I am looking at a new boat, only problem is the motor has the skeg broken off. Anyone have any idean how much it would cost me to fix something like this?
I saw a one thing I didn't like about that. He was working on a metal table, and grounding though the table. Whenever I have to work on something with precision gears and bearings in it, be it a marine gearcase, or automotive transmission, I drop a piece of plywood on the table, and pull out a good quality ground clamp. Reason being, when grounding through the table like that, the full current is running through the gears and bearings, which isn't the best for them. When working over the wooden table, the ground clamp is placed as near to the work as possible, to avoid as much current running through the gears and bearings as possible. Even if I hooked up the ground clamp, but worked on a metal table, chances are some stray current is going to start finding it's way around anyway, hence the reason for the wood.KRS62 said:Here is an example on the work needed:
