Well, the short story is that I've had a great deal of exposure to different trades throughout my time on this planet. So as I learn new things, assimilate the new information, learn the process and then while still working in the parameters of the object or style I was trying to emulate, I end up modifying it to suit my needs. In an effort to stay as genuine as possible, a little about my background, I'm a computer nerd. This will be a bumpy ride through my history of works. But mostly I hope that we both learn something, and that we both get something out of these videos. Stuff I like to do in no particular order: Carpentry, Wood Working, Furniture Making, Boating, Fishing, Fix Cars, Electronics, PC Repair, Renewable Energy, Design, Proof of Concept or Prototyping, Tiny House Living, Construction, and Remodeling.
Hello! I really liked the channel , I was playing a game called bonk when your son told me about your youtube channel , he is a really nice person in-game , your channel specializes in DIY but if you ever decide to open a gaming one I will support you , like&sub from Algeria :)
Cant wait to see the first run.i usually test the transom but standing on the motors cavitation plate and bounce on it a few times.upto 3/16 flex on the transom is normal. Id rather see it fail on land than in the water. This test also test your motors rubber isolator mounts.if the motor flexes more than 1/2".....mounts are worn.
Well considering it was done 3 years ago. I got made sure my outboard was able to take a starter. The starter can be found in the link below: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y3SDI6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The flywheel I found on ebay using the following part number: 8274A6 - I got lucky to find one with an attached ring gear. And the starting solenoid below is the one I used: www.ebay.com/itm/264510976232 Hope this helps you with your project.
Home built projects are great because they put you ij the frame of mind to think through your personal circumstances and what you would specifically prefer, instead of buying something mass produced like a car and making a bunch of tradeoffs where you adjust yourself to the machine. The next step is realising you can make adjustments to those mass produced things.
I do! There are other videos on it. I live in Florida so there’s no real need for a wood burning stove out here. I still have plans for adding the cooktop but that’s on the back burner for now.
What I would say as a rv mechanic, is high pressure leak test for structural failure, very low pressure leak test about 7psi for actual volume leaks. Like the video
Slow down on your welds and filled up more puddle. You're moving way too fast and not letting the heat liquify the steel. It looks like you're using 110 volt unit. Just keep it on the material for another second or two. You want it to sound like you're frying bacon
I traveled to Florida every late fall for decades. I made the mistake going once in August. Never again. You're right, at 9:30am it's already stifling hot and 95% humidity in the summer.
I did the same thing but with lawn sprinkler equipment. I got $300 in tubing and connectors for $35 and the store manager said I was wrong and they couldn't sell me the stuff....I said I bought it online already. I'm just here to pick it up. He complained and gave me my stuff.
Ok I'll go first. Think think think. Adapt and overcome. Perfect solution for a temporary lack of funds! Give a, thinking man, a minute or two, to think on something, no matter what, he will find another, solution. Or perhaps a better solution. Now he's going boating. And can afford more bait. Let's be clear tho, if your not mechanically inclined or have not been in our around, at least one or two tradesman of any construction trade, you will NOT BE ' inclined, your not gonna fix it properly'. Or if your forced to deal with things that do not come with instructions. You will probably fail on a good solution. Along with the fact that, you have no imagination. You will not adapt and overcome. No job but he is working!! I think that would be the clue, to who or what kind of man he is. Oh and idle hands are the hands of the devil.
Well I have ear muffs for outboards but the water inlet is about a 1/4” above the cavitation plate so unfortunately it has to get submerged for it to pump water. One of my projects is to setup a test tank for outboards that I’ll work on after this one.
@@leobuildsit the bastards need ALOT of water hahaha i remember yamaha outboards outpumping the hose alot of the times.... Tanks a beauty, until a heavy outboard comes along and you need a crane and 2 people to mount it 😂
