    Prop Swap opinions...

    ..see who wins 🤔..have some fun I'm gonna guess, using all the stuff, mathematics, opinions, etc, out there, that you will see 4800 rpm@WOT....assuming you're fair by running at the exact conditions with the old prop and tach. 2" pitch reduction = 400 rpm gain One extra blade = 100 rpm...

    Prop Swap opinions...

    agree with stinnet. but, your thinking on the 4 blade stainless doesn't seem wrong, but it's still a guess. Mathematically and on paper it works....🫤 Just gets expensive when guessing if it doesn't do what you want and you can't return that stainless prop.

    Trailer bearing blowout. Need help with repair(s)

    then something isn't right. I see movement in the grease the minute I start pumping. I had that happen one time only on one wheel due to the seal bearing surface being bad. A spindle repair kit fixed that. Previous owner's maintenance was lacking, took me a few years to fix things. Anyway, not...

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    "AI is in the very earliest stages of development now. Much like autos were over 100 years ago. It has a long way to go." yeah, but it's able to make a short time to get there.

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    and all I can do is what I'm doing, or not doing. No social media accounts. No giving phone # or zip code for purchases. No apple car play/ profile connection registration in the new toyota. No apple nothing actually, 'cept IPhone , but with every auto reporting, position, locating, ident, thing...

    Boat opinions

    I use the echomap 2 53. Operating on the upper chesapeake, it has come in really handy, especially for a new bay operator that I am.

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    not only testing, La. allowed polygraphs...just to get a job in a lumber yard. If you wanted a job loading bags at Delta, you had better show up in a coat and tie.

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    it's a tool....for some it's becoming an emotional crutch. For crooks, it's enabling warp speed data theft attempts.

    I should add a 2nd battery...

    I have the acr which sends a charge to the battery that's weakest. I also have a 2 flat solar chargers mounted on the rear left of the pontoon, one for each battery. No way to tell if they actually make a difference, but I've owned the boat since 2016-17 and haven't had a dead battery problem...

    I should add a 2nd battery...

    is a 24' pontoon considered a medium boat? 🤔 anyway, I added a second battery, a selector and an acr. It was simple, and appears to be working well after 3+ years. Also cleaned up the rats nest factory wiring in the console.

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    You have to account for the MRSP of a 2013 camry LE compared to the MSRP of the camry hybrid LE. Maintenance cost might have saved a little, hard to compare. It's total savings that are important. So, using your #, I only saved around $900. I calculated more.....and took a gamble on the...

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    the camry hybrid was/is a great car. Was just required by inspection ( they're honest) to replace all rotors and front pads (i did all) last year. It had 153,000+ miles when sold to my son last week. People might be surprised, though, as to how much money I really saved. Not as much as one would...
