    Shift Rod adjustment

    On my 2001 90 hp 2 stroke, my shift rod seems too short. When I first bought the boat I wanted to change out the water pump. However, I couldn't get the shift rod to release from the linkage under the powerhead. Since it was my first outboard, I got the help of a mobile mechanic. He had to...

    Adding an axle

    I found a deal on a used pontoon bunk style trailer with a single axle with brakes. The owner is using it for his 22' pontoon.

She is commuting to school and work and it's costing her 400/month to get around in her current vehicle, '96 grand cherokee awd V8, 15 mpg:eek:, but a good reliable suv. To make it worth buying a different car, I figure she needs to double...
