Looks like a fun project. Hell of deal on the hull and trailer! Out of curiously, how are you planning. Taking the boat off the trailer and storing the boat while the trailer is getting rebuilt? I’ll certainly be following along your project. Looking forward to watching more videos and...

Thank you all for the advice! I probably won’t need to use my lawnmower for another month or two but I’ll probably let just use it for that. Glad to hear that I don’t need to buy a new tank and can just swirl some fresh gas around to clean it out. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply kdgrills. I don’t think I can put the gas/oil mixture that is in my 6 gallon into my truck, can I? Wouldn’t that cause an issue with my vehicle’s fuel system? I got the 20 hp Suzuki. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently bought a 20 hp 4 stroke to replace my 8 hp 2 stroke. The new motor came with a 3 gallon gas tank which is plenty for fishing the local lakes around me. However, in about a month I’m going to be going on a camping/fishing trip and will need more than enough fuel as I’m going to be in a...

Nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing the tiller extension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Patriot this is great info. After looking into the site and going back and forth with them a few times via email, I realized it wasn't legit. I hope these scammers don't fool anyone. It would be a shame if any TinBoaters or anyone else for that matter got duped by this. Randy, I pulled the...

I was out of town last weekend and didn't get a chance to work on the trailer. This week I got the 1 1/16 size and it fit perfectly. KMixson I kept rereading your steps you provided as I was working on it. As I was knocking the dust cap on I pinched my finger which was not fun, but all in...

So this evening I thought I was going to finish up this project, or at least this side of the trailer. I reviewed the spindle and made sure it was clean and didn't have any abrasions. Then I unpackaged the the hub kit read the instructions and placed the hub on the spindle. When I went to...

Yes, I'll be changing both hubs. I'll be sure to make sure that the seals are the correct ones. I appreciate the advice on which ones to buy. I'm going to run out on my lunch break and buy them and hopefully get everything back together this evening. I'll be sure to not overload then with...

Thank you Kmixson. Since my hub is pretty rusty and reading through the difficulties of knocking out the race and the gruesome injury you sustained I think I'm just going to get a new hub assembly. I can't even imagine how bad that hurt. It must have been excruciating! Johnny, you're right...

Success! ...or at least half way there. This afternoon I went out and bought a propane torch from Lowes ($16). Once I fired that up I kept the flame of the area where the bearing buddy meets the hub flange for about 4 minutes and kept rotating it. I could tell it was getting pretty hot. Then it...

I put the rubber mallet down and began using the hammer. No budging. I don't have a torch so I didn't get to try that yet. I may go pick one up tomorrow. When I looked closer and shined a light into the cap I noticed there was a thin plastic seal, and was able to pry that out. Then I noticed a...

Thanks Johnny! I'll try this. Time ratchet up the force.

Any ideas on how to remove a cap that is stuck on my bearings? I jacked up the trailer, took the tire off and then proceeded to lightly tap on the cap with a wooden mallet, giving it a quarter turn after every tap. I then tried to pull the cap off or loosen it up, but nothing happened. Next I...

This is awesome! Really nice work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
