    Cotter pin for Prop...Any one will do??

    Gonna need a new cotter pin for my Yamaha outboard. I have a Tractor supply store right down the block. A matching size cotter pin should work..?? Btw,I dropped my pin somewhere and figured I would find it with a magnet...NOPE ,it's not magnetic .Usually means it is stainless..?? Charlie

    Gas Pressure washer "turn off" instructions incorrect??

    Though I bet if I lay the machine on its side and spray the fogging oil I already have in the inlet and outlet, will probably accomplish the same.Charlie

    Gas Pressure washer "turn off" instructions incorrect??

The instructions for turning off seem to be in the wrong order.Manual states step 1 turn off power switch, step 2 turn off fuel, step 3 turn off...

    Home breaker Box panel question .see pic

    Gonna need to pull my Alpha outdrive, no water flow.Thinking its clogged

    Yep plenty of fouling but I use several coats of trilux aerosol into the intake screens of the drive prior to launch. Usually no barnacles in there but who knows, it only takes a few big ones to make trouble.Im going with the mud theory for now till I pull the drive.Charlie
