Project Carlson CVX-18- Mounting the engine and other odds and ends

[@Dtdunlap17]

Glad to see you making more videos! Me favorite project you did was the 1995 sea ray 220!! I also want to see more of your big cruiser! This boat is also coming along good!

[@windyboy78]

Really enjoy your videos Jay! You are a great teacher, and give great detail! look forward to seeing more of the Carlson! Cheers from New Zealand!

You can't believe how long I have been waiting for this.

[@harryhefner9785]

Glad your back.... Awesome video!

I also use 5200 on my boat. Recently, I found one of my lag bolts had been screwed into a soft piece of wood on my garage door springs and was constantly working it's way loose. Not having any 5200 available, I used my Goop glue and it has held great! Goop is also a lot cheaper than the 5200 and more readily available at the hardware stores. I'll still use 5200 below the water line though.

Try putting tire shine on the trailer bunks. We do that while transferring seadoos from cradles to trailers. Just make sure you're good and strapped down when you go to splash it.

[@maytexas38]

Looking Good!!!!

[@00Spidy00]

Great project !! i see from Spain. One question, how did you pay for the boat? Good job!!

[@MrJp318]

Jay, great videos, learn allot from your projects. Im going to throw my 2 cents in. I was always told that your battery should be in a battery box or the battery connections be covered in some manner. Any metal or metal like object can touch the positive side of the battery and create a fire. Do you cover your battery or terminals?

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

MrJp318 Ther terminals are covered with little boots. A better box is great, but boots work just as good.

[@bajadan2769]

thats a badass boat !

[@jjflounder1]

Is the Carlson done ? I like to see it in the water.... I have a 1967 Glastron .,.... no where as nice looking

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

James L It will be done this Spring

[@jjflounder1]

Looking forward to seeing it .,.. Going to try to sand and buff mine out this spring..,. Spring seams a long way off here in CT Thanks for videos .. I've learned a lot from them

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

James L Glad I can help. I just wish I could make more.

[@Turtle_1976]

Did you give up on finishing the Carlson?

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

Brian Popilek No sir, just been too dang hot and I lost some motivation.

[@joemartinez21024]

What kind of resin do you use I'm bout to start rebuilding my 1974 glastron v-178 I've never rebuild a boat and can you send me a list of material I need thanks in advance for your help

[@brianmcguire1111]

Can you start a boat without a outdrive unit

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

Brian McGuire You have to make sure the water is hooked to the inlet hose

[@cliffjamerson3107]

I thought I was the only one who broke stuff

[@WPowell420]

Instead of trying to use water to help the hull slide, consider using silicone spray. Just jack up each side and spray the bunks. www.homedepot.com/p/Blaster-11-oz-Dry-Lube-Silicone-Lubricant-16-SL/202529794

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

Good idea

[@WreckDiver99]

No, no, no Jay. USCG No longer allows the use of wingnuts on your battery terminals. I got burned by that by both my insurance company and my USCG inspection. They now request the use of Nylon Lock nuts.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

I will need to do some research on this.

[@WreckDiver99]

FriscoBoater correction...no longer ABYC compliant, but our USCG up here said the same thing and the insurance company made us change them out as well. We even had to take pictures to show them we used nylon lock or used an lock washer system (which they said they were not keen on so I went with nylon lock nuts).

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

That is interesting. I wonder is Nylock wing buts would be ok... is it just the non locking issue.

[@WreckDiver99]

FriscoBoater I honestly don't know. We ran into this a few years ago when we bought our first boat. It had wing nuts and all three insurance companies we got quotes from requested certain pictures of the boat, or a formal survey to be run. The pictures they requested were Fuel Tank and hoses, Engine and hosing (they were looking for double clamps on the hoses), bilge area, batteries, and 4 pics from outside (Bow/Stern/Port/Starboard), oh and the canvas (probably due to cost of replacing if damaged). All three said "The wing nuts must go or we won't insure you". We had a USCG Inspection (they do them free once per year up here), and they nailed about 10 boats with wing nuts on and said "gotta go, no longer allowed". Not a big deal, but with people pulling batteries at the end of the season the wing nuts made the job a bit easier, especially for the 3 or 4 mechanics we have up here that do a few hundred winterizations per year.

[@tjs_welding_and_fabrication]

If you send me those pipes i can cut them and tig weld them back together to where you want them. Or you cut them and i will weld them. You just pay shipping. I will video it of course.

[@TheBCNetwork]

Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Junior Johnson?

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

TheBCNetwork LOl... No... thats a first

[@TheBCNetwork]

Well I think you do and I also see that you have technical skills similar to his. By the way, I enjoy your videos and I am learning too. All the best to you and with your endeavors.

[@p_versus_p2547]

Why put Mounting the engine in the title if its already in?? we want to learn not listen to you brag about ur boat

[@vladipful]

This is just wat I was waiting for....Thanx Jay
