    What photo editing program do you use?

    I'm thinking about getting something a little better than the Paint Shop Photo Album Deluxe edition that I use now. I doesn't have to be one of those multi thousand dollar jobs. Anyone use the Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2?

    Propane grill gauge?

    http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=8587355 Anyone use one of these? I'd like to know how much gas is in my tank but don't want to cut down the pressure any more than it is. Maybe I should replace the regulator too? Seems to me it should be a little higher than what its always been.

    What do you do to save gas?

    Here is what I've come up with so far. Be sure tires are inflated to max as written on side of tire. If you look ahead and see that you are going to have to stop, take your foot off the gas and coast till you have to hit the breaks. Saves wear and tear on the brakes too. Keep a clean air...

    I'm stumped

    Or having another memory relapse. 1994, 75HP Merc, 3 cyl. When I turn the motor off and tilt it up I get a little bit of gas coming out of the top and bottom carbs.

    Page down to BATTERY MANUFACTURERS AND BRANDING. Some have to be looked up by the distributor. For instance "Everstart", look under Walmart. http://www.batteryfaq.org/

    Any house electricians aboard?

    I have to have a new septic field installed and they require 2 circuits for the pump. The pumps calls for 12-2 wire and the alarm 14-2. I will be coming out of my breaker box, thru the attic, then out the eaves into a piece of conduit. Can I use just regular romex for this or should I use wire...

    Rake vs pitch

    I recently had to buy a new prop to replace my damaged one. I needed to get RPMs down as they were too high. He didn't have a 23 pitch but loaned me one the same size as my old merc prop but with a lot more rake. I was amazed as it lowered my RPMs by about 300 revs and ran a lot better at WOT. I...

    Alarm on 40 HP Merc

    This is a 2003 40HP Merc Ser 0T754967. I don't have access to this motor but the problem has been isolated to the low oil alarm circuit. I know there has been talk about magnets coming loose in some of these but I'm a little confused. What triggers the switch in this one? Item 17...
