Damn PSS, seems your having the same luck I am with this ****in boat repair.

 

Still havent got that bolt out of the crank?

 

Sorry to hear that Matt

 

Fixed the threads on the crank, but the nut is beyond repair. The stator was replaced once before and it looks like whoever did it just used an impact gun . The nut is warped and the threads are chewed to ****.

Had to order another nut, $18 for one ****in nut that will be here Friday.

 

I bet this dude would be more than happy to pay only $18 to replace a nut.

Also . . . I hear that this thread title:

Just won the award for longest thread title.

Way to go Zach!

 

Right now I'd gladly pay $18 for a nut and run a die down the crank if thats all I had to do to it......

I am literally getting sick over this.

 

You're allowed just a few more characters than I used.

 

Well couldnt find a die big enough so I went at it with a fine file and chisel. Probably not the "right" way of doing it but it worked great.

Tonight gotta get the wiring done, last time out as soon as the trailer was submerged the signals/brake/hazard lights stopped workin on my truck and the trailer. And gotta get the boat lights rewired, whoever had this thing before did a real hack job on all the wiring

 

Little update... Cut the front end of the trailer off today and got it welded back up with new 1/4" steel. It's not going anywhere. Its sitting in the shop right now cooling off, then I'll pull the wires back through tomorrow after work.

 

Yea I know all about wiring woes, when I first bought mine it was hacked up bad too. I don't know how many times I have found hots connected to ground and grounds to hot. Not to mention the 3 or 4 pieces spliced together to make a 6' wire.

I spent most of the first summer chasing wires and buying as close to factory colors as I could so the schematic sorta made sense.

 

Some how I have a feeling Zach is involved in this somehow.....



This is at Table Rock Lake sunday where Zach was suppose to be......
Also A pontoon boat exploded on that same lake yesterday too, but I dont have any pics.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeet! Looks like I missed all of the entertainment on the lake...

 

well if you are a religious person pray for me now. I got teh transom pulled back in place on mine today....
I am getting ready to go to a friendss and pull the motor to change the transom assembly.
Went and got it saturday, that was a nice $400 transaction.

So pray and pray hard for me that nothing in broke on the inside. PLEASE God, don't let there be anything else broke!!!!!! I am out of money.

 

Then lunch will be on me.

 

What's that supposed to mean?
