Fixing the boat!
My boat got stuck for a while after the summer has ended. Last August 25 I visited Morong Bataan to check on it. It can travel but we need to fix it first.
Carburetor Leak!
First cleaning the inside of carburetor.
After cleaning we tried to open one side (I do not know the name 馃槀) but the bolt is stuck.
So we decided just to seal it off with Epoxy.
Old gas tank!
Because of wear and tear and rain or shine the gas tank cannot bear it anymore. Kuya Rey pull out a container started doing his thing.
Tire valve.
He used tire valve (Pito in Tagalog) for gas to flow through. I'm watching this and I was so amazed 馃槷.
Testing it and it works!
Ihi.
We also fix the Ihi (the bar that holds the propeller to the engine. They call it Ihi interesting fact Ihi in Tagalog is urine.
One engine down and out!
Sadly one of the engine is out. The boat has two engines this one didn't make it. I salute you engine one thank you! So we still have one engine that works. It's time now to test it and get some tourist to have extra money.
It's been 3 years since I did this. Happy to be back and doing it again!
Life vest are ready radio is ready! There are not a lot of tourist because it's not summer we just tried our luck. 30 minutes of waiting and voila we had a customer.
Thank you!
I plan to buy a new engine before the next summer, change tarpaulin and paint the boat white. I was so focused on the trike lines that I have no time for the boat this will change.
Context : From where we are it's too far to buy our needs for the boat. We just do what we can do, an emergency fix if you can call it like that or DIY.
Thank you kuya Rey!
As always God bless you all!
