    2023 March Madness

    A good team will actually break the full court press and score easily off of it.

    Charleston? Purdont shouldn't even be a #1 seed. They were 3-4 in their last 7 regular season games or something like that.

    Battery question

    I just replaced a perfectly good 4 1/2 year old battery on my F150 because we go long distances towing with it and I was just being conservative. Sucks being stuck on a trip especially for a battery that is hard to find like my truck battery is.

    Battery question

    On this battery you just replaced, has it ever gone completely dead before? How old was it?

    Battery question

    This is a standard way that a battery fails. It is especially true of batteries that have been accidently fully discharged once or twice. Starting batteries for vehicles have a lot of surface area on their plates. When a battery gets discharged like this, they sulfate which means a coating forms...

    Battery question

    Put the meter on it and try to start it. See what the battery voltage drops to during the start. A fully charged battery with no capacity left will still measure ok with no load. Better yet, buy one of the cheap load testers like they have at Harbor Freight...

    forward drive/bravo 4

    If you want a forward drive on a boat...sell your boat and buy one with one. The wakesurfing is going to suck unless you put a lot of ballast in your boat. A 21' boat will not be big enough to get a big enough wake. In addition, you will have to get big tabs to create the wake. Most boats that...

    Ever buy a boat to big for your garage.

    Much bigger. I have a few other friends with even bigger garages. My brother has one that is 40' x 60' that he can play pickleball inside when his motor home isn't in it. It's also heated. This is in addition to his normal 3 car garage.

    Ever buy a boat to big for your garage.

    My 26' Cobalt fits in my friend's garage...along with a few other boats and a 29' travel trailer. It's a big garage!

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    I would never pay $50 for the one Mercruiser sells. With my 3D printer and my sewing machine, it costs me around $1 to make this thing so I figured I will give it a try.

    First plane ride/snow !

    I love airplanes. I love them them so much I got my pilot's license. Been over 20 years since I actually flew myself though. Was actually going to build my own airplane at one point until I thought better of that with all the time it takes.

    First plane ride/snow !

    The thing that amazes me is that this is your first time on an airplane. The snow part is also pretty amazing.

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    There is an additional port(secondary port) on the nose of the drive that needs to be blocked off when on muffs. If you don't, you will lose water and possibly suck up air too.

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    LOL...yeah you can buy something in a box from China and it is likely counterfeit. I am a cyclist and I buy Shimano components which are all made in Japan for the higher end parts. You can also buy them from China...of course the chance of them being counterfeit is almost 100% Saying all of...

    Perfect...thank you very much. I will likely make the strap slightly longer just to be safe.
