    SX-A Gear Oil Question

    I would just order the Amsoil marine gear lube. the cheap canadian tire gear lube appears to be nearly 60% higher than my Amsoil pricing. with the customs duties, that would make it still slightly less than the canadian tire price.

    Aluminum transom has had heat distortion

    What is the correct name for this breaker?

    The cable coming from your battery switch is the line. The other goes to the load. What brand of circuit breaker did you buy? The carlings and sea choice have "In" and "load" cast into the housing in really small letters
