    Being a '91, just find some Freeze 12 and convert it back

    1995 Omc 302 replacement to 351 help

    You can bolt a flywheel to any 302. FWIW, 1996-1997 Expolrers and the OBS body style Ford Lightnings got GT40 heads, along with SN95 Mustangs. GT40P came in 1998 and ran to 2002 but were only available on Explorers

    1995 Omc 302 replacement to 351 help

    They are better, as long as you can get manifold/ headers to fit.. If that is the case they are easier to find, as they were used 1998-2002 on Explorers

    1995 Omc 302 replacement to 351 help

    A 1993 1994 or 1995 block works as well. GT40 heads used in Lightnings and 1996 1997 explorer 302

    1995 Omc 302 replacement to 351 help

    Waste of time.. You either need to get a marine 351 cam, the 351W is wider, you may need specific manifolds, not sure about that 100%... All to gain, a few hp, and by a few, I mean by 20-30hp. Now if you really want to do something cool, you can put GT40 heads on a 347 stroker, marine 351W...

    Installing an inverter

    If your operating equipment with chargers/ power adapters it will be fine. The chargers don't like the power, and you will actually be able to hear coil whine if you put your ear up to a plugged in adapter, but it sends clean power out and it does work.. Your Mac charges with USB-C and there...

    1989 vs 2008 4.3 differences

    4.3 has many fairly major differences between those years.. Just going from 1989 to 1993 there were some fairly major improvements.. I think even the intake manifold is different. I know it would be on a 5.7L for sure, which is a Vortec head vs pre vortec difference

    Installing an inverter

    Inverters usually have their own ATC or ATM fuses inside or on the outside. You can wire them direct to battery providing that is true, otherwise you need to fuse them identically to what they are fused for. FWIW I ran 10 gauge for a 400W inverter. 1200w is a lot of current. you better over...

    Tying down a motorcycle for transport

    Nice bike, and yeah I was thinking about doing that, but the trailer was rented. I strapped the cheap HF bike wheel chock in, but I should have gotten the better model. All in all, it worked out

    Tying down a motorcycle for transport

    Yup. It's a little small for me to own ( trailer ) but it worked well and towed well. It was an Ohio Steel trailer which I rented from the big orange store. I think they make them for HD only, as they have "HDR" in the model number and Ohio Steel lists them as Home Depot Rentals.

    Tying down a motorcycle for transport

    I ended up with a different, better bike. The guy with the Suzuki texted me when I was right near his house, that it needed a carb clean and wasn't running right. I didn't even bother looking after that point... I found this one farther away and picked it up today. 2012 V star 250 with 3,100...

    Arrow Glass Manual for starter problems?

    That's a 3.7L. I'm going to guess your a beginner boater and bought that boat unknowing about the engine. Run 12v jumper cable direct to the battery to the starter lug, then provide 12v to the S terminal on the GM starter solenoid.. If that does not spin it over, your going to have to bar the...

    Have looked for weeks with no luck. Hummingbird 797 screw

    the thread is going to be numbered most likely. Lowes, Home depot, your local Ace or whatever will have one that can fit. Should be stainless, but really a regular screw can work too

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    Again, the decking you can use King Starboard but it's $$$, yet available in 4x8 sheets.. Trex decking or plastic dock planks do not belong in a boat. My dad did probably the cheapest fishermans refit he possibly could do to his 1966 Islander which he pulled out of a field. Painted the plywood...

    Tying down a motorcycle for transport

    Run of the mill garden trailer. tie downs on the outside. It's like $35 for me to rent for the day My truck is actually a '21 Ranger and it has the 6' bed. Problem is that it sits much taller than an old Ranger. I'd hate to wreck the truck and the bike if it came off the ramp.

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    Starboard will work, and is a composite but is $$$$$$$$ Properly sealed plywood will last a very long time

    Tying down a motorcycle for transport

    Good friend of mine recently wanted me to buy a motorcycle to ride with her and take the test with, so I found one I could afford and I pick it up tomorrow ( '00 GZ250, I rode dirt bikes 10 years ago but not much else ) I have to rent a trailer as I don't have one, and Uhaul is closed to get a...

    Fueld sender charred up

    years ago we lit my dads boat up quick doing that first start of the season ( on trailer )... I learned how a halon extinguisher worked. Not even a soot mark and it was out in ~10 seconds. sucks that it's production is banned, and thus very expensive

    Boat trailer to utility trailer?

    The one I'm considering has a very short tongue. It's pretty old, not like the Venture trailer I bought for my SC Holiday that has a 6' tongue with the boat being 1'6" under the max length I even have a 2001 EZ Loader with a junk 19' boat sitting on it. I took the boat/ trailer for the trailer...
