    need a sticky/link on how to use a basic volt meter

    Re: need a sticky/link on how to use a basic volt meter I think this is what your looking for I did make a small easy diagram that covers a basic Harbor Freight $3 DVOM ( I have a few ) which is available other places like Walmart also. I did hold off on uploading it, just to make sure it was...

    Build vs restore?

    Boating for years, but I'v never had my own. Always have went with my dad, and I havn't able to meet up with him to go fishing/ boating in a couple years. So it's time I get my own. I usually like to build/ restore rather than buy when it comes to lots of stuff. I have a scratch built hotrod...
