What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Michael J]

Did a little cleaning and maintenance on my old Wooldridge. Still looks pretty good at 34 years old.

Grady in their wise-dumb mounted the wash down pump in the bilge, which to access for any maintenance requires cutting the deck sealant to remove the deck plate. Its a real pain!!

Finally got tired enough with this process and pulled up the deck plate. Installed new water lines from the thru hull and ran everything up to one of my storage compartments above deck. Pain to do all that work replacing water lines and re-wiring the pump but now its totally accessible, and the main benefit of all this is the pump will always be bone dry.

Hoping this leads to fewer issues with the internal pressure switch crapping out - fingers crossed.

Stretched the legs and plugged the traps on a two hour soak. Picked up a few Sound winters. Good way to spend the day in Barkley.

Gradually getting the boat detailed-cleaning and polishing aluminum seems like a thankless job but now I get the fun of reloading her and getting her ready for the first jigging trip

Apparently, “I love Black Mouth” was already taken.

I might mention deadrise a lot when people are showing their boats, but that is very impressive.

Changed all the oils and pulled the one tilt cylinder apart that’s leaking, ordered a new end screw

Yearly reminder for everyone to Winterize their boats and pump some antifreeze through your washdown pump if it’s got freshwater in it!

Just curious-do they have warranty and can you still get service and parts??

Brp is still producing parts for the evinrude motors. Unfortunately the motors do not have warranty but with 53 hours and a good price I can afford some issues down the road. I've ran alot of etecs in my sleds so I'm pretty comfortable with them .

In Golden, where I live we have a brp dealer too so that's nice.

Great idea to go with a full hull extension on the pod, looks great!

is it easy to import outboards up to canada? did you have to pay customs/brokerage fees/taxes? I see a lot of cheaper motors down there

Beautiful work. out of curiosity, why the 'pockets' on the side and at the back? wouldn't those areas be a nightmare to clear barnacles from?

The theory behind it is instead of dragging in the water when getting on plane it’s extra lifting area and strength to the deck surface. The ones on the back are transducer and anode mounts
