This is what we use, it fans the flame out to cover more area, still have to be careful not to hold it in one place it'll burn through. The harbor freight one does work, we use it to secure the banding along the bottom. It'll do the job for the rest if you keep moving. Once the banding is secure...

That pitting looks serious. I think it best to replace, you have the perfect pattern, possibly someone local could fab one up or send it out to get a duplicate made out of aluminum or plastic .

If you can't fix it yourself, its to old.

Don't know why this is so hard, the tube I use fits the dipstick tube perfectly. No mess no fuss. I don't use the stiff hoses unless absolutely necessary. MITYVAC Fluid Evacuator/Dispenser, Manual - 1XGR7|07201 - Grainger

Someone must have put that spring on there. It may not bother the throttle, but it's never on there from factory.

Went bow hunting. Don't look like any deer in my hunting spot anymore, I think they moved to the lowlands for the winter. Nothing on the cam since last Saturday. Pulled all my equipment.

Did that myself. The shoe looked OK, re-assembled the drive, wouldn't shift correctly. A new shoe fixed it, the bend was real small couldn't really see it.

I never use the dipstick screw on attachment. I went to the hardware store and got clear hose that fits snug on the dipstick tube, stick it on the tube, pump the vaccume tub up , poke a hole in the filter and have a "soda" or two. No mess, no fuss.

What boat? Are you turning on the battery switch when on shore power? Shore power only runs the 110 volt systems. The 12 volt should work either way.

The fittings should be regular pipe. Only use bronze fittings, and they make them to fit pex.

All impeller housings are built like that. It pressurizes the water a touch to get going where it has to go. If the housing was round, you would not need a rubber impeller. It could be just like a circulating pump impeller, but it would not pump water where it needs to go.

What BT said. For a force that is invisible, it can sure make ya jump when you turn it Into lightning !

I'd go with pex. There are alot of boats that have it, but some are I think metric sizes. Its a little more reliable than the old school gray pipe and fitting they used back in the day. Any local hardware should have it. But the thru-hull fitting should be bronze, with a ball valve attached...

Been on lake superior with my 17.5 Larson. Perfect calm day, left my bowcover home. Not a good idea, the wind kicked up about ten miles from home. I was taking water over the bow every other wave. Filled the ski locker full all the way to the bow under the floor. Considered beaching it but got...

I'm going to follow along. Inquiring mind wants to know also.

Please don't use to much red locktite a tiny drop goes a long way. I've had some come in that any amount of heat could not remove without damaging the paint on the ring itself.

There are ones out there that eat seaweed, you could sell it to one of them and cover your cleaning supplies cost's!

Fog can be a real bugger. I was out on our 340 acre lake years ago, we are about five miles from lake superior. Well that day a fog bank rolled in, watched it swallow up peoples docks one by one. Couldn't see shore from the middle where I was out there. Of course no compass as I've been on this...

When pressure checking, wiggle the shift shaft also. That's a common place for leakage, but an easy fix.

Ya know, I forgot to add any stabilizer to mine in the past. All three boats. One sat the entire next year and the other two were used with no problems. The third started fine and ran perfect the second year also, don't worry about it much myself.
