Anyone deal with boats?

I think this is the right place...technically a boat is a vehicle yes? lol...if not..someone kindly move it to the proper spot please.

Anyhow..



As the title says..anyone deal with boats? I may be in need of a part for a boat an figured I'd check with my fellow SMF'ers to see if anyone deals with boats and/or their parts. Would prefer to work with forum folks.

So if so..say so, so I know who to bug when I know if the part I need is what I need...LOL.


An..if not..someone needs to make this niche their own.

Thanks!

Sirscrapalot - Setting sail on a 4 hour cruise

I can later. Not next to the boat right now. Will be tho in a few, so will try an get one then.

Sirscrapalot - Fresh off the boat..kind of.

I have an oar...

lol..thanks but..don't need an oar or a dinghy.

It's a tilt trim pump. Raises an lowers the motor. I was told folks familiar with boats would know the part. Bleh. I'm trying to help a buddy find one used, as a new one is rather costly.

I'll try an get another photo later but having issues with my phone an the sim card. So it's not saving photos or anything else at the moment.

Thanks..even for the jokes!

Sirscrapalot - Is about to ship you all out to sea.

Tilt trim pump....is that a small hydraulic pump powered by a 12V electric motor?

Kinda like a snowplow lift pump?

Does it have any valves built onto the pump?

I'm asking the questions because you might find something similiar but not for boats because anything for a "play toy" (like boats) is expensive. Check with Northern tool or Surplus Center once you know roughly what kind of pump you need.

Jon.

Looks similar to this. I'll grab the info on it tomorrow when I go by again.



I'll pass it on about looking at those two places you mentioned. I figured I'd give it a go in the scrap world, he can do any online ordering stuff like that.

Appreciate the help an even the jokes!

Sirscrapalot - One man's trash is another man's treasure.

When I say similar..I mean black, an the general shape. LOL.

An Saw, yes..if I'm thinking of what your talking about on a snowplow..similar to that but for a boat, no clue if it makes a difference. It's a nice boat. Not super fancy, but not a dinghy or john boat either.

As I said above I'll get the info off the part an see if that helps. I'm not doing the best job in the world describing it. LOL.

Anyhow again thanks for the help all!

Sirscrapalot - Rub a dub dub.

Any watchamacallits? I'm fresh out of those to.

Your to quiet lately KZ.

I think we need to spike your drinks again.

Sirscrapalot - KZ is rarer then a unicorn lately.

Will do Mike. Once I have all that info your asking for.

I should've known better an had it ready, but..why make it easy on you guys? or myself for that matter..ha!

As always, my thanks!

Sirscrapalot - No, you can't eat the cat! - Willie Tanner to Alf at some point I'm sure.

You help me fix my TIME MACHINE and I will help you fix your boat for FREE.

I have pumps like that but I won't be able to get at them until the future.

Now if I could just get my Time Machine working properly, I could go and get the parts from the future and then come back with them.

I have no problem traveling into the past, but I can't get it to travel into the future much more then a few hours so far.

Been working on it for years making it out of spare parts and such.

Whats it powered by you may wonder?

It's powered by Fabaceae Alternating Rumbling Technology.

A bit like Doc Browns DeLorean DCM 12 without the bucket seats...

I do enjoy my TIME travel even tho it's a short trip most times.

If I can just raise the octane level a bit I might have it.

Tried some good shine and it blew out a gasket.

Time machines aren't my niche. You'll have to talk to the Ninja.

Pirates = Boats

Ninja's = all that other weird stuff.

I always found the concepts of time travel interesting. I'm not a "space cadet" in that I have never been much on the fantasy and fictional reality that seems very popular.

I have always preferred a solid foundation from which to build on. I like putting plenty of thought into most all that I do in my day to day Life.

I realise that it's tough for those that take the "Al Bundy route" or the super star route where you don't have much TIME for yourself.

I have always greatly enjoyed my space as I like being as comfortable as is possible in a real world.

When you are your own best friend it has it's down side as well as it's advantages.

Here is a favorite little diddy of mine:

sometimes I sleep a little
sometimes I sleep a lot

sometimes I work a little
sometimes I work a lot

but in the end it all evens out.

It has to do with having the correct "buffer zone" that works for you without blowing up the planet.

I Live in the Land O Lakes so I have had many boats and such over the many years. Not much for boats around here now, but as for the small parts for them and engine parts and such, yep got it.

Imangne the room in the Indiana Jones movie where they take the crated Ark of the covenant and wheel it into a warehouse that has crates everywhere piled high and wide.

My place is a bit like that but not as organized.

it works for me and my dog anyway...

Hope you find your boat part as a quality pump ain't easy to find at a bargain.

I had a buddy that thought he would save some money when the fuel pump on his Suzuki side kick went bad. He ordered one after the other of the cheap pumps off eBay that claim they will fit. He spent more on that then he would of if he had just bought a quality pump that was made for the vehicle. He even had to buy a couple used gas tanks and such at the repairable yards as he would cut the tops up trying to get the pumps he would buy to fit.I have the cut up tanks and cheap pumps laying around here somewhere,lol...
