    Spacer not lining up after belt replacement on 3.0

    I replaced my alternator belt which required taking the engine spacer off. (This video pretty much explains and shows what I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7fE_fiEwg0). When I try to put the spacer back on it doesn't quite line up. It's not a lot but just enough to prevent me from...

    Very oily water in bildge (merc-bowrider)

    I have a small bowrider with a 3 liter merc and when I pulled the drain plug after being in the water for a week, the water was very grey and oily. The boat ran fine all week, but should I be concerned and what can I look for? Thanks!

    Tail light problem on trailer

    Coming home from the lake last night, I noticed that all of my trailer's tail lights were out. The directionals worked, but that was it. (Which made for an interesting hour ride home on all back roads). The flat plug from the vehical has indicator lights and the two indicators for the tail...

    Did I "summerize" too soon?

    I just got my boat out of storage and summerized it (I ran the engine on the muffs so I could change the drive oil and the motor oil). Now I see it is going to get down to the low 30's high 20's the next two nights:eek: (with temps in the mid 50's during the day). Am I in trouble here, or will...

    Wakeboarding and Snowboarding in the same weekend

    That's my goal this year. I was at the mountain on Saturday and they still have a ton of snow. Killington VT is only a few hours by car and they should have snow till May or June (although I'm not sure when they shut off the lifts). If I hit the mountain on a Saturday in late April, and have a...

    Do you have a spare tire for your trailer?

    Last summer was my first trailering the boat, but as I plan to bring the boat further distances this summer, I am trying to cover myself a little bit (without getting crazy). My trailer didn't come with a spare tire. Should I get one? Has anyone had to change a flat on their way to or from an...

    40 ft. custom, built mahogany speedboat

    On our local Craigslist. NICE! http://albany.craigslist.org/boa/1028057297.html (although, with 40' of boat, I'd personally like more seating, but I guess if this is how you roll, you're probably not doing much family boating with this thing)

    Would anyone fall for this? They need to make it somewhat believable.

    Here's the listing: http://westernmass.craigslist.org/boa/1018877242.html Even if they left a zero off the end of the price...I mean come-on. I would also assume anyone who owns a boat like this would have a better command of the English language: "i will sell it whit a trailer included, the...
