    fishing boat?

    Morning folks. Been thinking. (insert wife cringe here) Love to fish. note I said fish not catch; that is the bonus. I work from home if not travelling so since I've had an I/O for so long now I've missed out on many times when a nice day presents itself and any excuse to pop on to the...

    image hosting site

    I have a photobucket account, but am full up on the free part of it so I need to open another. I like PB for the fact I can email the pics in rather than uploading so but other than that not a great fan - kinda clunky and too many pop-up ads make it past my blocker. Any other suggestions?

    any lawn folks here?

    Put in a pool this winter and brought in 12 loads of dirt. Planted fescue this spring, watering the heck out of it then BAM; within two weeks crabgrass had taken over everything. I figured oh well it's green and not much I can do this year. About 2/3 the yard was 'infected' so about 1/2 acre...

    trailer rehab

    I knew I was going to need new springs based on looking at the port side a couple months ago but due to an unrelated event (all lug nuts half off one wheel one hour into a two hour trip - somebody doesn't like me) I was checking all the wheels and looked at the other side leaf. The front side...

    couple mercruiser questions

    Replaced the spark plugs today; had not done so since I bought the boat (yeah I'm an idiot). Two were only hand tight - When I put the socket on them to 'find' them I was able to not put the ratchet on and just take them out. What performance issues could this cause? Also - I've been stalling...

    Trailer leaf springs

    After reading so much on this forum on how one can die towing/boating/breathing - I was looking over my tandem axle trailer today. Leaf springs 'hooks' (sure not correct term) are hooked at the front but appear to have a bit of room to allow movement in the rear. It looks as though they are...

    fuel

    sheeeeeet. Been having issues with stalling at low RPM. When I bought the boat that had been sitting for a few years I bought 10 inline fuel filters to work thru the crud. Been thru 9 of them. Last time out, because of stalling I checked that and all good. Didn't think about the water/fuel...
