My brother in law used to, now he is cleaning house and offered me his rack and drying motor setup.<br /><br />It might be something to get into on those long winter nights, but how many do you need to build before you get good at it? And how many...

    3M 5200 source?

    I live in a small town but we do have 3 hardware stores, 3 auto parts stores, and the only Kmart in 60+ miles. I have tried them all, and none carry 3M 5200. None have heard of it. And none have an alternative below water level sealant.<br />Where can I get some without paying $15 shipping on a...

    O/B electric fuel pump

    Has any manufacturer ever built an o/b with an electric fuel pump?<br />OR....<br /><br />Since we can't start the bigger ones without power anyway, why not? It seems they rarely fail on cars or other equipment. While there seems to be quite a few failures on outboards.

    Force external T/T , no manual release

    I've got a '95 Force 70 hp with the external tilt and trim pump, the one that uses motor oil and is filled with the engine lowered. It has no manual release. <br /><br />If I should have a leak or line break, the motor should lower down, right? And I might be able to manually raise it up to get...

    OMC model year confusion

    I am looking at a small Johnson portable,<br />MOD. NO. JCOCUA, SER. NO. B 7361481. The "CU" makes it a 1987. But the hp is another question. The "O" should be the hp rating. But it can't be zero. <br /><br />I don't think they ever used the "introduces" code for the hp. But if they did, this...

    Boat registration renewal $$$$$????

    I'm curious as to how much we all pay to register our boats in different states or countries.<br /><br />In Wisconsin it is based on the length of your boat, and you renew for a 3 year period. The prices are as follows: <br />Up to 16' in length = $16.50 <br />16' to 26' = $24.00 <br />26' to...
