Any one have any information on methods, techniques,training in small vessel salvage. Found some info on the inter-net, but did not find any thing on training classes. Seems that the guys that do salvage are ex-CG or Navy/millitary and recieved their training there. Have not found anything in...

John,I have had my single F-150 run a little rough when being returned to 600-700 rpm's just before going into neutral once in neutral it idles fine.It will do it and almost sound like its stumbling and ready to fall on its face,but never stalls and no indication on the tach of fluctuating...

Last season I put 150 hours on our F-150 and would use the flush connection ,while running the engine at idle for five to ten minutes each time we came home. At the end of the season replaced the water pump , and found the impeller and housing in perfect condition. I'm not rewriting the owners...

Outstanding, glad to hear it worked out smoothly.

I guess the only way it relates is that we are all parker owners and we are doing a little bonding, no offence intended. We firemen love our police officers. During the LA riots most fire companys had a PD escort because we were being shot at, we appriciate the PD every day. Dave, most firemen...

SALT SHAKER, let us know what you end up doing and how it works out for you. I completed my actuator replacement and every thing is back to normal, I did notice when I took the old actuator apart that the electric motor inside had rust and corrosion on it , possibly from the two seals that are...

Take a look at lencos web site. There is diagram of an actuator it will give you a general idea. The top has two nuts on top, you remove those first. Then pop off the top with a screw driver, placing the screw driver thru the mounting holes and start pulling the top off. Once the top is off...

The FD has a saying also, all police officers have one thing in common, they all want to be firemen.

Great photos , is that what you had when the first co's arrived? Did it progress to the second? Were you on the truck or engine ????

Hopefully the truck co. make off the roof o.k. Looks like the truckies had a little work there.

Finally pulled out the old tab and wires, pulled the new stuff thru,bedded it with 4200 and started making the spices. Later on I spoke with a friend that has worked with lenco tabs before and says there is a short cut to replacing the actuators , just put the top and put on the new one. He goes...

Called lenco this morning , and was told that the top is sealed and not to be opened. I have 2 spare actuators from a prior project and ready to replace the starboard side. I just wish the wire was a little more accessable in the spot where it comes thru the transom, there is no way I can get my...

While doing monday checks on the parker,I found that the starboard tab would not operate. Port side is O.K. I figure it is either the switch or the actuator ,I'll switch leads to determine if it is the switch.I think it may be the actuator because of rust around the base near the tab coming...

Good luck with the new hip, yikes, did'nt expect that at all. That is one serious winter project.

Lock-tite makes a marine anti-sieze that is metal free,it can be found at grainger.

Finally the key was dislodged with a small punch and a firm rap with a hammer. Water pump maintance complete, thanks all for the suggestions.

I'm going to let it soak over night, and if the tap-tap does'nt do it the grinder will be next. Thanks for the ideas, its time for a barley pop.

Thanks for the reply, I've been working on that key for an hour now, I'll walk away and let it soak for awhile.I'm tempted to escalate that tap-tap with small hammer to a bam-bam with a single jack. I'll let you know what I break,hopefully I don't push that drive shaft down thru the bottom of...

Help...half-moon key stuck on drive shaft,I'm hesitant about using heat because of the seals.....any ideas. The motor is a yamaha F-150. Last water pump service was done by a yamaha tech one year ago, 150 hours.
