Tybo

There goes my nice quiet week at the lake.

Oh yeah. It`s never too quiet for long when I`m around. :blahblah1:

Trout,Salmon or char. Where`s the ceder plank.

So B.How many K now 20-30,000.Got 340,000 on my 03.

That`s what I`m looking for. But I was hoping for some where closer then China to order from.

If you are familiar with the type of roller blinds that you cane get for you vehicle to help block the sun out.

Do you know where I cane get them 4 feet long

May not be a short at all.Like ch said it could be worn out brushes or seized bearing.

With all electrical windings you could have a short with out it blowing the fuse.

The windings have failed in a way the it draws more amperage(more amps the higher the heat).

First check to see if you can turn the motor by hand.Then if the motor turns take off the cover and find the ground wire

that leads to the motor.With a remote ground to the battery place the multi meter in parallel to the ground from the motor.

Turn it on.If the is voltage on the ground you have a short in the motor.If no short remove the ground wire and move back and do the same test on the

ground of the amp card.

In the temperatures we are having right now.You should be charging about 2.45 volts per cell for max speed of recharge.

Far better stuff then stabil.They just don`t have a fancy T,V, commercial.

....

Change the spark plugs. Make sure the connections on every thing is clean and tight.

....

Your sucking air in through a join or rubber fuel line.When it gets hot every thing expands,sealing the air holes.Runs great.

I think of P3TA as a bunch of people who need something to feel involved. It seems to be a collection of bored people looking for something to do, that don't get along with others and have little to no meaning in their own lives.

 

Sort of like those people that gossip even amongst their so called friends. They jump on anything, researched or not, and just run with it.

 

 

How do you think religion got started.

1in 100.000 people can be overcome by fire ant bites.

Look up bit me by Mike Leahy.

With the track system I can install my riggers and rod holders,The salty rod holders for muskie and just rod holders for planer boards.

Your engine needs to go up one set of holes.The cavitation plate should be level with the bottom of the boat.

It is rare that the engine is sitting right down on the mount.

Also get rid of the double nut,This should not be used in high vibration areas.

Get some stover nut,It`s a must.

Watch the road next time Tybo!!

Dumbass on his phone while merging.The re-tread didn`t notice I was pulling a boat.Had to shove the guy

beside me into the next lane also.

Just need a 2x6 lol

So that is where the small pieces of 2x6 come from sitting on the road.

Phil,you owe me a michellin ltx tire. Hit one of thees chunks of wood and split the side wall.

When I got my first one back in the 80`s it was called a engine saver not a transom saver. Used for a safety if the hydraulics ever failed.

Stop the engines lower unit from hitting the road.

You will find answers for both sides.

I use one and here is why.

 

I tend to think when the boat is in the water it has some

shock protection because the boat is in the water.

It's not strapped down tight to a trailer with no give.

 

BUT.... my main reason is from first hand experience. Here's

my story.

 

Second trip with my 1989 Ranger Fisherman Tiller some goof

rear ends me on a nice sunny dry summer afternoon.

 

He hit me so hard he pushed a full size old caprise (it was

a midterm tow vehicle until I got a truck LOL!) and my boat

half way thru an intersection. I was stopped at a red light

with my foot on the brake. Oh it was full size Chevy Pickup

that rear ended me.

 

The prop, skeg and transom saver took the entire shock. I lost

2 blades off the prop, 4 inches off my skeg and folded my transom

saver.

 

I didn't even have a pressure crack on my transome NO DAMAGE!

 

I had the boat transom inspected to make sure. I used this boat

for 6 more years before selling. When I sold this boat transom

was still perfect.

 

I don't think I would have been so luck if the transom saver

wasn't there to divert the shock down and on to the trailer.

Wasn`t the transom saver,But the hydraulic manual relieve valve in the tilt support that saved it.

As the truck hit the engine it open and dump the oil allowing it to move.

check this out great video on a new product I am getting one of these for my 90hp merc

Why not just tighten the steer pin or replace the worn bushings. If the engine is shaking that much on the trailer,I would

hate to see how much it bounces around on the water.

Run the engine at a consistent rpm of 2000rpm`s. For it is not about the rpm`s but having a consistent heat.

Changing the rpm`s just a few hundred rpm`s can dramatically change the temperature of the block and moving parts in the engine causing warpage

and blown gaskets.

Do exactly as the manual says.

I love spending money on my boat.It is one of the most expensive hobbies you can have,Then throw fishing on top.$$$$

If you not doing your HOBBY.Then it`s not a HOBBY.

Thanks very much for showing me your haunts Brian.

Hope the nightmares are to bad about the bugs tonight.Think they where still dropping off of me a hour after

I got home.

Can`t tell you the cost.Don`t do outboards.

Sleeves,pistons,rings.crank bearings and head.Inspect and use whats not worn out.
