    Just bought a Winner Wildcat 1972

    The only way to really test the transom is to drill test holes with a 1/4” bit and check for dry shavings. A boat that old with a rotten floor isn’t going to pass the test. Be prepared for the worst

    What rifle to scope for hunting?

    But you will be on a first name basis with the ATF to do so as well. I was going to get a C&R ( FFL 03 ) but I don’t want to be that close. It doesn’t do much in NY anyway

    Out to lunch Gear Oil Prices

    i think you should consider looking up what you are saying… if you look at the safety data sheets for pretty much anything. You will find exactly what they are made of.. yes marine gear lube contains emulsifiers. And certainly there are different RTVs. Not only is that verifiable, but there are...

    Out to lunch Gear Oil Prices

    Well. Walmart in the USA sells their supertech gear oil in both marine and regular 80w90. The price is not much different but they are different products. Is a few cents worth the chance to me? Nah..For sure regular gear oil will mix with water. That much I know from experience. But I haven’t...

    Out to lunch Gear Oil Prices

    I spent nearly $6000 on my brand new Suzuki DF25A. It needs a gear lube change once per year.. $60 isn’t going to break the bank. I put regular gear oil in a ‘66 Super Seahorse 40 when I knew it leaked, and changed it every time it went in the barrel

    Tire Recommendation, Japanese Sedan

    I wouldn’t go with the Lexani or Forceum tires… go for an Otani cheapie, as they are actually pretty good. Toyo offers a great value right now, and Kumho can but only with their higher end TA11. Kumho Exceta and the others are garbage.

    What rifle to scope for hunting?

    Well. Spanish Mauser in 308 is a re chamber that was done in the 50s. Mosins were made in the millions as well and at one time they were as cheap as $80 each or a crate of them for $500. now they’re pushing $600 each. Modify one and it’s worth $150… looks like a Spanish 308 Mauser starts at $600...

    What rifle to scope for hunting?

    Wouldn’t scope any of the military rifles.. they are what they are more or less and putting a scope on them drastically reduces their value. just buy a 308 Ruger American or a Savage. Sell the Mosin. I bet you bought it when they were cheap. You’ll buy a scope and a gun and money for ammo and...

    Evenrude 20Hp ?

    With the old lower unit, makes it pre 1985 or so. @racerone can identify the decals. Exact year Isn’t critical as they are very much the same 1977-2005? But there are some differences.. it’s got a choke carb and not a primer, as well identifying it as earlier. But they swap so that’s not a tell...

    Tire repair glue ( vulcanizing cement ) from the auto parts store will do what you want.

    Re usable K cups

    I didn’t know sealable k cup’s existed. I get 100 pods for $27 at BJs, but I find traditional Folgers with the reusable tastes better.. thanks guys. Think I’ll try both ideas

    Re usable K cups

    I have a keurig with the dual pot/ k cup system and k cups are getting expensive. I bought one of the replacement chambers that has a screw cap and a basket filter and it works well. I want to have multiple basket filters so that I can pre prep coffee filters to drop in in a Tupperware. does...

    Coffee maker parts

    I came to ask a question about reusable k cup filters. And you post something about a coffee machine 7 mins before. That’s weird lol… My parents had a washing machine made sometime in the 70s, that was only replaced when the agitator was no longer available. It had been replaced a few times...

    283 stalls when engine cover closed

    It happens on outboards when the base gasket is blown. Reduces the amount of oxygen by displacing with an equal amount of co2 from the exhaust. think on a 283 though you could hear the exhaust tick though

    Trailer Wheel

    Depends fwd or rwd. The rim i used, whatever it was for had negative offset and could have used a spacer. But the customer was happy I made it work

    Trailer Wheel

    Yes, however I question the quality of the rim… rims from my suppliers are branded dextar or carslile, and even they are cheaply made
