    We have Created a Nightmare in this Country

    The need for material things is over whelming for some. The "keeping up with the Jones". Having to have the latest gadgets such as high tech cell phones with expensive monthly plans. Homes so big that many don't have time to clean them. Must be in the high class neighborhoods. Just have to have...

    Losing loved ones to Death

    I don't want this to turn into a Religious discussion for rules sake. Just wondering how everyone deals with the deaths of those closest to you? I know it can happen at anytime in our lives but you really start running out of loved ones when you reach 50 plus years old. Some people have small...

    How Often do you change the fuel/water Separator?

    I have the one that looks like a oil filter. I usually empty it a few times a year and buy a new one in the Spring. I was wondering if buying a new one every year is over kill?

    Merc Cruiser 1989 engine 130 hp 4 cyl. First run of the season. Went out for a few hours. Slowly approached dock then I believe I put it in neutral. Then reversed it. Heard a loud squealing noise and then quickly no reverse. Sounded like the non stop squealing was coming from the out drive. I...

    Increasing Fuel Prices

    Will they effect your boating pleasure? Time spent boating? They were forecasting $5 per gallon before some of the Middle East started rioting. Now I bet it will be over $5 in many parts of the country. I don't think we can imagine how much $5 will hurt. Food prices will jump. Everything...

    Diet Pills?

    Anyone had good, safe luck with them? Cost? I am looking to lose weight without all the trouble of exercising, eating right, not drinking beer and getting up from the recliner--unless to spend time on the water and it is too cold to do that. Seems that after 50, everything you eat or drink...

    The Universe Show Is going Downhill

    Really turning into a disaster/doomsday show. I would prefer them exploring the Universe etc. Seems they have run out of new discoveries and resorted to horror movie tactic: Black Holes are swallowing up everything! If the Universe expands endlessly in hundreds of Trillions of years all the...

    Fuel line fittings

    My fuel line fitting(fuel line from gas tank) to a Yamaha 40 fits loosely at the engine connection. You can wiggle it. You hear it click when you connect but you get the feeling it isn't connect the best it could be. Not a snug feeling to it. Can air get in there? How would I know air is...

    Mystery Diagnosis

    Anyone else watch this show? Makes you lose confidence in 3/4 of the medical community. Sick go from doctor to doctor to research centers seeking help for the illnesses. Needlessly suffering for sometimes many years before finally finding a medical professional who either cares enough or knows...

    1990 MerCruiser 3.0. I have had a inline fuel/water filter separator in place for a long time. Change it every season. Now I heard from a mechanic that the block filter in the fuel pump can be degraded by Ethanol and gunk up the Carb(not fuel injected). Can I just take the block filter out of...
