I’m with ya. There are occasional problems, very rare at the ramp parking area of the places I go but nothing to be as paranoid as the OP. We had PETA members let air out of trailer tires a while back. I don’t think I could enjoy boating if I had worry about thieves every trip.

Yep, too deep and you’re screwed. Next time you launch back in nice and easy and keep an eye on when the boat starts to float off. Take note how deep your trailer is at that point. That will let you know about how deep you need to be for loading. Agree with Scott. No need to power load.

Some people

Have you been robbed at the launch before? Maybe talk to some others that park their trailers in the same lots. Might get some good ideas. As a master locksmith I can confidently tell you any lock can be defeated easier than you think, locks that have shackles that fit through a hitch latch are...

Yes click on your avatar and choose account. You should see where it says “ignoring”. Click that and you can see who you’re ignoring. You can un-ignore them.

My buddy a huge Steelers fan is hopeful as well with the picks but is not confident with the QB situation. Will be interesting to see what happens with Wilson and Fields. Would be nice for them to get some stability at QB.

McCarthy is an impressive young man. Good move for Minnesota.

You know,, you might be on to a money maker right there. Not necessarily only a generator but some sort of lithium cell that you can quick transfer the energy into a depleted vehicle. I would think you would be busy depending on your area and you could state your price and get it.

Well the draft is here and gone🥱. Are you liking your local teams picks. I’m a bit puzzled about the eagles taking corners with first 2 picks. They had a need. The first pick makes sense, not so sure about #2. They also took Trotter Jr in the 5th round, could turn out to be a starter first year in.

A hybrid might be kind of the best of both worlds. Not that I would buy one at this point but do know a guy that has a small hybrid KIA SUV. I’ve ridden in the thing, it’s not bad at all and he gets like 40 MPG. No need to plug in those things

😂

We had 15 mechanics at our old shop. Mix of plumbers, electricians, havc, carpenters. 15/20 years ago DeWalt was what everyone used. Till they started putting out junk. Most switched over to Milwaukee, myself and a few others went Makita. When things went lithium, battery troubles were pretty...

I’m in the dark on these newer efi motors. Talked to the local boat repair guy today. Said he doesn’t have the plug in computer to trouble shoot that motor, said mercury has many plug in diagnostic set ups compared to other manufacturers. Also talked to a semi local highly regarded dealer/ shop...

Wow! Bad news

Looking at the service manual it appears this motor has electric fuel pump.

Thanks! Not sure how that would work with EFI? Maybe someone could chime in. I thought these EFI motors are supposed to be easy start and this one does after that initial start.

Nothing?

Electric start. Motor is very stubborn to start initially. Once it starts and I run it. It’ll start right up for the rest of the day. Any ideas where to start. Primer bulb seems to be fine, plugs are good, fuel filter good.

I hear ya. My rash is not a big issue. It’s the internal pain that’s bad, really bad. Deep inside my back and gut. As soon as I get over this and am eligible to get the vaccine I’m getting it, because you can get shingles again. This coming from a guy that’s never even got a flu shot in his...

Not a big fan of all these vaccines and flu shots especially after the Covid fiasco. But if you haven’t got the shingles vaccine you should get it. Stuff ain’t no joke. Last week I had unbearable pain in my abdomen and back. So much so I went the ER. Turns out it was shingles. The doc was able...
