What Work did you do on your Mastercraft Today?

[thatsmrmastercraft]

Removed my starboard Airguide speedometer to repaint the needle and to reseal to keep the water out. Also removed and replaced the steering wheel to properly clean behind it.

What a fun thread!

I'm not sure if this is proper, but I waxed the underside of my baby, 1999 Maristar, Then while i was there waxed the entire trailer...

I conditioned, all the leather, and started her up using a new Pergo Adapter.

I finished her off with a waxing of her butt, to remove the marks and scratches, but they didn't come out llike waxing a car? I used a rotary buffer at #3 speed and oxidation remover. Think i will need some scratch remover.

Looked out my bedroom window to make sure it was still in the lift.

I did the same then took her for a spin, just because. Most of last weekend consisted of helping Creeklife (who lives across the canal) fix the motor in his 190.

after every use I get to work on the vinyl as well as a good wipe down before storage....

The vinyl especially, see this thread: http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...ad.php?t=32239

Wow! Do I see hints of OCD??

Replaced the Raw water impeller last night and 303'd all the vinyl.

I made a "redneck" ballast pump assembly...haven't tried it out yet...but hopefully this weekend. I'm open to suggestions

[MariStar-Man]

haven't tried it out yet.

That looks more like one of those self-pleasure things...

What can I say...Peter Griffen (Family Guy) is my idle...

I think it's safe to say we are all a little touched when it comes to our boats.. I think most Malibu owers are the same. It's got to be a pride in ownership, and that we plopped a few bills down and want that investment to last. What I don't get are the "other" boats that are out there. They seems to be a lower percentage of poeple who give a S%^& about their boats, as I see many boats, only a couple years old, pretty thrashed out on the lake

I've been doing mostly research on this site...

- Potentially re-plumb the lines to my airguide speedometers to remove the equalizer tubes from the system (per this thread: http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...light=airguide). I definitely have a leak or plug somewhere. I am having trouble with the speedos reading different values, the left one is slower to respond than the right and they aren't close to the speed from a GPS (right is about 4-5 mph slow and the left is 8-10 mph slow).

- Trying to troubleshoot why my boat doesn't go faster than 36mph (per GPS). Its an '89 PS 190 with the 351W and a 4-blade OJ prop. I expect something in the 42-44mph range. Seems similar to the issue discussed in this thread (http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...stributor+tach), so will inspect my distributor and timing. Don't believe I have a loss of compression in any cylinder due to the very strong pull out of the hole, but will do compression test in the near future to be sure. Need to do more research to see if there are other threads with similar symptoms. This thread has also been very useful: http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...ad.php?t=11251

- Finding replacement tachometer because mine has corroded and needs to be replaced (it does not register - have verified wiring to the tach).

- Troubleshoot wiring up to bow lights.

I like to have a lot of irons in the fire...

1. Installed tower, but took it back off because I didn't like the way it looked.
2. Waxed cylinders so pistons will move more freely.
3. Applied fresh coat of paint to starter housing.
4. Removed seat skins and replaced foam padding with thinner, sturdier foam to prevent seam cracking.
5. Coated my boat buddy with strawberry-flavored tingling sensation body lotion.

Check to see if a/the springs are broke for the distributor timing advance weights and make sure they are lubricated and moving freely.

Yea right, just like I made sure my trailer tongue could lick anything feminine!
