    Fire fighting Air Wars

    This is actually a political topic here, but I am gonna post it anyway . . . :p Every year we evaluate and discuss, and delay deciding on new technologies for fighting our fires from the air. My favorite is the Super Scooper, which is a Canadian Seaplane Fire fighter. The unique thing about it...

    Presidential Trivia Time

    I thought I'd find a sneaky way to, uh, sneak in some politics :eek: Relax, not really political anymore . . . Anyway, I have been reading up on US History; specifically Presidents. So, here's the question. Who said the following concerning which war and about which President? "Mr. (the...

    Mercruiser "Kick"

    Installed an SEI 106 yesterday and it required the "Kick" to get the last inch or so. Not a real hard one, but, well you know . . . I understand this is to get the shaft O-rings into the Gimbal bearing. Here's my question, why wouldn't you use the six mounting nuts to slowly pull it on? Once...

    Maxum 2100 SC3 - Review

    If you are wondering what the heck this thread is for take a look here and here. One of the new boats that Maxum is releasing for 2008 is the 2100 SC3 Cuddy. It is a 21 footer with an 8’3” beam. The test boat was equipped with a 5.0 260 bhp MPI Merc and an Alpha 1. This was a good combination...

    Alpha install question

    Well it is not really an Alpha it is an SEI106 being used to replace a pre-Alpha . . . Anyway, is there any reason I cannot install the upper driveshaft housing before the lower unit? All instructions I can find (factory manual and others) reference assembling the halves first. It would sure...

    All new 2008 Bayliner 320 - Review

    Bayliner has introduced two new large Cruisers to their lineup for 2008, the 300 and the first, large twin-screw Cruiser I tested, the 320. Right off the bat the thing most notable about this boat is the wide open nature of the cockpit and the cabin. Wow!! Huge, long, lounge along the...

    2008 Bayliner 205 Review

    For 2008 Bayliner is releasing a brand new 20 foot Bowrider dubbed the 205. This is the same boat that tashasdaddy did blind testing with a few months back. I got the opportunity to spend some time on this boat while in Knoxville, and due to some quick thinking by Bill Gius from iboats we got in...

    Broken hinge pin - Pre Alpha

    Working on an old Merc drive for a friend . . . :rolleyes: The starboard one came out reasonably easy, and then I was cranking on the port one when I heard a "crack": Yes, correct tool and I had not put any heat to it yet. Thoughts on getting this out? Any chance without welding something...

    Maxum 2700 SE - Review

    As I have noted here, I was given the opportunity to test four different Maxums recently in a new program with US Marine. You can be assured that Maxum and Bayliner want, and are reading, your comments, so let 'em know what you think. The first model I tested was the Maxum 2700 SE. With an 8’...

    This is ridiculous . . .

    I have been harping on these silly things forever, but this one takes the cake. What possibly could this POS tale thingy be contributing to this boat? :rolleyes:
