before I pulled the motor, I felt a little play in the driveline when I reached into the bell housing and pulling on the driveline......
AFTER I pulled the motor I grabbed the pump shaft and move it...... nothing. Solid .with zero play in it......I'm wondering what would do that .....it's the old style Rockwell driveline. The I joints seem solid..... it was bolted tight to the flex plate .....the pump shaft looks good..... spins freely . the splines look ok as well as the shaft on the driveline itself
and ideas?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Ready to pull motor
« on: April 25, 2014, 07:38:29 PM »
pulling the motor in the AM.
I am going to check the bottom end and RR the freeze plugs....it will give me a chance to see what's in the motor.
Hopefully nothing is hurt and I can clean it up repaint it as well as put a
new timing cover on it ( the current one leaks a little)
The pump is going to ship to Central Texas Jet-boat for a rebuild.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / freeze plugs
« on: April 11, 2014, 05:47:38 AM »
I thought I had winterized my float and kept a heat source in the engine compartment, drained all the water etc....( as I had in the past) but after an unusually cold winter here in Mississippi I had 2 freeze plugs pop off when I started it yesterday.
I had looked the engine over before I fired it up, everything looked ok but.....
my question, should I just replace the 2 that came out, or should I go ahead and replace them all?

I'm contemplating putting something on top of my fiberglass swim steps to save my knees...... anyone ever lay wetsuit ( neoprene ) over the top of them for cushioning? and how would you attach it..... glue. Mechanically?
any thoughts?

The No Wake Zone / wannabe contractors
« on: November 03, 2013, 05:04:05 PM »
I'm not a contractor. That being said, I've swung a hammer...., set forms, put up siding, pushed dirt for a few years and set tile in dozens of houses when it was raining and I couldn't work outside. But I AM blessed with some common sense.....This mess is because some lazy Fook ( or stupid) or evil... or all
of the above didn't do the job right. this is my don't bathroom. it had beautiful Black
granite tile..... floors and tub surround.... well a tile was loose.... I went to reset it and WHAT? USB was under it..... with glue holding down .....(Elmer's I'm positive .... ) no water barrier.... hardie backer....nothing.

The No Wake Zone / times up
« on: October 26, 2013, 02:43:49 PM »
the clock has been started for summer 2014.
it was 33 degrees last night so, it's "winterization station" for the Bahner.
the motor / jet have run like a champ all summer so other than clean up and 'tune up' -no real big plans..... mostly cosmetic items to address in the interior. I am going to add a couple grab handles for the GF and one on each side to assist to climb onto the swim step.
I am going to re glass both steps tho, and I'm going to see if I can lay some neoprene on the tops of the steps to help my old knees

Polk Audio website advertises them for 119.00 each.
I have Polk speakers with a 400 watt amp...and really like the clean sound they put out and I'm looking forward to seeing what the sub will do for the system.
