    Going electric vs marinas

    That holds true today but won't stay that way for long. I pay 99.6 cents per gallon of diesel for my pickup in state and federal fuel taxes that are supposed to keep up the roads here in Pennsylvania. When fuel sales start to dwindle I foresee a mileage tax in the near future. The same goes...

    2008 Four winns funship sink

    Check also with RV suppliers. A lot of those types of things are used in both boats and RVs.

    Tying to dock/reaching it

    Like every else has said it will get better with practice. Ninety eight percent of the time I am by myself but where I launch the ramp has a finger pier on each side. Make friends with the wind. If you can dock on either side of a pier dock on the up wind side. Aim for a spot a few (or many...

    logging

    Problem fixed. I wasn't logging off on my laptop, just closing the lid. Logged off on the laptop and the office computers work OK. Now to retrain my 82 year old brain to remember to logoff before I go downstairs to the office. Thanks GA.

    logging

    I am having the same problem on my computer with windows 10. My 15 year old Dell laptop running Linux remembers me fine with Linux.

    Tachometer recommendation

    My choice woud be a decent anaog unit with the pigtail to plug into yourcontrol box. Installation would be a breeze. If it is a one time use to set up for a different prop then you could get by with a cheapo digital read out induction type. An analog tach is easier to monitor and would set...

    Smallest Outboard Motor

    I still have the first 049 Cox I bought years ago. Someday my widow will be thankful for me being a hoarder.

    Smallest Outboard Motor

    There was a recent post asking how old an outboard someone has. How about what is the smallest. This one I bought new in about 1953 or so for around $3.50 to put on a wood model of a Chriscraft cruiser I built from a kit. A pricey sum back then for a lad who had just entered his teens. It...

    Tracker Rubber Seal in Transom Aluminum Boat

    That is basically a way to keep water from the splash well out of the boat. Since the splash well has scuppers to drain standing water that rubber is designed to deflect spray away. If it was mine and I was really worried about it I might daub something like like liquid electrical tape on the...

    Carb Cleaning with "white gas"?

    Can't believe that there is someone else my age still living and knows of white gas. I was a pump jockey at an Amoco station in the mid-50's and white gas was Amoco's stock in trade. Nothing more than regular gas with the aromatics removed thus the clear color. Worked great in Coleman stoves...

    90hp Nissian won't open up

    Wild guesses but since the difference was only when the engine was tilted one of the carbs might have a float hanging up. What is the condition of the hose from the tank to the motor? Perhaps it is kinking with the motor down or the inner hose liner is shot and not getting enough flow until...

    1971 Glastron V156

    Can't tell you a lot without looking at what you have. If it is a rack and pinion helm it might just have been installed upside down.

    How many boats is enough?

    Having been the proud owner of both a Healy 3000 and a Sprite about 45 years ago you will find that if you can keep yours running right working on your boat will be a piece of cake.
