    Intellegence Investigation?

    I wonder how many of these folks would admit to having said this.<br /><br /> "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to<br />develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That<br />is our bottom line."<br /> - President Clinton, Feb...

    The old Hollywood Squares

    Those of us old enough to remember the original Hollywood Squares Game show will appreciate these. These are from the old Hollywood Squares show in the 70's when responses were truly spontaneous. Younger folks won't know the names, but should enjoy these anyway.<br /><br />Q: If you're going...

    Wiring the temp alarm.

    Can someone tell me how my temp. alarm should be wired? The black wire on the alarm is connected to a tan wire with a blue stripe which goes to the engine (1988 100 hp o/b). Where does the other wire go? (the red one).<br />Thanks

    Living Trust?

    About 5 years ago, my wife and I had a Living trust drawn up through a program her union offered. Still, it cost us $800 to have it done. I was talking to my mother last night. She has found someone who says they'll do it for her for $50. Apparently this person is fresh out of law school. I say...

    Guage wiring

    I'm rewiring the gauges on by boat. I understand that the purple wire is a switched hot wire that goes the the ignition post on each gauge. What I don't understand is why there is a purple wire on my harness going back to the engine. What does it do and where do I connect it? It's a 100 hp 1988...

    $%#@ Molex connectors

    WARNING Ranting ahead....... :mad: <br />You would think that a company that makes wire to wire connectors would establish and maintain standard sizes. I went down to my local Fry's (a local electronics chain) and bought several Molex connectors within the .093 series. The pins looked...

    Where to retire.

    Not that I'm that close to retirement, but Ladyfish's post about most stressful cities has raised a question in my mind. Which coastal city has the lowest cost of living? I'd love to live within 20 min of a coast (Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf), but California property rates are way too rich for my...

    What's the best way to dispose of an unwanted hull

    My local salvage yard says they may charge me as much as $300.00 to get rid of it if it doesn't have anything of value on it. It's got a good trailer, and some of the hardware left on it. It's a 16.9' SeaRay Seville open bow with rotten stringers. I can't believe it would cost that much to get...

    Trim up solenoids

    I found the cause of my Trim up/down wiring not working. My solenoids are sticking. I've found some rather old posts that suggest that these solenoids are pretty generic, and that I should be able to use just about any type of 12 volt solenoid on my 1988 100 hp Mercury O/B. I found a set of...

    Trim up wiring

    I've mounted my 1988 100 hp Mercury O/B on a newer hull but I don't have the wiring harness wired up to anything on the new hull yet. I basically left the entire harness attached to the o/b from my old boat. I'm trying to engage the power trim to trim up the motor by completing a circuit at the...

    Eagle Magna II won't power on

    I recently bought a used Eagle Magna II on e-bay. I just tried to power it on. The unit beeps and flashes a single virtical line on the display and then it does nothing. The troubleshooting section of the instructions say nothing about this kind of problem.<br />Is it junk?<br />Any help would...

    Edited words

    I was just in a topic where one of the replys appeared to make reference to Jesus, only the name Jesus had been edited out. What's up with that? I can understand plain bad language being edited out. I just used explitives like @*$#. But, how is the name of any person, be he a savior or regular...

    Any Starcraft Owners Out there?

    I'm trying to restore life to a 1998 Starcraft Fishmaster that was a theft recovery. I bought it from a local marine wrecking yard. The hull is in excellent condition. It's just missing a lot of stuff. I'm looking for anyone who might have one of these boats (or close to it) so that I can get...

    Hydrolic or cable

    I'm in the process of installing 15 year old 100 hp Merc O/B on a 5 year old aluminum hull. My outboard came equiped with a hydrolic steering system (SeaStar). The hull came equiped with a Teleflex rack & pinion cable system. I prefer the hydrolic system so, I've already removed the cable and...
