Time for me to replace my pads and I'm wondering if there is a automotive equivalent to the kodiak 225 pads. If there is, is there any difference in using those pads vs buying from kodiak?
So I knew Garmin bought out Navionics but I discovered today that the old web address to Navionic's web chart viewer redirects to a Garmin web address. It's great that the web chart viewer is still accessible but I can no longer do auto-routing for a trip.
1. Are there any other web based chart...
I park my trailer on a gravel pad and a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the outdrive was in the full down position with the skeg buried into the gravel along with some of the prop pushing into the gravel. Long story short, I'm guessing one of the rain storms probably seeped into the swim...
I have easy lubes as well. I'm a little OCD when it comes to the bearings so I actually pull everything apart each year to inspect the bearings and put fresh grease in at that point. In my opinion, if you don't check every year, you won't see the warning signs and something will fail at the...
That's the other thing I realized this time....these calipers seem to slide on the caliper bolt sleeves within the rubber bushings. The caliper bolts seem to hold the sleeve in place against the bracket. I've been lubing the wrong part....needed to lube the sleeve in the bushing.
I installed the Kodiak 225 brake kit about 3 years ago and only noticed this time around that the brake pads are wearing unevenly, I think. The outer pad is significantly thinner than the inner pad (one on the piston). I've always thought that both pads would wear down fairly evenly. I'm OCD...
That's why I get my fuel at more reputable places even though there is one station near me that sells it way cheaper which would be nicer on my wallet....but you got to wonder why it's so much cheaper than all the other stations around :)
Thinking some more on this, it did seem like I had...
Yes, I put the stabilizer in on a full tank and go for a short run to burn the tank down so I have somewhere between 3/4 to 7/8 tank over the winter. If this is water, it would be a first as my winterization routine has been the same every year.
First engine start for the season. It started up and ran rough for a minute or two like it wanted to stall and then died. Now it won't restart. At times it sounds like it wants to but doesn't catch. During one start attempt, it made a pop/hiss sound and blew the IAC filter out of the...
Next question because I can't seem to find the answer in the service manual.
What kind of o-ring lube to use?
I googled it and the answers are all over the place....use engine oil, ATF, silicone, vaseline. Which one is it?
