    Best rust loosening material

    look up project farms and then search for his tests on penetrating oils and some claimed concoctions. Last test I saw a few years ago, Liquid Wrench was the top one. I use Kroil also.

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    well, I grew up operating and handling my cars, as someone stated also. I had/have to pay attention, I want that. I understand how new technology can lull me into a sense of false security and is awe inspiring to most. I got it. It's the "cell phone" phenomenon, right? People can't walk, drive...

    How would you answer this question?

    no. get a pontoon. Kids like the space, you can tube, lay around, add a grill, possibly add a porta-potty....even a slide

    Starting to feel like August

    the hunga tonga eruption has injected massive amounts of moisture into the atmosphere...unprecedented, but natural. more people die from cold than heat. Sweating is healthy for the body. summer...bring it on.

    is it normal for:

    the amp draw to be significant enough to draw down the voltage as seen on my volt meter when using the trim on my motor? The voltage drop is about 2+ volts. This is on a 2021 merc. 110 hp while underway. It did the same thing on the original 60 hp merc. The wiring is as factory from '06. If not...

    Need Advice

    Need Advice

    If you want advice from a pontoon owner who has re-powered and operated a pontoon since 2017, here's this: FYI, FWIW: It's impossible to tell if a motor is too high or low just based on what you posted. What you posted tells me you are over-propped and lugging your motor. I do not prop my...
