    Re: how to check the windings on a three phase motor? Does it actually say 3 phase on the pump? You sure this isn't just a 3 wire pump? Not 3 phase? Red,black and yellow go to a motor control, green is ground for a 3 wire pump. Have a picture of the pump's label? This is typical for the...

    Anyone have these wireless Sonos speakers? I heard Leo Laporte talk about them on his radio show today. They sound pretty like they are pretty awesome...and pricey! They basically are able to play music through your wireless internet. Amazon.com: Sonos: Electronics

    Bunk Setup

    Re: Bunk Setup You should think about side guides. Not the silly poles on the back either. Guides that extend from the stern to forward of the fender. That's what I have on mine.

    Marine Grease or Waterproof Grease

    Re: Marine Grease or Waterproof Grease You mean 400+ right? Add heat generated by disc brakes going down a steep grade and it will get much hotter. Personally, since the grease that is 500? is actually less money than the grease that is 400?, I would go for the 500? one. It is also Aluminum...
