JamesVee Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I didn't get a chance to use our boat last summer because I spent the majority of it in Africa. So it has been well over a year since our boat has been used. It's been in the shed, with our corn supply...and mice. I was giving the motor a once-over and while checking the transparent oil level on the front motor cover all I could see was corn! Opened 'er up and after cleaning for a long time revealed about 30#'s of corn and one mouse. my dad assessing the damages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldawg Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Re: Got Corn!? That's about how my mom's Sportsman 500 ATV looked last year after my brother left some corn in her garage from baiting. We started it up, and it was vibrating , and rattling. The mice had packed it full around the chain, and other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Re: Got Corn!? Had a nest of mice in my riding mower and didn't know it till I started it and baby mice and momma come flying out from the motor. Should have been one fat mouse living there in yours!

JamesVee Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Got Corn!? not that night I didn't. Had to make sure the motor was clean and the wiring was good. I did run it all day yesterday and it worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Got Corn!? That's creepy! Did it mess up your motor? I had a field mouse building a nest in the water resevoir in my NEW Ford F-150 a couple of years ago. She was not in it, but on top of it. Had even stashed some dog food pellets that she had stolen in there with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
