    I got some of that mess cleaned up a bit. I don't think I want the gas can up there in an enclosure with the battery. I think back here is a better spot. One good reason is its ventilated. I'm gonna reroute that filter also, so that line isn't hanging out right in the way.

    That's really cool. Why are the wheels on the trailer so far apart? They must scrub hard when ya turn? Do they wear out quickly?

    Ya, it's all paint except the graphics. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna paint the metal on the inside. It's pretty grimy. I think alot of it wash off, but alot of it won't. The carpet is in pretty good shape and should clean up nicely, and with new paint on the inside, it should look really nice. Any...

    So, I got Smoky home yesterday. Didn't get to spend as much time cleaning up as I wanted to. But I got one side, the transom, and the engine cover buffed out. Cleans up pretty good. I used an old pad on the green part, then switched to a new one and went over it again, then switched to another...

    All 3 of our dogs are rescues. Willow in '16 at Pismo. Sadly, we just put her down about 3 weeks ago. We gave here a great life for 7 years, tho. She got sick in October, she got better for a while, but her liver was failing. She was about 12 which is avg life for a Siberian. Then Maggie...

    daily music fix

    Here's one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded, IMHO. Top 5. Throw in Stairway, Freebird, Voodoo Chile...not necessarily in that order. LOL Ted was one of the greatest guitar shredders back in the day. Dude was amazing. And my favorite singer/musician of all time. The Hag. I don't think...

    I fabricated this hitch for the back of the toy hauler and finished it yesterday. Picked up the wiring for it today. Still have to finish that.

    I have a 2hp Suzuki that I think I'll attach to use for trolling. Saves wear and tear on the expensive stuff. I used this Suzuki on an inflatable for a while, but, it finally got tossed out last year. I picked up this Perch last summer and I use it in the little backwater sloughs on the payette...

    Thanks for the very useful advice, cm. I'll get one of those scanners ordered up. I looked thru your diagnostic briefly. Alot of it I don't understand. Yet. I'll study it a bit more today. It's in my computer in the garage. But we took the boat for a ride yesterday. I started it and backed it...

    Thanks all for the replies. I put a deposit down on the boat today, pending a test drive tomorrow or sunday. The owner says he runs xd100 oil in it. I feel pretty good about the motor (especially now LOL) only being 10 years old. It's been in the same family since the motor was only a couple...

    I'm looking at a fishing boat that is a 99 Smokercraft Stinger 150, that has a 2013 E-tec 40 on it. If I'm not mistaken those are direct injection 2 strokes. I remember some years ago, when I lived in CA, that the E-tec and the Optimax were the only 2 strokes allowed to be sold in CA. Are they...
