    Looking for an independent marine mechanic in central Alberta

    a few things. if you find a reputable shop, they wont work on old stuff. too much of a liability, and the bill will exceed the value, so they cant recoup their loss if you dont pay the bill. because old stuff can go sideways very quickly. very few shops will work on anything that is older...

    Electric Trolling Motor Recommendations

    Every # of gear, platforms, etc added to the boat needs to be subtracted from the weight capacity. remember on small boats, the weight capacity is for people, motor, gear, fuel (everything added to a bare hull) For example, a 12 foot alumacraft is rated to only hold 482#. Trolling motor on...

    because consumer reports, pretty lines, electronic screens and soft surfaces sell boats. Common sense is no longer part of the equation. Most people no longer own the boat past the warranty period if they buy new. any maintenance point is a ding on consumer reports. which is why grease...

    Can a ballast resistor be added to a 1988 48 hp ?

    The battery is used as the voltage regulator in most cases. Regardless if it's an old outboard, old moped, or old motorcycle. If you are concerned, turn the radio up.

    Getting ready for the ice and cold in central Texas!

    When mother earth is done with us human parasites...... she will freeze us out or burn us out (depending on the cycle). unfortunately when that happens we will take other species with us. However prior to that, southern Florida will be under water and I will have beach-front property in Florida.
