wife yelling at me to get the workshop cleaned up because company might be coming ... thanks randy havent done much was having slight health issues but seems im about to get back at it trying to decide if i wanna paint parts apart or put outboard together then paint it like it appears yamaha did...

 

[mickyryan]

need to drag the red boat home and clean it but i got enough to do rt now with the blue boat so imma get on that first!

 

[chevymaher]

LOL welcome.

 

[kcassells]

Good to hear from you Mick!

 

[mickyryan]

So got most of outboard back together new waterpump , seals pitot tube fitting replaced still havent decided about paint but i figure need to get it back together and run it first to be sure im not just wasting money on nothing lol

 

[Willyclay]

Attaboy!

 

[mickyryan]

man i was so close to mounting to boat its back together except lower unit cant believe i was abler to find all the parts and get it back together with my memory lol still alot of work to do on it but ill mount it tomorrow and finish up the work with it on the boat

 

[mickyryan]

its mounted on boat still needs painting but its all back together brought other boat home the red one because low and behold i opened it up and a dead raccoon was laying in the floor no idea when he got in there but he never made it out so i get the fun tomorrow of cleaning the boat out and getting rid of smell side note i have a really good ozone machine and buddy told me get some charcoal and put it in the boat it will remove smells so thats the plan , im going in with my paint mask and vics vapor rub under nose for good measure!

 

[mickyryan]

[mickyryan]

Hey..... We are Vintage and going Chrome

 

[mickyryan]

so i filled the outboard oil pan with diesel just to flush it out one more time in case any thing got in there after i get the red boat fixed ill be back on this, need to wire boat but waiting on parts for the connection to the outboard was missing the rigging piece that connects the hose to engine ugh

 

[mickyryan]

Well i finally found a use for flex seal !! These trim pumps seem to rot out pretty fast so i sealed new one with flex seal and we see how long it will last
