If you do use zip ties, get the ones made for round lines.

I agr with the ads. Even when they go side by side, they should make the ads smaller than the race. I watched the whole thing but it’s not as good as the old school stuff. I like that the drivers are much safer than in the past but it’s still not the same.
When I got my 99 jeep grand cherokee, It had little pony stickers all over it. Just so you know, those are gone and now has gun stickers on it! Got stuck in deep snow once but no little ducks fell out!!
You did ask for just the valve cover gaskets. But I personally don’t think it’s a 950 dollar job. Some are a bugger to get to so take my comment with a grain of salt. Usually when I do a repair I clean up the motor and look for any thing else that could be an issue and inform the client what is...
Mine lives in my inside pocket of my winter jackets, in the summer it lives in a shoulder holster under my shirt. It’s with me always. Of course I have a cc license for those of you that are wondering.
Removing and installing a gimble isn't that hard. As far as testing the drive, usually I drain it, install the pressure tester and then proceed to do other work on the boat and taking a look at the tester when I can. It should not take 4 hours unless you run into problems. We also vacuum test...
You pumped it 4 times. That is a fair amount of fuel. Probably slightly flooded it. The air filter is called a spark arrester. It's to help stop the flaming thing you had. If the hood was closed it makes a potential for blowing up! I've seen it happen. If any of mine don't start with one pump I...
Scan while running. After you shut it off the actually get hotter due to no circulation, it's called heat soak. As far as the head gasket, as long as both surfaces are completely flat it doesn't need any sealant. Scan in several places around the powerhead, that will tell you about the different...
Had one at the shop that did that. It was the beeper itself that was shorted. New beeper solved the issue. I don’t actually know why it received the signal but it’s been fine since then.
I’ve seen ones that were purchased in winter with the expectation that they would go boating in the spring. But upon thawing out they find out that the transom and stringers are rotted away and it wasn’t found as everything was frozen.
That bottom piece looks compromised to me. At this point I would replace that, make the plywood go further down and it’ll be much stronger. Adding a knee brace would be appropriate also.
Well, the charge is hooked to 120 volts. I’m not sure why it’s on the negative side unless you accidentally hooked it up backwards and fired it up. I’ve seen them like that also. I looked it up: Edit
A boat battery charger has fuses on the negative cable to protect the wiring from overcurrent...
