    Portable electric heater Thermostat jump

    The thermostat within that unit will use mains voltage on the hot leg to switch it on and off like a light switch. What you need to do is cut the connectors off, strip the wires and insert them into a Wago connector... Yes a wire nut wrapped in tape could work too, but I'd use a Wago for that

    1992 Bayliner Classic 15'

    Where do you see 15'? That model should have an ID tag and Brunswick/ Bayliner can assist you as they actually have the records. The Capri 1500 appears to only be 1988/1989 and it's a little over 14.5' LOA.

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Have one of those stores in my home town, although I don't go there often. They sell compound and crossbows and full stock of ammo in their sportsmans section if you can afford their prices. They don't have an FFL so no firearms. Cool store but prices are out there.

    Yup. I only said it because those sites have Makarov. You will likely never see it at a gun shop

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Good deal. When you go ammo shopping online always make sure you get 9mm Luger or 9x19mm. 9x18mm Makarov is sometimes listed as 9mm Makarov. Not always, it's usually sold with it's full dimensions listed where 9x19mm is sold as 9mm with Luger in small print in most cases

    Pretty neat it actually came with a rifle. I had one I got with a bunch of stripper clips that I bought but I gave it away as a birthday gift to someone

    ‘67 evinrude vs 19?? Johnson

    Ski Twin Vs Big Twin is a different motor. The generators may be the same, but brackets likely won't interchange

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    none sell in unissued condition, however there is a batch of Chinese SKS floating around packed in grease with the bayonets for a little under $500. I think Palmetto State Army is the last one with any of the rifles.. Mine is a Norinco imported that was in a plastic stock but it still had the...

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Yup. I generally buy 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R as the 2 rifles I've had the longest is an SKS and a Mosin Nagant 91/30. It's generally in the $8-15 per box of 20 for whatever Russian brand is available. Target Sports USA gets me what I want in a couple days, and the shipping starts at $15, but is...

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    I don't have a 9mm, but I would use CCI Blazer. They make a 124 grain FMJ. I use Target Sports USA. Cheaper shipping and generally better prices and selection than Outdoor Limited. They feed my old Military surplus rifles as cheap as possible, although the 6.5 Carcano I just bought I had to get...

    NEW TIRES!

    Yes, they list all the possible ways to rotate tires, however you really don't want to do a front/ back only rotation unless the tires are directional

    NEW TIRES!

    Cross fronts to the rear and bring the rears straight forward. That puts the tires on every position on the vehicle every 4 rotations.

    Engine Mount Trolling Motors

    Indeed, with the advent of troll modes on modern 4 stroke outboards, Lower unit mounted trolling motors were a niche product for some time and have finally been discontinued for a year or 2 A trolling motor will fit on your transom

    NEW TIRES!

    Just got to keep them rotated. Grabbers are a harder compound and rely on the tread block to give traction, where a Duratrac and others are softer rubber as well as an agressive tread block, so they need rotated more often. Any 4x4 or AWD is going to be hard on tires and require rotations

    NEW TIRES!

    Grabbers are outdated. They 'work' but the performance is easy to surpass. Falken Wildpeak AT3W, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner AT are all tires that will outperform the old Grabber AT2 or the newer ATX

    Visible 360* for 2 miles in clear weather. ~basically that equates to mount it so it's higher than the windshield and it's good enough

    NEW TIRES!

    Tripletreds were discontinued last year. Anything remaining in inventories are old stock. I 'think' that the Assurance Comfort Drive is the successor to that product line. I'd have to log in and check the training materials. I'm a Goodyear Tire advisor through my work

    Slow crank on initial start up

    try turning it by hand before hitting the starter. Eliminate the electrical components. Almost all outboards have manual starting notches. If it's stiff to turn but loosens up, then it's a needle bearing issue most likely.
