    Let me correct my response From my post storage yard does have covered spaces with power. They are just 3 times what i pay per month. Sorry in my mind they dont have power compared with monthly cost difference.

    Windmill boat bettery charging

    I keep my boat at a storage yard that does not have power to use. I have to remove them, bring them home charge and take back. Thats why i am looking for different options. Most reliable and capable solution so far is wind generation. With the Dot approving me towing boat with the wind generator...

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    I would go to Lowrance . com Technical support and email them the info you have and the questions. They may take a week or so and a bot may try to help you and respond about different things before you get a person. I assume you bought it used ? If you did you can ask how to re register it so...

My transducer matches yours shape but mine is an upgraded one for my model. Lowrance had me to select HDI L/H. If you...

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    racerone You are way smarter than i am And i got a question for you. Say ncp546 unhooked his hoses at some time from the primer valve and put them back on backwards. Would engine vacuum at a higher rpm be able to open the valve and suck gas constanly into the motor?

    1980 Mercury 150 V6 Fuel Issues

    You are Correct. My thoughts were if its leaking the carb would be empty, so you would not see gas dripping through the hose unless u filled the carbs back up with primer bulb. I would try to blow air through it. I gave several test options.
