What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[noluck]

Yes about 20 minutes

once the coolant temp has reached it running temps, then oil temps will rise, if if gets too hot you will start to loose oil pressure.
best thing to do is cut the filter, if it is clean drain out the oil put in new 15w40.

Removed the oil filter cut it open it doesn't have any shrapnel in it the oil does look burnt the only other thing I changed after the rebuild was installing the new pertronix distributor I wondered if it had eaten the cam gear but there should be metal in the filter

Had I nice surprise last trip and found some water getting in pod. Air leak test and found it...

They told me to run the first 10 hours with 5w30 but I used the 10w30 high zinc break in oil

way to thin in a boat, makes sense why you lost oil pressure. quick silver 25w40 or a strait 40w . you may have to put a oil cooler in it

Trailer bearing check. Repack and new seals.

 

[kaelc]

Disc and calipers still in transit from Florida and Boston so I’m finally getting around to downsizing my tackle box. This one will fit in more spots on the boat and I put together two hard side small ones for the kids. I should be working on doing my solar and working on my lowrance network but one thing at a time.

 

[Fishin]

Picked up a JRC radar system from marketplace for a super good price from an older gentleman has an astonishing 43 hours on it older unit but works perfect and pretty mint shape I’m happy with it I do plan on upgrading in a few years but this will work just fine for now better to have something than nothing I figure.

 

[Gong Show]

Aftet some exciting times during fairly remote central coast adventures, I am doubling the kicker tank volume.
Fits like OJ's glove.

The old girl got a new motor this week. It will be nice to have fuel injection

Got her out for a burn on Friday, what an improvement!
Hole shot, top end and idling is so much better !

New springs for the trailer. Maybe they didn’t need to be done, but not knowing the life of the trailer I feel better about trailering more than 5kms from home.

Like kaelc, I’ll also in the market for an impact gun, now. 12 years of rust on the bolts, my arms are killing me.

 

[TheHurtLocker]

Installed new bilge pump and switch, as well as new bait tank pump this past weekend.

Was changing the leg oil on the motors and the left one puked oil out the water weep hole. I was going to do the water pumps this year…looks like a shaft seal as well. Hoping to be putting it in for the summer at the 6:45 high tide tonight….

That calls for a zip cut on a grinder, not an impact...

That wouldn't hurt it and certainly wouldn't make your oil pressure tank.
