Well last saturday afternoon I decided to get the boat ready and go fishing so I spent the whole day going over the boat, charging the batteries, vacuming, fresh gas plugs etc...I put it in the water...turn the key...the engine starts first crank...awesome...reverse out start to go in a circle, switch to forward and turn the turn the wtf??? the wheel wont turn...(why didnt IU think to turn the wheel too??? grrr..) now I am floating around the dock...removed the steering cable...no easy chore...its ok...the freeze up is in the rear...ok...remove the linkage from the motor...NOT EASY TO DO HANGING OVER THE WATER.......turns out the steering cylinder is froze....
so in true McGuyver fashiopn I thied the front of the boat tight and close to the dock tied the rear of the boat loosley to the dock with the rope around the stuck linkage..., put the boat in forward gear and played up the throttle......water coming over the back more throttle more water...then pop...it freed up....
took about 3 1/2 hours to get'r done so it was gettting to dark to fish....
Sunday was screwed so no fishing...but the sun is out right now!!! and I think I can get out of here and try it again...lol...!!!
Some fush story ;/
