About Me

Our Sailing Hideaway Blog and YouTube videos will remain active. Join the HideAways as we tell, through blog stories and videos, what life really is like on a small, 23' Com Pac sailboat. The joys, thrills and chills of the sailing life, but also what it takes to maintain a boat, trailer and truck. You are just as likely to learn how not to do something correctly as to do it right. That's important too! New! The Hideaways take to the road! Lately, the Hideaways ran aground on the “healthcare reef”. We can no longer sail. Travel with us as we explore the art of “Seeing” expressed in painting storytelling, and videos with tips on how we roll and places we visit. What works and what doesn't. Good places and bad. Should be interesting!

Electrolysis and Your Out Board Motor

Do you tend to leave your lower end in the water?

Here's something to think about:

Electrolysis Damage to Lower End 

Salt water, in particular, with a little stray current and time can be a real pain in your lower end.
Notice the angle of the damage- The motor was not tipped fully out of the water.

Maybe the Top End can be saved
 The only good news here is the top end, the thing with  the electronics and pistons, look pretty good.  Still, this will put a smile on any mechanics face and a frown on the owner's.
