    Transom Hardware sealing issue

    I used Marine Tex on all my hull intrusions Not sure why you used a "lag bolt". Much more contact area (strength) using wood or sheet metal screws. If I remember correctly, the ladder of my old boat was installed with #14 screws. 316 stainless "screws" are readily available Use recommended...

    Transom Hardware sealing issue

    Most grades of stainless steel, 316 is the exception, "rusts" when deprived of oxygen. Given the situation, wouldn't be surprised at all the 5200 hasn't trapped moisture between the bracket and hull. 5200 has a nasty habit of drying out and shrinking, causing leakage and entrapment of...

    nice show...great location

    Ya, reconciled the sailing center behind you Used to go just every year before it became a "thing". Kept the boat at a marina on Spa Creek. Anchored up in the shade of the Rt. 450 bridge.

    Good spray on weed killers.

    I can vouch first hand it doesn't kill yellow jackets, hornets or wasps living in fence rows.......

    What system are you using that requires multiple units/sensors? The ones I’ve looked at monitored flow rates from a single, whole house point

    Battery Cables

    Put new battery cables on my 200 hp last year. The 6’ OMC positive cable was 4 gauge. Best place I’ve found for making custom cable assemblies https://www.customcableusa.com/

    200 HP Evinrude/Johnson Carb Kit and Rebuild

    I would rather spend an hour, hour and a half every 5-6 years changing gaskets than spend almost $250 a tank (150 gallons) more for E0 at the marina and then have to deal with moisture issues again. There are gasketed pockets for the mixture screws on the side of the throttle bodies. Plates...

    How Dumb can a dude be????

    People get funny selling items on-line. Could be he doesn't want you to know his real location. Had a guy who wanted to met curb outside at his home. Thought is strange, but OK Dummy didn't think about his real address being on the title. The guy actually lived 2 blocks down the street.

    1996 Yamaha 250 hard start after sitting on water for a while

    Hot is relative....... E10 can "boil" at 149F depending on the pressure. The boiling point of E0 (Regular 87 octane) is ~185F Try letting the engine idle a bit to cool down before shutting off. Try running E0 and see if that helps

    200 HP Evinrude/Johnson Carb Kit and Rebuild

    It's not if, it's when the carbs need attention. I've never had any issues with the "spaghetti" gaskets, but even the viton (brown) bowl gaskets and float needles don't make it more than 5-6 years before they start leaking/seeping fuel and need replaced. The nitrile (black) gaskets and needle...

    Audio Warning Alarm weird problem on 2001 4.3 Mercruiser EFI MEFI 3

    Couple of things… Can’t assume they’re switching ground to initiate an alarm. Alarms typically have multiple dependencies. Pull the wire from oil sensor while running

    question on power steering ram

    Unless they did something crazy, the “seals” are just o-rings. Tear the cylinder down and measure the orings. Go to local hardware store for replacements
