That's the number 1 cause of gaskets going, hoses cracking etc. I know in
many cases it's unavoidable. Your area has pretty harsh temp extremes too, doesn't it? Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... Yes. Why? -- Public Fishing & Boating Forums Fishing & Boating Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com "go-bassn" wrote in message ... You store your boat outdoors Bob? Warren "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... Fortunately it only took a couple minutes. The piston has very minor spatter marks. Looks like it has been getting a little bit of water for quite some time. It was very clean, but fortunately no rust. The gasket just picked now to completely give up. The gasket is definitely blown the metal rim was gone for over and inch, and a small piece of the fiber was missing directly into one of the water ports. Even better news. The cylinders have no discernable ridge. I didn't mic it as I don't have an inside micrometer, but doing the finger nail test I could not feel anything at all. I think this motor has very very few hours on it. Cool deal. Sounds rebuildable to me.

Yeah sometimes 40 degrees change from night to day. I've been trying to
figure out how I could get the boats in and out of my side yard where I could reasonably put up a shade, but its tough. I may have to break down and buy one of those electric trailer movers in order to do it. -- Public Fishing & Boating Forums Fishing & Boating Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

Darn, those things are a pretty penny too. My new home's garage doesn't
quite make the grade on my boat, plus I figure to be in a 21 or 22 footer next. I'm gonna have a contacter do a bumpout so that it's 35 deep, and switch the two 8' doors for one giant one. The thought of storing my boat outside for an extended period makes me cringe. Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... Yeah sometimes 40 degrees change from night to day.

Just for the record... if you store your boat inside a heated and cooled
garage, isn't the temperature difference more extreme when you pull the boat outside? Seem like if the boat is stored outside, then it will adapt easier to the temperature changes over a period of time, instead of an abrupt change all at once. Don't ya think?

In your scenario Charles, would a boat cover be used or one of those
car/boat port thingies with the fabric roof and sides? Condensation happens almost every night but not in a garage. Carpet and plywood interfaces is what would concern me and dry rot. Gasoline, gasoline tanks, instruments, electrical connections plastic/lexan windshields, red paint jobs, gelcoats, rubbers, gaslines, (ozone damage) would benefit greatly when stored indoors. -- Stony "Charles Summers" wrote in message ...
