    Bearing damage

    I've slowed up the last few years, have 5 planned for this year. I used to make 8 to 10. It doesn't cost much to full complement a bearing just need a few extra balls.

    Bearing damage

    Way back 40 years or so ago all our bearings were brass caged and they let go a lot. A major mfr claimed they start to skid around 16 thou RPM. About that time Skip Horstman taught me how to full complement bearings. Not only are they bullet proof, but last for ever if properly lubed.

    Shaft Oiler or Grease?

    You can find Mystic products on Amazon. The packaging has changed (now red, mine is black and green). What you are looking for is multi-purpose grease NLGI No. 2. Also the stuff I have looks like amber vaseline. I hope this helps. This is pretty much what happens when old farts like me are still...

    Shaft Oiler or Grease?

    As I said in my post. For the last 20 years or so I have used oilers mainly because I am LAZY. I have had boats raced and put up for up to 3 years and never removed the shaft. I used to run a lawn service with my son and purchased Mystic JT-6 from a commercial lawnmower dealer to grease the...

    Shaft Oiler or Grease?

    Never tried Rislone in an oiler, but it is an excellent after run oil for nitro engines.

    Shaft Oiler or Grease?

    I've been using oilers for more than 20 years. Before that I have probably tried every grease product known to man. Mystic JT-6 is, in my opinion, the undisputed best. Even on a shaft you think has gone dry, run the length of it between your fingers and they will come out slicker than snot. I...

    21 beta

    You might want to re-consider a bowl volume of 17-19 cc. Last I checked the total displacement of a 21 is 3.5cc.

    Sponson building.

    I've been using Kledgecel for about 40 years and was told by the Mfr that you SHOULD NOT hot wire it as it gives off cyanide gas. Don't know about Divinicel as I still have a large quantity of the other left.

    Mini V8

    I thought about getting a Toyan 28cc V8 and putting it in my cracker box as a lark. Would make for a pretty expensive (somewhat useless) toy. Maybe entertain the grand kids here at the lake.

    3/16 shaft

    Many, many years ago I watched Gene Taylor remove a stuffing box tube using a car battery and jumper cables. Took less than 10 seconds to turn red and practically fell out. Scary!
