    Getting the water out of the block after a sea trial?

    Don't know why anyone would need 100W, put a 40W in my bilge one real cold night and opened the hatch to be real toasty with it

    Wheelchair Accessible Resto-mod

    Instead of ordering 1 1/2 I would have used 2 layers of 3/4 glued together. So far as sealing, either wrap in fiberglass or coat with 2 layers of epoxy. Install and drill holes, then remove drill holes larger and fill with Marine-tex or other epoxy. Then re-drill holes to size I don't see an...

    Maybe a thread on stuff to add and not add on Browsers. Have read many times about add blockers and installed UBlock and so far it's been great. For those that go to sites like OSO the add's go off the deep end IMO. After adding UBlock, there all gone. I'm using Fire fox and using its...

    Need help on placement of water temperature sensor!

    Unable to find the sensor next to the plug and assuming its a water temp switch maybe, if this is the case then I would believe a analog sensor could be installed. To verify remove plug and see if water comes out with motor running. Don't know the serial number

    Need to resurface a cement stoop

    Have not done it but maybe my comment will bring in others. Looks like proper prep is needed and then a good bonding agent is needed to bond old to knew. Probably just like paint, its the prep that matters most. Another method could always be epoxy coating mixed with color and sand maybe

    Potential Purchase of a Rinker.. Thoughts?

    Owners talk is always cheap and my be 100% true but don't let the grin start before looking close. I would have no issue with a well maintained boat that old. My Rinker is 25 years old and solid because it stays on the trailer.

    Potential Purchase of a Rinker.. Thoughts?

    Wait for a bit warmer day, it may show up in another week or so. Sounds like the owner has no issue with firing it up. Find out if he's also willing to winterize it if you buy. My self I would just pull the plugs, drain the water and haul it home. No water in the block, nothing to freeze...

    I/Os in salt water...

    IMO silver is used for its conductivity properties, otherwise why not just use the bare copper I bought one years ago because I was having trouble with my drive at fresh water marina
