    Fuel Line 1972 OMC 165

    The fuel line from the pump to the carb (0979888) broke on my engine. I had to replace the pump, and the new pump connected at a different angle ... the old fuel line didn't like that angle. I'm kinda' concerned about buying the correct line because I'm gonna' have the same angle issue (I can...

    Vindskip: interesting ship design

    Ran across something interesting today and thought I'd drop it on the group to bat around. Ship design is something I get an interest in watching (though I really don't understand most of the engineering). VINDSKIP is a new one that's kinda' cool from an efficiency standpoint. Hull is crazy...

    Gearcase lube while in storage

    I picked up an upper gear case for the Stringer drive last weekend. It was from a salvage yard, but it was pressure tested, and moves free. I've got some cleaning to do to the outside of the gear case (at least), and wasn't planning on filling it with lubricant right away. It's in the garage...

    Dear Members from Up North ...

    ... mistakenly, nature delivered some of your ice and cold here to Nashville this morning. If you'd be so kind as to tell us your correct address, we'd like to ship it back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to the matter. Best Regards, The South.

    Pros and Cons of a True Inboard

    Howdy y'all: I'm in the midst of weighing out a bunch of options, and one of them that I'm starting to add into the mix is direct drive inboards. I know nothing about them, and don't want to blunder too bad if I start lookin' at 'em (Ski boats in particular). I'm not afraid of depth: most of...

    Lookin' for some thoughts on a Stringer Drive

    So the diagnosis is that my upper gear case is locked up - and I've gotta' make a few decisions. I'm interested in hearing folks opinions, even if we don't come to a conclusion: After searching through my parts cache and askin' questions, I think I'm down to four options (based on what's...

    2014 Shipwrecks Found

    I'm something of a Great Lakes Shipping Nerd when I have the time (which I typically don't), so I was interested with the recent story of the find of the Nisbet Grammar in Lake Ontario (Story HERE, HERE & HERE). I tried to find some information on the Dalwarnic, the boat that hit the Nisbet...

    Locked up upper?

    Well RATZACRATZA! I've been doing a bunch of maintenance and odds and ends stuff since my boat overheated a couple weeks ago. In that thread, when i pulled the upper (to my great surprise) there was a bunch of water in the gear case. As I understand it, one should be able to turn those gears...

    Overheated ... pretty bad ...

    Need a little advice or perhaps confirmation that I'm doing the right things (still mediocre with a wrench on my best days): '72 OMC 165HP - Stringer - Chevy 250 I6 BACKSTORY: Been runnin' the boat quite a bit this year and she's been going just fine. Went out on the lake late Saturday and...

    Raise a glass this weekend ...

    To friends who have gone on before us to glassy seas and fairer winds. I don't care to live in the past and wallow in loss. But I do enjoy fine memories of good friends. Don's not the only one who's gone before us, but he's who I knew best. This weekend as you're enjoying the water, family...

    Re-Open Last Closed Window

    Something that's happening (a little differently each time) for me (Safari on a Mac): If I close a Safari Window with a given topic/thread open and then select <REOPEN LAST CLOSED WINDOW> from the HISTORY menu, it just opens a blank window. If I select the actual topic/thread from that same...

    Yikes! Page WHACKOUT!

    Just in case y'all aren't doing anything ... the page format has gone CRAZY on my end (Safari on the Mac). Took me a few minutes to even figure out how to read the page. It's not looked like this through the whole upgrade. Lemme' know if you want a screen shot.
