while i was doing our power skiff the shaft for the other skiff came in so he just hired some guy that he thought knew what he was doing, well he was wrong. after he had finished we went over and checked it all out. for starters the rudder was at hard to port while the steering ram as about center the rudder post was not sealed he didnt set the carter key on the shaft correctly and it was not on straight. so we had to pull everything back off and found that the bolts holding the rudder post on were crossthreaded. so we had to cut those off. then when pulling the prop back off we managed to ding the threads up on the shaft so we had to file those smooth enough to allow the nut to go back on so after that we reseated the prop back on correctly, realigned the rudder and sealed the post up correctly and also replaced the bolts holding it in place.
so total hours for this one was 30hrs give or take
total hours : 121 hrs.
Sounds like you're back to doing your own work now...It is tough enough doing our own work with having to fix somebody else's mistakes.
