I have a little piece of a 2x4 that is just small enough to fit through the hub opening for tapping them back on.
I tried to put in Monsoon on the Chickahominy River a few miles up river from Mark's place. Seems as though the full moon last night created the lowest of low tides at the exact moment I was trying to launch. It didn't go so well. Mark is able to use that ramp at any tide, but apparently not THIS low tide today. I had to pull it back up the ramp with the boat about 12" back on the trailer, and wait a couple hours.
One engine overheating. (simple fix)
Hit a stump yesterday with the Mini-Hawk. (wanted a new prop anywayz.)
And now a trailer cluster today.
I hope I'm finished with these "issues" for this season.

Guess I'll cut a piece of 2x4 tomorrow and stick it in my tool box.

The Chick goes a few miles further then Marks? How tight does that get. Other then those bass boats whipping by I don't know if I would want to venture to much further up past his house.
What size 2x4 should I cut for my tool box...... and even though I am going to get flamed for this... Does anyone want to point out any other tools I should be carrying?
Also:*Note to self buy a tool box*
Better ask and be safe then sorry later on.

1) IMPELLARS!! you can't ever have TOO many IMPELLARS
2) Belts always should have belts
3) set (maybe just one) cheap backup prop/s
4) Fluids..both for the engine/drives but more important for
you.
5) A big long tow rope
6) and GAS..plenty of GAS ..you should never leave
home without it..or else you will need the rope.
