    Question for Lake Raystown guys

    I am considering camping here http://www.heritagecoveresort.com and taking my boat this spring. It looks to be an ideal situation with the boat because they have a boat ramp and possibly docking right on-site. My concern is that it is located at the very southern skinny end of the lake. Would I...

    Should there be this much slop in gear?

    I was changing my lower unit lube last night and consequently messing with it a little bit. I noticed that when in gear (either FWD or REV) I can turn the propeller a good 1/3 - 1/2 turn before I can't turn it any more. Should there be this much slop in it? Motor is a '73 Johnson 85.

    Wiper problem

    I have a 1990 Chevy K1500 truck. Every since I've had this truck (3 years) the windshield wipers have been a pain. No matter what I do they always skip across the windshield on the upswing and then wipe clean and smooth on the downswing. The skipping is noisy and on a rainy day I'm usually about...

    I had no idea Craigslist had gotten this bad

    I was already aware how bad it had gotten trying to sell any big ticket items on eBay or Craigslist. I had heard that it had gotten practically impossible to sell a laptop on eBay to a legitimate buyer. Apparently it's gotten even worse. I have a guy trying to scam me on a $15 DVD player...

    2007 Impala poor fuel mileage

    We just bought a pre-owned 2007 Chevy Impala with 35k miles on it. It has the 3.5 V6. We are very disappointed with the fuel economy we've been getting especially since that was one of our primary reasons for buying the car. We traded an AWD Pacifica in on it. We're only getting around 21-22MPG...

    I was Smited! And it keeps getting worse...

    So how much does this suck.......on Saturday I was driving my truck on a road that goes through a pretty dense wooded area. I was going about 40 MPH when WHAM, a giant tree branch fell out of the sky, ripped off my antennae, my side mirror, smashed my windshield (not through but damn near)...

    Kumho tires?

    I'm shopping for tires for our 2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD. I'm very budget conscious right now so I'm looking for a good value and not necessarily the greatest tires money can buy. My first instinct was to go with Yokohama Avids as I have a set of those on my Buick Regal and they have been...

    Weird car problem

    Ok guys, I really need your help on this one. I've got a 2000 Buick Regal with a 3800 V6. 2 times in a row now, following a torrential downpour overnight, in the morning the car will start fine but run terribly like it has a bad miss. As I have my wife and son with me (going to daycare) neither...

    Wow, that was a major leak....

    My boat has leaked something fierce since I first got it but I never put a lot of effort into figuring out why until this year. I just put a bilge pump in it and ran it often. Well we're planning on taking it with us to the shore on vacation this year and it would be in a slip. Given how much it...

    Some initial prop/set-up questions UPDATE and QUESTION

    I've been thinking about replacing my prop for a while and it now looks like I'm having some slippage so I going to pull the trigger. I'll have the old one repaired to keep as a spare. I have no idea what prop is on there now. Hopefully it will have some numbers on it when I pull it tomorrow...

    Assawoman Bay, Ocean City, MD

    We're taking the boat down to OC for the first time ever in August. I grew up cruising around the Assawoman bay on a family friend's pontoon so I know the area a LITTLE bit. I know next to nothing about saltwater fishing. Are there any good spots in the bay for fishing (preferably north of Rt...

    Boat Ramps in Ocean City, MD

    In August we rented a condo with a boat slip at 123rd St. in OC. Where's the best place to put into the bay nearest to there? Also, what restaurants can you boat to? The only one I know of for sure is Harpoon Hannah's.

    HELP Sick tree

    I have a snow fountain cherry tree that we planted 4 years ago. It was an expensive tree so it was a pretty good size when we planted it. It has always been very healthy, particularly this spring! But in the past week (best that I remember noticing) it's having some serious issues. Lots of...

    Do over the range microwaves use standard hardware?

    Our over the range microwave just died. Really sucks because it was only 4 years old. It's a GE and I was wondering if I bought a Hotpoint or something like that if I could just pop it in using the existing plate that's mounted to the wall? I'm assuming the screw holes in the cabinet will be...

    '73 Johnson 85 stalls at idle/low speed, hard to restart

    Well I was hoping I wouldn't have to post in this forum for a while :( but I had some problems last night I need to address. As stated in the title I have a '73 Johnson 85. It was "awakened" 4 years ago after being laid up for many years. At that time we had all new coils, plugs, power pack...

    Couple dumb car questions

    I went to get my oil changed last night at Firestone because I had a coupon for an $18.99 change. Unfortunately they were backed up and said it would be a couple hours before they got to me. So I already had it in my head that I wasn't going to be paying $30 for an oil change so I went across...

    Do I need this? (Transom question)

    I'm replacing my transom and I have a plate on the outside of my boat that goes between the motor bracket and the hull. It's made out of 1/2" ply. Do I need to have that? I see plenty of boats that don't. The pic below is not of my boat but it's what I'm talking about.
