    2021/22 - CFB

    UCLA beat LSU. How did Florida do against them? Maybe the SEC should play 9 conference games like other conferences do! Maybe play vandy twice!

    Oil sheen in water after start up

    I had that problem on the boat I just sold. Was a leaking engine oil cooler. Look at your engine oil level carefully. I almost ran my engine out of oil. Not sure if your engine even has one.

    Volvo Penta 4.3GL and SX Cobra outdrive service manuals

    It's going to be a BY or a WT depending on what time of year the engine/drive was produced. Look for those two letters in your model number. If it has Cobra markings, It will be a BY more than likely. BY was the last model year for the Cobra SX

    Kicking around another hair-brained idea

    Yep...my friend bought an electric cart(AGM batteries) that was once owned by the Peterson Auto museum. This thing is fast. It was used on an airport and never been registered for street. I added a horn for them and it already had the turn signals and brake/head lights. Registered it easily.

    I am currently building a 560AH 13V battery for around $1600. If you build it yourself, it's very reasonable.

    What type of oil and lube to use

    I used to use the Mobil 1 gear lube until they put in friction modifiers. After that, and also based on DonS's recommendation, I only used the Volvo Penta gear lube.

    Kicking around another hair-brained idea

    A 13V 100AH lithium battery weighs between 25# and 30# and you can discharge it 100% without damage. It now sounds you just want to get a gas car...Buy a used Smart Car! They are small and cheap.

    Update to using Toilet bowl cleaner for hull and bottom

    Buy oxalic acid on ebay. It's basically what is already in the Starbrite hull cleaner at a fraction of the price. Used it for years

    Battery gauge

    The Victron solutions are the best. The Victron Smart Shunt is only $135 if you don't mind just using your phone. On my travel trailer, I use the Victron BMV-712

    Kicking around another hair-brained idea

    I would make it electric with lithium batteries but that's just me. Making my self a 560AH lithium pack for my travel trailer from cells from China....once they get here. Would be an easy task making them whatever voltage you want for your Kart!

    2021 NFL/NCAAF News and Nonsense

    LOL....so kids going to public schools should demand not getting MMR, Dtap, chicken pox and other vaccines necessary to be enrolled in school? If you are in the military, there are even more!
