    Storing a wood boat with 5200 bottom in desert heat

    My concern is a inner plywood sheeting. Which stretches & shrinks all directions the same amount. Then laying down nice wood planks that shrink and expand in the same direction. Extreme heat or cold ? Fiberglas every time. I would sell it before it is damaged. Buy a all glass boat.

    1960 Evinrude propeller hub replacement

    It is relatively simple process IF you have the tools. Removing a MELTED hub is a very labor intensive process. I did 1. What a frustrating time. I did not realize I had taken almost a hour from start to finish to completely remove the torn and melted hub from both parts. I buy new now.

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    To me it sounds like at WOT speed the water is reduced greatly there. It gets a super hot pocket. The motor slowing down finally causes the water to hit the casting spot causing a thermal shock crack. But only a different manufacturer of the manifold would ever prove something like that.
