Title: How not to break down
Post by: BOOST on July 26, 2009, 04:14:28 PM
What do you guys do to keep your rods in working condition ? as for me a dry boat is a happy boat  prevents corrosion and electrical failure.

Brian you have a cool setup, I dont think you have anything to worry about. I have a 10 X 20 canopy over my ride, and that is just plenty. When I am done for the season I spray the crap outta it with the good ole WD40, the engine that is, unless I have the stuff from work, hehe, but other than that, I have a boat cover that I use ocasionaly, and I put towels over the seats and the back seat, and then I put my little tub of anti-mildew-moisture thingy bob in and I am good to go. But dont use it often, just like it to breathe. Just my .02 bud    Mark

And I am on my 4th season, of trouble free running, and she starts every time. I do NOT have to wrench on her at all. Alot I know has to do with the A & D engine build, of course. Theres a plug for ya Dave ;D ;D. Oh and one last thing is to keep your Battery on a trickle charger. Cant stress enough how important that is. If ya got the cash to buy a Bat every season, more power to ya, but I dont :mad: I do the 1 month on 1 month off, and I have had my Bat for the past 4 years :thumbup:

I know the feeling Steve.... work usually 6 days a week, up early and when I get home its more work, it BLOWS!!!.  :banghead:, Its all about yard work, clean up after my dog, make sure my 14 year old daughter is doing homework, or fending off the boyfriends of my daughter :banghead: :banghead: make dinner, maybe watch a little boobtube, shower and then bedtime, and then up at 4 am and start all over again. Soooo anyhow get that dammnn thing wet and you better post some pics, otherwise we all might think you are talkin about a kayak or something, and posting pics of your neighbors boat :D :D :D :D

Just use it a hell of alot.  For example, I work my rod as regularly as I can and it works pretty damn good according to the female recipients.

Carry around a bag of tools and spare parts. Then you'll never need them.  :thumbup:

Don't carry anything and for sure something will break!

Not efficient but Safe, I can almost guarantee that if Ray needs the tools that they will be right where he left him  ;D
