    Lithium Battery?

    I will start the trouble. I have LIFEPO4 battery packs for B & D tools from decades ago ? I always check & recharge them to full power about every 3 or 5 years. If I remember. The perfect ones might drop a few percent between charges. The worst cells are still at 90 % of voltage / power. Mine...

    Bad rectifier or stator??

    My old 1986 Evinrude WILL toss the thermostat flat rubber washer around. So much that the thermostat is held open. Cold running engines is the result. I cured that very long problem by Cleaning the washer side of the thermostat and the surface of the washer. Then lightly and NEATLY applied...

    Frequent gunk in 1994 Honda 9.9 carb

    EXCESSIVLY slow in gear trolling will build up gunky deposits. IF you reduce the trolling motor speed to low ? It will run too cold of a engine condition. Put the trolling speed where it belongs. ALL the fish can catch any trolled bait or lure. Been there and do that.

    Mercruiser 4.3 Engine - empty carb bowl

    I could drain the carburetor bowel easily. Race back to the dock area getting the engine very HOT. Quick slow down and a quick docking. The engine was boiling off the gas in the carb and bilge smelled of gasoline. I now am more intelligent about heat build up in cast iron engines. Thermostat was...

    Replacing transom foam seal

    I would NEVER put any type of glues on any removable surfaces. You may need to reopen the surface again. Large areas to seal ???? Have unbelievable areas that will not separate easily !! Screwed up 1 time with a 4200 type of sealant. A horrible time with electric heaters and 3 of us.
