Working on the Tinnie

Hey Chops.
You should be doing a little less working on your tinnie and a little more relaxing around the campfire with your friends.

There is no better way to gain friends than having a working boat.

Ahhhh! I see.
So, Andy and Chops have no friends. They are busily getting some. Or, trying to.

Once our boats are going we will be able to offer free rides on a boogie board dragged thru shark infested waters(they are getting scarce in WA!!).I even have some good berley to make the ride even more interesting.

Needed one word removed. Just in the interests of accuracy.

And I have one of those bannana thingies to tow behind mine too

Although I suspect Mick, and others, will have to have been stuck into the plonk hard to get on the back of it

Gorrilla tape will secure even the biggest in the mob

Well, on the way home I called into the boat shop and picked up the new pump. A bit of confusion as mines an old motor.
So I cleaned up all the surfaces properly, and fitted up the new unit. A bit tricky to get the impeller to feed in right to the pump housing, as in working out the right way. Glad I had the old one to help guide me in the right direction, (I think

)
So all bolted in, and now bolted back up to the boat. I'm hoping the weekend will see me imerse it in water,,,, then I'll know if I did it right

You'll notice on the old impeller, its been sitting incorectly in the housing. One of the blades actually faces the wrong way. Not sure if it would run like this, or if it just happens when the motor stops sometimes, then goes right when started again. Either way, I'm guessing it would be an issue

Also suspect the old unit to be an after market job and not genuine. Theres a black coating of what looks to be paint on the inside of the cup

Anyway, get some new fuel, check the plugs etc, and I'll see how she goes

Almost there
