I know... I only post when I have a problem. This happened two weeks ago.
The bolt on the front outer piling holding the boat lift cradle pulley sheared right off and the boat went in the drink. Photos of the boat, the bolts, and some telltale corrosion streaks are stored at the links below. www.thespaceexplorers.com/corrodedbolts3.jpg (boat in water) www.thespaceexplorers.com/corrodedbolts1.jpg (3/4 galv. bolts corroded away to nothing) www.thespaceexplorers.com/corrodedbolts2.jpg (bolt rust stains on pulley housing) OK. So my question is.......... is there any way to diagnose a galvanized bolts integrity before it rusts through like this again? I can't seem to find my portable X-ray machine. I also can't quite figure out how to do a simple swapout on the other three. I don't know anybody who swaps their lift bolts out every few years! Chuck |
