    Using poly resin without glass

    I will preface this with the fact that I am not a professional and this is just based on what I've read and seen others do any my own limited experience working with the stuff... I don't see a major issue with it... I would just do a so called "primer" coat.... The only issue I think you can...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Around the same time as the standardized HIN best of my knowledge

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    One thing I thought about... I have no capacity plate on the boat. Never had one as long as we had it. I'm going to have to reach out to get the exact specs and see if I can get one made.

    Please be safe and don't forget to use your venting blower when fueling.

    While mostly true, I still haven't been told how this one happened. (not a drop spilled by the way and luckily just a fire, no boom) Fire

    Rain needed

    We're also pumped storage so we typically benefit more from the short shots we got. We pumped up about 300 million gallons.

    Our reservoir is officially full as of my last shift.

    Tinkering on the 4.3l this winter...

    One other thing noted I'd have to check... the 4.3 pushrod slots look like they could get pretty tight if I increase the ratio.... Might need to clearance them a tad if I end up using the 1.6 rockers....

    Tinkering on the 4.3l this winter...

    I actually thumbed through tailgunners threads not long before posting this. The hotrodders one seemed to go off on tangent but the iboats one was pretty good though had some gaps. I think somewhere I have a box of the offset keepers for a vortec as well if that does become an issue. But I...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Mine is as well lol. Done in 2003 and still looks new. Mine also suggested it to dad but the snaps were already there.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Taylor allegedly claims my trim is NLA is the problem. I took pictures a while ago and reached out and that was their response. I am hoping to take some measurements and find something close enough so I don't have to care as much... The other issue is the black spacers that hold the glass in the...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    So I've started planning phase 2.... Couple of things on the punch list though some I may make a new thread for just for some better opinions... Also, since we had the photo glitch I may go through and do a condensed version of this thread with all the photos in the right place incase it helps...

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    Agreed.

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    True. But poultry can be weird mainly due to more questionable handling during slaughter and processing when compared to say beef. Though you can get chicken sashimi... I'd pray they handle it right though and I'd never try it.

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    I just do water, but we also have a certified lab and play with a whole bunch of things as far as testing...

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    Eh... I'd speculate brining does relatively little to inactivate pathogenic bacteria considering what we have to do at work to inactivate it. Honestly, seeing how some people handle brines and just cooking in general... I probably wouldn't trust alot of food from just anyone. (And don't)

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    I've been in a few processing facilities... most would probably never eat anything that comes out of there ever again....

    Has anyone used the ready lime (not the brand name) to descale their outboard

    I put it on chips

    Has anyone used the ready lime (not the brand name) to descale their outboard

    I mean technically you get a very very dilute amount of HCl but the reaction heavily favors the reactants. There are much easier ways to make HCl if one was so inclined... The added salt maybe increases ionic strength of the solution a little. Which might help. But you can dissolve a seashell...

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    I've cooked turkey a lot of ways. I think my favorite was a brine then jerk rub on the smoker. I'm at the point now where I think I am fine with the once or twice a year meal on it though.

    Relocating oil filter on a Mercruiser 5.7?

    Not to stray too far off topic... but thinking about it, I probably should've changed the pressure bypass in my road car when I added the oil cooler to the 350... Which actually would explain a lot.... Another winter project.
