    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    Think of info from a guy who sharpens chains the same as info coming from a forum. Someone is correct and it may not be your first thought. I gree with excess heat will create wear, just not on sharpness, more bar wear Just my opinion

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Appreciate that Bruce, might do that but thinking of trying a simple solution. They make plastic putty knives sort of things. I have a couple hanging on above the bench. Should be able to cut a piece out of it and make a shim (nothing to maybe 1/16) should do it

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Your drawing does not show any fuses/breakers between Bats. So unless they are currently left out, you would need to be there with a wrench to stop it

    No, run in/out with no issues Might have issues reattaching drive, but connect long side then push down until short side lines up Don't fully understand the comment, but in most cases it's not good to fix issues with everything back together

    1976 Starcraft Mariner 21' Layout Changes? (v2)

    Is it you can only reach 4000 rpm then it would be over propped which would lug the motor. If your just cruising at 4000 then this would not be an issue. I hardly ever go above 4000 and can go as high as 6000
