when we hit that stupid wood i think i broke a seal in the lower unit as i see some LU oil dripping. Before we go out i will need to drain it and pressure test it again :(. The good news is when i opened the bottom screw i did not see water. Well i hope that is good news lol.

Re: Planning to go out 5/19

Got a new tank and line. I am suspecting to have water entered the lower unit also. Ordered impaler and drain plug seals and thermostat. And 12v water pump for flushing motor or boat. Mods are on the way

Sounds good. I will hopefully drain the lu today and pressure test it

I will make a small video on how to do it and what i used. ( you have brand new gear. If you are not leaking Lower unit oil i would not worry about pressure testing your outboard

Re: Planning to go out 5/19

I am trying to get the day off. I have that Friday off and as of now the following Tuesday. I am trying to see if I can switch the Tuesday to the Monday but things are conspiring against. As it is, it looks like I might get stuck with a 3 week training, if so I could be out of commission for a while. I need to fish hard and fast, lol. Seems the Porgies and Blues are traveling this way... def looking forward to a mixed bag! I hope you guys don't have LU problems... if so, i'm sure i'm in too... and I just got her back together!!! :(

1) used my stabond and put some glue on the pinhole. I was informed that if the hole is small i will not even need to put a patch on. It will finish curing tomorrow night and we will see :).

2) wil refill my oil on Sat or Sun so i will be ready by 6:30a Monday. The good news is they called off the rain for Monday.

Re: Planning to go out 5/19

The bad news... I will not be joining you guys on this trip! :( The worse news... the 3 weeks training is pretty much official. Now the only thing is weather it is as soon as First week of June or Middle of July. Either way i'm gonna miss out but if it is the first Week of June i'm gonna miss out big time!!! :( blows big time!!!!

Bring your boat with you.
I will take you out to a couple of places
If you don't bring yours you can ride in mine

Hit me up and we can work out the details.

Re: Planning to go out 5/19

Ok part 1 of Monday plan is complete. I had hole which looked like a hook hole. I followed Sinister instruction of just putting glue on it and use the vac so suck air out so the glue can get inside the hole and seal it. I inflated properly 2 hours ago as it reached the 24 hour cure time. Tomorrow i will test for leaks and hopefully I will be good for Monday or Sunday if someone cannot make monday the 19th or our second trip Friday the 23rd.
