SORT THESE POSTS OLDEST FIRST IN ORDER TO SEE THE
CHRONOLOGICAL PROGRESS ON THIS VESSEL.
This poor 1997 Ski Nautique was caught in a flood at one of our local lakes, and was forced up into the roof of its boat house. The windshield and dash were damaged, and will need extensive repairs. The boat also needs some maintenance items completed. We'll make it beautiful again for its owner!
Ok, she's all fixed, and ready to head back to Hyco Lake!
After a water test, we found that there were four things that still needed to be addressed:
Leaking exhaust tube
Blower tripping the dash breaker
Port-side speedometer pickup defective
Thermostat stuck open, causing the engine to run cold
We replaced the exhaust tube with a known-good spare.
We replaced the blower.
We repaired the port-side speedometer pickup.
We replaced the thermostat.
Time for another water test!
Swim platform has been refinished, and is ready to go back on the boat.
Dash is complete! We reinstalled it today, and tested functionality. Everything seems good!
Airguides are complete!
