    Draining water for cold weather - 2000 Mercuiser 4.3

    I have removed the Manifold and Block drain plugs with no problem but these remaining hoses are difficult to access. Anyone have any suggestions? It was my understanding that even bumping the motor over without water to the out drive is bad news for the impeller however, the service manual...

    The arrogance...

    Not to start a rant, but it amazes me how many people are still driving around in gas guzzling SUV's and trucks for commuting. I was just reading another thread about someone who wanted to improve their millage on a Yukon. How about parking the damn thing? Don't get me wrong, I also own a truck...

    Tub drain overflow gasket leaks...

    Hey Guys... I just replaced the tub drain and now when the tub is overfilled past the bottom of the cover plate, water runs through the cover plate and down the exterior of the tub instead of into the overflow. There is a rubber gasket between the flange for the overflow tube and the exterior...

    Mankind rides on the successful pickup line

    So I was at this party, and I wound up at a table where three attractive single women were complaining about - Surprise! - Men. Specifically, they were complaining about the pickup lines that had been used on them in a bar a few nights earlier. One woman said: ''This guy comes up to me and...

    Gift Wrapping......Yikes (Hilarious)

    This is the time of year when we think back to the very first Christmas, when the Three Wise Men -- Gaspar, Balthasar and Herb -- went to see the baby Jesus, and, according to the Book of Matthew, "presented unto Him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh" These are simple words, but if we...

    My Snowmobile Accident

    This past weekend I went riding with my Uncle up in the Tug Hill area of NY. We had just gotten our first significant snow fall and I was eager to ride my new sled. This is my second season riding and I just bought a fast 2002 Polaris 600 XC. Due to my inexperience, I took a corner too fast and...

    New House...Bad Smell

    I just moved into a house that belongs to my girlfriend that hasn't been lived in for about a year. She bought the house and then due to her mother passing away, she wasn't able to move in. There is a combo bathroom/laundry room on the ground floor that smells rancid. It doesn't smell like...

    Pond that doesn't hold water...

    I have a friend that bought a house with a pond that doesn't hold water. In the spring it will fill up but right now there is just a couple feet of mud in the bottom. I was checking out pond liners online, I think the pond is a little too big for that...not sure. Anyway, anyone have any ideas?

    Replaced GFI...still doesn't work

    I was running a pressure washer and the plug pulled out and killed the GFI. I replaced with a new one (old one had a scorch mark on it) and reset the breaker. Still doesn't work. There is another GFI on the same circuit in the bathroom that also isn't working. Could I have killed this one also...

    I Miss Bill Clinton

    It doesn't matter what party you belong to -- this is hilarious. From a show on Canadian TV there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton. Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President. Number 1 - He played the...

All of the menus are still in Swedish. From what I have read online, I may have to reinstall an English copy of...
