Scrubber Lid

CCR900 · 14th May 2006, 14:06

I packed my scrubber a couple of weeks ago but had to cancel the dive (fisherman blocking the port!) so left the unit packed. I got to do a few hours done this weekend but when I come to undoing the lid it just will not budge, and biy have I tried.

I know that this has been discussed before but can anyone give me a few tips (other than "get some muscle you big whimp").

Many thanks.

I'd say you have a fairly serious problem there. Dont underestimate how much trouble this could give you. My suggestion is that you fix this decisively. Fix one of these to the bow of your boat next time and your port will be yours again. http://www.armamentsales.com/miniguns.htm

Oh, the scrubber head. AP have some changes to make to prevent this. Brent

AP are cool but only make Evos and Inspirations

my little problem is with the Boris!!

My problem is the upper beezle of the two piece outer section of srubber WILL NOT rotate, I know its delrin so is the best solution to stick the who section in the fridge!!! or is it the oven

!?!

Ooops, maybe I should have read which forum this was posted in before replying!!!!
Sorry.
I would still sort out the fishermen though!

Just out of interest, did you back off a 1/4 turn after packing? I've left mine for a couple of weeks before and had no problem.
Have you tried getting someone to lean on the spring loaded plate while you unscrew it?
