    Mercruiser 190 Starter

    Mercruiser 4cyl. 190. My problem is when I try to start the engine after its been running awhile.

I thought the battery...

I used 3/4" Exterior (not exposure-1) A-C grade douglas fir 5ply. CDX plywood uses the same waterproof glues but...

    Live well pick-up

    I've notice most boats have a thru-hull fitting on the stern of the boat (usually with a mesh gaurd on it) for live well pick up. My concern is when you under power the fitting will be dry. If I have a 30 mile trip offshore my bait will die. I was thinking of putting an intake strainer on the...

    Which VHF Radio to Buy?

    Since I didn't get one for x-mas. I might as well buy it myself and get a good one while I'm at it. I understand the antennae is most important. I want a mounted unit, waterproof would be nice.
