    Frozen Brakes

    Get a few cans of lube and spray EVERYTHING including the breakaway cable.You dont even have to remove the wheels .Spray thru the wheel vents/slots/holes and spray from the backside.You probably have an empty trailer and if so this is common since no weight is on it .Personally I buy a bunch of...

    What to do about this boat?

    Common sense tells you if the seller tells you "its a cheap fix ,loose wiring" then if that were actually the case he would have fixed it.Bottom line is you are the new owner of this boat for $2000. Caveat Emptor,let the buyer beware.Your boyfriend did not "Beware" Full disclosure on the sellers...

    Yamaha 115 EFI hesitating when opening throttle

    Are you sure you did ALL filters? I would start at the fuel water sep and work my way thru the motor.The filter in the vst would cause that issue.Also check you fuel tank vent for a clog.Charlie

    Suzuki DT55 - Stuck in Forward Gear after Water Impeller Replacement

    Turning one way will lock it in fwd,the opposite way will lock it in rev.You will want to center it from there and be certain the prop moves freely in both directions.No pushing or pulling,just turning.Charlie....oops I just noticed you have a Suzuki,sorry that was for a Yamaha

    2007 Larson 370 Cabrio

    There is plenty you can have checked out while dry docked.Certainly enough for you to consider moving forward.Also a determination can be made if you want to walk away or not.Do all you can now while the market is dull.Price is going to have a lot to do with a decision.No one expects to pay top...

    Brain fart while removing Alpha drive

    Since the drive came off as easy as it did ,I am hoping nothing was damaged.I over grease everything when installing the drive so it always comes off easy.Charlie

    Shrinkwrap gun alternative

    Came across a roll of shrinkwrap cheap.Couldnt pass it up.I am not looking to invest in a shrinkwrap gun as they are pretty expensive for the very few thinks i would use it for.Harbor freight has a pretty inexpensive propane torch which I assume would work.I will try to attach a pic.Anyone have...

    2004 Grand Cherokee stalling/shutting down

    There is an easier access point to the side of the gas pedal from inside the vehicle.Saves a lot of time after removing some console and interior panels.CPS at auto parts store $20-$50 ,Mopar part $140.Got the mopar.No such things as a cheap repair anymore.I should have tried to do it myself
