Torn bucket linkage.
« on: July 13, 2009, 08:57:44 AM »
I was adjusting the bucket on my boat the other day and i tore the plastic casing on the cable.  It hasn't affected the throw but i am afraid of water entering the line and causing corrosion in the future.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to waterproof the line to keep water out.  I tried silicone but the first run it came off.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Make sure you run the shrink tube over the metal casing on the cable, I think you'll be fine as wine with that setup

Tom,
Thanks for the heads up.  I saw that you sell the cables and they look very reasonable but i am just trying to get through the rest of the season before i tear everythig apart again. ;D
