|
|
| Just a couple days ago on my boat lift stopped working properly. The belt would slip around one of the pulleys. I tried getting the old pulley off but it was so corrded on wouldn't budge. I called several boat lift building businesses in town and everybody tried to sell me a brand new motor saying the pulley won't come off. It would run somewhere from 250 to 300 bucks. then I talked to Sean at Texas Docks & Decks and he gave me some suggestions for trying to get the pulley off. So I got the old Dremel out and was able to remove the old pulley. And not only did he give me that information he gave me a free pulley to replace the other one. Never tried to sell me a high price motor that I didn't really need. Very honest. I definitely will use him in the future if I need them. |

Good on Sean and the help. Nothing like good PR on a 'FISHING' Board !!!
Ahhhh. The old Dremel...... Ultimate judge in many, many situations. Had a lug nut on my Jeep once that had backed out and it would not get a grip with any wrench. Tried everything I could think of, and ended up cutting it off with about 4 or 5 different Dremel file blades!!! |
