Todd the Mechanic

My winterize barrel of antifreeze invention - ballast pump so I can push and pull antifreeze with a fluid counter to keep track of the litres used - whipped it up from mostly stuff kicking around the shop - patent pending

Got a call from a customer that needed both bearings and seals done on his utility trailer - 2 hrs and he was back on the road

Was busy all week making sure every boat is good to go - I also do repairs on the dock at your boat slip - today I put a new master kill switch and a new bilge pump in an Azure 22ft bow rider with a 6.2L merc - shoulda took pics of it but I was too busy working and forgot 🤷

This 1996 larson needed some TLC - came in not running very good - had the wrong spark plugs in it + wrong plug seals on the leg - might need a leg re-seal - oil looked like dutchmen dairy choc milk - customer is gonna do a lake test this week and get back to me on the results

Been busy this week with this 2011 wakesetter with a 6.0L - this boat has a history that you wouldn't believe and had seen some terrible work by some other technicians - they left the housing to the old bilge pump in the bilge - put 24" spark plug wires on it when it needed 6" wires -they mangled the ends that go on the plugs - oil was so thick it almost lit my oil pump on fire - impeller was nuked - checked the codes - overheat 🤔 probably needs an impeller - gonna do a lake test this week - see how it goes - update: lake test went good 5200rpm -66km/h - no bogging

Got him all ready for ocean fishing - strainers on the live well pumps and a new impeller in the leg - went through the boat and made sure everything was working

We got a week of hot weather here in Sicamous coming up - gettin everybody ready for the lake - I'm like a boat soldier - nobody gets left behind - your all going in the drink!!!🤣
