    DeLorme P-60 or a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, which would you prefer and why

    I have a chance to pick up either of these units for about the same price and I know very little about them. I'd like to have image satellite views and looks like that's only available on the DeLorme.

    Anyone know YJ's?

    94' YJ 4.0 5-speed, all original, new O2 sensor last July It's been running fine, then I shut it off uptown and now it won't start but still turns over just fine. The only thing I've tried so far was to check the schrader valve on the fuel rail (it dribbled a bit) and then tried to start it on...

    Can you trust NetFlix?

    My wife signed up for netflix using my e-mail addy, now I'm getting bombed with spam and it started about 8 hours after she signed up. I've had this same acct. for over a year and haven't had this problem before. The attached pic is a screen capture of my yahoo spam folder. Hmmm

    Bump starting an outboard

    The wife and I had noticed a young fellow about 100 yards from us in a 12' aluminum yanking away on the starter rope. While we were reminiscing about being in the same situation about 20 years ago, his rope broke, so we decided to go over and offer him a tow to the dock. Instead of a tow to...

    Plugging holes in transom

    I'm doing away with the starboard side of the swim deck and have eight of these holes to patch, they had 2" lag bolts run into them BTW. I'm thinking of using wooden dowels coated with epoxy tapped into the holes and leaving them slightly recessed to make room for a final cosmetic repair. Any...

    Weekend Fishing Tournament Turns Disastrous As 36 Vehicles Fall Through Ice

    http://autos.aol.com/article/36-cars-fall-through-ice/ Back in the late 90's I watched as a Powerstroke dropped thru the ice. There was no dramatic "Splash", it went in slow and easy.

    CL: Pontoon in the background

    Johnson 6HP, does the smoke output look right?

    I picked this up yesterday and it would only idle with the choke on. I pulled the carb off and cleaned the sludge and varnish out of it and now it fires up and seem to run fine but it's been a long time since I've messed with a 2 stroke and the smoke seems excessive. The fuel is fresh with a...

    Looking at buying a used Mercury 4 HP

    I'm wanting to replace the B&S 5 HP (it came with the boat and it's too loud) for trolling on a 21' fiberglass boat. I don't know what year it is but it appears to be fairly new, there are no scratches or nicks on the prop. The shift lever is broke off and it's in gear, they said it fell over...

    Atwood 82541 options

    The one I have (on a '87 trl) has been missing the cap and is full of rust so it needs rebuilt, it does not have the reverse lockout lever that is shown in this picture: What are my options on rebuilding it with a reverse lockout other than cutting it off and welding on a new unit? Thanks

    Batteries and switch question

    I just acquired a '87 Celebrity 210V (OMC 350) and since there is little chance of finding any manuals for it, plus I know nothing about power boats...:eek: The battery in the #1 position is a regular automotive battery while the #2 position is a deep cycle, is this the OEM setup or did someone...
