    Water in fuel

    Good idea, I had some old solder, so wrapped a few wraps around the end of the line and it seems to keep it low in the tank. When I get all I can out, add another gallon and slosh it around then suck that out. So far so good...

    Water in fuel

    FYI....I picked up a small 12v inline fuel pump off Amazon for 12 bucks, added an inline filter and a couple lengths of fuel line , does a great job of pumping out fuel tanks. Filled a 5 gallon can in about 10 minutes...sure beats siphoning. !!

    Hard to pull

    If it was easier to pull in the past, then you might have an issue. Did you squirt some light oil into the cylinders and then turn it over ?

    Hard to pull

    How strong are you ?....lol...in my younger days, pulling a 40 HP was easy, but at 74....no way. That is why electric start is so popular.. Unless you have a good set of arms, a 40 will be tough to get it spinning fast enough.

    Yep, had a 9.9 on my 22' cuddy and it would push 12 mph at wot. Typically used much less than half throttle for trolling. I currently have a 16' SC with a 2.2 hp kicker, just over 5 mph at wot...

    Winch replacement suggestions

    I would agree on that but on the winch, West won out. Directly from Fulton was 20 bucks higher plus shipping. West had one on the shelf, even has the Fulton stamp on it...Looked at some cheaper import winches, but quality was not as good and savings were small. My winch is great, if cranking...

    Winch replacement suggestions

    At 74 yrs ild, I don't have the cranking power I had when I was younger. I decided to make it easy on my self and bought a Fulton two speed winch for my 1300 lb boat. A simple lever changes speeds and while the low speed is slightly slower, I can crank it up with one finger. It is a well made...

    SeaNymph parts? Need Bow “nosepiece”

    Remove the old one, glue it back together and make a sand cast mold and have a foundry pour a new one. Unlikely you will find another.

    Fuel tank Capacity

    That works great if you can get to the tank for measurements. On my boat, the whole floor would need removed to get dimensions. Thank heaven the ID tag was still there even though I ran mine empty then filled it ....that got me close until I found the tag. I did use the dimensions to get...

    Swim Ladder

    They can be tricky if you have any type dissabilities. They have low weight limits and not steady, ok for kids, but very questionable for bigger adults based on watching others use them.

    Surprise My electric car is not charged.

    We need to wake up and understand, man can't change or stop this climate change no matter how hard we try. Instead of spending billions trying to stop it, we should be using that money to prepare for these changes !! Quit building homes in low lying areas, stop building burnable houses in fire...

    Re-powering a 1978 21' Starcraft Mariner - Engine Help!

    Can't say I remember ever seeing an over 100 hp motor with a short shaft !! Measure carefully as a large motor can make a shaft look shorter than it is..

    Water tank fittings

    I have had good success with tape on plastic fittings. Not sure I would use anything permanent, odds are, you will need to repair/ replace in the future
