GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I drink a 1/2 pot per morning in general, and I’ve been grinding my own beans lately. My K Duo quit and they no longer make that specific model anymore which I really like so I had to find one NOS on Ebay. In the mean time I bought a can of instant coffee. I’ve had the new pot a week just not...
I use a $5 transfer pump that you can get at any auto parts store, Walmart or HF. The prices run $5-15 or so depending on where. Hook the small line to it and snake it down the dipstick. It’s a slow process. The pump draws a vacuum and you’ll hear and feel it working
The engine itself was used by OMC, Volvo and a Mercruiser along with many other manufacturers for things like water pumps and fork lifts. So there is no shortage of parts for them.. where your going to have issue is with anything that is Yamaha specific. You’ll need to get an exhaust riser to...
Chrysler coil and a ballast resistor or a GM coil and a resistor wire does the same thing. If you have 6-9v at the points while running than your golden. Since Chrysler ballast resistors are somewhat known to fail. Check the resistor for voltage and see what you got.
Battery pack on something like a Prius can go a very long time and for the most part easily serviced. Hybrid makes a lot of sense in stop and go traffic.. it could make a lot of sense in a low/no wake situation.
Imagine being able to troll and turn down the speed to almost nothing, even...
For boats a hybrid technology would be cool. Smallish liquid cooled engine to run a generator to keep a battery pack charged, and then either an I/O type setup with a drive motor or an outboard on a pod.
GM is actually all Android at this point but they are trying to move into something in house. It hasn’t come through yet. My Wife loves Sirius XM country channels and for $5/ month I’ll let her keep it. I actually put a Sirius receiver in my car as my commute is in a 100% cell dead zone. I...
Yeah. I bought my wife a ‘25 Equinox Activ and the HVAC controls have a function in the screen, but also controls directly under the screen. I think they also voice command but I don’t get to drive it much to actually figure out all it will voice command.
Tech probably not paying attention. Lifters more often than not take out the cam. Damaged cam almost always means new engine. We had one come in last week for a lifter issue and needed a cam. Customer pay. Cost was $1,500 less than a new engine. Customer bought the engine of course
If it...
I work on them every day so I ‘get’ them. The electronics are what I don’t like. A radio update has the potential to create a no start on a GM vehicle for instance
With as popular as StarCraft is, you can probably get one from UDP plastics. They make them custom and then keep the pattern on file after that. Expensive though. Some glass shops can do them as well if they work with plastic
Earlier MC1 has the hook. Eliminated later year’s because it wasn’t really needed. It was used for lifting the outdrive off for service. It’s not a trailer support. If you need to hold your drive up, run a ratchet strap from one transom eye to the other under the outdrive and tighten it up...
The chances are they probably work. You might not find the perfect prop but probably fit and work fine. China is pretty good at making exact copies of stuff.
I put a chinese mercury remote on my 18’ StarCraft and other than no logo, you’ll never know. It also has Vevor steering which works...
Nobody’s going to want a conversion either, especially with what you would need to charge for it.
My advice is to donate the boat and claim it on your taxes. If you need to get rid of it
