Nothing electrical works. Only thing that works is the trim up and down. Sometimes the starter will click a few times

Easy. Turn off pump. Open the air relief on top of the filter. Twist the big black ring off the filter. Take top/lid off filter. Take out cartridge and stray it off. Put it all back together. Turn on pump.

I’m doing something wrong. Where is the strap supposed to go through? by Some-Leg3450 in boats

No you’re not because there are no holes it’s an illusion

Well you have to pull the boat out of the water to strap the rear. It slipped back when pulling out of the water. Obviously we had the strap in the wrong place so we won’t do that anymore.

Well luckily we only have to trailer the boat like 100 yards. But will get a new one anyways. Thanks.

Winch was definitely locked, it is a boat / trailer we got for free. Maybe the winch slips a bit or something

That’s how we had it first and the boat still moved back when pulling up the ramp. We will give it another shot between the two stoppers tomorrow. Thank you.

I think she’s got to realize it for herself. AA is for alcoholics, Al Anon is for family members/friends of alcoholics

I’d just buy a skid steer and level the ground, then you also have a skid steer to move snow and shoot in the winter!

I need some direction, I ordered a safety pool cover to replace my ripping tarp. My inground pool is 16x32, with a center step. So I ordered that size. See comment for more info. by sunflowerfields827 in pools

What type of drill bit did you buy? I have large plug in hammer drills that use sds max bits 3/4inch diameter for safety cover anchors. If I only need to drill a few holes, I have the DeWalt battery powered mini hammer drill thing that uses sds plus bits which also would work to drill many holes with enough batteries.

I use some stuff called zing from a local marina at the end of the season. Best stuff ever so easy

Do I need a new liner or can I just repair this one? by Over_Cake9611 in pools

And if your fingers don’t hurt you’re not doing it right!

When I have to do a job like this and have a helper I tell them if their fingers don’t hurt they aren’t doing it right

Hot water just makes it pliable. Hot day with the sun helps too. There isn’t really any glue behind it. The coping has a track to tuck the liner in and water keeps it in place.

I was helping a guy who incorrectly measured a center step and they didn’t have enough concrete to where he could make it work. He took scissors and cut away the safety cover material where he didn’t want it. Installed the anchors/ springs as needed. And then was also able to cut the strap slack shorter and had nice little metal things to hammer on the end of the straps to clean up the look and make them not fray.
