Re: Tin addiction 18' Starcraft Chieftain
Thanks for taking a look and the encouraging words. I have a full week of after work tin fixation on the big list. I have a date with the boom truck on Saturday! Yeah Jas I will chain it up right so as to not punch a hole though the new decking. :heh:
On the 205 V6 I got it pressure washed, the motor mounts cleaned and painted Then the oil changed out, new belts and alternator. I have a good story on the alternator that was corroded up with terminals missing and had the wires yanked out by the PO. I pulled the alternator and removed the screen cover from the back and wheeled it clean. Went to Oreilly's auto parts store with the old Delco-Remy and dropped it on the counter saying I need a new one of these. The guy looks at the serial, looks at me, types on his computer, looks at me again so I say what? He walks around to a display wall and pulls off a box that says 'Wilson' on it. I tell him I don't need a basketball but he opens it up and it's the exact same Delco-Remy with all the right connectors and the serial matches mine. The little 10' wall was their marine section. I cringed waiting for him to say that's gonna be some plastic melting price like 200+ smackers. Nope the guy says that'll be 60 bucks plus sales tax. After I reeled up my dropped jaw I left and put on the new wiring, connectors along with the mesh cover that shields the brushes. I take that as an omen. I hope the rest of the motor and outdrive assembly goes good too.
