Day 5, Some engine check, Sump and Bilge pumps, rid off of headliner, 7 hours

-

Welcome to marina.


 


Dock cleats for main docking lines. 

Yes, now I can drop line. 

Strings still tied to dock frame.



Check - fit companion way vertical slides, two smaller need to be shortened for an inch.

Nothing interesting to show now.

 

Run around motor, 

    confirmed it is 2QM20H - 86264


    Installed air filter, with current fuel pipes configuration "nose" may look only on top.

    Checked oil

    Tried to check sensors, several openings:

        a) Cooling water drain in front cylinder is little draining to bilge. WTF, i did not understand why water is collected in the bilge when I start motor.




 

        b) "ignition switch" is not switching "ON" wire, actually swtich is ok, 12V is coming from somewhere to Red-Black wire. Need to figure out what is going.


c) Open positive wires from battery!!!! kidding  just connection made with isolation tape, tape is almost gone


Transmission. Telegraph.

I know gear is switching hard, so hard that remote control mounting loosing screws.

Spent about an hour, confirmed the transmission work well, to extensive force needed to switch the gear. However, cable is very tight. by feeling old grease is  thickened. I have hope to clean it and get work. Will see. Next time will try to remove it.

Water speed sensor. 

Pulled sensor from housing on the water. NOT did not sink, water flow is nothing to talk about.

Some grows was on the wheel. I cleaned it. Now it will be ok.

Took out almost all headliner and rotted sides.


Navigation table bulkhead corner rotted, but all around looks solid.


 Sump pump

Installed sump pump and bilge pump switch, still need to replace hose, but first need to disconnect it from output fitting.

Day 183 1/5/25 Take engine home.

Engine Take engine from the boat and move to home garage. Easy to say, hard to do. Water level in the lake now is 40ft below normal level. And total height drop between parking lot and docks about 70-80ft.  Marina has no lift, ramp or crane to move something more than 200 lb up way. Only way is very long stairs with 140 steps.   View form the parking lot...    Staircase we climbed up. Yes, you can see the lift, but it is only 200lb capacity and no way to use. Picture was made on the middle of the process. Based on engine spec it has to weight 400 lb. It is a lot but should be more or less bearable weight for 3-4 people. Challenge was accepted, but looks like it is heavy enough to do a problem ;-) Moving from boat to dock was very easy, just hook chain hoist to boom lift it  and swing boom to the dock. put on a dolly and roll it to staircase. After an hour of planning we (My son and I) decided to use blocks and ropes to slide it up. We mounted engine on the plywo...

 Deck Spent a day to wipe all to clean, then de-greaser, then solvent, and then priming.  Surface area is not too big, but still be ~400 sq.ft.    I did wiping and cabin top at one day, cockpit and area next to toe rails in second one. Primed only area plan to paint glossy. non-skid paint does not require priming, just washing with detergent, but it will be later.  Observed two problems  first - rolling and tipping leaving brush marks  even when 25% solvent added. Second - (actually helps to maintain first) I need second layer because  one layer of primekote does not covering well. So, I plan one more gallon of primer and one mode day to of sanding and one more day of priming.   End of day1     End of day 2
