    Sitting for 5+ years and fires right up

    A 2002 Crownline 6.2 MPI with 152 hours. Boat has been at the same slip for at least 10 years. Been sitting most the time and several years ago it was looking pretty bad, covered with years of tree pollen and crud. Saw the owner on it cleaning it up, and then he left. For the next 5 or more...

    Wife's desktop HD crashed and now I'm looking for a laptop with docking station to replace it. I want to stick with Win 7 so all of her old software can be installed. Stated looking at Dell XPS 9360 and Levono and others, but then thought about the Win 10 issue. Computers keep changing and...

    New WiFi Router

    One of my routers went belly up, it was a Linksys E2500. Need to get another and wonder if anyone has recommendations. Don't do gaming, and top bandwidth is 5MB in this part of the country. The last one worked well until I think the last power on/off.

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    Back in 2015 I picked up a Chrysler 105 Conqueror with a 105 hp OB. Well the OB had a cracked block so could not use it. Frank mentioned before his passing that I should look for a pre 1994 Force 120 hp and swap the cowling. In looking I found what I thought was a 140, but might just be a...

    The Admirals Cadillac (110K miles) thru a P0442, which can be (from what I read) a vacuum leak in the tank, lines, purge valve, vent valve or canister. Jacked the car up and looked all over the place and could find nothing which stood out. First thing to check was the gas cap. Web says the...

    Water Pressure Gauge Tubing

    Will be installing a 40 PSI water pressure gauge on the block this season. Could use the typical 1/8 OD tubing but its typically -5 to 125 degrees F, for ice maker stuff, -5 to 175F for auto stuff, and -60 to 200F for shore D:70 stuff. The shore D:70 is fairly stiff so this probably won't...

    Every year we all read threads about folks having cracked blocks from bad winterizations. With it being so cold for so long I'm thinking the numbers may go up, hoping they do not. In any case Happy New Year and may it be a safe one for you and yours, and there will be no issues come spring

    Chrysler 130

    Keep look for another motor or block to replace my 105. Frank told me I could use a 105 (original) 120 or Force 120 and change my cowling so long as it was before 1994. Found a boat and motor on CL but guy says compression is 132 across the board (skeptical) and its a mid 80's motor. I didn't...
