Thanks for the suggestions. I just may go that route. To further explain what I was looking at see the pics below. The oil drains from the front of the valve. I found a piece of tubing in the barn that fit over it and I snaked it out the boat's drain hole into an oil pan so no mess. Although...
Yes, there is supposed to be a picture... I can see it. Not sure why you can't. I thought I was supposed to suck it out through the dipstick as well but the tool I bought doesn't fit.
There is a cooper valve assembly sticking out of the oil pan. I really don't want to dump it in the bilge but...
Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been on here. Even longer since my boat has run. I've got it pretty much back together but I need to drain the oil. Can anyone tell me if there is an attachment or something for this valve? Originally I thought I could stick a hose on the end but I'm not so sure
Best of luck to him! I live outside of Cincinnati and have many musicians as friends so I'm fairly familiar with the local scene (not as much as I used to be). It's not an easy career path.
If he ever needs a sound guy or info, feel free to message me. I probably won't know the answer but I...
Truth. I was b$%#$ing about not having my boat under the lean-to to my current girlfriend and she said, "Why does it matter? It's a boat so it's waterproof."
Needless to say my first comment was water goes under it, not in it. Then talked about sun etc.
No, but that's a great idea! Definitely going to look into that. I was using a 3-point attachment with a receiver and the sway with the 3-point hitch made it really interesting.
I'm outside of Cincinnati right by East Fork State Park. Once I'm comfortable with her reliability again I will be...
I am a one man band and I have too many projects. Now that includes the boat. I'm still chasing cooling problems from last year but I don't get much time to work on it. I hope that changes soon. I lost my indoor storage spot last year and boat had to sit outside (covered) this winter. I...
Ok, so I gotta ask... Why are you telling him to pull the motor? He doesn't know the condition of it yet let alone us creepy internet folk who aren't even there. Or did I miss something?
This is the best advice in my opinion. Figure out what you want out of the boat, figure out where the boat...
I will be following your progress as well. I agree with mwph about the batteries. I'd wait to buy new until you are ready to hit the water. The junkyards around here will sell their used batteries for $25, while not marine they will be enough to crank the motor and run the rest of the systems...
When I first scheduled the trip and got the approval for 3 weeks off work I thought that I had soooo much time. Now that I'm finalizing my route and to-do/see list I realize I need another 3 weeks!
I'm spending a few days in Auckland starting Feb 3, a few more in Papamoa and then I was going fly into Christchurch on the 9th. I'm renting a camper and was going to spend the remaining days driving around to the different places I wanted to see. I had planned on spending a few days in...
