    End of Season oil changes?

    I always intend to do it at the end of the season, and then end up doing it right before I'm trying to launch.

    I would have invented the strip club

    Oil Pressure Sender failure modes?

    Just to close this out. As promised, this was just a boredom/curious related thread. Haven't had a problem since I swapped out the sender. Finally got around to cutting open the old one. Looks like yet another victim of my boat's dunking (will the problems from that ever go away?). Most of that...

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    Love the vineyard. used to go there often a long time ago, lived on Chappaquiddick for 6 months, waited tables at the Edgartown yacht club. we used to "borrow" dingies to get home since the bars closed after the ferry stopped running. yup, the Nantucket NIMBYs were who I was talking about.

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    when you start with a blatantly untrue "fact" about power generation, and then proceed to "greenie weenie", you pretty much show your capacity for a discussion. EVs are viable now for a huge chunk of the population, and would/will continue to improve if there weren't active efforts to kill the...

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    I'm always curious as to why people are scared of renewable energy and then double down as if their manhood is in doubt when questioned about it. Certainly as a nation we're better off with more renewable energy, but keep going...

    4.3 gxi run without water...

    no, definitely not long enough to get up to temp. we'll start with the impeller and go from there. I'll have her grab a manual as well if I'm going to be servicing the damn thing. thanks!

    4.3 gxi run without water...

    is that all? the rubber didn't feel crunchy last time out. are there exhaust shutters? I'm secretly hoping that she ruins this engine so that I get a nice new upgraded hull (21' chappy, way nicer than mine) for free that I can throw a carb V8 into...

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    yes. who did the install? what brand cable? it can bind if not routed correctly, and any kink in the outer housing will ruin the cable. either way, it's an easy for step to check

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    make sure it moves with zero resistance. doesn't take much drag on the cable to screw things up

    4.3 gxi run without water...

    so I winterized a friend's 2012 (again) last year in December after she kept saying that she was going to get it done... anyway, it was near freezing at the time, and I apparently left the plugs out and hoses off. this spring, I couldn't remember if I had replaced that stuff or not. short...
