    1996 Bayliner 1952CN, won't start after winterization - new boat owner

    The flame arrestor is the square cover on top of the carb. It does not need to be on for testing purposes. Just keep your face away from the top of the carb when trying to start it. Not sure what you mean by the aluminum can. Here's a couple of pictures that show what a choke looks like. They...

    1972 glas_ply need help with power tilt lines

    What dubs283 said. Also, it's best to use a good quality flare nut wrench so you don't strip the fittings. Might want to tie a line to the old hose, pull the old hose with the line out and then use the line to pull the new hose in place.

    Is E-10 Fuel Acceptable Early in the Season?

    I've always run E10 all year long. If I think of it I put in non ethanol for the last tank of the year. Often the season ends and I still have E10 in it. Never had any issues. I do put stabilizer in the last tank for good luck.

    Hearing Aids anyone ?

    The issue with masks and the Behind The Ear types takes some getting used to. My tech showed me how to grab the top strap and pull it back a bit and over the ear. That stops them from getting tangled. I still get them tangled on occasion. My phone app can locate with gps a lost aid if I ever...

    Hearing Aids anyone ?

    Costco might be the best value. The only problem with Costco is you might not get quick service if you have trouble. And, as a rule only Costco can service/program them. That may or may not be an issue. I just got a high end pair mostly for tinnitus. Mine are behind the ear, rechargeable and...
