    Where/how to put a cyl. head temp sender?

    With my fishing rig, i do a lot of fast (4-5mph) shallow (2'-6' ft) trolling in weedy areas so i sometime pick up debris and, in the past 6 years, my '93 60hp 2-stroke had a couple of overheat episodes resulting mainly from the telltale being completely blocked. Now that i've rebuilt it, cause...

    Happened in my neck of the woods. Some hints: idiots, jetski, ramp! It's in french but you won't miss anything. Nothing to add other than: he desserve it! http://s984.photobucket.com/albums/ae327/saumon4/?action=view&current=LoadingWithStyle.mp4

    Yep another deck/foam thread (with pics!)

    It's time to redo the deck of my 1993 Tracker Pro-Deep-V 17 aluminum side console boat. So far, i've teared the carpet, removed the old plywood (had to cut all of the screws from under) and removed at least 200 pounds of waterlogged poured-in foam (3 big orange garbage bags). I plan to...

    Not so new questions...

    As spring came by, a lot of the always same questions do so, like migratory birds, each and every year. What do you think are the top 5? Here's mine (at least for the Repair and Maintenance section): 1- Is this a good deal? 2- What year is my engine? 3- What is the correct oil/gas mix ratio...

    Wow...

    This one that happen last weekend in my neck of the woods can surely be counted as a SHT: a 17 footer was trying to pass along a 38 footer just before a bridge.

    Bore measuring?

    Hi, first of all, please excuse my english, as i'm french speaking. i'm in the process of tearing down my engine (Merc 60hp 1993 3 cyl.) with bad compression (was 90-112-115 two years ago and now 90-92-114) to check if i can't simply deglaze and put new rings or if it's too much worn out and...
