aero3113 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I started to get the boat ready today before I drop it in the water for the season. I have had this boat for 4 years now and this is the first time I'm replacing the bellows,they were starting to look dried out (not sure when they were replaced before I bought it). So far it's not a bad job just need a couple special tools to remove the bell housing and shift cable. I'm also gonna replace the water pump in the drive. Last season I replaced the riser (hopefully I will be good for a few more seasons.) Can't wait for the warm weather! Bell housing and bellows removed At my wife's family's summer house on Shelter Island Out on Gardiners Bay,just east of Shelter Island Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I hear ya aero. I was out charging the batteries on mine today. Can't wait to get out there and do a little boat camping. Quote
aero3113 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 That's a nice setup you have Reg. Must be nice to be on a lake and not worry about the salt. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 yeah..this gal washing the winter off a DeSoto Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah, I have to scrub her pontoons clean whenever I take her down to the bay. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I'd like to "scrub her pontoons" myself. Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah, I have to scrub her pontoons clean whenever I take her down to the bay. I think I know but not real sure what you are saying here:cool: Quote
Niel Hoback Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 They're no good if you gotta splain 'em. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Don, at least he did not have her scrubbing the poopdeck...makes him the gentle coxswain...! Edited April 13, 2011 by Tim Adams Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Wait !!! I have to flush her out too. OK....now I'm out also. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I'm starting to think that we all need to get a life. Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I agree. I use to get a lot more projects done before this box got me hooked. I'm going to TRY and sign off now. Quote
