You have a very clever Pop there Tsubaki. Lightweight, portable and adding the spigot to it was probably the right thing to do so you would not be running all the exhaust filled water back through the cooling system.

be very very careful with the larger motor in the barrel, if you don't keep the hose running the whole time in the barrel you will over heat your motor and loose water out other places and cause lower water to the pump as well. exhaust will heat the water and cause the over heating plus the fact the water is reused threw the motor.

Default Giraffe


We're moving two of the boats to the other side of the yard under another shelter, I hope this will prevent my sister from backing into the tongue's whenever she visits. Yes it is silly looking.

Daddy had been placing a 5 gallon bucket over the tongue's to act as a bumper for shin protection during the possibility of an intoxicated event, the Giraffe's should act as double duty.

Great thread.

MJ, I am going to build me an oil catcher w hose like you made. Not only will it get all the oil\sludge\crap out, it will be cheaper than buying a pump!

For aligning up the trailer hitch to the trailer, I had bought alignment poles like these:

I think I have also seen them at auto zone or walmart. Save's me getting in and out of the truck to see if its aligned, or even better yet: trying to understand directions from my wife.

Even without these, I would opt to do it by myself.

I had a par of them poles, I still didn't like them. But I have gotten pretty good at backing up so i don't have to much of a issue there.
I am thinking of getting a slip for this year?? We shall see
