Re: Flushing Gear Housing

The water surrounding the gear case in your tank
won’t let the 105 become warm enough to flow.
A droplight put right next to the gear case may
get it warm enough to flow but it will take a while.
Heat guns can be very useful if you’re going to be
working on these things. My good one quit and I
need one. I have a Harbor Fright close by so I
picked up one of their el-cheap-o’s. It’s made of
plastic and twice as big as it need to be. My old
one was half the size and had a plate where you
could set it down so you didn’t have to hold it.
(Allows you to burn the fingers on both hands
instead of just one.) I have every intent of
replacing it but it’s got to be going on 10 years
now and this el-cheap-o thing still works and I
use it all the time. I think if you decide to get
one you’ll find more use for it than you think.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
