    Thanks! Can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can get out in my garden and get my boat in the water!

    Nobody fishing?

    Planning on going Ice fishing tomorrow or the next day. Maybe I'll get lucky and have some pictures to post. Haven't been ice fishing in a few years now, but I retired last week, so I got plenty of time now!

    Transom and Stringer Repair Advice

    What I did was not wrap 1708 over the top. At the cut down part for the outboard, I just used PB to level and smooth the top surface off. Its tabbed in to the sides, the stringers and the floor. As well there is a splash well just below the area where the motor mounts thats also tabbed in. That...

    Transom and Stringer Repair Advice

    Wet rotten stringers would add a lot of unnecessary weight, you gone that far, may as well strip her out and rebuild properly.

    Running engine on Trailer.

    I know the manual says not to, but the Yamaha dealership here sent me a video of the motor I eventually bought with the motor being run on the flush outlet. These are certified Yamaha technicians, so I assume they knew what they were doing. That being said, I still use muffs If I start the boat...

    Running engine on Trailer.

    I would think that as long as water gets in there it won't burn up. Water would have to get in there between the vanes from the weight of the water above the pump.

    BRP reveals a new style of outboard, Rotax powered, horizontal crankshaft....

    Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I like my engine above the waterline and where I can see it. I would constantly be so worried about that thing getting flooded with water it would take all the fun out of it!

    Vaping

    Yeah I know, probably a dumb idea, but from what I read it seems pretty harmless and when I smoked, I REALLY liked it, so I figured I can "smoke" now without the health problems, specifically cancer. I might come to regret it.

    Vaping

    Well that is true, but IF it isn't doing any real harm then why would that be a problem. I vape indoors and she says she can't even smell it. I have a sister in law who vapes in her pickup truck when her boyfriend is driving and he doesn't even know! But he is not the sharpest tool in the...

    f90 stalled twice this evening

    I had a look this evening. The water separator was good, no water but the gas I poured into a clear jar did look rather hazy, like maybe fine particles. I'll change the filter. However I did notice that the flexable rubber gas line going into the filter had a sharp bend in it and may have been...

    Vaping

    You wife is definitely better off vaping. The "research" I've done says its relatively low risk, but there are lots of opinions. In the lab where I work we do a lot of lung biopsies and I've seen ones from smokers that literally came out black.

    Vaping

    Not sure if this topic is allowed by the Moderators, but are there any vapors out there? I recently started to use them and I really like them. I used to smoke but quit 20 yrs ago, however I always missed having a smoke. Now I feel like I can smoke without the bad health effects. Any thoughts?
