So are you vacationing on a boat or quarantining? What kind of boat? My nom du plume is from a Grady White Kingfish 254 that I refurbished years ago.
 
I’m working, I run the skiff on a Squid Seiner called Ocean Leader. You’ll find a photo of her just above your comment.

Brainfart. For some reason I thought that was someone else commenting on your thread. :D Much bigger than my old Grady. I bet your little "skiff" is about the size of my old boat.

Yeah the skiff has a 6.8l straight six John Deere. It’s also about the worst boat in the world for just about anything other than it’s purpose of towing the Seiner around in Circles...
 
Spray some Boeshield T-9 inside the frame now that it's free and clear, or use some Frame Saver inside to prevent further rusting.
Thanks! I was gonna ask what y’all would to do in this situation. I’m guessing these things are available on the interwebs, no?

so I tapped on the frame with a rubber mallet and got all the crud out then I sprayed some PB blaster chain lube with Teflon all throughout the tubes and now I am using some goof off to get some of the tar off that’s in random spots all over the frame like this...

We’re doing a Father’s Day ride tomorrow so I figured that would work on the inside until I got the other stuff.

Morro Strand Rat is back together and ready for shakedown part II, tar removed and linseed oil is applied. I also figured out I had set-up the BB wrong so I fixed that and my chain is now in a mostly straight line. Next week I’ll show y’all how to install and remove these types of cranks without purchasing the Profile tool. Oh and another name change perhaps “MS-Rat”???
