 that don't sound good let's check it out guys so our trawling motor's been really irritating whatever since we had it it was working okay when we first got it but then it just started losing power and uh... the thing never did want to back up uh... the uh... the props a little got some dings in it but that's not what concerns me it's the noise this thing's making listen to this i've had some trawling motors apart before never had one of these particular ones this is the prowler fifty five pound thrust so i'm gonna go ahead we're gonna take this off here and see how this thing comes apart i'm not sure i hear something sounds like it's turning up inside of here now i don't know why that would be because this is the motor the motor's not up there that's just the controller so i don't know so let's get you on stand let me get that on hook from the battery let's see what we can do with it because tomorrow i got the head in for this thing today tomorrow the gas gets supposed to be here so we'll we'll get on that uh... but right now so i'm gonna get this going just in case we take this thing out on the water and something happens then this thing can get us back but sounds like the bearings are shot but maybe if we grease it up good that'll get us by a little bit until i can find parts for this or whatever but anyway let me get you on stand alright so back this up in the shade a little bit let's uh... see what's under here it's a three blade of prop alright it's cracked in there my Minn Kota was a two blade i really liked it but we let it go with the boat when we sold the boat so the prop is definitely shot see a couple bolts down through here underneath this prop okay let me get a screwdriver and try to pry that off there it'll probably break but it's already broke inside there but i'm gonna try not to break it anymore okay let's see what happens here it ain't good these things should just almost pretty much fall off once you take the nut off of it and it's not wanting to come off i don't see anything else holding it on but i have to get it off of there because i have to get it off in order to get the to get this motor apart yeah that's weird i can see the pin i'm wondering if somebody didn't maybe glue this on or there we go okay so the pin is bent i don't know why it was on there so tight but yeah that pin is definitely bent i have to get a new pin new prop the props aren't aren't real expensive but it's seen better days i mean you're going to hit stuff with it now we got to try to get this pin out of here got a kind of straightness and now you're not supposed to do that but you know sometimes you don't have a choice Bruno getting his hair done he's at the beauty parlor he loves it if you say vat he loves to go to the vat there's the pin just from hitting stuff you know i mean it's going to happen let me see alright this will work maybe maybe not this one we got it turning yeah the other i'll show you in the video maybe tomorrow of the head how bad it's warped i think it may have been causing some issues running issues with it i did not run a compression test on it uh... didn't feel really feel i needed to i knew it had problems so i just went ahead and tore it down i wanted to rebuild it but monkey's already antsy to get back on the water so we'll put the head on it cylinder looks pretty good grab another screwdriver i carry a little tiny some little tiny tools with me you never know these bolts here really worry me when they get stuck you end up breaking them off it's kind of like a starter motor i may have to get a pair of ice grips and put on that this thing's long this kind of stopped turning on me i hate that okay well i'm gonna spray some pee-pee blaster on there now that it is loose i can work it back and forth and work this stuff through it usually when they're tight and you've got no way to get to the threads of any way to get to the threads of the bolt or screw or whatever you're taking out that stuff normally don't work man unless you let it sit for weeks you see them guys on them restore videos oh i can't get it and then it comes right free that don't happen but if you notice the head of the bolt is always wet but the threads aren't that means the penetrating fluid can't get to it sometimes it can't so i'm gonna work this back and forth i'll be back with you when i get this out then we'll take these bolts out and we'll go from there okay guys so i grab this nut driver hopefully that'll do it these are stainless it looks like there's one if i knew it was gonna be that easy i would have just got my impact driver but i didn't want to snap them off i mean it's not that big of a deal getting broken bolts out they're just their hassle and there's those and i pulled the i pulled the brush end off first of course wouldn't have it any other way right well then bushings don't look bad well at least this one doesn't uh... it's fairly clean inside there well the vibration must have just been them wires so i'm not sure how this gets stuck down in here uh... let me see these wires are pretty tight because they run down through here and up into up in the shaft so they might have just been vibrating up in here i see a little bit of movement there right here but i don't know why it's making that god-awful noise unless it's just full of dirt uh... okay so i think i think what i'm gonna do i'm gonna put the top the top of it off up there up here and see if i can get some room for the cables to come down so i can uh... so i can get those uh... get that bottom motor apart uh... this holds this on yeah it just sounded like you know like a weed eater sounds when you got the shaft running up through there that's what it sounded like that's what was really confusing me so i'm guessing it was just the wires put me a little mark on here oh it doesn't matter okay i don't have to mark that i guess it was just a just the wires that were uh... maybe vibrating up through there they had one heck of a vibration this thing never was a real quiet motor and of course not i'm gonna take it off here looks like a phillips and this one probably will not fit let me go get a phillips alright so i took out two of the three bolts just to save you guys on that cause nothing exciting about taking screws out okay so these prowlers are uh... they're sold in bass pro shops and they are expensive okay so let's see what we got down in here sorry about the lighting and you can't see much okay let's uh... see here's the wires going down to the motor okay they're marked that's good red and yellow all right cool so you can't mix them up that's for sure that's a good thing looks like you get this off of here and the ground ground wire here well i don't know what's ground it's black wire okay now i wanna let's just take this whole thing off of here if we can i might be able to get this out of the way huh i like that they use stainless this wasn't stainless but all these screws and stuff are stainless stainless steel uh... connectors yeah that's cool i just never did like this motor all right we'll move this out of the way we're gonna shove these through here but i hate sometimes they shove the wires through and then put the connectors on you can't get them out this is not the case so and i don't mean just like trawling motors and stuff like that i mean other things so set this over here now we're gonna get back down here there it's coming yeah these stainless out here they didn't use stainless inside i still i see a steel couple steel rusted bolts there i'm gonna go get them she's gonna go get bruno he's done already just down down the street they said a couple hours but that was fast so anyway i don't see what would be causing the whole the whole armature is wanting to come out of this thing i don't know why it won't just come out come on i don't know how much of this you see i'm telling you what this does not feel bad i don't know why it'd be unless the shaft is bent that could be could be a bent shaft that might be i mean i've run over some logs myself but nothing nothing that would bend that pin or bend the shaft especially since it started to come up out of there but then stop i don't know why because of this that's why alright got a little little c-clip in there still let's take the c-clip out alright i see springs and stuff jumping out not good there's a washer i know i see something else come out spring down in here okay that came out of the the spring came out of the out of the brush that's not a big deal i think there might have been another washer that came out of it okay so i don't see i don't see what could have been making that thing i'm gonna do all that racket that looks straight i'm gonna put a straight edge on it and check and see if there is a bend in this okay you guys see the problem it's nice and tight magnet come unglued so what it was doing was it was in the wrong place it was hitting so i'm gonna have to clean that out get some epoxy put that magnet back in there where it belongs i'll bet you that's what happened i think it was rubbing on here this magnet might have been in the wrong spot i don't know i couldn't find a bend in the armature let me get this all cleaned up guys okay so when i was taking this out i had noticed that magnet had been moved but i wasn't positive i couldn't really see it well but see these rub marks those are from rubbing on that magnet and it kind of screws spirals its way down to the bottom so that's why we had all that all that noise i'm gonna clean this out i'm gonna see i think i got some jb weld i'm gonna put get this sanded up and cleaned up i'm gonna put the magnet back in we'll have to wait till tomorrow put it back together then we'll see we'll see what's going on with that so let me get this cleaned up some more i don't want to bore you with that just gonna run some sandpaper down in there get all that cleaned up same with the magnet now we'll get it stuck in there hang tight guys okay guys so i couldn't find any of my uh... jb weld i did find this stuff and i don't know what it is and as you can tell this is why i don't know what it is i did translate that but all it did was give me the company information it didn't didn't say how long you gotta wait or anything these are your instructions and that's it it's a two part some kind of epoxy or glue now that that magnet uh... i mean this is not the space shuttle it's just an old trawling motor so if anything i mean i know you know it'll run enough to get me back home if it slips again but so we're going to try this stuff this was stuff that her dad had okay cool it comes with a little mixer so let's go ahead and open these up i'll be surprised if this stuff's still good of course it usually won't dry up if it's not mixed but we'll see one is the uh... stuff and the other stuff is the hardener so just like a you know just a two-party poxy type thing like jb weld is i don't know how strong the stuff is i know nothing about it but i figured we'll give it a shot i mean it can't hurt right i mean it was running like it was before it was just like knocking and stuff so now this should once it gets on there should smear out a little bit now the problem is when i gotta put this in there i gotta get it straight on there so don't go up against the other magnet or i'm gonna make a mess okay so let's get you over here just like that now i'm gonna try to get something in between them so they don't suck together and we'll see how long it takes to dry okay guys i just shut the camera off it's no kidding it hasn't been three minutes and i cannot move that so i'm gonna give it you know half an hour or so i'm gonna put it back together let's see what happens okay guys so i'm probably gonna speed you up through this this part uh... because it's gonna take me a few minutes i figure and so what what i'm gonna do i'm gonna put this down in here i'm just gonna try to pull these back just like that now i'm not sure how i'm gonna get i just wanted to show you how i'm gonna do that so what i'm gonna have to do though is i gotta get the uh... i've gotta get my uh... washer on here it's gonna go in here then i'm gonna well maybe i can put the clip on first just a c-clip or an e-clip in fact i see a little bend in this clip you just straighten it there a little bit okay so there's that give it a little extra alright now we're gonna put our thing on here and we're gonna try to get this back in here now i'm gonna be speeding up just like that i gotta put my ring on here and what i'm using for my rubber ring is vaseline i'm putting some vaseline around there it'll help seal it plus it keeps it from drying out because you really want this to be as waterproofed as you can get it so i did put some grease on that shaft and uh... so that should help anything from getting down inside there hopefully so there's that i did straighten that pin out i'm still gonna have to get a pin now i'm gonna shove these wires up through here i did the same thing on the bottom i cleaned it up real good put some vaseline around here i got a little bit of grease in there you can use vaseline i just stuck a little high temp grease in there now i don't want that to get on the rubber it'll swell that rubber up okay so i'm gonna move you back here a little bit and let's get this thing together that space between the magnets is where the bolts your bolts are going to go down through so i can see right there where it has to be so right about there hopefully that'll stay on there for a minute which i doubt now i'm probably gonna have to get a fishing wire i call them fishing wires and they're not what you had somebody call me at one time i deleted the comment you're not fishing yet or what was it he said you're not fishing you're working on i don't know if he's being stupid on purpose or if he was just that stupid i just deleted it because i ain't got time in my life or something like that oh it was the lights on the boat trailer that's what it was when i said i gotta fish these wires through here well that doesn't even make sense you can't fish from a boat trailer or something stupid like that man it was like you've got to be kidding me so hopefully these will come out up at the top they're kind of stuck there we go yeah they did all right now well you know what i should do take this back out and push it up through so let me get this all back together the way it should be i just put it up through this stayed in the armature stayed in so now i'm gonna get this up through here just like that now we're gonna get our boat got a little vaseline on the end of the boat and you'll feel it drop in and just get it started for right now make sure it's straight okay that one started a little bit of vaseline and that one started i'm gonna go ahead and tighten this up see it down there want to pull up see so i'm gonna go ahead and tighten this up then we're gonna go up up top and we'll put the controller back together okay guys again i'm gonna go ahead and fast forward this because well there's nothing exciting going on here so make sure i get everything where it's supposed to be put my handle on there okay so i moved around here maybe a little better shot this is high as this tripod goes we're almost done so good are you i deliver for a local cattle company of six brothers they do local beef i do chicken seafood pork stuff like that too but everybody loves this because of the local beef uh i got some things i can get pretty silly with discount down going some free stuff i can't do anything right now all right now when's a good time come check on me um it's hard to say man just whenever you see me out okay no worries next time i'm out this way i'll stop by okay buddy okay so this is back on um i don't know why there's not a rubber seal around here which i you know this is where all the electronics are and i'm you know i'm thinking this is every bit as important as the motor down there if not more because this is where your electronics are and um these things are made well supposedly made to get wet they're going to be in the rain because diehard fishermen they they don't care if it rains or not and you got all this water just laying down in here just wanting to get inside of there i'll put some stuff around there i'm going to pull this off and i think i got some glue over there that will glue this back on with so anyway let me get this wipe down and we'll put the prop back on it because i still got to put this plate on the bottom and i can't find my other screw i put down in here and they were together so i don't know i don't know what i did with it so anyway thank you guys found my other screw we're going to put this on here and we're going to put the prop back on like i said i straightened that screw or that the pin out so hopefully yeah that must have been just the wires that went up through here that was um that was vibrating and rattling it just sounded like a this sounded like a weed eater you know how you get that that vibration and rattle weapon side there from that cable that runs down through there that's what it was doing and i knew there wasn't nothing up on top i was like why would there be something you know i mean i just barely turned this and i felt it you know up in there so there's that i'm gonna put some of this Vaseline down around this thing and there has to be a seal in there or a snug fit so hopefully this just will help keep the water out it will repel it i guess you can say so now we'll put our pin in nice neat now we're going to drop our prop down this um these notches right here is what the pin sets in just like that well that things feel smoother already i'm gonna put this on i've seen guys tighten these things with pliers and really raunch on it you're not supposed to do that because that right there it's not going to come off of there so this runs counterclockwise so it helps keep it tight all right let me hook the cables up and let's see what happens all right guys here we go oh that's much quieter i think that noise i'm hearing right there is the plastic from the prop yeah i think that yeah there's a piece of plastic right here i'm gonna sand some of this plastic off and then let's give it a shot okay so i just used my real fine grinder in there and just kind of took some of these burrs off too and there were some burrs around there where i had to pry it off um i know it's not going to be balanced right guys but you know it's just temporary until i get a until i get a new prop i think i can get these at one word i might try two blade okay let's try it and see what happens there's reverse okay there's all five in reverse no that was forward now let's do reverse it's got three speeds in reverse all right i'm i'm pretty happy with that that is a lot quieter than we started right wow that's uh oh yeah that's that's pretty smooth indeed okay guys there we go okay so there you go that's how you uh fix i guess a prowler trawling motor 55 uh 55 pound thrust now like i said i've had trawling motors apart before um but i was usually able just to get by with you know cleaning the brushes and whatnot um but i figured what the heck it's really just they're all pretty much the same kind of and it's pretty much the same as a starter motor so i thought well i'll give it a shot you know i mean it wasn't doing any good the way it was i mean last time we had it out it was just it was just vibrating the whole boat and i thought you know i wasn't doing any good that way couldn't use it that way so i thought well you know it can't be used regardless so i really can't break it more like you can but i mean it wasn't usable before so i thought if something messes up it's still not going to be usable or it i can get lucky and i did um but nothing to it i mean that was that was an easy one actually it was pretty easy i like the way they got a lot of stainless uh hardware in it and stuff like that um i just don't know why they don't have a rubber seal around that top that blue part is not a seal it's just a piece of plastic so i don't know why they they would uh chince on that because like i said the controllers up inside there you know so anyway guys thanks for watching i appreciate it uh so hopefully i got like i said i got the head in for for the fast twin so hopefully tomorrow the head gasket will come in it's supposed to be in tomorrow but when i check the tracking it says it says it was shipped but then when i track it it still says it's there at the united states post office where it's coming from but then again through ebay it says that it's that it'll be here tomorrow arriving tomorrow so i don't know the head was supposed to be in tomorrow but it came today so that's cool um it's it's in great shape uh so i'll show you like i said i'll show you tomorrow how to tell if you got a warped head and i think that was a lot of that problem with that engine um i mean i know it's got other issues i'm sure but that was one of the main ones um so uh i already got the thermostat i put it in but i i gotta take the cover the housing back off because when i took the housing off because it doesn't come with one so when i took the housing off they they had glued it on or something like that so one half stuck in one side one half stuck on the other so the gasket kind of got and it's a pretty thick gasket because of the the thermostats in there so i'm just going to get some permatex i might have some i'll have to look and put it around there because it doesn't really build up a lot of pressure like a car would so it's just got to keep water from leaking out so anyway guys again thanks for watching she barely missed the man legend off for now don't get check out monkey 1000 channel so uh we'll see you guys in the next one have a great week and you'll be safe take care and bye bye guys that is a lot quieter than we started right wow that's uh oh yeah that's that's pretty smooth indeed
