any time something is bedded with 5200 it's a bear to take off.
Even if they put a new long block, there's still exhaust manifolds and stuff that could be damaged. Then there is the plumbing on the boat that's probably damaged. Good to walk away.....
Exactly. As a teenager the first one I opened up was scary. After I got a look inside, I thought what the heck? There's not much in here to go wrong. A kit and checks of the specs, good to go. I was 14 then. Now 65. rebuilt to many count since then.
A friend of mine got divorces and had the aluminum canoe. She said she wanted it so he ran it over with the tractor flattening it. He said come and get it. She pulls in see's it and leaves.....lol
Yeah , I have 5 boats in the backyard at the moment. Also the duck boat at the cabin. And the one I'm restoring at the shop. She don't say much but I suppose it won't be long.....
