    All 10 speeds work. The difference between 8 and 10 isn't all that much but stir-8 works just fine. 10 is really reserved for whipped cream for me and nothing else. I find it don't need much more than 2 for most things.

    Cylinder 1 was 45psi. Its rolling over backwards. Serial K5ss. Please advise. Yeah. The unit itself is 89 or 91 but they definitely changed the material on the replacement gears. I've been looking at getting a true pro model or gear drive unit. Not like im beating the crap out of it though.

    My area has good dealer service for both, the Volvo parts can be more difficult to get where merc is typically on the shelf for the more oddball things. Finding a sevice center for volvo used to be more difficult and I can say they are more expensive to diy certain things. But in 2025 I don't...

    The sacrificial gear in the drive lasts about 6 months now. The original went 35 years but the replacements aren't as good a quality it seems.

    I baked a crumb cake and fixed the kitchenaid (again).

    gotten one of these?

    I think NJ cuts a break for the commercial and charter guys. Been a long time since I looked at how they break down the code. Its still a scam the way its set up but honestly how the state appropriates most of it's tax revenue is a scam to begin with so it is just what I expect at this point.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I have to say I'm quite spoiled as well. We do exactly what is needed, no more and no less and really do spit out some high quality H2O. We do chloraminate except when we do flushing and free burn the system so you don't end up with a chlorine taste outside that period. We also do lab testing...

    I've been on a few searays (330, 340 and 380) I liked the 340 the least but it really was more layout than anything and it just seemed like a different searay compared to the other two models. I think it was more to do with when it was built though. Fit/finish was fine, it just seemed more...

    We actually have aeration (not pictured) for that reason. They're essentially sieve columns just jetting air through the water. We do also treat surface but at this moment we're only running wells for maintenance on the reservoir for the next few months.

    Towing friends boat damage

    The fact most of the parts are aluminum now (which means manufacturers and insurance can charge more for the repair even if it isn't more difficult to repair or expensive to procure/produce) also doesn't help either. I know book on say the 2500 Chevy tailgate (steel) is a lot cheaper than the...

    Maintenance day: It's funny how much smoother things seem to go when you're the only one here.

    Pinch bolt for the steering arm. Yeah that looks like a pain.

    Laminating (unwaxed) is what you want for the work. You can add wax at the end and make it a finishing resin. I didn't wax anything but the gelcoat around the bilge and cabin on mine as it was going under carpet anyway. I also figured the extra tackiness would help the expanding foam adhear to...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    That's clearer than the other one. Looks like coils and most of the parts are back there. I guess the intakes face backward on those too. Yeah... cluttered for sure.

    Rebuilt my mercarb, now runs awfully

    Just out of curiosity, which mounting gasket did you use? I ask because a lot of the kits come with a thin gasket which I had issues with for a while chasing weird idle and bogs and just poor driving habits. There is a thicker, 3/16 or so mounting gasket that corrected all of that. I don't...

    Nice. Last time I did a pulled pork I did a sous vide for like 40 hours then finished it on the smoker for a few hours... maybe 9 at a low temp? It was years ago now.
