    Upper MIssissippi or Torch Lake?

    Earlier this year we sold our cottage, so now have to trailer to water.:( I've got a 3-day weekend coming up, and am considering a 4 - 5 hour drive. North could take us to Torch Lake in Michigan's NW lower peninsula. I know it's a beautiful 2 mile x 20-mile pristine lake with other...

    Sport Jet 90 won't start when hot

    This problem started a year ago, and appears to be getting worse. As long as the engine was running, it would keep running even after it's hot, even if running for a couple hours. However, once it was hot, if I ever turned it off, it would not start for a couple hours or so, presumably until it...
