Help with busted skimmer

The Chefin' Man · 07/18/2007, 11:01 PM

Aright I have to admit I am a jackass at times and I just pulled the mother donkeys tail. I have been working on my stand and canopy for about a month now (when I can do to work). I have had a few days off so I figured I would get this task taken care of before we go out of town again. Well here is the main part: I went to grab the hammer that was right by my octopus nw200 that I was getting ready to set up into my new system. When I grabbed the hammer something happened and it went to the floor. I know you can say it "Jackass" I am still saying it. The collection cup is trashed, the base plate on the bottom of the cup has like 6 or 7 cracks and nice size whole. Is there any one knows where can I get a new one at? Is it impossible to get a new one or do I have to buy a used one if I am lucky? I can Jerry Rig this one but I do not like to Redneck engineer. Thank you for the help.

Glue it back together with Weld-on #16. As long as the riser tube on the collection cup is not damaged, the skimmer should function normally. Besides, you live in Kentucky so you should know all about redneck engineering
