    Water in gear oil?

    If its an older duo-prop one like mine, the drain plug behind the prop is hard to get the o-ring on without damaging it. I will wait until you come back with a model number. I have trick to put mine on without damaging it. Put electrical tape on the threads and then slide the o-ring over it then...

    That looks better. Is that through one piece or two pieces of vinyl? What does the back look like?

    There is no way those are 4mm stitches. I know that's what the setting is but that's not what you are getting. 4mm would be a little more than 6 stitches per inch. When the stitches are as short as what you are getting, you can have a big problem with them tearing through the vinyl.

    Your stitch length is WAY too short. What machine are you sewing with? It's a walking foot machine right?

    Actually....no need to leave it on once the boat is moving over idle speed. I think that is what you actually meant.

    So if the blower motor is on and it is 100cfm and the engine is 200cfm, that means the in vent has to have 300cfm input. Why not just keep the blower off so that the vent only has to supply the 200cfm for the motor

    Problem with using ink or a marker on foam is that it can bleed thru especially with white vinyl. May take a year though. Marking on the back side of the vinyl is even worse.

    Overhauling old trailer and Greenball Tow Master Load range F ST225/75/R15 tires?

    Another option is the US made Goodyear Endurance. They seem to be easier to find right now. Check Discount Tire which is the same as Americas tire for both Maxxis and the Endurance.

    SX drive water in bellows

    Out of curiosity, how old are your bellows? I make sure I smear some grease on the compression side of the bellows.

    Overhauling old trailer and Greenball Tow Master Load range F ST225/75/R15 tires?

    The Greenball Towmasters are horrible. I had two blow out within 150 miles of eachother. Bought Maxxis to replace them and they have over 5 years on them. Greenball towmasters used to be made in the US by Goodyear. Wonder if they got bad at the same time Goodyear sent their Marathon...

    VolvoPenta 7.4l Carb Rejetting Altitude

    Now that my boat is permanently at 6,200 feet in Lake Tahoe, thinking about rejetting. Reading that I need to drop 1 size jet for every 2,000 feet. My plan was to just pull the jets, see what number all 4 are and reduce by 3 on each one of them. Any flaw in doing it that way or should I do a...
