A few months back I suggested that this site needed a FAQ. SO... rather than whine and not do anything about it I decided to try to start a Correct Craft Fan Frequently Asked Questions thread. There are so many worthy candidates for FAQ's. Please post links here or email me with FAQ suggestions. I'll start with the infamous "Pete's alignment video". http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21279&title=shaft-strut-alignment-video" rel="nofollow - Alignment Video http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38288&title=boat-maintenance-videos-tanis-alignment-etc" rel="nofollow - How-to video of shaft alignment - note: align shaft in strut first!

Removing hardware, old staples, cutting patterns, sewing, stretching, stapling again, etc. Factoring in my time, even at $15.00 an hour, plus materials I was in close to $200.00. In comparison, it costs about $400 for a professional sundeck skin, plus you get foam backed vinyl and fabric sealed seams* from a professional and they eat the costs if there is an error. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Nice work so far... just a suggestion - if you want it to remain very useful self moderate your own thread. We (people like me) tend to ugly up these threads very quickly - but you now own the first 5 posts or so. So if something else good is suggested and you agree with it, go back and edit one of the first posts to include it. In that way you could keep a good up to date list right at the front. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

| I have encountered a problem that I have never heard of! I need to replace the rear main seal in the PCM 1.23:1 trans in my 2002 Ski Nautique. I have removed the retaining nut and washer that holds the output flange to the tailshaft, but the flange will not budge. I have destroyed a harmonic balancer puller trying to remove the flange. I rigged up a heavier puller using 1/4 inch steel bar stock, but all I succeeded in doing was bending the steel around the flange. I am assuming that this is the result of overheating due to lost fluid. With this in mind, I am going to pull the trans and probably go ahead and replace clutches and seals. However, I am wondering if the shaft bearing is damaged, although the boat was still pulling strong with no telltale noises. I might want to replace the output flange too, after all the force I have subjected it to trying to remove it. Has anyone else experienced a stuck output flange? |

You'll get more response on this question if you start a new thread... There are some good trans guys on this site. You might be money ahead to send it out if you are unfamiliar with the process. |

Will, Just under the section heading, you will see the "new topic" icon to click on. When you get the coupling half off the trans, make sure you check to make sure the face isn't bent from your pulling it. I suggest chucking it up in the lathe and taking the dial indicator to it. Personally, I'd ship the trans up to http://fantasticfinishmarine.net/" rel="nofollow - Fantastic Finish Marine . They aren't as simple as just throwing a clutch pack and seal kit in for a rebuild. One of our top members here Eric used to own FFM. He's gone onto other things and has sold FFM to his right hand man Vince. Eric taught Vince everything he knows about marine trans's. Eric has rebuilt/fixed them when other "pros" have failed. I remember one thread where the "pro" tried twice!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't see that icon earlier (although my wife would not be surprised)! I didn't know Eric was gone--I guess he won't be replying to the message I left for him yesterday! Yes, it has been a while since I have done any trans work, unless you count rebuilding the hydrostatic transaxle on my old John Deere lawn tractor a couple of years ago.. Thanks so much for the tips! |

Stuck Prop - Links - Upgrading my old OJ 4 blade to a refurbished Acme 380. I tried once to remove and it was stuck like a duck in the muck. Did some searching on here and found these two links: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18127&PN=2 - Stuck Prop 1 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3138 - Stuck Prop 2 To add my two cents. I used a regular prop puller and propane torch to heat the hub and it worked fine. I also kept a cup full of ice cubes next to me and placed them just aft the strut to keep the shaft cool and from damaging the strut bearing. Took a couple of minutes before the gun went off. *Let me know if this has been covered or does not belong in the FAQ section. |

Done Rain Dog. Good addition. I've been thinking about organizing this FAQ in some way, but it would be a ton of work. I'd like to create "sections" so it is easy for people to search. One section on Structure (stringer, gel coat work), another on Engines, one on regular Maintenance, one on Other stuff. I'm not sure how to do that without tearing down the FAQ and building it back up from scratch. Any thoughts or helpful advice? ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

I use benzworld.org for my older car just like one might use CCF. They have forums organized with "sticky" threads about procedures broken down by makes, models, and years. It's obviously way more detailed than what we need but it gives you lots of ideas for structure. Suggestion for dealing with logistics of building new threads would be leave current as is for now…… just construct new thread offline when finished just replace old with new. Hope it helps |

| Longtime reader here, first time posting. I've got a 1980SN that's got heavy oxidation. The stripping and lettering down the sides of the boat are 'raised' in the sense that I can run my hand over them and it isn't completely smooth. If I wet sand, do I run the risk of removing/damaging the SN lettering? Or is the wet sanding light enough that it will not do harm? |

Matt, First, welcome to CCfan. Great to always get new members. Pictures are also welcomed. Before you do anything, undersatnde the hull side graphics are paint so chanches are very good they will not make it through a wet sanding and buff. Get a full size tracing of the graphics so a sign shop can scan the tracing and make a paint mask then you will be ready for new paint. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks for the feedback and glad I didn't start the sanding. I've added pictures of the boat. When you say 'paint mask' can you elaborate?

Matt, Some call the paint mask stencils. The sign shop will scan your tracing, clean it up on their computer and then cut the mask out of a special vinyl. It's the "negative" of how they would cut out say a letter. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
