    Just cant figure this out...

    SAE J1527- A1 designed for use under decks and in enclosed areas. Its large diameter and stiffness makes it cumbersome for use with a primer bulb. SAE J1527- B1 is specially designed for outboard use. It's smaller in diameter and much more flexible than A1. Works well for the flexiable run...

    Crazy happening in My area,.....

    I’m a steel guy, but it’s not so good for coastal construction. The Chesapeake Bay bridge in Annapolis has been under continuous maintenance (sand blast and paint) for as long as I can remember. All the new bridges I’ve seen built in the past 10 years or so are precast and cast in place...

    2020 150hp possible fuel related issue

    Make and model of outboard? Most modern outboards have fuel moisture sensing to alarm for water in the fuel Ok, let step back a bit….the motor ran well up until the time you changed the fuel filter. Now the motor hesitates upon acceleration? If you put the two together, the obvious concern...

    Just cant figure this out...

    Be careful with fuel lines from auto parts stores...been burned a couple of times before I started digging into things For example... the Dayco hose marketed at a number of auto parts stores as 30R7 fuel line" is in fact "not suitable for gasoline/oil mixed and alcohol blended fuels" per the...

    non alcoholic beer

    Didn’t know gluten free beer was a thing until a couple of weeks ago. Friends brought a 6 pack of Peak IPA over to share at the pool. Not bad with a ABV of 7.1%

    non alcoholic beer

    Depends on the definition. “Recreational” is only used to differentiate between recreational and medical use. Does a State become “recreational” when it allows possession by the general public or when the State opens its dispensaries to the public without a “medical” card, which we all know...

    non alcoholic beer

    Its made with Delta 9, less than 0.3%, which is legal by fed standards, for now. Ironically, Virginia a recreational State, just pasted a law to restricting Delta 9 to 2 milligrams total per package. In this scenario, you can possess a joint but not a bottle of Willies

    Stuck oil filter

    The oil filters on both the tractors and the zero turn don't have enough room to "swing" a strap or band wrench. Ended up going with filter cap wrenches

    non alcoholic beer

    Could never figure out the non-alcoholic beer and caffeine free coffee thing. Why bother? Used to drink a case or two of Yuengling a weekend just working around the house. Wasn't getting anywhere except fat…..switched over to high alcohol content IPAs and seltzers, i.e. High Noons and lost #20...

    Extra Bilge Pump

    Missed 1/2 box of squid in the bait well on day. Found it the next weekend… I bet putrified squid stuck in the screen in the base of the bilge pump would smell just as good after a week or so…lol First accessory I installed was a 4 gpm, 60 psi washdown system. Hooked up to a cockpit shower and...

    Bad 2 cycle oil from amazon

    Me too… but that wasn’t the case. Some claimed (THT) it was burning off carbon deposits and it would get better as time went on. The smell was weird. A chemical smell. Guessing that is why fuel and 2 stroke oil fragrances are gaining in popularity...

    Extra Bilge Pump

    The obvious question…why carry a wired bilge pump and length of hose around in your dry bag when you could simply install the pump in the hull proper and call it good?
