    Maximum Number of Trailer Lights

I was told from the guy that I bought it from that I...

    New Gas Tank

    I am looking at replacing my gas tank on my boat this weekend. It currently has a 5 gallon metal tank. I am thinking about using the 6 gallon plastic tank that Wal-Mart sells. I am also going to put a new fuel line and bulb on it. My question is, I have a Chrysler motor, Walmart sells a male...

    Few questions about a 35 hp Chrysler.

    I have a few different questions for yall. I just recently purchased an older tri hull boat (it is a Caddo I believe) with a Chrysler 35 hp motor. I had it out about 2 weeks for the first time. Rode it around for about and hour and used about 3 gallons of gas, does that sound about right...
