    Don't have any little ones anymore, but when we did, our bedroom door was always locked unless my wife or I were in there. There are a number of items or methods to keep guns away from kids nowadays. But I always kept there curiosity satisfied all the while they were growing up. Education is...

    Towing Boston Whaler 130 with Honda CRV

    Don't add weight to get the needed tongue weight, instead, adjust the boat position further forward, or move the axle rearward to get the proper tongue weight. Unless your going cross country you will be fine with your CRV. We have owned a few over the years, great vehicles and will easily...

    Gun Safe

    I get better insurance rates having a good gun safe, not only for guns but keeping valuables in general. Bolt it down or bolt thru the back so it can't be tipped.

    Gun Safe

    Hard to beat the TSC prices for the quality...my only recommendation is to stay away from the electronic push button locks. I highly recommend the dial type lock only. A very good friend is a locksmith and stated, "give me a nine volt battery and two pieces of wire and I can open an electric...

    J200 - Damaged Crankshaft/Flywheel Nut Threads

    Sounds like to much work, once you get the correct thread size buy a threading die, not very expensive and just chase the existing threads. A thread pitch gage and a threading die together will give you change from a 20 dollar bill.

    I would spend the money on a good marine surveyor, way to many things to hide without one !!

    J200 - Damaged Crankshaft/Flywheel Nut Threads

    Looks like someone pounded on the end...any machine shop should have a thread pitch gage to measure it for you. Actually they are not expensive, you might buy your own to have one on hand.

    Hybrid Vehicles

    It is all politics being pushed by gov't to create more jobs and spend more money. Round here permits for windmills are very expensive, while permits for solar are much cheaper even though they take up far more land space. It just shows how much the local gov't is supporting the three very...

    Fuel question(s)

    Also, if you have an older motor, do as recommended and replace all fuel lines/ hoses with ethanol rated lines. When E fuels were first introduced it was highly recommended to replace existing hoses to alcohol rated hoses and add extra fuel filters to catch or trap all the crud that the alcohol...

    Third battery

    Typically, there is one battery for engine starting ( one for each engine if duals) then a house battery to run onboard electric use. Many folks use two deep cycle house batteries for over nite or large electrical draws like lights and radios and refridgerators. Single or dual engines ??

    Hybrid Vehicles

    Yes, hybrids are far better, however....the batteries are still very environment unfriendly to produce ! Lithium is very costly to mine and it takes large fuel guzzling heavy machinery to get it and even more fossil fuels to process it.
