    complete Alpha one Gen one retrofit into older boat.

    Missed the "clamp on" forks I have a set of them which I use on my Terramite. The clamp on type can be dangerous because they can pivot side ways. Maybe put them direct next to each other and clamp them so they are more ridged

    Radon and seal concrete under tub

    In short: Measuring Radon between 4.1 to 4.5 Basement Tub was installed over gravel base. Concrete is all around it and as to why they did it this way is anyone's guess. Have access to drain side of tub and looking for a way to seal under the tub without removing the tub. Think about floor...

    Mercruiser 7.4L MPI Alarm won't stop

    This is what's called a soft alarm. Certain MEFI-3 will set a soft alarm below 3000 RPM and it will go to a hard alarm (constant sound) above 3000 RPM. The MEFI-3 engine’s Audio Warning system will sound the alarm differently and it has more items that will cause it to sound. There is what is...
