Now This Is Wot Ewe Call Service Options

[Jumpus GooDarus]

How many of ewes get this type of service ???????

Mentioned it around xmas time that my new Black Anchor which is bigger than Bees wittle wun gave me sum grief

Not having te tools required I said the alternator had shat itself, well I wasn't that wrong wot had happened was the 100 amp fuse wire coming from the alternator shat itself thus making the alternator useless by not charging the bateries so I was sorta correct.

Anyways being xmas knew there was a fat chance of getting it fix till the 18th of this month cause the place I purchased motor from was shut till then.
Allthough I'm mates with chris from Sea Sea Marine& have his mobile no I didn't ling ling him cause I respect his privacy & new he was spending time with hs kids.

Luck saw him ling ling me early last week to say hurro & I menioned wot had happened to the Black Anchor

I was tlold he'd meet me @ the shop & to bring the goat over dropped it off last wednesday then I took off up to Pt Stephens after that to annoy Bees Knees

Got a call on thursday again from chris to let me know wot was wrong with the black anchor prob was Mercury had no replacement stock of the fuse wire untill the 19t of this month so Chris went to he trouble of adapting a makeshift fuse wire taken from another motor so as I could use the boat.

I got back from Pt Stephens late yesterday arvo & rang Chris's dad who lives local to the shop & he was kind enough to go open up the shop for me so as I could pick up the goat this arvo.

Now that's wot I call service

I dont usually give things like this a plug but thought this was worthy of wun & there's a couple on this site who'll vouch for the type of service I ge from Sea Sea.

Admitingly I've purchased quite a few outboards from Chris over the years & he may not allways be the cheapest mainly because he wont put a brand name on his doors & get dictated to by the various outboard Co's.

But he makes all that up if I want something done right away

[Fed]

Do you know what blew the fuse?
Was it from overload or a short circuit?
Where was the fuse, I only noticed the ones we looked at together?
Was the blown fuse the cause of the alarm beeps, did you ever find out what the code was?
Did the outboard guy think it could have caused the engine surging?

So many questions, so little time.
Good service from him anyway & I hope it all runs perfectly now, let the speed trial begin, where's Bees?

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Fed have ewe contracted Alsationist desease cause your memory ??

Well it's not working

100 amp fuse wire

Not a fuse

cause of the alarm beeps, did you ever find out what the code was?

Exactly wot I said it was, very low charge in battery

Did the outboard guy think it could have caused the engine surging?

Wi Yu No Risten ??

Explained wot the surging was allready ! must be the Alsationist desease kicking in, how ewe noticed flea's under your arm pits ?? ewe wont find any on your shinny head

Surging was dead batteries, when I hooked up wun that had charge in it there was no surging

[Fed]

A 100 Amp fuse wire that is not a fuse and yet it blew.
Give me a break, do you ever read what you type, you're a nut job.
Remember the gizmo that was wired into the big red wire from the alternator with clear heatshrink over it?
I'm betting that is/was a fusable link, why did it blow, see if you can get your hands on the old one.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Fed ewe Wobbygong

Where was the fuse, I only noticed the ones we looked at together?

Ewe didn't even know wot a fuse wire/link was till I told ewe so dont try doing the smarty pantelona with me

Ewe said FUSE as in blade fuses cause thats wot we looked @ that day ewe came around

And no I still haven't lifted the cowl off to have a looky.

Didn't finish putting the floor back down on the big boat till late last night

Just about to head there now & clean up

[Fed]

Next time I see you I'll be wearing a wire to record everything you say, you're getting delusional.

Here's a hint, there's only one thing on the boat that will put out more than 100A it it's not the Alternator.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Dah !

Geez your clever Fed

Had a looky @ my old blown link yesterday new wun should arrive 2morro

Pretty stupid setup whn ewe think about it a circit breaker would've been a far better option but I guess Mercury couldn't make $$'s on them

Know wot caused it but I'm not tellin

Big goat goes in on Flyday want it spic & spam for this year's Marlin/YFT season going to rip the heads off the yam's whilst it's in to have a good looky looky


I'll also start a new theat in regars to a makeover on a witle 4.8 meter tinny I'm fixing up for Chris

[Fed]

I'm guessing Mercury didn't count on having a Jumpy in the equation.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Twas a sirry mistake on my behalve
Leads coming from the black anchor were to long so I cut them to required length slipped on black & red heatshink arse about B4 soldering eyelets back on

Never did I crank the motor over [it had no oil in it]

New sumting was amiss when tilt switch was working back to front on motor [reverse polarbeararity]
THat was an easy fix traced back the cables & found the error & just slid larger heatshrink over the existing so as there would be no confuciousaring in the future

Thought nutting of it @ the time & even when battery power was diminishing I went through checked the bank of fuses missed the fused link cause I didn't know it twas there mainly because it was shielded by a cover

All should be GooDarus now & I can do sum Black Anchoring

[Bees Knees]

I'm guessing Mercury didn't count on having a Jumpy in the equation.

hahahahaha... Go for it Fed... That will get Jumpy's back up.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

[Fed]

Get your diodes tested mate.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Must be getting old me tinks took it out of me yesterday

Tinks it was all that glare coming off the water esp when ewe took your hat off Fed

Twas a case of Manfred Mann Blinded By The Light

Better pull my finger out & go hook up the goat

[Fed]

4 stroke heads won't be a cheap exercise.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Dont think there'll be anything wrong with mine only ripping them off to have a looky

Rather do it now than down the track when I start using the goat

Dropped off the goat this morn but the heat got to me so I came home to cool off

Duck [quack quack] down later this arvo to get in the way & have a sticky beak when temp drops a bit
My face is burning from yesterday

[Fed]

I had my hat on all day but my nose copped it going back up the river.

[poly]

how much work have the yammy's done Jumpus ?????????????????????????????


Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Dont really know poly

Wasn't in the market for them when I'd bought them only just finished doing up my old 2 strokes back when I'd rebuilt my old blue platey.

Walked into Sea Sea & they were sitting there only just arrived a few days earlier, they were 18 months old @ the time.

Next thing ewe know they found themselves on the back of my goat dont know how that happpened

The price was right & they comoned down I guess

I've had them 4 years now & they've copped a bit of stick from me esp with all the many trips out wide chasing the YFT

Was talking to chris the other day just to book them in for a service & he suggested we rip the heads off to have a looky, I was happy to do that cause they hadn't been run for 5 months whilst I was playing around building the wittle herd of goats.

Wun of them was playing up on me so rather than go back & forth trying to solve the prob opted to do a semi rebuild

[poly]

yep that makes good sense, it will be interesting to see what they find, I am also interested to see how the new merc go's on fuel and noise as i have herd they are quit noisy compered to other brands of 4stroke but are better on fuel.

Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Paul

Dont believe everything ewe hear poly

I can assure ewe my black anchor is every bit as quiet as the Yams, In fact I've done a boo boo @ least twice so far not realising I hadn't switched it off & cranked it over whilst motor was still running. Fuel wise ??

Hard to tell yet cause it's either going flat stick or idling along doing 1000 rpm.

Did finally top up the tank last week 4 the 1st time to full capacity added 130 litres to wot I thought was another additional 30 - 40 litres in the tank.

Tank is alot bigger than I restimated

[poly]

sorry jumpus, when asking about noise it is at W.O.T. were they seem to be at there worst and as for fuel you may be best putting 40 or 50 hours on it to loosen it up a bit and get a good average for a days fishing.

Paul

[Fed]

You thinking about an upgrade Poly?

[quintrex101]

i wouldnt mind upgrading myself .. Tho i have been thinking about it .. 5 meters would be ideal i reakon

[Jumpus GooDarus]

You thinking about an upgrade Poly?

Yeah Fed !

Heard poly has been looking @ Alloy Goats

[poly]

You thinking about an upgrade Poly?

yep when i retire Fed, a 5.3 cc with either a 100 or 115hp 4stroke, if I can afford it that is.

http://www.polycraft.com.au/530_centre_console.php

the other chose would be a 4.8 cc with an 80 or 75hp only time will tell

Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Saw wun of them today

If ewe know any crims I can get the address 4 ewe why wait till ewe retire

[poly]

that's easy mate to much money sitting on the lawn going no were and not getting used enough.

if I am luck i may get the boat down the coast once every 3 months, so I content myself fishing the lake here. the buggers wont let me use the yammy so its all done with the lecky, and a 5.3 would be to big to fish here in Canberra

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Couldn't pick it @ 1st

Didn't look to bad driving up to it as it was white

When ever I see a yellow or Blue wun I dont like them @ all they show every mark, swirl etc etc & look PLASTIC

White hides alot

[poly]

Yep white hide's a lot, but its not much fun, I like the yellow its very easy to look after if i do scratch it up, all I need do is get the heat gun out and worm up the damaged part of the hull give it a quick rub and its as good as new, and as for looking like plastic who cares it is plastic.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I was out @ a mates workshop 2day using the press

When I got back I discovered I had 4 Shinny Heads, 3 more than Fed

My Yamms were stripped & all was GooDarus but like I said better to have a looky.

There's sacrificial anodes inside the Yam heads & nothing was left of them or velly little so guess it was a wise move to rip them off.

My blocks are still clean as & was told the model B4 my Yams had a bit of a corrosion issue cause the annodes used in previous models wasn't doing their job & instead of the anodes sacrificing themselves twas the block that started corroding.

Still going to send the injectors out etc etc so prob next week B4 goat is back on the water

[poly]

well that is good to hear jumpus and thanks for the heads up about the anodes in the head, I have no idea if the 40 has them or not but I will be finding out.
Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Paul

Yep Yep ewe'll have them & cause is the later model motor ewe'll have the decent anodes if I remember the camera 2morro I''l take a pic of them

Happy that all's well in the donks now just have to nut out why I'm losing revs up top, have a funny feeling the fuel canister in motor that's playing up has got contamination in it.

Open them up 2morro & have a looky
