 Hey guys she better 1,000 here today. We're going to do a quick fix on this prop As you can see it's supposed to be a three blade It's a two blade. I Broke one of those off What happened was I think I hit the Hit the motor we'll talk about that in a second Okay guys, so here's what I think happened Looks like I'm gonna have to be replacing some seals in that Here's what I think happened When I got this motor down if the motor's turned that way the gas motors turn that way as you can see There's plenty of room down there But if the motor I forget the motors turn this way Well, I'm chopping up stuff mainly my prop so it's just So easy to forget to raise that motor up every time you want to use this trolling motor So yeah, it's this operator error. It's my fault but my buddy that I worked on his Ryan I worked on his Pressure washers Said he had one of these and you bring it down. We drop it off this morning didn't knock on the door He just got out of the truck Brought it over and sat it on the seat of the boat So I'm gonna get you on stand and let's see Man, I got clean all this out again That's all from gas fumes So I got to see if Let's see if it works See if it'll fit on there because I was going to go with a two blade prop anyway If you go with three blade prop you get a little more speed Two blade prop you get a little more torque a little more power. Well, seeing is that we're on the rivers a lot I was going to change it to a two blade anyhow for more torque You know for trolling around the rivers and stuff so you know the current More power you don't need speed. I mean how fast you're going to go on one of these, you know But yeah, so let's get you on the stand I'll show you how to change that quick fix hopefully Okay, so all we're going to do is take this little nut off of here When very tight Set this aside This is real simple. Oh, and it's also got a cracking here. I'll show you in a second I'll be careful. Don't lose that pin because if you got this thing to the side that panel fall out Looks like that pins bent. I've had to straighten them before so I'm going to straighten it again I'm just going to lay it down on something tap it with a hammer But there's a crack You see that crack right there where my finger is so yeah, I mean it's been nicked up and It wasn't in the best shape when we got it I Had to do some sanding here So I don't feel too bad about it But and this thing is really really flimsy see that see that given this other one It's pretty big problem. It's really solid So Just see if it'll fit on first Sure enough does I don't think I'm going to have to this is the weedless wedge to This is supposed to help cut the weeds The way they're kind of told it up there and then these little notches here that you see Also helps cut the weeds. This is exactly now these things are like But they're cheap like made like this like 15 bucks and I was going to order one online I seen a whole Minn Kota trolling motor at the Thrift store for 10 bucks and why didn't buy it I don't know because if they would had to prop sit in there for 10 bucks I would have bought it. I didn't but it was the whole motor It didn't it had the controls of foot controls But it didn't have the foot controls, you know what I mean It was that kind it took. I think it was that 24 volt system But it wouldn't matter. I probably could have made something made it made it work because you know, Minn Kota I love them. Oh, no, look at that. That's not gonna fit in there That's okay. Let's go see if I've got a nut now she's in the house, but Anyway, let's go see If I got a nut that'll fit that if not, I Can probably chuck this up in the drill and file that around. I Don't want to do that And I'll keep this for an emergency because I've been using it just you know a little bit here and there to back up and stuff, but Okay, let me go see if I can get a getting up for that. Okay, so I found one here Fits on there beautifully Probably should have a washer on there, but I don't have a washer a flat washer That'll fit down inside of here That'll go over top of that That nut or that bolt part of it the shaft. Let's make sure it's gonna Feels pretty good. Let's check it out. It sounds like it's rubbing a little bit so I'm gonna back this off and I think that's a problem I had with that other one It's kind of rubbing it'll actually rub itself in it's not gonna really hurt anything But it's kind of rubbing right there around here. I don't think I'm gonna worry too much about it. I am gonna go Put that on the Little run some sandpaper around there and Then I think it's gonna be all right might put a little bit of grease on there Eventually grease to wash the water away, but or the water We'll wash the water away, but I think it's gonna be all right It could be Yeah, that pins bent, you know why let me straighten that pin out I might have just tightened it too tight because it should only be finger tight So I'm gonna go straighten this pin out Yeah, that's what it was. I just tightened it up too tight So let me knock this pin out of here Because remember it was moving before now it's not so Now I've been it to our own way too far. No, it's fine. All right so now I'm gonna go straighten this pin out. I just won't put it on this tight I'm gonna still look and see if I can find a washer that'll fit in there Yeah, see that was bent like a like an ass So I'm surprised it's still holding up The first time I straightened it Because somebody hit something really hard with it at one time. I Had trouble getting the prop off and this was just bent That way and it was bent this way. So let me go see if I can find a washer I'm gonna straighten this out. All right. I think we're good to go now still not perfect, but Never really was be about right there. I did find a little washer Just not going to tighten it as tight this time And put a little washer in there. I just don't like that. There's not very many threads on that So I'm just gonna do away with this washer. I'm I mean I Use this motor, but not like I think it's gonna be all right for what I use it for I may get some May put a little bit of Loctite on there the removable blue kind Still rubbing a little bit, but that'll work itself through. I am gonna put a little bit of grease on there though And let me see if I can find my Loctite Think I got some in there We'll put a little bit of Loctite on here removable Loctite so that way It holds a knot on but you can still remove it. You know what I mean So hang tight guys. So I put a little bit of a little bit grease around here I know guys. It's not going to hurt the environment Calm down two strokes running there all the time and what they burn gas and oil Comes out the exhaust. I don't know if there's enough in this Or if there's any I don't think there's any This is medium Nope, okay. Well All right Just gonna have to keep an eye on it. I guess it's checking again. Make sure I think we're all right a little bit of modification there But I think we're gonna be all right. I Don't think that's gonna come loose. I Got another one of these nuts Just like this one it's fine thread But it is standard I don't get that but So I'll put in my toolbox in the boat just in case I lose this one and then if I lose one that's in the boat I'll put this prop back on I'll keep that for an emergency backup, whatever So yeah, I think it's gonna be all right though. So there you go trawling motor proper replacement quick fix. Thanks for watching guys. Shea barely met the main legend gone for now We'll see in the next one. Bye bye guys and take care
