    One fuel line to two engines

    I have been running a water sep filter with 2 outlets. A primer bulb on both, going to a 115hp and a 15hp outboard. Have never had one sucked dry of fuel. Even with running the 115 for 45 minutes, the kicker primer bulb stays full and always pops right off. I use OEM rubber bulbs, and they are...

    When boating, always ___________________

    The kill switch on my new motor is also the stop switch. You have to pull the lanyard to stop the engine. Makes it pretty hard to forget, because you have to reconnect the lanyard to start the engine.

    Port, not larboard.

    In my boat, I have to speak in plain English. So, it’s..… Honey, no, turn around, this side.

    Boat value

    Photos and description all showed up. Whats it worth?? For me, not much. A couple grand maybe , if it really fits your needs. Looks like a heavy old boat with a rebuilt engine. And I'm gonna guess it not real fast. What do you plan on using it for?

    Boat value

    No one is going to download that. If you want replies, post the photos properly. But if this is legit, the answer is: it’s worth What someone is willing to pay, based on condition, local market, and time of year.

    After 20 years of lake boating, tried something completely different

    Boated in 51st state, 12' rowboat, canoe, 18' tinny, and 50'ish ferry. Does that count ?

    Mobile home internet

    We have Verizon 5g. Works well with 2 tvs and computer all streaming at once. We supposedly have a weak signal. But it is working well.

    Salt shortage everywhere as of January 1st. Caused by RFK Jr. and Dr Ozzz. Said we consume to much salt , so they quit mining if in September.

    It's Girl Scout cookie season.

    Girl Scouts around here are selling ice cream and popsicles this week. I buy my cookies from the Girl Guides stationed outside Canadian Tire in Thunder Bay, at the end of May.

    Another boring winter day in northern Wisconsin

    I used to do both but.... I got totally bored with ice fishing. Then after going through the ice and having to walk 1.5 miles, I said F it, no more. Used to have great fun on the sled, but eventually blew it up. More of a go fast guy than a trail rider. I work in the cold, don't much want to...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    So you can listen to 11 people talk at the same time, and see 12 things at once, and comprehend what you are seeing and hearing ? You keep telling yourself that. Its been disproved many times. You may be fast at switching between said tasks, but you are not doing them simultaneously. And...

    Keel Guards

    It should be pretty easy and cheap to have a welder attach a patch over the damaged area. Perhaps two plates, one on each side of the keel, finishing it off with a weld down the center. Should give you support and you won’t have to deal with getting a keel guard to stick on the sharp contours...

    My safety tip of the day is...

    been out in 8-9'ers in a 35' sailboat. We were under power as there was no wind, it was the morning after a 2 day storm that passed south of Milwaukee, so we had east wind pounding Milwaukee and making waves. It took a couple days for the waves to die down. We had to move the boat to a...
