Heres something I did to get the boat exactly centered. I took two pieces of foam about 3" by 15" and perhaps 1.5" thick and wired them on the bunk boards with copper house wire (or anything including duct tape) After the boat is on the trailer and centered I take the foam off and now the boat...

I also forget myself and heres what I do. To check it prior to starting I open up the motor by taking off the pressure. Take the oil filler plug out and let it sit for a while. I don't know if it is correct way to check it cold but makes me feel good. I think I found that in the service...

I think Action Marine has a outlet near where the boat lift is in La Conner The guy who runs it is also the Fire Chief. I see a lot of boats on the hard getting work done. I kinda forget but think its 3rd street. Thats all I know .. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

I got pretty good at working on them as changed locations on my little tug. Two setscrews for sure and as I remember metric. You should get the proper one with the motor. Make sure the motor is set up for the correct sweep and you may have to take apart the new one and compare with the old...

Heres how I do my 21 foot tug. I shut off the sea valve and put a short piece of hose on the flushing input and that goes to a jug of antifreeze. Me being frugal I use antifreeze I get at the local junk yard, don't forget to test it. I run it into the system by starting the engine briefly. I...

Thanks to all for the replies. I will stop at the big box store today and get some acid. I did try car paint thinner and bounced off this brown stuff. I picked the Livingston because the factory was going to offer a dinghy from Livingston as a option and thought it might be a easy way to hang...

Message sent twice and cant figure out how to kill it

I ended up with a 7 foot Livingston dinghy. My friend picked it up for me and followed instructions on how to look for damage but I had not thought about how clean it might be. Well looks like it spent its entire life in fresh water with all the sins of being in the water. Has a very brown...

I have factory tinted glass on my little tug. I was told one or two were built with tinted front glass. No glare like you find in a clear window. I did not know I had anything different till I broke one and had to have Sea Glaze make me one. Perhaps Sea Glaze makes a conversion window for...

Several choices here. Put air back in the tire if you can or have some one with a portable air can do that and put the lugs back on and take it to a tire shop before the air leaves. Or pull the wheel at the bearing and take both the bearing housing and tire to the tire shop and let them repair...

I am looking good on this one, I wrote on the side of the cabin by the radio, now where the boat? Bob Heselberg

When I had a sailboat I used the paper charts and guide books. Now I like the guide books as I have ess room to store things. I am spoiled with the chart plotter but will say it does have errors so using both is the way I have been going. I never did keep up to date with chart changes or for...
