    Strange boat disease strikes.

    A load of rigid top Center Consoles 18 to 25 Length. 1/4 mile from a dealer. On a busy state road. ob and ib. Very depressing to not see the number of them not changing. WE have almost no private or large freighters on the river.

    closed cooling

    Cooling system could cost as much as the complete engine rebuild. Check if the top of the exhaust manifolds will clear engine hatch cover when closed. 3" is not enough space to prevent heat discoloring the cover. All the extra hoses may not clear room walls or items on the walls. Reason for...

    What make and computer system to replace my Windows 10 before October 14 ?

    Well the only real difference in operating the 10 or updated 11 system. Is finding the turn it off button on the screen. :) It took me about 5 minutes to find out how to turn it off. The conversion took about 3 hours. I am in a desolate area with only old wire feeds at a low cost. Best part is...

    Nothing lasts forever

    Yes Boat was coming out of winter storage. Charge battery. Tilt and drain water. 1 second of dry engine idle before taking it off of trailer. Ordered new parts. The decades slip by so easily and quickly. I am lucky that my motors do not need PM. They just keep running.

    Installing a transducer in an aluminum boat

    My fish finders aremost important when I go very shallow to go into flooded ponds. I get the fish by trolling and casting. I like using my experiences on where they should be. I use sonar when I need fish for a senior meal.

    If as soon as you crank the starter motor. That big chokeplate swings WIDE OPEN or more than a 1/4" to 3/8" open. It will cause a LEAN COLD hard to start mixture. If the idle speed and idle mixture have been set with a warmed up engine ? The engine may be too lean and slow to start when cold...

    Unusual Bilge pump power issue

    You can also use the volt meter leads between the battery + post and the pump positive lead connection. It should be almost 0 volts with the pump running. Same type of connections to check between battery negative post and pump negative connection. Post results with pump running.

    Installing a transducer in an aluminum boat

    I have done both ways. I use low cost basic fish finders Humming Birds and Garmin 150 side by side in Aluminum Lowes hull. No problems with both on at same time. Siliconed inside hull. You can mount a transducer in a glass bottom. IF IF there is no double glass bottom with foam between the 2...

    7.4 merc won't start after winter storage

    Does the electric choke close COMPLETELY ? If not. Then you have to do your gasoline squirting to start a cold or cooled off engine. It is possible your float has become stuck in the wide open refill position. Due to gas drying out and refilling of the carb all winter. First step is to get...
