The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
if yur wrench polishes his nails when he works on<br />yur motor, be scared! <br />sorry, couldn't resist...<br />ditto hooty, better than nothin, but lots of better<br />things u can use nowadays.<br />M.Y.
Yeah and the merc manuals say to use nylon stockings over the airbox...... although the base of my airbox could use a "cotton panel"to absorb the residual oil......... and I have "Masingailed" a carburator or two........ Sorry, I could not resist..
If your tech can not afford to buy loctite the what else is he skimping on. When I was a kid my dad treated every illness with castor oil. I think that we have evolved since then. Use loctite on threads and gasola on welch plugs. Don't skimp on something so expensive. These engineers now a days are pretty sharp. I don't think they would reccomend fingernail polish to hold a $300.00 stator in place. I can't imagine why anyone would.
When we were kids, my brother and I used to use nail polish and toilet paper to repair rips in speaker cones. I still use wood glue to seal threads, but not on my boat motor. Offshore is no place to say to yourself,"Why oh why did I not get some Loctite???????".
hello<br /> use fingernail polish to mark timing points and as an anti-tamper fluid. dont use it as a loctite. its far to brittle and is affected by oil as well as some bug sprays . use the right stuff for the task at hand and life is easy <br /> good luck and keep posting
