New England B.S. Thread

I don't have one of the brake bleeder. Hopefully not much more at marina as it isn't right on water. If it is much more than 10, I will have the wife order one on prime. I meant to do this stuff last week and now I have limited time, so don't want to wait on shipping in case there is another issue I need to work out after I change the fluids and get fresh gas in there.

 

B.O.A.T. = Break Out Another Thousand $

 

$10.50 I’m back in action!

 

You could go full redneck; jam the nozzle of the bottle into the lower opening, stick the needle for a football into the bottom of the bottle, and pressurize the bottle a little at a time with your compressor (or one of those cheapo tire pumps)

 

Went out and just grabbed one. Hopefully should be the only one I ever buy

 

You'll have misplaced it by the next season's oil change.

 

So, there was a 7.50 option too, but I sprung for the fancy brand name that came with a metric adapter I didn't think I needed...

I needed it! So good thing I did. Worked like a champ was done in like 5 minutes from opening the package.

Throwing it in a plastic bag and will keep it in boat or storage container. Hopefully it lasts but I won't be surprised if It doesn't.

 

What size motor are we talking? On a smaller than 25 horse it should be easy to just squeeze the bottle enough to fill the lower unit, but buying a pump kit for like $25 bucks at Bass Pro or wherever is worth it.

EDIT: I see you got it!

 

Thanks for chiming in anyways! I think my problem was I didn't have a good seal on the bottom when I was trying without the pump. Oh well, pump worked great and I am happy it's all back together. Battery is a blue top and it last all winter outside (under a shed) and started right up today, I was shocked, was planning on having to pull it in and recharge it up. Drained a little gas out from last season, pumped in some new fresh VT stuff and it started right up no problem. I've never worked on a boat motor before so I was worried to be honest and am very relieved everything is running right!


New wheels and tire are on track for tomorrow so I'll be cruising up there FAST! (well over 55mph)

***nevermind the dirty boat, had birds roosting above it all winter. Will clean off later this week (it's gone rain)

 

@vssman look at where I am!


To everyone else. Stay away from this place! It's busy enough without you!!!
Jk.
This place is fantastic and I recommend it to everybody that is going to the mid cape.

 

Hey Rob!

I beat you to it earlier this month!

Don't forget to go to the Schoolhouse Ice Cream shop just a stones throw east from you on 28.

 

And don't worry, were going for it afterwards!

 

I was there a few weeks ago! I also recommend Chatham fish and lobster co.

 

Nice!

 

Are you pulling my leg?
He's coming up this weekend for real?!

 

@vssman

Proof!

 

Haha well he needs something to do labor day...

@fatfurious2

 

That would be insane. But ive done crazier things..

CF&L is pretty good. They were sold a year or two ago to Mac's and changed things a bit. They are now gluten free on the fish & chips. The Red Nun in Chatham is pretty good too. Hmmm. I have to go back to close up the house mid September; now I'll be thinking about where to eat for the next few weeks!
