Thank god i am out of the tyvek suit, was up to 86 today. Still was bustin my ass in it. Removed the prop, prop shaft, cutlass bearing, replaced bearing and did some primer work.



I think i got some sun!

oOoo ive been trying to catch some sun too. its been kinda alternating between 30degrees and 80....

High of +3 today. Heavy snow flurries alternating with sunshine, with winds strong enough to make the car door smack you enough to hurt a little.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.gif

Nice today! Got into the low 60's, but breezy. Got to play outside this afternoon with the kids. It was a big improvement over this morning when it was raining buckets, and we had a tornado watch until 11 am.

76' and putting the baits on for the tourney tommorrow.gonna get sum sun !

did you rent a bearing puller or does that blow boat have something different then what Im used to?

it's the same style strut as most the power boats.



yard had a puller and a reinstallererer.

blow boat=sail boat

yea i edited but you already replied i figured it out.. I was thinking blow the movie so i was cornfuzzled.

strut:

I know what a strut is silly ass, I was wondering how you managed to pull it- the yard had one so that was good.

yea but u asked if it was the same, so i provided an exact photo ya bastid.



Yea, the yard guy rocks, he charged the asshat rich **** next to me 125 to remove his bearing, he told me how to do it and loaned me all the tools fo free!



I am actually cleaning the SS shaft right now, i dropped the prop off to be balanced, so i didnt have to clean it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

better to get it balanced, would not want it to interfere with your sailing!

40 to clean and balance, i need to get a new stuffing box too, mine's green.

so i think i am going to polish the prop and pshaft as i dont like the idea of trying to paint them. consensus?

yeah painting shafts seems like trying to piss in the corner...

Chrome plated? Ceramic coated?

mmm.. pony!!

That's what SHE said! (ew)





We spent the weekend at St. George Island. It was coolish, but the sun was shining enough that you could run around on the beach in a swimsuit. Water was in the low 60s, so swimming was only for the drunk/insane.

-35 with the Windchill today, everything is closed, and I can't see across the street right now.

yah, they closed the 401 after work, send you onto the unserviced side roads to fend for yourself because of a couple of snow drifts on the main highway. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.gif

******* cold here today. Makes me wish i went to florida with my parents this week.

i like how half the people here are from hot and half are from cold

Here is why the highway was closed down here, something like 1800 snapped Hydro Poles.

Snowing now :(
