My Brother & me built a boat and adapted our Mum's old Washing Machine Motor for an engine.?

Question

It was fantastic espeacially when we put it on a fast spin, talk about 'Zoom Zoom'.The problem however, was when we put it on a 'D' wash. We were up & down that bloody river for 1 1/2 hours before it finished. Has anyone got any ideas on how we can stop?

Answer 1

Unplug the motor.

Answer 2

Best laugh I've had all day. Must have been a long electric flex! Try pulling the plug out, or getting mum to switch it off at the wall socket!

Answer 3

Interestingly, there are old boat designs out there based on using the old gasoline powered maytag engines of the 1930s.

Answer 4

you need to hit the quick wash,
while its re adjusting your weight and reversing the spin,
you can make a jump for it,
try using less fabric softner, its like grade A fuel, what washing powder did you soup it up with, TRY DRIFT, Bold was too much for you to handle

Answer 5

I know exactly what you mean. Even on a "short spin" I have to wait three minutes before I can open the hatch.

Answer 6

I believe that you aren't legally permitted to operate it until you have passed the pilots exam which discloses that you have learned to write and speak "my brother and I' instead of "my brother and me." Good luck!

BTW - to stop hit the reverse spin cycle.

Answer 7

Assuming you are also male, the answer is obvious - you are not qualified to operate this particular equipment.

Suggest you pass control to your mum who has the necessary intelligence and skill required.

Answer 8

A brain transplant is clearly indicated here. Probably with an aardvark.

Answer 9

My mum can work the washing machine.

Answer 10

what i would like to know is where you found a 240 amp outlet on a river???

perhaps you could pull the plug...
