    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    it's a tool....for some it's becoming an emotional crutch. For crooks, it's enabling warp speed data theft attempts.

    I should add a 2nd battery...

    I have the acr which sends a charge to the battery that's weakest. I also have a 2 flat solar chargers mounted on the rear left of the pontoon, one for each battery. No way to tell if they actually make a difference, but I've owned the boat since 2016-17 and haven't had a dead battery problem...

    I should add a 2nd battery...

    is a 24' pontoon considered a medium boat? 🤔 anyway, I added a second battery, a selector and an acr. It was simple, and appears to be working well after 3+ years. Also cleaned up the rats nest factory wiring in the console.

    You have to account for the MRSP of a 2013 camry LE compared to the MSRP of the camry hybrid LE. Maintenance cost might have saved a little, hard to compare. It's total savings that are important. So, using your #, I only saved around $900. I calculated more.....and took a gamble on the...

    the camry hybrid was/is a great car. Was just required by inspection ( they're honest) to replace all rotors and front pads (i did all) last year. It had 153,000+ miles when sold to my son last week. People might be surprised, though, as to how much money I really saved. Not as much as one would...

    aluminum prop comparison

    Responding to your original post. You could get the same blade/diameter/pitch prop from different manufacturers and get different results. The reverse is true also. I have 3 different props from 2 manufacturers that all gave the same #'s. propping can get expensive. From all you've said...

    Bravo 3 Prop selection - other options?

    you're not looking at your buddy's data properly. It's not speed that determines the correct prop, it's WOT rpm's along with the engine's rpm limits. What is your buddy's rpm @WOT ? That's the important question we're trying to get you to understand.

    well, took delivery of my 2025 toyota. First car ever with the lane monitoring, distance monitoring, auto braking...etc. Didn't like it. I have always driven using "racing" techniques such as apex recognition in curves....no, not talking speeding or recklessness.... And if you read the manual...

    especially teens, pre-teens. Their brains are malleable and their decision making capability and emotional stability varies from day to day. And they grow up needing that instant device gratification, unless the parents are smart enough to limit that exposure. sad.

    eh, agree with the first sentence......but not with the last paragraph, as earlier reasons by others and me. All of that tells the mother with the "baby onboard" sticker that she doesn't have to pay attention, so she can text on her phone while speeding in the fast lane with that kid in the car seat

    Ironic concerning the last few posts. unfortunately, we are too far down this disposable rabbit hole to change it. Drove home from essex Md. last night to harrisburg, pa. and counted a minimum of 10 cars, one 18 wheeler with no lights on. I can tell you as fact that "no lights" driving was rare...

    AMEN....and...AMEN. Although my job required multi-tasking in some critical situations, and I wasn't bad at it, my opinion is that no one can text and drive.

    Trailer bearing blowout. Need help with repair(s)

    too many different subjects in this thread for me to list my opinions and stories. Suffice it to say maintenance is top priority. I haven't suffered a major failure, but I don't trailer long distances. I like and do rely on my Karavan trailer's sure lube system. Wheels are spun once a year for...
