The trim rams on my merc are still rocking the 40 year old seals. Maybe playing with fire... but no leaks yet. (probably just started now that I said that :LOL:) That includes 20 years wet stored in the salt drink... One of those things I'd never even give thought to worry about honestly...
It's native to this area but I personally don't see an abundance of it around me. Down further in the pinelands it is more common. I typically just see regular moss.
If they started doing that, the state would have to care. Much easier to have like 80% of your fire fighting force be entirely unpaid as then it's easier to turn a blind eye... yeah don't get me started either... :rolleyes:
And that's the other problem... do i spend the money on a trailer that is still marginal for the load to begin with or just upgrade everything. I intend to scale the truck/trailer then boat and see what I'm really dealing with... I fear I may actually be at the trailers weight limit.
I really should do this on my trailer.... I just know that I probably shouldn't trust electric brakes in the salt. Those electric over hydraulic setups are expensive... but so is a wreck. :rolleyes:
I got the coolest response from a friend on the water today. I was running wide open toward him and he was cruising back. He goes to me "that thing looks badass coming toward you. Like a dart. Little chine walk, most the thing is out of the water, looks bad. ass."
I call that a success.
Risers are in. It is deceiving looking outside in how high the static height is. Water basically floats at flapper height. Should be good now. I went out and ran it and all seems well.
Curious though, should I go and retorque the studs after a few heat cycles? I typically do with the bolts but...
True but, it also was all new from the restoration. I don't think it would've happened immediately but if it had started later I would agree. And again I thought it would've shown up in the original float test. But things happen.
While I don't want to, it looks like I am going to have to pull...
So I checked and tightened the boots with no change. Looked around and it definitely is coming from the Y-pipe mating area.
My 3 thoughts are as follows:
Y-Pipe o-ring
Hydraulic hose block gasket
Continuity kit screw. (had to retap and went through, sealed with 5200 but may leak?)
I got...
