    Quality Bullet Connectors

    "SAE" connectors are great for power and ground. They are weather tight. If you need 4 wires, a 4 flat connector for a trailer would work

    Craftsman T1000 tractor mower ,blades not engaging

    That is an MTD built tractor. Usually MTD tractors engage the deck by lowering it and the belt tightens. They fail to engage when the linkage gets sloppy. A cracked deck at the mandrels will do it too

    Quality Bullet Connectors

    I don't think quality bullet connectors exist anymore. I'm restoring a 1971 Honda CB 500/4 that uses a bullet connector for every connection. I may change the harness even though it is 90% ok because of a couple burned connections. Good connectors just don't exist.... If they do Amphenol...

    Looking at 1990 Bayliner, need advice

    I know, that's what I was kind of getting at. An OMC 3.0L is bad enough

    Too windy?

    I've been out on a 24' boat on Lake Ontario where it was very windy and waves were running 3-5' with a small craft advisory. One boat had went down that day, and we saw some of the wreckage... Fished all day with the waves and it was not a bad day at all... BUT that is not something I would do...

    Help omc seadrive trim issues!

    If there are no leaks, the cylinders are probably leaking internally, or a valve is bypassing in the trim pump.. Unless it's really bad, I would just use a transom saver to hold up the motor and finish out the season. have the system serviced in the off season. The system could entirely fail and...

    V drive noise

    Well, you've got twin engines, so at least you'll make it home... That sounds ugly I'd find an RV-50 that matches the other one. I know nothing about V drives except it shouldn't sound like that. That's bearings and gears eating themselves

    1969 Glassmaster 17' trihull

    It's the old 3.8L/ 225. The same design team that built the 215 Aluminum block V8 did the V6 IIRC and some of the tooling is the same. Being a 1969 boat, the motor would have been aquired from Kaiser who bought the rights and tooling to put them in Jeeps and other industrial applications in...

    Carb cleaner

    Run a 2 stroke lean at 10,000 RPM's and see what happens. The stuff works ok on a lawnmower. It can save a carb that is slightly gummed up if you can still get some flow through the main jet, it'll clean it up. But I would never try it on a 2 stroke or any other high revving engine. You'll be...
