    Bearcat 55 impeller and oil filter help

    since 24104 lists for home heating oil as well... I'd chance and buy one of these https://www.amazon.com/General-2605-Epoxy-Coated-Replacement-Cartridge/dp/B0069VY1AY/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=furnace+oil+filter&qid=1642019569&sr=8-8 The filtration specs match up and the threads do as well. It...

    trailer tires, sizes, ratings..and switching...

    Your talking about either an 18.5 or a 20.5 tire right? Up here where it gets cold, they are generally refereed to as snowmobile trailer tires. Many of them are towed hundreds of miles to the Tug Hill Plateau.. The 12" will only marginally reduce the speed of the bearings and you will need to...

    Windows 11 yes/no?

    Win 10 has a couple more years to go before you need to think about 11. I forget the end of service date. As far as 10, it's still free if you have a Win 7 key that has not yet been used on 10. This is the same game MS played with 10

    Vintage Tire Issues

    Right, and the metric equal would be 155/80R12 and you won't find that in a trailer tire

    Vintage Tire Issues

    145R12 is right about 22" almost on the dot when inflated.. I did just check the sectional width of the 145R12 Carlisle Radial Trail RH LRE, the tire I would probably buy, and it is listed as 6.0", so it really does convert to 6.00-12. They rate 1,500 lbs each so that gives you plenty of...

    Vintage Tire Issues

    Ditto on the trailer. My boat came on a rickity old Holesclaw trailer that I figured I could fix up. Once I totalled up the parts cost and straightining the bent tongue, I was at a marine dealer snagging a brand new Venture trailer for about $500 under MSRP. This was late march 2020 so I was...

    boat fuse panel

    Yep. Looks like you have an older 6 circuit blue sea systems. They make an ATC fuse block that will wire the same. It might even use the same mounting holes.

    Portable electric heater Thermostat jump

    It's a push type connector that does the same thing as a wire nut but a little bit nicer of a finished product

    Portable electric heater Thermostat jump

    the 2 black wires. You could check with a volt meter to be sure. Is it 240V? There may be more wires

    Portable electric heater Thermostat jump

    The thermostat within that unit will use mains voltage on the hot leg to switch it on and off like a light switch. What you need to do is cut the connectors off, strip the wires and insert them into a Wago connector... Yes a wire nut wrapped in tape could work too, but I'd use a Wago for that

    1992 Bayliner Classic 15'

    Where do you see 15'? That model should have an ID tag and Brunswick/ Bayliner can assist you as they actually have the records. The Capri 1500 appears to only be 1988/1989 and it's a little over 14.5' LOA.

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Have one of those stores in my home town, although I don't go there often. They sell compound and crossbows and full stock of ammo in their sportsmans section if you can afford their prices. They don't have an FFL so no firearms. Cool store but prices are out there.

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Yup. I only said it because those sites have Makarov. You will likely never see it at a gun shop

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Good deal. When you go ammo shopping online always make sure you get 9mm Luger or 9x19mm. 9x18mm Makarov is sometimes listed as 9mm Makarov. Not always, it's usually sold with it's full dimensions listed where 9x19mm is sold as 9mm with Luger in small print in most cases
