I took apart the tilt and trim assembly and rebuilt everything inside and out. \u00a0It took a while for the first one because I was still learning. \u00a0The next one was very easy. \u00a0I can’t believe how much boat mechanics charge to do this. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I changed the anodes. \u00a0Anodes protect the engines internal water passages from corrosion. \u00a0Basically these zincs are made to corrode first before the motor corrodes. \u00a0In this case, the anode worked so hard that it corroded and fell off inside the motor. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

See it in there? \u00a0I had to dig it out and luckily it came out. \u00a0A lot of boaters don’t know about internal anodes so a few change it regularly. \u00a0They call this the silent killer. \u00a0It’s like cancer. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I replaced all 6 anodes so the cancer is gone for now. \"\"<\/p>\n

This morning, I had one of the biggest challenges of my boating life. \u00a0I was parked really far up a dead end street. \u00a0The street was too narrow to turn my boat around so I had to reverse it for a long 1km out of that street. \u00a0It was extremely hard and very crazy!!! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Driving a big trailer like this takes up the entire lane. \u00a0There were many times I scared a lot of drivers. \u00a0I was just looking back and admiring the shine. \u00a0Haha. \"\"<\/p>\n

Mayuki is back home where she belongs. \u00a0I’m so excited! \u00a0After this, I had to take the trailer back to Waianae. \u00a0That was another crazy drive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
