    Man, you are so fortunate to have Brian as a friend, he often accompanies you on "away missions". 2 thumbs up for the content, and 2 thumbs up for Brian, too.

      I had a jet ski sink tied up to a dock once. The boat waves yanked the rope eye out of the hull making one heck of a hole. Fortunately, I got to the boat before it sunk completely and beached it. After draining it, I used some Bondo and fibreglass cloth to fix it. That was 15 years ago and the fix still works.

      that was what I was going to say in here. Just a boat cover to keep it dry and clean and out of the sun against uv damage. My former boat was outside for 17 years under a big truck tarp. A piece of old windsurfing mast as the horizontal. Very light and strong. one side on top of the windscreen and the other side in the back was put through a hole in a vertical plank that was mounted on a horizontal plank. All covered in vinyl to make sure nothing would scratch the boat. A soft cloth over the motor cowling and the truck tarp over the total boat. not a single drop came in this way and wind was still blowing under ( it was on a trailer when not used, but the former owner had it in the water with the same tarp over it, worked fine but with the ends of the tarp in the water it became dirty on the edges.)

    The water height at the back of the hull could explain why the steering mechanism was so rusted up when you first got the boat - maybe the bilge pump has been weak all along. Could be time for a new one. Or in true Mustie1 fashion, an old one that works better. :-)

    Hey Mustie1
    Several possible items for you to think on, there is a brass screw on each of the carburetors; if you take them out you will be able to drain all the fuel out of the float bowls. I would also recommend pulling the spark plugs and squinting a bit of oil in each cylinder then turning the engine over by hand, use the flywheel on top, his way you are not running the water pump with out water. I have had issues with the oil injection system; I finally gave up and just mixed the oil and gas. Since your steering control cable was under water, pulling it apart and greasing it might help avert it from corroding and locking up.
    Truly enjoy watching your shows, I have learned a lot.

When he came back some time later the tide had gone out and his boat was hanging off the dock 90% out of the water. The docks pilings are made from telephone poles so they were up for the task.

    Oh, the many pleasures of owning a boat! I don't know why everyone doesn't have one. Cut down around 5 or 6 green wood poles around 1 to 2 inch's in diameter and 6 to 7ft long. Bend them and put them in your boat like bows to hold up a covered wagon top. Secure a tarp to your bows with the ends over the side of the boat so rain drains into the pond instead of into your bilge. Easy to stow on the dock when you need to use the boat. Speaking of the dock. It looks to be in need of some love next year also. Good luck tossing money into your hole in the water.

    There is no better bilge pump than a scared sailor with a bucket. Nice close quarters maneuvering in the woods. That pressure washer you rescued is a beast. Fun video.
    It is never a bad idea to wear a PFD when performing sketchy nautical manuevers. Don't ask me how I know that.

    Jumper cables failed? Ha!
    I was starting my "positive earth" Triumph 250 but kept getting sparks at hookup. The cables were made with the clamps on one end reversed-black on one end was positive on the other!
    Now, that was a jumper cable fail!

    In my experience of owning a timber trawler, these auto bilges don't use much power at all and will run when battery voltage low. Achilles heel it isn't hard to clog them or get stuck. I always install a couple of pumps with isolated battery sources. Sometimes they get stuck on and drain battery. Even If running a lot, if a little solar panel can't keep battery charged then something very wrong.

    • @JT_70
      @JT_70 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can easily add an automatic switch to any bilge pump. I added one after a bad rainstorm almost sunk my boat.
