    Dogs on Board

    Several of us seasonal boaters like to spend our weekends out on the lake. However, we always have to run to the docks at certain intervals so our dogs can do their business. I'm just curious if anyone has found a way to get their dog to do its business onboard. My dog has no problem going on...

    A Good Deed Pays Off

    This morning I got up early on my boat. Water has been slowly going down from it cresting at a tad under 9 feet. Our docks are held in by 2" pipe driven into the lake bottom. At normal level there is about 5 feet sticking up above the dock. However when the water rises above them, there is a...

    Wild River Ride

    The local lake I seasonal dock at is 9' above normal pool. Since the lake was up, this enabled some of us boaters to take a trip up the river that feeds it. At normal pool, only a PWC can make it about a quarter mile up it. However we was able to make it up about 3 miles. We finally had to stop...

    Timber Question

    I have a wooded lot next to my property that the owner is going to have the timeber cut. The buyer of the timber noticed that I have a real nice Black Walnut tree. It is a little over 26" at the base and goes straight up to 50'. Of course at the top, it is probably about 16". He wants me to call...

    1941 Allis Chalmers C model

    I just picked up a "C" model Allis Chalmers for $400 with a single point plow. Its been converted to 12volt and runs great. There was an issue with the hydraulic ram as the seal was leaking. Got the seal repaired, but now it won't move. I pulled the gear case plug out and it appears that the...

    Spark Plug Wire ?'

    On electronic ignition (Thunderbolt IV) will it blow the module if the plug wires have a stainless steel core? Or do they have to have some resistence to them with the carbon core? I do know that solid core wires can cause radio noise but to me that is not an issue with me. Thanks in...

    iRenew

    I see this ad on TV about the wrist band call "iRenew". Do these things really work or are they a wasted of money? Just curious as my wife thinks that it will help her. I think it is just a scam to get money. So if any members have tried them,,,what are the results? Thanks............SS

Come Sunday the temps hit a bit over 50 and continued overnight along with some severe thnuderstorms. Got up this morning to see my backyard...

    Merc Distributor cap help

    About 8 years ago, I installed a Mercrusier distributor (805185-C) on my Chris Craft to have electronic ignition. The boat has run well until two years ago. Upon inspection of the cap/rotor/plugs,,, well it is time for a tune up. I want to make sure I get the right parts to replace. However, I...

    My Winter Project (almost done)

    I started this project the beginning of December. It has taken up a lot of my spare time from using the computer. I built this for my wife as a Christmas present. She got it and I got the jointer/plainner, belt/disc sander, and a router table to build it. I think she is expecting for me to build...

    Wireless TV Technology

    A few years ago I was able to purchase a package called Dish On Demand. It was pay as you go for different packages that would last for specified period of times. It was a good deal for me as I have cable at home. At the end of October 2009, Dishnet dropped the program and another supplier...

    While Plowing Snow

    Was plowing snow and noticed a little red car with a blonde driver that looked really young. Everywhere I went she would follow. After an hour, I just had to stop and ask her what she was doing. So I stopped and questioned why she followed every move that I made. She told me that her father...

    Plantar Fascitis anyone else?

    I noticed about 3 years ago my left foot would hurt when I put pressure on it when getting out of bed in the morning. It was a bit bothersome, but I wasn't concerned as it went away after walking on it for a few minuets. As the years went by, it progressively got worse. Finally I went to the...

    Commercial HVAC Tech Help

    I've been doing this work for over 25 years and it always seems as if I run across stuff I've never encountered before. The below picture is the distribution tubes going to the evap coil. Notice that the second stage liquid line is the color of normal copper. Now notice the 1st stage line...

    Tears and Prayers for 9/11

    I can't help from thinking about 9 years ago today. Where I was, what I was doing, and with heavy feelings in my heart for the victims, family and friends of loved ones. One of our close friends here at iboats that is now gone had family in that horrific event. Prayers and thoughts to his...

    No Brake Lights but....

    The high visability lite works when the brake pedal is pushed (the one in the rear window). Left and right directional works, no fuses blown, and I don't have a book. It is a 96 Mercury Mystique. When I push down on the brake pedal, I can hear the solenoid lock out on the shifter disengage...

    Another Post Reminded Me

    One post in the boat topic section brought back an old memory. It was a post about asking what a couple of switches and knobs was for. This reminded me of a friend who had a old Mustang. One that had the little metal rings embedded in the upolstry of the seat. He had a button mounted on the...
