    Outboard Stands

    I made an adapter plate for my automotive engine stand. Works great on my 9.9 and 35hp motors, probably not tall enough for a big motor.

    Whale tail Question

    Never had a use for a whale tail, Usually used as a bandaid for other issues. That said, run it and see, unbolt and run again, Post your results.

    Check your Prop Folks!!

    I always pull the prop every year, usually hafta clean out some fishing line. Always wonder when I will see the flo torque hub start to fail. Good catch.

    For those of us who tow our boat, do you inspect it ?

    I give my trailers a good going over every year, repack bearings, usually fix lights. I look at the trailers everytime I launch once the boat is off. I also check tire pressures everytime I tow. I have still had surprise issues.

    PVC or Hypalon?

    Wipe with MEK. If it is pvc it will feel a little sticky, if it is hypalon it will just get cleaner.

    Temp control/sensor

    Just a temperature switch. looks like it is set to close the circuit at 150 degrees. Somebody came up with a custom temp alarm is my guess. I like the ingenuity.
