    How do I remove this fuel filter?

    I don't like bending or twisting things too hard... might break 'em! :D The filter is on my 1987 Merc 25hp outboard. The fuel tank from the original owner was full of black yucky stuff. Now I need to get the filter off so that it can be replaced. How best to proceed? Thanks!!

    Found a tin can for me!

    Finally got a boat that I liked. Bought this 1989 Sea Nymph this afternoon and towed it on home. It's a 14.5' v-hull with a working 25hp Mercury hanging on the back. Sweeeeeet! The boat and motor need nothing... everything works. (Although I may change the plugs just for grins.) All I have...

    Windows 7

    The new OS is supposed to come out in 3 weeks. Anybody have firsthand knowledge of how well it works, memory usage, etc.? I'm currently running W2K and it's getting time to be thinking about upgrading. Will I be able to just upgrade or will I have to buy a whole new OS and reformat from the...

    Scrapping a Starcraft

    Got an email from a fella who wants to trade his 22' Starcraft CC for my item. I'm pretty sure the combined boat, motor and trailer weight will be more than I want for my car. Here's his ad.. http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/boa/1393323512.html The guy says if I don't take the trade, that...

    Hey Tampa area Starcraft guys

    Here's a 22 foot center console just posted for free if you buy the rebuilt Mercury 115. It's too big for me, but I wanted to give everyone else a heads up! It's only been listed for an hour. http://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/boa/1381952851.html

    Ever have a jinxed boat?

    Superstition is a long part of nautical history. I've owned 10 boats and one of them was severely jinxed and ended up being destroyed. My current little fishing boat is starting to feel jinxed too... oboy. Anybody else ever have a jinxed boat?

    District 9

    Anyone go see this movie yet? I was thinkin' about it, but after reading some reviews online, I've decided to wait till it comes to video. I don't like spending money on something I wouldn't like. Anyone here have a review of their own?

    Aluminum lovers in Tampa Bay area...

    While sitting in the doctors office this morning, I was reading craigslist on my cellphone and saw this ad for a 21' Sylvan dual console boat. For $600, it might be worth a look for folks around here. http://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/boa/1318658208.html I have no affiliation with the ad, other...

    I dunno...

    I might need to get a classier looking boat to drag behind my new tow vehicle! 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro with twin-turbo V6, 3,300 lb. towing capacity, adjustable ride height (shown UP in pic) and awesome everything! LOL Video of the ride height adjustment from youtube...

    Electronic distress signals

    Anybody know of electronic distress signals that can be used for direct contact to the Coast Guard or other authority? I mean besides EPIRBs and PLBs. My cell phone has GPS location built in, but sometimes I cannot talk at all, so having another way to communicate with potential help would be...

    Sucks to be me right now

    I'm stuck at home. I was trying to get to the store. My Jeep battery is old and needs to be replaced. It goes flat if I don't use the car for a few days. I haven't driven in several days and it died again and just now my battery charger burned up when I was trying to get the engine started...

    Big Free Boat

    Wotta neat old boat!

    Personally, I think this 1961 Pilothouse Motoryacht would make a great liveaboard project boat for a single dude. Neat stuff! And it's only $14k. Cheaper than a house for sure. No - I'm not affiliated with the ad at all... I just think it's neat! http://picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/21208106

    Hurricane season starts today

    We've already had one tropical system, but it stayed offshore. Time to start stocking up on extra canned goods and other hurricane prep items.
