    snapped driveshaft Mercury 2011 150 Optimax

    They have hard-cut rev limiters that will kill or significantly stumble the motor until you return to neutral to keep from breaking things. Cryo-treating the shaft will help, however you may start taking out gears

    Best value pre-made fiberglass filler alternative to making Fiberglass PB

    Don't use wax, or you have to sand. Let it tacky for the next layer. That's why boatyard resin and layup resin do not have wax I have used Tigerhair in the past, however one of the fillers is talc. Not good in a marine environment. FGCI has a Tigerhair like filler All fillers with glass...

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    Very simple and easy. Contact ariens for the service manual Separate the drive from the blower housing, flip the drive unit forward. Easier on a bench. Replace the belts while you are in there 28" barely needs 5hp, much less 11. As Dan Ariens said..... Thro snow back to god

    Maintenance on 20 year old VP 3.0 inboard.

    Manual states annual or ever 100 hours to pull the drive, check alignment and u-joints, inspect bellows Other than the standard maintenance, use the boat...don't let it sit. A boat getting 100 - 500 hours a year will outlast a boat getting 5 hours a year

    Steering Gearing - Two Engine steering on a solar cell driven Catamaran.

    nope, just the input into the steering wheel. the orbitrol is a helm and a pump. and the barksdale valve is a zero leakage unit that is figuratively and literally "bullet proof" cant share how I know that.

    Steering Gearing - Two Engine steering on a solar cell driven Catamaran.

    I would control them independently, each with a hydraulic actuator connected to the helm orbitrol. I would then use a barksdale 4-way switch look at Lull telehandler steering. that way you get variable turning, crabbing, opposite lock, etc. depending where the selector switch is.
