    DeLorme P-60 or a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, which would you prefer and why

    I have a chance to pick up either of these units for about the same price and I know very little about them. I'd like to have image satellite views and looks like that's only available on the DeLorme.

    Anyone know YJ's?

    Re: Anyone know YJ's? I haven't had much time to mess with it today but I'll hit it harder tomorrow. This morning I hit the key and the fuel pump pressured up and it started, but no check engine light and the dash was still dead. After shutting it off, it wouldn't start again and the fuel...

    Anyone know YJ's?

    94' YJ 4.0 5-speed, all original, new O2 sensor last July It's been running fine, then I shut it off uptown and now it won't start but still turns over just fine.

    Bump starting an outboard

    The wife and I had noticed a young fellow about 100 yards from us in a 12' aluminum yanking away on the starter rope. While we were reminiscing about being in the same situation about 20 years ago, his rope broke, so we decided to go over and offer him a tow to the dock. Instead of a tow to...

    Plugging holes in transom

    I'm doing away with the starboard side of the swim deck and have eight of these holes to patch, they had 2" lag bolts run into them BTW.
