For friends, family and the random search engine visitor. This blog started as an experiment in mobile blogging from my Palm TREO 600, 700, Prē, HTC Evo, Samsung 5, Pixel 3, Pixel 6 Pro. Now it serves as a simple repository of favorite activities. Expect bad golf, good fishing, great sailing, eating, drinking, adventure travel, occasional politics and anything else I find interesting along the way including, but not limited to, any of the labels listed here...

Of electric motors and shear pins...

 

A reference post on the misbehaving electric motor for the Tin Can:

Although there is a screw head on the spindle, the screw does not turn.
We removed the prop by turning the nut with vice grips.

Under the prop - twisted fish line and...

... a broken shear pin.
The shear pin is designed to break before the prop or engine when fouled or hitting bottom.

Bob is located between the Hideaway and Tall Timbers. A good guy and a good resource for any engine problems.
He fabricated more pins for us, which seem to work fine.
Extra shear pins are located here.
That is all.
