When I install that style filter, I remove the whole assembly from the engine. I turn the filter head upside down and insert the o ring end of the filter into the filter head. I put the red water ring over the tail and spread them apart a little. Then with the unit still upside down, press the...

To really see what kind of sealing surface you have left, you can take an orbital sander with 80 grit and sand the base of the block. Just keep the sander flat at all times. It would be beneficial to see what is under all the corrosion.

I am really hoping it holds. The last motor that needed this repair came in with watered down electrical parts. I had to replace the stator, starter motor, and a few other expensive electrical parts. He wasted 1500$ worth of electrical before he opened the hood and found the damage. Just keep...

Have you checked out the aluminum ones. They are lighter and won’t rust out on you. They also tow a lot better. Here in fla, we use aluminum since the galvanized ones don’t hold up with the salt, humidity, and heat. Aluminum frames never die. Rolls trailers have great aluminum ones. So does...

Ty. An extra 2 ft can make a big difference. I made mine 22 wide instead of 20. I can walk completely around both boats comfortably. Hoa can really be unreasonable sometimes. Metal was very affordable. I got this one installed for around 5 grand and the metal to enclose is around 1500. You...

If ethanol gas gets older than 3 months, it starts to spoil. Once it hits 6 months, it is lawn mower gas if you are lucky. Non ethanol gas lasts 9 months to a year and is still useable. Moisture enters the tank through the tank vent hose every morning and evening if the tank is not full. The...

Looks awesome. I just invested in a metal carport for mine. It is 36x22ft. The clearance is 10ft on the sides and 13 in the middle. Big enough to put both of my boats. GI am currently putting up the 3 metal walls. May also enclose the front of it if needed with a door. Nothing like sheltering...

Cannons In long boat is the way to go if you are looking to get your issue fixed. They have been there since the 70’s.

The ethanol fuel that came out should be recycled. Anything you put it into will get damaged. It has gone through phase separation and is now useless. Get some k100 to add to the fresh marine fuel when you get the main tank back in service. Also install a racor filter with a drainable glass to...

That is a rare problem for the mechanical senders that were put in those tanks. Usually the magnetic capsule is the culprit and can be replaced without even removing the gasket. There are 2 types of capsules. One all mechanical with a needle on the sender and one with 2 wires for a gage and a...

H Yes. More pics. Doesn’t look like a factory hard top. How many hours on motors? Have the gas tanks been replaced? Does it have a bow pulpit?

I can see asphalt doing that. Not used to asphalt driveways. 99% of driveways in fla are white concrete.

Here in fla, you can leave it in for a week or so as long as you use it every day. If it sits at the dock, scub starts at 3 days. Make sure you have good zincs.

Wet the canvas on the clean driveway and spray some awesome all purpose cleanser on it. Available at the dollar store. Yellow liquid in spray bottle. Agitate it with a brush for a few min and rinse. Then use Clorox 2. Mix some in a bucket of water along with a little bit of oil eater...

F150 repair

Get some 320 emery and Lightly polish it a little and see what you have. Wouldn’t worry about it. It will be fine.

I believe that means you have to let it dry for at least 24 hours, but make sure you launch it within 6 months for it to work. Once you launch the boat, the conditions will change in that 6 months out of the water may not work. Here in fla, we recoat every year for effectiveness. Ablative with...

I have seen this same situation before on many f150 s. It is an electrolysis problem that happens due to the water flow direction in that passageway. I have fixed many with the jb weld method. I use a product called pc-11. I repair it from the inside and the outside with the pc11. I wire brush...

I would suggest non ethanol gas next time if it is available. Saves a lot of aggravation.
