    Truck, Car or Marine Motor Differences

    So not to hijack a thread I'm starting this one for some discussion on the topic. There are thousands of threads here and other places which keep saying use a truck engine instead of a car. This topic is not about the gaskets, core plugs or any exterior components. The end point (as I took it)...

    Security for vacant house

    We're buying a house and will later fix up and sell. Current quote from the insurance company wants as much for this place as our home. So I'm debating between getting it, reducing the amount to be insured, and maybe setup some cameras. I know if something happens and camera's catch it, it...

    Motor suggestions

    Have a 18 foot Chrysler Conquer 105 and the motor block is cracked. For now I'm looking around at other 2-stroke motor options. The plate says 105HP max, but finding some 115 and 125 motors. The original 105 Chrysler only had 90HP at the prop, so finding a newer 105 would be a jump in power...

    ACR or DVSR

    Decided to remove my 3-bank isolator and leaning toward DVSR over ACR. Sent an email to Blue Sea and received no response (5 days). In review of online documentation I noticed a possible issue with the ACR over the DVSR. The ACR was unclear as what effect the battery charger would be and how...

    Paint remover

    Have gotten tired of bottom paint so the plan is to remove it all, then either re-gel or more then likely paint with epoxy. A local place will blast it or I can use paint remover. There are several products which are caustic and others which are environmentally friendly. Leaning toward the...

    Moving a Hydrohoist

    Anyone ever try to move a Hydrohoist boat lift? Have read and can for the most part figure out how to move one, the issue is if anyone has actually or helped someone move the lift. Been looking around and the marina I'm at will only allow hydrohoist, I can find other brands for less and in...

    Trim switch replacement 88688A25 - A27

    Trying to figure out how to get the cover (item 5) off the trim switch (item 4) so I can replace it. Tried a little screw driver, a little channel locks and so far nothing. Could squeeze down hard but might break it. Already bought the switch, and should be simple if the cover will come off. Who...

    BRAVO-ITIS Fix

    Replacing my pretty much everything rubber and plastic on my Rinker after 21 years, and decided to install the fix for Bravoitis. I didn't have an issue being in fresh water, but for those who boat in salt water, sooner of later this will probably be needed. No pics for disassembly, just the...

    Notification Issue again

    Not getting notified when someone post to a thread. This happened 6 to 8 months ago, and the fix (at least I think was the fix) was to change my notification to none, logout, login, add notification. I tried this method and a couple others and still nothing. It is showing up in messaging when...
