 Hey guys, Shabear1000 here today. Almost forgot my name. I'd still do a little vlogging for you. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this cover off this boat. I think there's a couple rivets. This is an aluminum boat, again. It's put together with rivets. This thing is almost 52 years old. So it's got a couple little leaks. Nothing major. Just when you're out on the boat, save for four hours. There is a little bit of water. Not much. Probably maybe a pint. And I was looking. I think it's coming in from the front. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna use some caulking, seal it up. But I'm gonna flood the boat first, okay? I'm gonna fill it up with water and see where it's coming from. I'm gonna mark the holes. I'm gonna seal it up and I'll use some of that flex seal, too. And put on it. But you gotta let that stuff set 24 to 48 hours. I don't think we're gonna have the boat out for the next couple of days. Because I know she's at work today and she's gotta work tomorrow. So we might not get the boat out tomorrow. That should give me plenty of enough time. Hopefully it don't rain. But at least I'll know where it's leaking at. I think it's probably just a rivet because it's just so minimal. I normally wouldn't worry about it. But we take Bruno out on the boat and I don't want him drinking that old nasty water that may come in there. So I'm just gonna set you down here and I'll talk to you while I'm doing this. But like I said, we're just gonna flood it. That's how we always check these things. Just fill it up with water, man, and look underneath it for any water coming out. You got it running pretty good. It seemed a little sluggish the other night when we had it out. But there's a cam roller. I know you boat guys will know what I'm talking about. Just a little tiny roller that goes on this cam. And when you turn the throttle, it turns the timing plate or the cam plate, whatever. And it rolls on that roller, it rolls that roller, which opens up the throttle. Well, that little roller came off and it wasn't opening wide open. But anyway, the motor is running good. The boat's doing very well and we're very happy with it. So it's a custom cover for this boat. Of course, we didn't have it made, but somebody did. It is not waterproof, but you know, it mainly keeps the leaves out. That's all we care about because it does have a bung plug in the back. So I'm not worried about water getting in it. Nothing can hurt the water inside. We just want to keep all these leaves and stuff out of it. So what I'm going to do, this is just to keep the... These are just to keep the top, you know, that cover to keep it so the water runs off more. Because if you don't, I left it overnight the other day without the cover on. As you can see, all the leaves, that's what I hate. That's the hardest stuff to get out, man. You got to hose it down to the back, then you got to scrape them out. It's a pain, really. What we're going to do is make sure I don't have anything that's going to get wet that I don't want it to. We take our life vest out, bought Monkey this knife several years ago when we had the other boat. She never had to use it, but just in case, she says. So, all right, this is Bruno's little life jacket. Looks like a little shark. It's cute. Okay, so, all this stuff here. We also have an extra one. There's a seat cushion, but it also doubles as a floater. I don't know what this stuff is. Before this, this was for a light. I don't know what this stuff is. But it's time for it to come out. So, I got some blocks on the front of the boat trailer. Because this ain't the right trailer for it. And the pivot point's right here at the wheels. So, and you got this big motor standing back here. Well, it's not a big motor, but you know, it's got some weight to it. Hanging off the back there. So, if you don't have some weight there, the boat goes up. So, I'm going to try to get some of these leaves out of here. And I'm going to flood the boat. Bummer. Our road. Reigned on. Okay, so, next week, you're going to take this ring doorbell. It actually picks up that whole truck and almost the golf cart. So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to take one of them cameras up there on the corner. Right there. Boom, right there. I'm going to put it on this corner and face it this way so I can get that. And I might leave the other one there because it really doesn't pick up much because of this now, but the ring doorbell does. So, the other one, I think, I'll point it back that way. Then I've got a couple more. I'm going to put one in the house in the kitchen. I'm going to put one on the back corner of the house back here in the backyard. Because sometimes, we've got motion light. See, this used to be a motion light here, but remember I had to take that out because it quit working. But sometimes, the monkey will come out at night and see the backyard light on. And it kind of makes her a little nervous. So, I go out and check. It's usually just an animal, like probably the armadillos we got back there. So, it's probably that or a lizard or a tree frog will get across the sensor or a big moth and it'll kick it on. Last night, I was fishing. I'll throw a couple of them clips in here because I went out two days and only caught two fish, one each day. I'll throw them in, but there was a lizard. We was coming back and we got a... I was only like five miles up the road here at the river. We was coming back and something came right. And we got a notification or our arms went off. And we kicked on while I kicked on my phone, she was driving. There was a lizard or not a lizard, a tree frog. A little tree frog hopping on there, kicking that thing on. So, anyway, so stay tuned for next week. I'll bring you along when I move the cameras around and stuff. Because like I said, this ring really... I mean, it actually goes over to about right there. Kind of picks up the whole Corvette and it does pick up pretty much probably 80 or 90% of that truck. So I'm good with that. Because if anything comes in here, you know, walking human, it will sound an alarm. So, all right, well, I'm kind of rained on today. I'm going to go and put them straps back on. I did find one... One... See, there's a riveted together and they got rubber seals in there and stuff. But on the front seat, I found one rivet leaking. And that's all I found on the whole boat. So I went ahead and used that... Well, I threw it away. The flex seal, over top of a lot of it, I sealed some of that up. Anything, you know, I sanded it. And anything that looked like it could be a potential leak, I went ahead and shot it with that. I'm going to get some more of that stuff and I'll probably just do the hole underneath all the rivets and stuff. I'm not worried about the sides too much. They look great, but they're going to be painted anyway. We're just going to paint the whole thing. The same color, or real close to that color blue, we kind of like it. It looks cute. So I did get a little overspray on the bunks. You know, the black quartz down underneath that boat sits on. I'm not worried about that because we're not going to have that trailer as long as we have the boat. That's for sure. I do not like that trailer. It doesn't fit it. It's hard to back. So anyway, let's go in the house and we'll go in the garage and find something to chitchat about. You guys keeping these fish? I'll wrap this one up right here. It's got the fan blowing on me. It's still hot. Really hot. What is it anyway? It is. I'm getting my glasses on and I'll tell you. 84 with a real fill, 97 and it's raining. So, but I'm going to call it right there. Hope you enjoyed a couple fishing clips. But my monkey's messaging. My workbench here is a total wreck, man. And also I forgot to tell you, I do have a yard cell find video coming up. I may get to that today since it's raining. So I haven't been doing much on the late night thing because it seems like I get about 18, 20 views and that's it. If you guys want me to keep doing some, I'll do them. But I'm just not going to do it every week. It's just like, you know, and now everybody's doing them big time YouTubers now that never did it before. Now once they're doing 2am stuff, you know, I'm out in the garage. They make sure they let it known that they're out in the garage really late. But I do have one. I don't know if I'm just going to do it as a how to or trying to fix video or if I'm going to do it as a late night. But it's also in with the yard cell find. Well, it's one of the yard cell finds. I'll do a yard cell find and also I got a free stuff. We're going to check out the free stuff that I got. And so, like I said, fishing's been better. But last night I figured it'd be a lot better than it was, but I did catch that one fish and then the day before I caught that one. But, you know, we need to get out on the boat and how if it's raining like that, you know, don't want to be out on the boat when it's raining. You know, your feet's going to get wet and, you know, again, it's pouring, it's pouring right now. But stay tuned for more fishing. I'm going to, you know, all I'm doing right now is kind of scoping out different places. I'll get out on the boat and get back into the river and we'll find some cat fishing holes there. I'm not doing the bass fishing thing. Too many people are doing that. You know what I mean? That's, you know, I'm not Bill Dance. You know what I mean? I'm not, I'm not a bass fisherman. Never was keen on it. I have bass fished. I've caught my share of bass, but, you know, I like the big fish that really fight. And so that's why I like cat fishing. And down here we've got the gar. I think it's alligator gar. Anyway, I know we've got gar. We've got mud fish. They're fighting fish. So I'm going to try out some different baits. We've just been using eye crawlers because I usually like to use, when I'm cat fishing, I like to use chicken livers. But there's all different kinds of stuff they use down here for different fish. But, you know, cat fish will pretty much hit on anything that's meat-wise. So, you know, I mean, I caught a catfish one time on a spinner when I was bass fishing. That was a fluke because usually they like meat, meaty stuff, live. Well, not even live, but dead because they're bottom feeders. But man, they put up a good fight. So I'm going to get off here. I'm going to edit this video for you. I may do some more filming. I may have another video following this one today or tomorrow. I'm not sure. I may do some fishing tomorrow. I don't know. But it's going to be a couple of days before we get the boat out again. So hopefully it's raining now. But the stuff I put on it was all on the bottom. So hopefully it doesn't run down there too bad. If it does, I'll just have to redo it. But like I said, there was only one rivet that was leaking. When I flooded the boat, I was going to show you, but I got into it and then it started raining. What I did was I tilted it down forward. And so I feel like the front cavity up, you know, like half the boat up. And then I did see one drip. And that's about how much was coming in. You know, you can tell how much is coming in your boat. You know, it was like drip, drip, drip, drip. And it was one rivet where the seat mounts go down in. One rivet on it. So I think I got it. And then I leveled it out real level, checked for more leaks. And then I stood it straight up, checked for leaks in the back. I see no leaks back there. He said he thought the plug was leaking a little bit. But I think what it was doing was it was just rolling back. You know, I mean, some people, you know, it's just common sense. But some people don't think they just think, well, it's wet back there. It's got to be that plug. Wasn't a plug though. What I don't like about it is I may do away with some time as the plug's right in the bottom in the very back. But it's in the bottom. And I don't like that because if you get too long of a plug and you're coming up in the shore. Because those boats are made just to run right up on the beach, just to beach them. And, you know, it'll wiggle that plug and you can see the holes kind of bent. But I didn't see any leaks around it. So I may change that. I may just, you know, plug that hole up permanent and then put it straight out the back where it should be. We'll just have to see. But that may be a wooden transom. That might be why they didn't do it. I don't know. But anyway, that's future stuff. So this winter, probably January, I'm going to take a weekend. I'm going to go over the lower unit and make sure they did put a new impeller in it. It is pumping good. It's pissing like it's supposed to. So, but, you know, I want to make sure the new seals in it. Because I read on that one work order that he gave me that something about the output shaft in the lower unit was pitted. Now, why they didn't change it after already having them at $600. I don't know why they didn't go ahead and change the output shaft for $30 more when they put new seals on. They said they cleaned it up with Emory cloth. So I don't know. But we're going to take that apart and find out and reverse. You got to hold it in reverse. If you don't hold it, it's all right item. But then if you go to get a little bit of gas to back up, it wants to pop out. So that's going to need adjusted, which that will be adjusted when I take the lower unit off and just go over it. I think the engine is going to be fine. I don't think I have to do anything to it. I may clean the carburetor, you know, just for the hell of it. I don't know, but it seems like the carburetor is running fine. So anyway, that's it in a nutshell. Sorry, wasn't too much interesting stuff. But at least we got the chit chat and you got to see some funny footage. So anyway guys, thanks for watching. Appreciate it. Sheba, the man, let him go for now. Bye-bye guys. We'll see you soon. Don't forget to comment, rate, subscribe, share these videos, and we'll chat soon. Bye-bye.
