    Can I buy a trailer online?

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    the pollinators will be dead long before the planet freezes. Not worried about the next cooling cycle as mankind will be done in a much shorter period of time.

    Installing a trolling motor on a 21ft CC

    I would go up under the seats in the front as my first thought. close to the speakers and under the cup holders and back-rest post second location would be under the deck in the front hatch area. would require building a ledge in the hatch area to hold them. the head area is a bit...

    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    the other thing for more power if that is your goal. upgrade the heads to vortec. your boat may be a 1996, however the picture in post 16 is of a 1986-1995 intake (non-vortec). most likely your motor has 1991-1995 swirl port heads if your block is an 880 block, then your motor is a 1995...

    How Can I Prevent Fouled Spark Plugs When Running at Idle for a long time?

    what color are the plugs? white, tan, black? is it fuel fouling or oil fouling? is it running too cold and you are getting condensation? are you suffering from reversion? you should be able to idle for perpetuity unless either your carb is set too rich, your ignition system is not up to...

    Good Ear muffs

    they all leak, and with the hose on high, it should spray about 10 feet from behind the muffs until the motor is started. the quicksilver ones will NOT work on the earlier AQ series drives. they do make Volvo Penta specific muffs. you still need a rubber stopper for the bottom pickup, and...
