    Boathouse Length vs Boat Length

    That's a good mooring but his slip isn't long enough for the boat. Better keep the fenders.

    This is my guess, the old one was quiet the new one hollering. Did you get a thrust washer?

    2 Fuel Water filters ,2 totally different fuel contents,Fuel pros ,have a look at this

    My thoughts are with Nola Mike. I just think water in the tank settled under one of the pickup tubes but not the other. or one tube may be deeper in the tank.

    I've followed both your threads and you have my admiration regarding the catastrophe your dealing with. I believe the excess grease would end up in the bilge. I have a coupler like that but darn near impossible to get to.

    I don't see how grease from the coupler could get past the gimbal bearing and into the bellows.

    What is the cause of only getting 75% power at full throttle , but 100% with a bit of choke .

    I'm not set up for heavy lifting, heck I don't have a space flat enough to park the trailer where I live. I suppose the engine will be pulled someday but not this year. I'll give the Jb weld a try and hope it holds up for a few years then if I decide I like this boat I have a farmer friend who...

    To fuel filter or not. 3.0

    Been an interesting read. No expert here but I will always have a canister on any boat I own. I'm familiar with what a slug of water does.

    Looks like it's time to get out the old JB weld. I was attempting to install a brass ball valve in the block drain and found the threads stripped in the block. I ran a tap to clean it out but no joy. I can barely get my hand to the area so drilling is out of the question. My plan is to glue a...
