    The mechanic told me at last WOF check, that one of the four hubs was a bit noisy – so I decided to change it – a braked disk, so not easy to get the wheel off – and back on. I knocked the bearing shells out of the noisy hub but could not whack the new shell back in the hub – I took it up to the garage and the mechanic had to use a press to get it back in. So wheel back on the trailer and decided to pump up the bearing buddies – the one on the failed bearing would not move. Cleaned it out and pumped air through it – but blocked solid. Probably been blocked for years so while I thought it was full of grease – it was empty. About $6 for a new grease nipple – and all good.
    I changed the battery switches so I could operate the motor hydraulics and the top fell off the switch – checked all three switches and they all fell apart – 2003 boat so I guess plastic fails with old age. They put a lot off gear in the rear end of a 5.8m boat – two batteries, bilge pump, oil pump etc – so a bit of a mission to replace the battery switches – thank goodness they come as an assembled set. So, if your boat is getting older – maybe it’s a good time to push, pull and flick the heads of the switches.
    Next thing was to start the motors – 150HP and 8HP Yamaha. The hand prime pump on the 150 was rock solid so I couldn’t get the fuel through to the filter glass on the motor – but electric start and the motor started fine. The hand pump on the 8HP worked fine and after a lot of hand pulls – I finally got the motor to start. A new hand primer for the 150 was about $30 and simple to fit.
    I have removed the bulk of the old petrol from the underfloor tank using a suck it and see syphon through a small diameter plastic tube – and fortunately, didn’t get a mouthful of fuel. The lawnmower doesn’t seem to mind the old fuel, mixed and non-mixed.
    So just about ready to go fishing again.

    Hewy TO, they had a bad batch of plastic casings, the switches would break free & stop working. Had all ours replaced under warranty a few years back.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    The boat project is on pause until the time and financial budgets align again. Off to my parents place for storage in the mean time.
    At least I have more room in the garage now
