Building Casting Targets To Keep Coronavirus Sanity
So we are making some casting targets to work on baitcaster accuracy, play games with the kids and give us something to do. So our list of parts are
-Plywood
-Jigsaw
-Pen
-String
-Drill & 1/2" bit
-100 grit sand paper
-Paint and primer spray paint
That's it so I hope you enjoy and keep your sanity. They are pretty easy. No losing fingers so have an adult help and if you don't know how to use a jig saw get another adult to just make it for you. Dont look at the spray paint nossel either. By next month I will have my 30 Day Baitcaster Challenge using these targets so SUBSCRIBE and thanks for watching.

Hurricane Boat Prep: Why you fuel up your boat and how to get it out!

Another part of the hurricane series we touch base on fuel storage. In 2018 when Hurricane Florence sat on us for 3 days we had at least 6 washed out roads and to many under feet of water. Our neighborhood is littered with depressions and each of these held water and washed out surprises. Lots of lifted vehicles were under.

    Hey Rob, had an issue a few weeks ago, my ‘04, 50hp Honda overheated on its initial outing from its launch to our dock. Literally 10 minutes away. That morning I ran it up on my driveway with the muffs. Hadn’t notice her peeing as I thought the tstat was still closed. My bad!! Anyways, launched her and like I said wasn’t peeing and overheated. So pulled her outa the water. Bought a new impeller, ran her up with the muffs, hardly any noticeable peeing. Figured it would get better in the lake. Keep in mind this is a 24’ pontoon. In the lake and a till nothing and the temp buzzer starts up. Shut her off and park her. Spoke to our Honda dealership. Apparently there is a third pu for water!! The two in front of the prop, either side of the bottom end. AND one above the prop. If this “third” one is, at the very least, NOT taped over, which they don’t recommend doing btw, the water pump WILL NOT pump AND will fry itself!! They suggest NOT to tape it but instead to submerge it in a Rubbermaid bin or large bucket. One that will cover the whole bottom end. That tube that you see at the end of your video is the “third” inlet tube that supplies water to the pump. That’s the one I didn’t know about that has cause me a shit load of grief!! Anyways, for all out there that are having the same issue I’ve had…hope this helps.

      Cable is about 175 I think off hand a tube could be 100 plus all the little parts another 100-200 and labor probably 4 hours. Since you will have to hoist up the motor from the bracket. My labor rate is $125 per hour. Your probably in it for a grand. If it's frozen bad and nothing works out a day's labor 7 hours. I'm not sure where you are or what your horse power is? I'm just guessing. If you get everything new and a cable and cut it all out and put it all in new you just saved your labor. It should be much smooth that way. Cut the cable off at the tube and bang the tube out of the bracket but support the motor so it does not fall.

When I removed the drain and leveling screws they both seemed not very tight, it didn't take much effort to remove them. Should I change the o-rings and do a couple of drain and fills to remove all the contaminated oil from inside the gear case? when you said to replace the o-rings and run the motor, did you mean run it with the ears on, on the trailer or take it out and really run it in the ocean/lake?

      Mine too. My carbs are obsolete and I can only rebuild. If the carbs were cleaned to good that can also be a problem. Look for a complete carb bank online. That maybe your saving grace looking long term. Try a small oring under the keeper that holds the bystarter valve. Adjusting the height of the bystarter has helped with some models. It's the needle and the amount of air/vacuum getting by that can mess it up. The ratio has to spot on or it's like your choking it still.

    We just got a 2010 Honda 90 on a pontoon boat so have been going through it. I followed your instructions and it was perfect... only had one issue. My new impeller had straight fins and there was no way that I could get them inside the housing. Since my old impeller was still in good shape I ended up putting it back in. So question is: is there a trick to getting the new impellers installed? You really didn't elaborate on how to install it so I assumed it was pretty simple.. but it wasn't for me. Any helpful hints? Thanks... loved your detailed explanation and instructions.

    • @captainrobthompson8728
      @captainrobthompson8728 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok no problem. The fins are straight because the have no memory like the old one. When you put the housing over the impeller you turn the drive shaft and press down. Turn clockwise. This will drag the fins and bend them together and almost slide into the cup in the housing. Make sure there is a lot of grease or lub on the impeller. Just push the housing down and turn the drive shaft clockwise. It will jump in there. Let me know if you have any issues getting it in. Make sure it's the correct impeller to. There are a few for the 90s. Good luck!

    Great video. I have been down that road recently. If I had properly lubricated i would never had to do it. So what i want to share : #1 : See the grease nipple on this tube ? I figured it would lubricate the tube inside. Guess what : It does not, it just lubricates the outside so it will grease tilting the motor. Nothing else. #2 : When you lubricate the shaft which you should sometimes, unscrew the tube on both sides, slide the cap and grease return washer away as well as the end of the cable and lubricate it there. If you lubricate from the outside grease will be scraped of by the grease return washer and cap and it hardly helps.

    why not use the grease nipple ?

    • @captainrobthompson8728
      @captainrobthompson8728 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because the grease nipple only greases the knuckles for the tilt. It does not go inside the steering tube

    The problem I have is that my motor take me two people to bring it up or down. I just ordered a new tube. Hoping it will fix the problem. I am hoping it is not the assist cylinder.

      Check the relief valve on the side of the trim & tilt. You need two people to help lift it?

      I took the trim out of a Johnson 50hp and use to just do it by hand. That may help. It was only 1 person then manually.

      @@captainrobthompson8728 yes 2. I know it sounds crazy but it is true. That’s why I am trying to figure out what it is. If it is the assist cylinder or the tilt tube. I hope it’s the tilt tube. Bc it has rust on the arm together with grease. If it is the assist cylinder than I have way more work to do. To remove that thing will be a challenge. I was hoping if it is the cylinder that I can hopefully repack it.

      Yes clockwise for all in the 2000+. There are a few models from the 90s that were counter. 35 & 45 had some backwards kits. Not all though.
