I went through three interstate batteries in one year with my car, all under warranty. Never again! Wallmart battery lasted me 7 years. Done. Also car quest has good batterys.

I’ve pulled when it’s snowing. Not doing that again! Impossible to clean up for storage. But getting it winterized goes fairly well.

I’m a little old school. To me it’s easy to rebuild a carb if need be. But fuel injection is pretty nice too. Had a few opportunities to repair injected Volvos, not to bad to diagnose without having the software or manual's to figure it out. One was running poorly and I even talked to a volvo...

Both use the Chevrolet motor. As far as wich one is good, to me they are fairly equal. I think volvo parts are pricier, but having a boat isn’t really cheap either. Most Volvos have the seawater pumps right out in front of the motor, so easy to change impellers. Mercruiser has the seawater pump...

Tie a thermometer to a stick. Easy peasy!

Motor off, disconnect the battery and turn on the key let sit for an hour or so. Maby turn on a radio or such just to drain any stray voltage. Hook up battry check again

We’ve always called this sync and link around here.

Lost three from last year to this year. Now I have colon cancer, But the last ct scan showed it almost gone. Appointment in Duluth today to scedule getting my colon bag off my chest. Feel pretty darn good from the chemo, better than most they tell me. Still go out on the side by side, and run...

What safety nut?

Did you mark the hub on the prop then run it, and check if the marks still line up? Just grabbing the prop and trying to spin it by hand doesn’t work.

I get that. Weird thing was it would blow the middle cyl.

Not sure, the boss just ordered it and handed it to me. This was 10 years ago at a different shop I used to work at, which is gone now.

It’s on the flywheel center. the ring on the bottom of the taper.

As Scott said. I've used lifecaulk on several and it holds up well.

Had one in the shop, the boss had overhauled it, sold it. It came back blown up again. The middle cylinder both times. He had me tear it down ti investigate, At first I didn't see anything that stood out. As I was re-assembling I was looking at the flywheel and the timing ring didn't look right...

Yes. Disconnect the hard wiring from the devices. Turning off the breakers doesn’t work.

Didn't dig to deep but found this? https://www.bizapedia.com/ny/grassl-glass-boats-inc.html

Weird. Usually find it with the cord itself or a dock pedestal. Could be the boat itself, We have found a common place is a water heater either wired incorrectly or the element is starting to go south even though it still works. To find it you have to actually disconnect the wires from the...

Did you try plugging it in a different spot?
