Broke out the polisher today. She cleaned up a little better than before. Not a drastic difference, but got some of the swirls out. Still have a few slightly hazy spots, but this is good enough for now! My arms are tired
Busy weekend, but got a lot done. Finished painting the drive, replaced inner seals on trailer and repacked bearings, installed GPS gauge, polished and waxed the boat, and changed the drive lube.
The drive oil came out blue, and the stuff I could see in the lube monitor was blue as well. I think it was changed in Oct 2016 and then not used until I bought it, but figured I'd change it anyway. There was some sludgy crap in the bottom of the lube monitor, looked like it had previously had some water in the lube and they didn't clean out the monitor. Got that all taken care of.
When I refilled the gear lube I used a pump and pushed the new lube up from the drain plug until it started coming out the upper hole. At that point I put the plug in the upper hole and continued to pump until I saw a little bit in the monitor tank. When I unthreaded the pump fitting from the drain plug hole it spit some lube back out at me that felt like it was under very light pressure, thought that was weird. Once I got the lube up to the upper hole, was I supposed to switch over and pump from there instead of the drain to fill up to the monitor tank?
