    Derelict Boats

    Around here the owner gets charged. Sure sometimes the owner is hard to find but eventually they get the bill.

    leak from deck to inside boat above waterline

    If you have rot, obviously the core is rotted. That will have to be dealt with, and repaired accordingly. It can turn into a pretty big repair.

    Would you?

    Brother in law took me fishing years ago. Yup the boat left the trailer before we got 1/2 way in. Took out the stern mounted transducers. Not my fault!

    well....dreaded boat damage victim...need expertise answers

    Following along. I would think the Marina would be responsible. Your insurance shouldn't be involved. That's how it works up north here. If we put a ding in a boat, it's on us.

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    As I said before, my husky bar went south even as I greased it regularly. Quit doing that and never had an issue in the last 20 years.

    Need Help

    Have you checked the thru-hull by the sink? I looked up your boat online and saw it had one. Even with the valve shut off it could still leak at the fitting itself. Or the fresh water system is leaking somewhere.

    Need Help

    Be good to find where the water is coming in. Some boats, the cabin area sits lower than the stern. It can't drain like that. Find out why it sits lower if that's the case. You can install a pump in the area if there is space. I've seen some boats that get loaded up with way to much storage junk...

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    I used to have the grease deal for lubing the front sprocket. Till I found out the hard way. The bearing went out. Found out that the grease actually formed a “dam” around the bearing and some debris was held in there also, causing it to go bad. Without the grease, the oils from the bar can lube...

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    I wouldn't even think of dish soap. It's a cleaner of corse, and will wash away any residual oil. Any other oil works better. But keeping a bucket of real bar oil makes it so much easier.

    Random

    Did the same thing. LOL On another note: I worked at a shop and the other tech had just finished a tune up. When he started the car I tossed a firecracker under the car. He immediately shut down and freaked out trying to find the issue. We all had a good laugh when he smelt the powder!

    Polaris hawkeye drive belt rattle.

    You said it is under warranty so I think I would have them look at it again. Show them what it’s doing. It would drive me nuts if it’s too loud. They say it’s normal so have them show you with a different machine if that makes noise also.

    Polaris hawkeye drive belt rattle.

    My old sportsman rattled a bit. The belt would slap the plastic housing at lower speeds. You could see the marks on the housing. Never had any issues with it otherwise as far as the belt goes though.

    1999 grand Cherokee is mine. Rated to pull 5000 lb. Yours is a bit small for that.

    Drainage of the pontoon

    I simply put the plugs in dry. Never have water coming out in the fall. You must have leaks. Are your plugs the pipe plug style? Or some kind of screw?

    Need help with my situation

    I either put parts washer fluid on the spill or brake clean, scrub a bit and put oil dry on it. Next day sweep up and it’s clean. Not perfect but still good. in my garage I clean that way, and also if it’s really bad, I follow up with dish soap and bleach. Pressure wash and it comes out nice.

    What might be a concern

    Good question, what year is it? I've taken 40+year old used motors that sat many years and got them going. It might be ok.

    Clutch Hydraulics, 1989 GMC C1500

    Any rubber lines going to it should be replaced also. Being that old, they collapse inside where it cant be seen.

    Looking for an independent marine mechanic in central Alberta

    Alot of small shops don't advertise. They don't need to, their reputation speaks for them. One here does plenty of business by word of mouth. As suggested ask around your area.
