    Mercury Tempest, Turning Point Mach 3 or Michigan Wheel Apollo?

    Not saying the raker is not a good prop. (If what I said got misinterpreted, just that there have been updates made to others in the last... 40 years now?) The enertia is excellent, just didn't run well on my hull. I even stepped up to a 21p to try and pull it down a bit to behave like others I...

    Mercury Tempest, Turning Point Mach 3 or Michigan Wheel Apollo?

    The rakers were really good props back in the day. Obviously technology has advanced since then.

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Gelcoat is just good resin... ie what the rest of the boat is built with. I'd gelcoat then prep the area for the transducer and epoxy it over it. Imo it will look better that way as well

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    There's 5 tons worth of chlorine gas/liquid sitting adjacent to my office at work. I'm far more concerned about the yo-yo mixing whatever is in the cleaning closet at the end of the hall together and killing me by coming up with some new "special" cleaner than those things... Leak detection for...

    Walking on a flat surface is severely underrated in my opinion

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    How was working with the 1808? My understanding is it is more like a woven/csm layup vs the 1708 at its 45 degrees...

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    Liquid sodium hypo. The granular (and cal hypo) for that matter can take you much higher but you really don't need much. For liquid outside of some special lab solutions you probably won't find much higher than 15% anyway. Most industrial grades are in that range. The generators on saltwater...

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    I've taken some out of the eductors at work for... uh... "work related" cleanup. (If it happens in the parking lot, it's work related.) :LOL: keep in mind that would be hypochlorous and at a way higher concentration that what you could get off the shelf. I've also used pool shock from my...

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    I've worked some miracles with spray 9. The starbrite stuff is good too. Vinegar works, simple green works... like pretty much any mild cleaner works honestly.

    Forgot the photos of the whole spread: Savages went hard. It was a good time. She ugly cried alot with happiness. For anyone with a BJs nearby, the 3 foots are 39$ a pop. They're stacked nicely and use fair quality and tasting cold cuts. Was pleasantly surprised. For comparison my favorite...

    was thinking of changing over to a Delco EST system from points....

    From what I've read (been keeping this in the back of my mind for when my TB V eventually dies) the sierra module has a higher failure rate. The GM module is NLA though so you kind of have to take the gamble if you want electronic... points are fine imo.

    2025 Splash of the Year Nominations!

    I'm fine with doing the full 3. Restos have been light lately and if joe doesn't want to win by default the extra few days may help that! :LOL:

    I agree. It always brings people together. And has bridged the gap between blue and white collar for sure. There's a random cake, brisket, cookies whatever in the break room everyone is always in a better mood and they all get talking about it. The plant favorite is crumb cake. I've brought in 3...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I have a marine supply place nearby that has materials if needed in a pinch. (1708, woven, CSM, poly, vinyl and epoxy.) Prices were a little higher but if I needed it that day, I had it. About a 45 minute ride from the house each way. Speedy tanks (Atlantic coastal) is about 10 minutes from...

    2000’s Bayliner 175 I/O

    My dog house has about 2 inches of insulated foam on it. You cracked it open while running and it was really really loud. I think the problem was the space behind it on the back panel acted as a resonator of sorts and made it worse. It also pushed mine around 35 on average... cool fall day when...

    When boating, always ___________________

    When I redid the boat I was going to rerig the control box to one with a kill switch. I just couldn't find one with an esthetic that fit with everything else. And it is still buttery smooth so I don't really see the need to bother. I too have never had a close call but an extra layer of safety...

    Thanks sir. Party is at 3. :LOL: The brisket was actually taken to work for a friday cook out last week (I made a second yesterday but wanted a test audience for my first ever brisket) the company said, and I quote "we like really like her birthday." Since I always do test batches to bring in...
