    Boat budget question

    Hang on , if you have parts in stock, not specifically bought for the current project but will be used on it ....they are free to the current project , but if you accept this logic the part in question must be charged retrospectively to the previous project that was under way when the part was...

    Critters in My Boat

    I use strawberry netting , a light weight netting to keep birds off fruit crops , I just hang it about the place on their flight paths and the birds hate it (coz they get stuck in it and die slowly while I watch 😁 ) and generally stay clear of it .

    2001 Yamaha 90 2 stroke top bearing noise

    How much play do you have . These things have ball bearings and they do have a bit of clearance...like a couple of thou ....the sort of clearance you may feel if you give it a wobble but if you can see movement its probly to much , and its an engine apart job to replace the bearing.

    What's your best "MacGyver it" boat, non-boat story?

    One night wife and I were driving over the Crown range ( highest main road in NZ ) and got waved down by some guy ( with an hysterical woman and screaming kids in the car ) broken down . Turns out the in tank fuel pump had crapped out ( easily found because he told me he had just fixed it 🙄)...

    Help - I sheared off the bolt holding the Shift Lever on the Bell Crank!!

    If there is any movement between the shift lever and bell crank it will get worse with use. I think further drilling will be difficult as your 1st hole is way off centre. Good luck 🙂

    Help - I sheared off the bolt holding the Shift Lever on the Bell Crank!!

    Easy outs are not magic , gotta be careful , if you use to big an easy out you risk flaring out the end of the bolt jamming it in even tighter. I like the straight fluted ones, bang em in hard to cut some grooves and then pull it out and the bolt will spring back a bit then refit the easy out...
