    transducer mounting

    I think so - but it may be like "kissing through a screen" certainly, devices and electronics improve all the time likely depends what you want your transducer to do

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Never put money on the Bills After over a half-century of them being "my team", many ups and (way) downs, I'll not drink that kool-aid again. Considering our professional hockey team's never-won-a championship status too, maybe this City should never win the whole she-bang, maybe it IS our...

    Will a 3.0 run on 1 spark plug???

    I would think - no, not on 1. My guess would be that there was some intermittent electrical connection (as mentioned above) when it was running

    daily music fix

    Why it's called YYZ story is great, Neil is a huge reason I started playing drums (as a kid I thought I'd play his style - ya, right), He was a great writer too, besides the songs, his books are interesting reads too - Ghost Rider comes to mind..

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    at least they still have cheerleaders, do they still get paid the same? of course the "official explanation" is about safety - so nobody can say anything

    winter cover

    Not being familiar with your local weather (and ignoring the freezing considerations here), IMO you want to be sure everything drains well, no liquid or solid material builds-up. And try to minimize the potential for critters to want to live (and eat) in there.

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    That was one of my father-in-law's (RIP) oft-used expressions (our Family has been Buffalo sports fans (ya, even the Braves) for a long time). Thanks for reminding me of that Great Man! Not so much thanks for reminding me how much that expression fits for Buffalo sports teams PS - if you're...

    Intro and question

    +1 on Mr. D's suggestions (I think he meant gear oil, not fuel) - going thru and cleaning up all electrical connections is good to do for many reasons, plus you get familiar with your machine

    Will this tube "blow" my engine

    Having done a lot of tubing and pulling tubers over about a 1/2 century, agree with the above. Which tube, prop, etc you use will depend on the tuber and what they're looking for. As things have progressed from the old car/truck inner tubes, and the smaller "tubes", they got bigger and...

    try to restart it?

    So, don't even try to start it briefly in the slip now? I suspect the oil pump gave it up while out, or almost did, generating high engine temps. Does an oil pump operate in an all-or-nothing fashion?

    try to restart it?

    The GM 350 style long-block that we put in as a re-power has running well for almost 10 years. Last week it shut-down after being fueled-up, run on plane, then running just above idle. It re-started after a few minutes, but I headed back towards down-river, and to the slip. Was running OK...

    Why I do not have new boats.

    I like curves, and your description of a bathtub curve. After re-powering our boat for the Niagara River, Lake Erie, etc and enjoying what sounds like the middle part of that curve for about 10 years - it seems like we might be getting to a final part of such a curve (and focus on our other...

    Electric boat maker shutters plant in WV

    Interesting article - "The open house showcased the manufacturing steps of the zero-emissions boats, starting with the raw materials and ending with the finished products." yep, trying to convince people with short-sighted "reasons" - they really should stop saying that, it's not true, not the...

    Need new plug

    water level outside the boat is where it should be and that water level is lower than the subject location of the plug on the exhaust manifold - pic will still not post

    Need new plug

    I'm guessing that's OK/best to do with boat in slip, engine cold/not running. Correct?

    Need new plug

    Thank you. Wish I could get the pic uploaded - there's a very short piece of closed-end hose on there attached to the end of manifold with a band-clamp. And that rubber stop is now slowly leaking - seems like it was just a barn-job, and a threaded metal-plug should have been put in there...

    agreed, especially on the laws of physics (nothing is free) on the court order, etc - makes me wonder how much $leverage$ the existing power-selling companies have

    Why I'm nervous boating at night...

    to me, that's a docking rule any time of day (or night)
