[00:00:15]Ouch.

[00:00:16]>> Ease cheese.

[00:00:21]>> Yay. It's raining again and like 50° out. Bring this in. I want to see if I can get this stuff off. Got a couple different things to try. I figure I'll clean her up. Even though I don't know if it's going to be any good yet. What's going to work the best here? I don't know. Probably bleach. That's that instant mold and mildew. That's soft scrub with bleach. That spot is bleach.

[00:00:44]And that spot's spray nine. Put it on about a minute ago. We'll see. Let it sit. Can't forget. Got to put the awesome cleaner in there for the test, too. Huh.

[00:00:56]A few moments later.

[00:00:59]>> Awesome cleaner. Nope. Oh, that that kind of did a little bit. Spray nine.

[00:01:06]Pure bleach did a little better than spray nine. Oh, look at that.

[00:01:12]Soft scrub with bleach.

[00:01:15]Now, let's see what this instant mold.

[00:01:18]That did pretty good, too. None of them did great, though. See how faded that is compared to that.

[00:01:28]This stuff works good, but it doesn't work miracles.

[00:01:32]I'll show you.

[00:01:41]I mean, it'll bring back some of the shine. I've used this on old cars. Got to use a little bit elbow grease. It's not going to bring it back to what it was originally, but it'll do pretty good. Let the wax dry.

[00:01:55]And wipe it off. And like I say, it's not going to put it back to original, but it does a pretty good job. Yes, sir, it does. Plastic razors always come in handy. And if it's really stubborn, you can use a little bit of heat.

[00:02:15]2000 Connecticut DMV. Little goo gone.

[00:02:21]That should be good enough for a new sticker. Did a Walmart trip. Got to have some of this stuff just to test it. Not that, but it's always good to have anyway. And I got a jacket. And if it don't run, I could take it to Florida.

[00:02:34]No biggie. Hopefully this plug fits. I ordered a 7/8 plug, but Billy says this will fit a 1 in. And it don't. Good thing I ordered the other plug.

[00:02:51]An old one. I had there.

[00:02:55]That'll work until the 7/8 one comes in today. Check this power trim. Little corrosion. Clean that up. Deox it.

[00:03:04]I must have lent my deox out. I think it was the V. Definitely a little corroded in there, huh?

[00:03:15]Oh yeah.

[00:03:21]H. That'd be cool if that's all it was.

[00:03:37]Wow. It's actually clean in there.

[00:03:41]might be all right. Maybe it does have to be running like Billy said.

[00:03:49]Seal's still good. Let's replace the rope on that.

[00:03:53]Put a new clip.

[00:03:57]Looks like clothes line. Huh. I got this stuff. 3/8 inch 15 ft. 550 lb. That should be plenty to pull that up. Okay.

[00:04:06]I didn't think it was going to work. I guess I could just lay that like that and wrap it over because I mean there's so much rope. I never let it out that far. That's only for pulling it back in.

[00:04:16]Should be fine.

[00:04:47]That'll work perfectly. Measurements say that this will fit in there. One from Walmart.

[00:04:57]Oh, look at that.

[00:04:59]like a glove. There's the counterbalance shaft oil. There is a drain on the bottom. It's a plastic plug. Oh, I got it.

[00:05:16]Get a little dipstick.

[00:05:21]Wow. Barely anything. Wonder how much goes in there.

[00:05:27]H. That's it. Maybe that's all it takes.

[00:05:30]Not quite a half inch. So, it says it takes an ounce if that's pretty long.

[00:05:35]That's what she said. An ounce, huh?

[00:05:38]Check it one more time. Hm. Doesn't even really look that bad, but I guess that could be an ounce. An ounce isn't that much. Guess if she runs good, I'll change the oil. I did add like a cap full more. Man, I need a better screwdriver than that, too. I don't want to strip that out. What's up, mini truck?

[00:05:58]I need you again.

[00:06:16]That should be about good, huh? Hope I can back it out of here. Damn.

[00:06:23]I know that the water is going to be cold.

[00:06:27]Yep.

[00:06:29]I got the tip of my foot in there. It's cold.

[00:06:33]All right.

[00:06:59]Heat. Heat.

[00:07:25]Heat up here.

[00:07:36]Heat.

[00:07:42]Heat.

[00:07:52]Heat.

[00:08:12]Heat.

[00:08:17]Heat.

[00:08:37]Heat.

[00:08:42]Heat up here.

[00:09:22]Now it's not smoking a lot.

[00:09:41]So the aisle has to be up a hair bigger.

[00:10:09]Smells rich.

[00:10:21]Turn the idle up a hair.

[00:10:35]It might clear out once it's running cuz it's getting a little better.

[00:10:39]Oh, what the heck happened?

[00:10:50]H power cut off. What the heck?

[00:11:03]I couldn't even tell if the pisser was working. It's underwater, but thankfully it's cool. What the heck shut everything off?

[00:11:13]Well, that sucks. Always something.

[00:11:19]I wonder if it's cuz the oil level low thing. It only lets it go so far. I mean, it just shut like the ignition got shut off. The lowle oil light is on.

[00:11:29]Back to the drawing board.

[00:11:49]Minnie, this is not right. He's not like you.

[00:11:59]Is it now going into four-wheel drive?

[00:12:02]Says it is.

[00:12:17]Jesus.

[00:12:19]God.

[00:12:36]Wow, Minnie.

[00:12:40]It's all this freaking mud.

[00:12:42]>> Too muddy somewhere.

[00:12:44]>> Yeah.

[00:12:46]forgot we had like days of rain like it's England. Of course, it rolled on >> and it ran okay and then it just stalled. Oh, look how wet it is. I better put it in four-wheel drive, huh?

[00:12:58]>> Yeah.

[00:13:10]Heat.

[00:13:35]Heat.

[00:14:05]So, ran good when it was running. If I can figure out why it stalled, if I can get it running again, I might try just taking it to the lake.

[00:14:17]>> Put it back in two wheel drive.

[00:14:19]>> Yeah.

[00:14:25]>> Thanks again, mini truck.

[00:14:29]That mud is bad. I forgot it rained for 4 days solid. Stupid cheesy.

[00:14:38]Nothing. Completely dead.

[00:14:44]I mean, these are tight. The only thing I know of that controls the ignition is that this thing here, it's a dees.

[00:14:54]It didn't fill up water. So, that little water ring is holding the water from coming in. I didn't see anything. It's always something, right? you know, boat break out another thousand. But it goes in here first and then goes up. Oh, that's a starter solenoid.

[00:15:16]Oh, that's just the coils and the solenoid. Dry, too.

[00:15:22]This box here controls everything. I have to take that out and look, I guess, before the battery shop.

[00:15:31]>> Oh, yeah. I guess I should check the battery first, huh?

[00:15:36]Huh? Battery's good.

[00:15:41]Come on.

[00:15:46]>> Oh, they give you spare fuses.

[00:15:48]>> Maybe it's a fuse. Let me unplug this first. Why would a fuse blow? Pull it off.

[00:15:57]That one's good.

[00:16:03]That one's corroded.

[00:16:07]Yeah, this one is no good. So, we need a five.

[00:16:17]15.

[00:16:21]That looks Where'd it go? Where the hell did it go?

[00:16:33]I have no idea where that 15 went. I don't have a 15. All got to 25. So, let's see.

[00:16:42]Huh. I'm not plugged into the motor, which I don't know if that makes a difference or not. If it'd be nice if I could find the 15 amp that came out if it was no good, you know? I mean, that would be great, wouldn't it? So, I had to plug it into the motor cuz it wasn't working without it. But now, hey, it did it once. What the heck? I think it popped the fuse already.

[00:17:05]Oh man, this is bull. Blew the 5 amp fuse. Wow, I found a fuse.

[00:17:14]Holy cow, that's not good. Oh, a little smoke in there.

[00:17:23]That's not good. Well, at least I know what it is. I think it's that box right there.

[00:17:28]>> No, it broke it.

[00:17:30]>> Yeah. Put a 10 instead of a five. So, it's whatever that big box is right there. I wonder if you can still get that. And it's probably the dees. Oh my god. Got to get that factory smoke back in there.

[00:17:45]Need you again, Minnie. You're muddy now. Get that old part sled has that electronic box in there.

[00:17:58]And I got to clean up back here.

[00:18:18]The log fell on it. Damn.

[00:18:41]Fingers crossed, boys.

[00:18:44]No.

[00:18:47]Damn it.

[00:19:00]Well, OD Rides, it's here. If you want it, gave this one to Odide. You got to come get it, Odira Rides.

[00:19:10]Thanks again.

[00:19:12]So, now what do I do, boys? Do I spend uh $260 for that box and pray it's nothing else that burned the box up or just give up now? You know what boat means? Break out another thousand.
