I installed all of the grease seals the same way and checked that they were all flush with the hub. I don't really think the grease seal could be the problem since the back of the seal is not even close to touching anything and the inner part is rubber. I am thinking that either somehow the...

I have a King tandem trailer for my CD22. It has the torsion axles from Tie Down and the Super Lube spindles. These are the spindles with a zerk fitting in the center of the spindle. I also have Kodiak disc brakes. I re-packed all four bearings and installed new grease seals. On one wheel...

Hi Bob, I have the 15lb Boss. I have not tried it on the boat yet to see how it will fit. I do have the longer anchor roller so I am hoping it will not touch the boat. Steve

I purchased a Manson Boss anchor for my 22. I am not sure of the purpose of the sliding bolt on the shank. Why would you move it to different positions? Steve

Hi Pat, Great pictures of your hat and the giant ice cream cone! I like to look at where you are on AC and Google but it is annoying that the zoom buttons are top left for AC and bottom right for Google. Always going to the wrong corner. Guess I need a mouse with a roller wheel. Looks like...

Went over to Rio Vista yesterday to see who was there. Had a great evening catching up with Joel and Susan! Too bad we are not going on the trip. Have fun and be safe. Steve and Karen.

Hi Pat, Great Blog! Sorry to hear about the blow outs. I had the same thing happen with a Goodyear marathon tire. Goodyear did pay for the replacement fender when I got home. I read that you are using T-mobile for your cell service. I think it is less expensive than Verizon or AT&T but...

Glad to hear you are close to launching. That is one long drive! I have been thinking about your drive while watching the bad weather going across the country. Both times I have zoomed in on where you are (google map), I see a walmart super center in the area. Do you over night at these? I...

Very glad to hear things went so well! Hope you and your family have a great holiday season as your recover. Steve

Thanks Jody, Those are good suggestions and good pictures. I am curious about the anodes shown. Where are they on your motor? I replaced the two that sounds like to other ones you mentioned. They have two bolts on the fitting that holds them and are on the side above where the oil dip...

Hi Jody, I have the 2005 Johnson 90 (same as suzuki) but I could not get the plug out. The allen just stripped. The plug was covered with the original paint which did not help. Do you have any pictures? Steve

Hi Pat, I have a King trailer for my 22 and I have the superlube axles. I lost one of my dust caps on a trip (just the rubber plug) and just covered the hole with duct tape until I got home - no problem. I purchased a couple of new dust caps, don't remember where I got them, but they are...

Hi Pat, That is a good story since no one was injured! Too bad about the car. Steve

When I was in High School my dad bought and sold cars on the side. He bought a bug, don't remember what year. It was not too pretty but ran. I was driving it as fast as it would go down a minor hill (maybe 60mph) when the bungie holding the hood let go. The hood smashed into the windshield and I...

I wonder if they were hard to get on because there was pressure in the cap and no where for it to go. The one you get should have an open end with a rubber dust cap you remove to get to the zerk in the spindle. When I had a dust cap get lost on a trip I just put duct tape over the the area to...

Hi Joel, Best wishes for surgery and recovery. Steve and Karen

I had the same problem on the way to the Friday Harbor gathering. I have now removed the vent fitting. The factory in 2004 was using a sealant that looks like BoatLife type and that is what mine was sealed with. There was sealant between the gasket and the hull but not the gasket and...

We also just got home in California today. It was great to see people we had not seen in several years and to meet new friends. We left a few days early from our plans since Karen got a cough and the cold night air was not helping her. Now we are in hot weather and miss the Islands. Thanks...

We launched late last night at Bellingham. Still have things to do and restoration after 2 long days driving. Maybe head out Thursday. Steve and Karen

Bob, What was the temp of the bearing you changed? I had a dragging brake and the hub got to 165. I let it cool and it seemed that the brake had released because it was very close to the temp of the hubs. I also did not drive on the freeway going home. I looked at the outer bearing and it...
