Did anyone besides me see the online poll about illegals in America a couple of days ago on AOL ? It's kind of odd, that it dissapeared overnight and cannot be searched or retrieved. Yet AOL is saying that another poll says that Americans are OK with illegals. <br />I think it was thursday...
On my way home from work today I heard the tale end of a news story about several ports, in the US that have been bought by the United Arab Emirates. Does anyone know the whole story on this ? Maybe I'm getting excited about nothing, but didn't several of the 911 bombers go through that country...
Working on 1995 Merc 454 inboard with Hurth Trans. The fuel pump is mechanically driven off of the belt-driven raw water pump. What oil is used and what is correct level. Have looked through service manual 16, cannot find answer. Any help would be appreciated.
The promo's and ads for this movie are not clear what it is about. It is about two MEN that fall in love.....with each other! I am not going into gay rights or "lifestyle choices", that can be debated elsewhere. Just want to make sure that anyone who thinks about seeing this movie is Ok with gay...
I've posted this in a few different areas, but felt it belonged here as well. We all talk about our boat problems and repair issues on this board. I just wanted to "drive home" what can happen when a electrical problem turns deadly. <br />Two Nights ago, in my pool on the Ohio river, four...
We all talk about problems with our boats, and what we can do to fix them. Many times on this board we are dealing with boats that loose power, don't start or don't shift. Sometimes we talk about total loss of electrical power on our boats. Two days ago, in my "pool" on the Ohio River, four...
I am helping a friend get his old houseboat running. The engine is a 1963 Chrysler 318 CI straight inboard. HE took the engine apart and has turned it over several times with the distributer out. I have looked all over the harmonic balancer and cannot find any mark, line or anything that would...
I might be preaching to the choir...or not. Have you seen the latest attack against our police? Of course this one is about the LA police who opened fire on an armed man who was shooting at police while holding his baby. I am sorry that a baby got killed, but it is the fathers fault, not the...
This is going to be a long one, please bear with me, any help would be appreciated. Ok, first, this boat is new to me, so I do not have any history to compare to. The symptom, or problem is that the port engine will not produce the same power or top rpm's at WOT. The starboard is hitting 4800...
I just answered another question from someone who was wondering how to troubleshoot or diagnose a battery that was "too hot to touch". I am posting this anywhere I can, and since my experience was with a twin 1991 Mercruiser with 5.7L magnums...I thought this would be appropriate. I almost lost...
I am wondering what the accepted "run time" is before replacement is recomended for the Mercruiser ceramic coated exhaust manifolds ? The engine is a 1999 Merc 7.4L horizon inboard. It has a heat exchanger, however raw water passes through both the manifold and riser. This boat is used in salt...

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the stains left behind by mold and mildew out of a vinyl boat seat or headliner. I have tried all (I think) of the common products like X14, Tilex, starbrite mildew stain remover, outdoor furniture cleaner and even a solution of tsp, bleach and...
