Am I the only one that is less creative and uses a cheery picker?



Got of those too... That is usually the best and safest way to go but sometime you just don't have enough reach or height with one of those.

I can't use the cherry pickers hardly at all because when I lower the back of the boat so the motor will come over the transom, the picker leg's won't go under the trailer, and to extend the lift beam only is likely to tilt forward. I trust my old chain hoist.

yea, this is how I got around that. Not a real smart idea either but works. Anyway, I'll stop hi-jacking your thread now.

Well the engine isn't the only thing that we had to remove.  Today the trailer got a new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, and some new brake lines.  I guess I'll actually be able to stop it with the Tacoma now.  I forgot to mention that the transom, stringers and floor got Reds blessing as not needing to be replaced. Whew..... now I can direct more funds towards the engine and drive....

Since this is "Just a Teaser", I assume you're not going to share the big picture of the plan with us yet Barb?  Sounding very interesting already though.......
Going for a freshen-up and slight warming of HP, or full out SCREAMER motor?

Hey Mark, the first time I met Barb was at a boat show here in Okc, I didn't really get to check her boat out before she got it in the lake, and I heard her fire that baby up and take off across the lake, something in me pushed away from the dock and I took out after her in Red's Gold,  I passed her up and gave her a wave.  When we got back to the park, she came up to me and ask what kinda motor I had in my boat, I told her, and she ask if I could build another one just like it, and of course I said yes, and give her a price, but then I told her I would sell her the motor that just passed her up, and I'd finish the stroker I was building for my boat, and she took me up on it, but here's the serious part ... she told me that she didn't like me passing her up like I did, and that she didn't want that to happen again, well, as much as she is trying to be responsible, be conservitive, regardless of what she tell Kat, I can tell, she can't walk past this other vortec sitting in my garage with-out focusing her attention to it, and she's already said she can hear it say "build me" every time she passes by it.  Barb is going to turning the wrench's on this build, for the most part, I'll be twisting the head bolts, rods and mains probably, but she's going to get her first build under her belt by spring for sure, and it's a pretty sure bet that I'll be putting the motor out of "Hot Knots" into the sprint project ... just a speculation on my part ya know, no promise's

Thanks for the insight/speculation Red, I thought I remembered you having the extra motor in the shop.  But with the number of projects you guys crank out, it's hard to keep up!  I'm sure Barb will make a great student in the motor building class, she's got the "attention to detail" thing that's required down pat!  (Plus she'll have a great mentor.)

Good on ya for tackling those trailer brakes Barb, safety first!  That's NOT a fun job I know, but the peace of mind will make the payoff well worth the effort IMHO.

Sure hope we all get to make the Red Wing trip next year, I've got so many people I want to meet and so many G/C's I want to check out!  (I'd love to make the IA meet as well, but have to be realistic about the travel $ budget.)

I was wondering the same thing.
As far as the trailer brakes go... are they surge brakes? I assume they are. Any trouble locating a new master cylinder Red? I need to do the same thing. Brake cylinders and likely the master since I can not get it to pump up any presure.

Yes, they are surge brakes, it's an Atwood master cylinder, common, our trailer supply had everything right on the shelf.
You may be able to get pressure from your master cylinder by bleeding it first, I put the ball mount out of my truck into the hitch, used it for a handle,  disconnected the brake line off the master cylinder, pushed the hitch down, put my finger on the brake line fitting, lifted the hitch up, allowing suction to draw fluid into the piston cylinder, a couple times and fluid squirts out, then hook up the brake line and bleed the nearest brake cylinder first, then the other.

If you have the middle ground I must have the high ground. I don't have a cheery picker for my pickup but I do have a Bigger Picker.

Cherry picker for the 18, fork lift for the 20. I was a lot more comfortable with the picker. Either way, no casualties.

This one is for light lifting like outboards and the front of a trailer. It's a people lift to get handicapped people up out of bed.



This is for the heavy stuff.

Is anyone still interested in what the hoist might be lifting back into Hot Knots?
