This doesn’t directly answer your question, but if you want an excuse to get another tool you could grab an earth leakage clamp meter. These...
Good thing about a boat is you are only stuck in one place if you can’t fix it! I’m interested to hear how you enjoy TN over time. Someday we plan...
Replace all fuel filters and make sure the bowls are topped off. Ensure running gear is completely clean. A little scum on the hull won’t hurt...
Unfortunately I have no contact with the PO. Though I suspect it wouldn’t matter - my guess is the boat was painted by the owner before him.
If I go with the Alexseal topcoat do I need to use their primer as well? Does the fairing compound formulation matter relative to the top coat...
My boat was painted at some point by a previous owner. It seems like pretty standard white. There are various nicks and chips where the original,...
good enough for me thx
A few more things to think about in terms of insurance: -It is very hard to find an insurer who will write you a policy if you don’t have 2-3...

Strongly recommend a cruise up to ft louden near Knoxville. Gorgeous, dramatic cliffs dropping into the water and the smokies on the horizon....
I had an enclosed bridge Viking with a tower and really appreciated the center ladder. Felt very secure going up and down. I don’t know why -...
I ordered a gear puller set - wasn’t too expensive. Will report back hopefully when I have it apart. Separately, on the matter of the gears, with...
ok this makes sense. I tried prying between the pump housing and gear with two wrenches but I was afraid to get too…violent with it. There is a...
Ok I’m stumped. How do I get the main gear off the shaft so I can disassemble the old pump? I got the front nut off with an impact wrench while...
Accessing all of the gears is going to be really, really hard. I’m gonna start with what I can see removing the water pump and fuel pump and...
Found this diagram in the workshop manual. Now I see what you guys are talking about. This thing is a frickin Swiss watch. Multiple gears...
I didn’t inspect every tooth on the drive gear, but the ones that I could see looked fine. Maybe a slight bit of a wear pattern but nothing like...
