    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Yep....my only option is black. Mine has the strap on the circumference of the cover with ratchets to tighten it. First cover I have ever had that uses that method and is a great way to get the cover nice and tight.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Does Chaparral have an OEM cover that fits it? I make my own covers but there is no way I could duplicate the OEM cover that I have for my Cobalt. It fits like a glove. When my current cover wears out, I am buying another Cobalt cover. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion.

    No longer made in USA

    Michigan wheel sells propellers globally. They also have manufacturing globally. Personally, I would have ZERO hesitation buying a Korean manufactured propeller. My Solas props for my Mercruiser Bravo 3 are made in Taiwan...great props. How did this propeller thread get so off topic?

    Show me a better or more unique sounding short block v8 than this wee monster !

    Well that's good. Most people that have those typically never run them in thru hull mode after awhile....especially with small blocks. They sound ok with big blocks...with small blocks they are kinda lame. Not showing my age...just not compensating for something...LOL

    14" trailer wheels with 5/8" holes

    I would do the same. I also have never ever heard of 5/8" studs on a trailer with 5 studs before.

    A good team will actually break the full court press and score easily off of it.

    Charleston? Purdont shouldn't even be a #1 seed. They were 3-4 in their last 7 regular season games or something like that.

    Battery question

    I just replaced a perfectly good 4 1/2 year old battery on my F150 because we go long distances towing with it and I was just being conservative. Sucks being stuck on a trip especially for a battery that is hard to find like my truck battery is.

    Battery question

    On this battery you just replaced, has it ever gone completely dead before? How old was it?

    Battery question

    This is a standard way that a battery fails. It is especially true of batteries that have been accidently fully discharged once or twice. Starting batteries for vehicles have a lot of surface area on their plates. When a battery gets discharged like this, they sulfate which means a coating forms...

    Battery question

    Put the meter on it and try to start it. See what the battery voltage drops to during the start. A fully charged battery with no capacity left will still measure ok with no load. Better yet, buy one of the cheap load testers like they have at Harbor Freight...
