    Staying warm on boat in the winter

    Been there !! Done that!! Christmas boat parade is pretty big here on Long Island and we participated in it once. My 1st advice to you is to get a slip with shore power to view the parade from your boat and plug in a heater and stay right there and you get to view the entire parade as it...

    Hi guys, so I have agreements and disagreements on this topic. Kudos to Lou!! I use the same Topsider pump for over 20 years and it works quite well as long as the motor is fully warmed up and oil is hot. When oil in pan is just about empty and Topsider is losing suction due to almost no oil...

    Anyone fly Frontier Airlines? Nickel and Dime ya Airlines?

    Considering flying Frontier from Fla to Ny in Feb because Southwest does not have any direct flights and no flights are under $200 pp one way. Frontier airlines had direct flights at too low to believe prices of $39 pp one way. After that you literally pay for every step you take.Pay for...

    Mercury outboard blowing steam

    In damp or humid weather the exhaust may seem like steam but is just warm exhaust.Steam is something that is going to be very hot to the touch and simply means that water circulation is compromised.Put your hand by the exhaust ports and if it is hot enough to burn your hand then you are correct...

    Fuel water Separators ,Why not universal fit?????

    I have always had the oil filter style of fuel/water separator on each and every one of my boats. Quite a few are interchangeable however WHY make them different .They are all about the same size and they all do the same thing.So why did I just buy "fits Mercruiser and Mercury" Quicksilver...
