    Number four thousand, and thanks.

    I just noticed that my last post was 3999.<br /><br />This would be a good time to thank my colleagues for what I have learned here.<br /><br />Thanks to 12Footer, ODDD1, DHadley, Schematic (where is he, by the way??), Joe Reeves, Bob_VT, and at least a dozen more that I can't think of right now...

    Off topic nuisance threads.

    These trolls are beginning to irritate me. They contribute nothing to knowledge about boats, engines, etc. and start a lot of uneccesary wars.<br /><br />I wish they would go to Forum X, where such nonsense is standard practice and leave us to deal with nautical questions and problems.<br /><br...

    Attwood fuel line alert!

    Just had a new fuel line/bulb leak. Leaked at the clamp on the input side of the bulb.<br /><br />No fun to walk into the garage and find 6 gallons of fuel sloshing about in the bottom of the boat.<br /><br />Came from Wal-Mart. :(

If there is fat it is less great.<br /><br />What cut of...

    Say, Sloopy.

    Please don't be offended, but I am not into idle chit-chat. <br /><br />When I am online I have tasks to do and am usually busy doing them.<br /><br />If you have a question that isn't suitable for the forum, or if you want to give me some useful info I am glad to hear from you.<br /><br...

    JB is back.

    Had a good week. One Musky, a couple of BIG snakes (northern pike), a few hard fighting smallies and enough walleyes to have a walleye broil for my daughter's 46th birthday.

    Did Suzi make the mid 90's "OMC" 4 strokes?

    I just bought a '96 Johnson 10hp 4 stroke engine over the phone.<br /><br />I was under the impression that Suzuki made all 4 strokes marketed by OMC as Johnnys or 'Rudes, but my seller insists that this engine was made by OMC.<br /><br />Anyone know what the truth is? Any experience with these...
