My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that. If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh… -

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything... -
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it. I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear. Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this. -
You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away. -

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

Question
TMF89
So let me start off by saying I'm pretty much not mechanically inclined, and don't know much at all about motors/engines/anything mechanical. lol
My dad bought a snowblower the summer of last year. We got it fired up for a few seconds last winter but it died right away and we couldn't get it going again. My dad finally decided to fix it (I don't know why he waited lol), so we're taking a look at it.
We couldn't get the pull start to move, so we took the recoil/cover off, and it looks like the crankshaft (that's what they connect to right? lol) has seized up. I tried getting a wrench in there to pry it loose, but she won't budge. I didn't add the gas, oil (it's a 4-stroke) or have any part in putting it together, so I'm not sure if my dad messed something up. I will say I checked the dipstick and while it seemed wet/moist/shiny, there was no noticeable oil on it. I'm going to get ahold of him to make sure he didn't treat it like a two cycle engine.
Otherwise, what are your thoughts guys? I have no idea why a crankshaft would seize up, or how to fix it. Thanks in advance!
