Thank You ,AndyBoat looks great Jack! Super classy.
The mods appreciate your creativity, Jeff, but this site isn't the place for your strategy.I might even get their name in this thread and send them a link. But that's just me. YMMV.
I finally got an answer to this question from an employee at the dealerPittsburgh......
How did your boat get so dirty over the course of winter storage? Was it dirty to begin with when you put it away? Or was it stored outside and the snow piled on it and possibly got inside or is there pollen all over it?!? That's the only thing I have to clean in the spring because the pollen gets in through the vents in the cover......
Chuck ,is he doing anything for your troubles ?I finally got an answer to this question from an employee at the dealer
Gave dealer boat 1st of October
He was shorthanded limited employees
Was trying to winterize himself !
My boat sat in his back lot dirt no asphalt with the wind blowing the dirt into my boat
He didn't shrink wrap till Mid November
He intended to clean it but is shorthanded again with employees and is so busy just delivered as it was
What can I say ?
It is clean now and I am enjoying it
That was the situation here, he used my trailer took the pontoon and stored it on his propertyPittsburgh - Sorry to hear of your continued troubles. Since I don't pay for indoor storage I just store mine in the yard. I have a guy that winterizes and shrink wraps for me and even will pick up a drop back to the house for me if needed. I guess I'm fortunate that all has always gone well.
If you can use a open end wrench, changing oil and lower unit grease is a snap.I feel your pain, Pittsburgh. To avoid the trouble with the one dealer in my area, I just do everything I possibly can myself. No disappointment that way. Hell, I'm even doing my own 100 hour service and oil change this weekend. I've never even changed my own oil in a car!
I actually did it today! Once I had all the right tools on hand, it was really easy. The worst part was getting to the oil filter on my F200XA. It's in a tough spot. Regardless, now that I've done it, I can't imagine paying the dealer $400 for that. I didn't do the lift high then drop down trick though. I'll remember that for next time.If you can use a open end wrench, changing oil and lower unit grease is a snap.
Just remember to lift the engine very high for 30 seconds or so, and then drop it all the way down--level to the ground. And drain all oil into a clean open top drain pan so you can look for water contamination or excessive metal shavings.
