    firing order

    After putting in a set of points just before winter, we (a friend and I) jumped into setting the timing today. The marina said it ran, but not well when they winterized it. Of course there was problems. For some reason the condensor went bad during the winter (I had replaced it along with...

    Gear Lube level

    After reading a previous posting I think I know why lube is put in from the bottom with the top plug out...to release air bubbles? But can I simply take out the top plug to check lube level?<br /><br />Thanks.

    steering wheels

    I just finished recovering the inside of my boat and now want to change the steering wheel from brown to black. My concern is the space between the dash and the back of the wheel, I guess you would call it the steering column. As of now there is a plastic brown piece that covers the steering...
