    Need help on placement of water temperature sensor!

    Unable to find the sensor next to the plug and assuming its a water temp switch maybe, if this is the case then I would believe a analog sensor could be installed. To verify remove plug and see if water comes out with motor running. Don't know the serial number

    Need to resurface a cement stoop

    Have not done it but maybe my comment will bring in others. Looks like proper prep is needed and then a good bonding agent is needed to bond old to knew. Probably just like paint, its the prep that matters most. Another method could always be epoxy coating mixed with color and sand maybe

    Potential Purchase of a Rinker.. Thoughts?

    Owners talk is always cheap and my be 100% true but don't let the grin start before looking close. I would have no issue with a well maintained boat that old. My Rinker is 25 years old and solid because it stays on the trailer.

    Potential Purchase of a Rinker.. Thoughts?

    Wait for a bit warmer day, it may show up in another week or so. Sounds like the owner has no issue with firing it up. Find out if he's also willing to winterize it if you buy. My self I would just pull the plugs, drain the water and haul it home. No water in the block, nothing to freeze...

    I/Os in salt water...

    Sea water pump

    No issue with installing now other then a slight set in the impeller blades. The small amount of set is normally never an issue. Nothing special for restart, just have muffs on with water valve full force ON so impeller does go dry
