    Nah , It was a scratch built thing , he was using it to dismantle earthmoving machine hydraulic cylinders but modifying a crescent spanner sure is worth looking into.:)

    Marine Sea Foam

    Why the hell does a bass boat need to do 60mph let alone 80 ? and need 300hp .Anybody doing those speeds around fishing areas here would get their pedigree read to them back at the ramp . To be fair its a nice looking boat and Im all for horsepower, but on a fishing boat .:):unsure:

    Hydraulic cylinder rebuild

    Pin wrenches are one of them things that need to be reasonably stout , any flex will work against you , and you also need to clamp / hold the cylinder really well . You may be better off trying to crack that nut before removing cylinder , and get a bit of garden hose , 2-3 inches long ...

    Nobody fishing?

    Mostly we heat them up somehow😂😂 , sorry. I always fillet them and take the skin off ,some peeps just cut a chunk of flesh out to remove pin bones but I usually pull them out with forceps . I prefer to crumb them and fry in real butter, also tempura batter (bit of corn flour to make it stick...

    Nobody fishing?

    Blue Cod , arguably New Zealands best table fish Legal at 33cm but we dont take them unless they are knockin on 40cm . There is nearly twice the meat for another 7cm , and by that size they are sure to have had at least one breeding cycle .

    2 stroke longevity?

    History would suggest ( particularly in America ) that machines could be made to last longer than the guy working it and at a profit . Now days there are to many freeloaders clipping the ticket , people or organisations injecting themselves into the process and then demanding payment . Im...

    Best Outboard Motor Brands for Reliability and Long-Term Use

    The only bad deal I have had was 2023 new Poozuki 6hp 4 stroke . The dealer insisted on a pre sale service which took 2 days ( silly me , I shouldnt have paid up front ) . Got it home and put it in a tub for a bit of a run prior to hitting the high seas . 1st thing I noticed was that the...

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    Yeah , funny that some knobby gits think they are saving the world but in reality they are putting more demands on coal fired ( we have them here too ) power stations and actually making things worse for the world . I like solar , In my new garden shed its way cheaper ( Yay Temu ) for me to...

    New to me 18 hp Evinrude.

    I would think the coils would be the same for a 9.5 and 18hp , within reason a spark is a spark . The solid copper plug wires are on ebay but I think any good auto sparkie should have some . The idea behind the goo is to provide a bit of dielectric strength just to stop sparks from...

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    Another AI thing is some of the captions on tv where its obvious that AI is converting voice to written when we are told that someone rang "nine hundred and eleven" and not 911 or when the written captions are non sensible , like its miss-heard what was said and then writes what it...
