Taking an inboard engine out of a boat is supposed to be a rare event but this is becoming annual. The only good thing about that is we’re getting good at it. The motor weighs about 160 lbs and my back is not even close to being up for that. Simple mechanics (simple enough even for me) saved the day. Fortunately it is light enough to slide sideways on the horizontal quite easily.
And if it doesn’t run any better next spring it can look forward to a new career as the number one anchor!
Alan, you should have been an engineer or perhaps a physics professor!
Engineer or Physics professor ?? Alan ??? I don’t think he’d even make a very good number two boat anchor. That said, I have every confidence that when it comes time to put the engine back in that it will only take an hour or two for him to figure out which end goes to the front, and which to the back.
Actually making it run again will be another matter entirely.
LOL!
Have you heard this conversation before Martha?? i think so.
Now that’s just downright cruel !!!!!
Don’t worry Bill this is an ageless and endless battle of the wills between these two.i keep hoping they will grow out of it but not yet at any rate!
Oh well Jane. You know what they say,whoever “they” are, we boys just never seem to grow up.
