Before I installed the remote filter, I would get the engine up to operating temp and add my winter antifreeze, then grab an empty gal antifreeze jug and fill it, pretty much to the top. Now with the remote it overflows it, because of the extra oil in the lines to the remote. I don't believe...

The only ones that don't are drag cars with the real wide tires, they run screws thru the rims to hold them in place because of the extreme torque.

There should not have been any glue that rim. That tire was healed to the rim from age and pressure. When you trailer boat there more maintenance than just the boat. you were probable do, that can just moved everything along a little sooner. Look at it as some kind of wake up call.:unsure:

That is what happens when some with an impact wrench and 150 lbs hammers on the lugs. 30 yrs and 90 lbs with a torque wrench. Never had to change one on the road, but if I have to, I want to be able to. I am familiar with a 4 ft length of pipe however.:)

That's normal, even when they are new.

Sorry to hear about your day. Your boat ins should cover your cost. I torque my trailer lugs to 90 lbs, because I lack the strength too. At 90lbs, I can break them loose.

At the back of the cavitation plate on the bottom is a tab that you should be able to change the direction that it is pointing. ( On my mercruiser you can) It helps to divert the prop wash. If you can try to point it in the other direction and see if that helps. Also do you have any play in your...

Probably what SST seen was a Black Snake they are not poisonous and are on the endangered list. They are supposed to be part of the Lake Erie Ecosystem.

If you let go of the wheel, what does she do? And what outdrive do you have?

It would be interesting to see her top end and GPH

I don't think he or she is angry, it was just letting them know who is in charge out there. That's what I like about The Great Lakes, the main thing I look out for when I go out is bad weather. And if you are watchful, you can see it coming before it does something like that to you.

Maybe a loose wire.

For me it was mostly a safety issue, crawling around on my hands and knees on my deck in 2ft waves on Lake Erie is no fun. As you well know.

I was the clam cleat, when the bow went down, I pulled in the road, when it came up I held it in place on the bow rail, that was the easy part. After the anchor was freed, then came the fun part, hopping over the windshield while hanging on to the anchor line, reaching around the arch and then...

:)Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the want. And welcome to the forum.

I do not believe that there is anyone here that has done a make over to their girl to the extent that I have. My advice is. If you are not going to keep her forever. Don't Do It! You are changing the original appearance of her, and whoever you will sell her to will be able to tell, plus you will...

If I need to get on her bow, in rough seas, I will go through her hatch.

That was not paint. My guess is it is a wrap that let go.

For me it has a dual purpose, #1 it has lengthen my agility to still boat alone, which I do 90% of the time. #2 And for safety, I don't hop over the windshield like I did 30 yrs ago. Lol I also added an electrical winch to my arsonal to allow me to be able to retrieve my girl, I think she has...
