Never Imagined the Water Could Get So High …

- Bet you've never imagined the water getting this high either all the hurricanes that have come thru Key West! All these years the coast guard has kept track on a building. It's pretty scary when you think about it and see it in real life. Matt's servicing our neighbors outboard motor and the bolt is corroded in the hole and it appears they someone put thread lock on the threads.

We saw the water measurements on this building some years ago .... it just makes us always aware of where we live! We all have our different weather events some of worse than others. I'd rather have this then the blowing snow in the North. What do you think?
Use propane gas and heat up the space AROUND the bolt to expand the area around the bolt. Heating up the bolt expands the bolt and only locks the bolt in harder.
We ended up having the owner take it to a machine shop! Saver that way and discovered someone used leak lock or something like that on the bolts.
Thanks for your good work. We enjoy your videos.
Appreciate you watching please share us with your friends!
Grind two flats onto the broken bolt then try vise grips, might provide a better bite than trying to grip onto round treads. Also maybe try heating the alum housing a little bit instead of the bolt itself

@@WillFixThatso that would have been the dealer?
Heat the bolt and the surrounding area and touch a candle to it. The wax will draw into the threads and provide lubrication and bust up the corrosion. Worth a shot. Learned that from an old millwright neighbor of mine.
We had the owner take it to a machine shop and it ended up being that someone used thread lock on the boat!
I use to use a small pipe wrench and heat
We took it to a machine shop due to potential for damage! 🥴
Great episode! Keep rolling WFT team! 👍👍
Yes we are rolling 🤣
@@WillFixThat 👍👍
weld a nut to the bolt. We do that in automotive work all the time.
Great tip but these were locked in place!
I say NO TO SNOW, I love the weather here.
Don’t blame you! 🤣
Left hand drill bit
Yup familiar until they break!
Good vid
Thanks Tim 👍👍
Have you ever tried KROLL lubricant? It free s up bolts
Yes sprayed it multiple times with KROIL … no lucky!
I enjoy your channel. One content thought I have: It would be interesting to get you and/or your teams thoughts on trends in the boating industry - good and bad - and in particular the transition to electric propulsion. Best of luck going forward.
I’ll share that with Matt … we have worked on 2 hybrid and neither one would Matt recommend! Lots of issues.
Great video! Variety is the spice of life. Frozen bolts should be illegal! You could curse a bit. Maybe that would help.😅
Nope we don’t really curse not going to do us any good! Yes trying to open up our channel to more than repairs! Any ideas?
Can you use grease designed for aluminum electrical wire for ease of future disassembly
Disassembling what?
Kroll, PB blaster, long time ago I used stuff called Break away. Heat and soak a few times for 24hrs. Heat aluminum around bolt, Then vise grips or grind square was my method, before drilling with cobalt bits,
We tried soaking & spraying it for 2 weeks … we ended up having to take it to a machine shop! Safer for us & clients! Someone used leak lock or something like that 🥴
that is pretty nutty that the water goes that high in these storms. im in north florida so we normally get lucky and not direct hits. i dont look forward to the day we do get direct hit though. it can be brutal i know for a fact.
Agree with you completely… we left for Irma 6 years ago & we were gone for the storm that came last year. But, have to be diligent when storms are coming cause ultimately no one really knows!
I know Key Colony Bach has injection wells that take high water during storms.
Unfortunately we don’t have such a system… it’s amazing when looking at this building! Just means we have to really consider our options of leaving when a storm is coming. Even Cat 3 had really high waters 🥴 we’ve only evacuated once in almost 14 yrs.
Love them thar li'l boats guys! I'll never be able to afford them thar big boats! 😉
Big boats bring lots of responsibilities too 🤣
Weld a larger nut to those broken off bolts. Does 2 things, puts heat directly into the bolt shank and gives you a nice place to put a long wrench on to spin it out. Way faster than drilling and EZ-out! That's a Cape Cod boat, MA plates with a Nauset Marine sticker!
Had to have machine shop remove the bolt! It was safer that way!
I was in Marathon the day Andrew went through and was in Key West the next day, and there was no water. That may be how high the water got in homestead or something, but not in the keys.
Hmm interesting …. I just saw pictures from Katrina in 2008 and there was water same with Irma.
Do you use neverseize when you put lower unit back together.
We use super lube!
Don’t heat the bolt. That causes it to expand into the aluminum. Heat the midsection in one spot so it expands and creates a hinge of the non heated aluminum. Can hit the bolt with a cryo blast if needed. Cycle with PB.
No luck with efforts had to take to a machine shop! Someone used a leak lock product on the bolts.
More of everything Boss Lady,
Thanks Craig … can you define everything for me?
👍👍 what kinda car do you have under the cover in garage
Caddy that we rarely drive!
Lots of PB Blaster. Then I would weld a nut on the broken bolt. Then you can get a wrench on it.
We had the owner take it to a machine shop it was not budging come to find out it had lock tight on it.
If you heat the bolt you expand the bolt!
We had the owner take it to a machine shop they used heat & got it out!
Can you please give your workers wireless microphone when they’re inside a boat working or anytime they’re talking it is really hard to hear
Yes workers have wireless mics sometimes they just grab the camera. We just got our 3rd pair of mics!
Matt, as soon as you said "easy out" I cringed. The same thing has happened to me, Once they break............. Sure lets see some big boats. But I do enjoy the outboard repairs the most.
Easy outs good until they break! 🥴
Do they make a watch dog like we use in our rv’s
I’m not sure I’ll have to ask Matt!
Get you a gator socket
Wonder if that is what Honeybun is sending us …. He’s commented here. I’ll tell Matt your idea.
You should always heat the housing that the bolt goes into... heating the bolt just exspands it and makes it harder to remove.... dissimilar metals are the worst to deal with. A little never seize goes a long way.
This bolt had lock tight on it … we had owner take it to a machine shop to get it removed.
Good call brining to a machine shop, to me the only way to get it off at that point is to weld a nut on the end.
Yes it was best also to let the customer experience and see the difficulty in trying to get it removed! 👍
Man yall are very busy and that bites that 2 bolts broke on that lower unit I have never seen that before but I have seen lower unit damage due to owners running into sand bars and what brand of tools does matt use?
What brand of tool … lol whatever will get the job done! 🤣 someone used leak lock or something on those bolts! It’s crazy we had the owner take the boat to a machine shop to get them removed!
@@WillFixThat ouch leak lock thoes go in dry lol and ok I'm going to send Matt a couple ratchets he will like lol
@@honeybunbandit1who makes the rachets?
@@WillFixThat they are snap-on flex heads with a soft grip 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive
@@honeybunbandit1we don’t have much if any snap on tools.
Several more cycles with the heat and Kroil it would come out.
Thanks we just couldn’t keep waiting we tried for a few weeks!
I get it....a dime holding up a dollar !
drill it and tap it.
Yes 👍
The a/sea converters are higly unreliable. You couldn’t give me one, if you want quality buy an atlas
We were committed since that’s what the owner wanted!
