Bearing maintenance

Oh ****, I'm challenged enough just trying to remember to write it down in the garage log.... 'smatter of fact, I haven't yet.... With 6 vehicles and a couple boats, I don't stand a chance of remembering what I did to which one.

I hear you, SilentSeven. It's one of my least favorite tasks, but I'd rather do it in my garage than on the road! I need to buy one of those laser thermometers.

Yes, the boats NEED to come out now!!!

I like the enthusiasm, but we've still got lots of ice here. I did finally remember to drop my prop off today for a little TLC.

We're on a river so the ice is all gone now. It will be dry suits and pretty chilly on the feet, but that's the price we pay to ski in March in NH. It definitely won't be that Caloosahatchee water. :-(

Your profile says you have a 64 American Skier?! I think you're gonna have to post some pictures of that guy.

I didn't do a very good job on my profile. The 64 and 87 are previous boats. The 1997 is the current one... sorry...

Full Brake replacement almost complete. The starboard side was nearly as bad as the port side but also had the same rear seal placement issue. That's Corrected on both sides now so hopefully no more greasy, grimy gopher guts inside the drums. I just need to find a ferrule nut for the plastic brake line as one of them was split. Hoping True Value will have it.

Well, what do you know, I had a couple pictures of the 1964 American Skier... It was a great little boat but the foot throttle had to go as my foot would bounce on wakes which was kind of unpleasant for the skier. I also added the swim platform. It's final demise was the 289 spitting out all it's oil. I traded it in for the 1987.

wetskier2000 - Garage log sounds like something i send the kids to throw on the fire. I very much like the idea though.

Ferrule and nut in stock at the local True Value.... A quick power bleed and the Trailer has Brakes again!!!
