    OK I’ve had enough.

    Any of you guys ever use this stuff? I use it to shine up dirt bikes, but it works on other stuff too. Spray it on and wipe it off. It goes by other names I think. At $14 at the motorcycle shop, you can probably get it cheaper somewhere else, under a different name.

    E-tec 40 hp

    Hey all. Been a while.... So I got a question on my 40 E-tec. A couple weeks ago I was under the dash working on some wiring and I noticed that under there was a sticker that said "start hour meter at 142 hrs" So I called the guy that I got the boat from and he confirmed with his dad that yes...

    OK I’ve had enough.

    We had a snowmobile trip canceled last weekend for yesterday, that we scheduled like a month ago, due to the snow melting. And, we had the largest cumulative snow in the 4 winters that I’ve been here. I cobbled together this for keeping rain, snow out of the boat for those times when I have...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    I'm familiar with the Bay area. Worked down there a lot. I'm originally from Chico but I lived in Sutter Co. from 95 to 2020. TX was on our list of states to move to. We though about NV, AZ, NM, TX, OR, but for some reason ID wasn't on our list. Our daughter and B/F made a trip to ID in '19 and...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    This first pic is when we were bringing it home from Salt Lake City, memorial day weekend of 2016. My dad owned this car for 25/30 years. He put a 289 in it at one point, wore it out, and then put the 351 in it in 2008. From 08 to 2016 he put 4,000 miles on it. It sat in storage mostly. He had a...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    A supercharger on that 4.6 would be wild!!! I'm in Idaho. That pic was from 2016 when I was still in N.CA. It was due for a smog check in 2020 and in CA it cost me $150 every time I had it smogged. Since I knew we were moving and it had a bad rear main leaking I just never renewed it. So, I...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    Nice. Back in early 05 the wife and I were talking about getting a classic Mustang 65-69. Couple weeks later I saw one of the new retro Mustangs driving down the road. I was like, WTH is that??? So I looked into it and we ended up ordering (first and only time doing that) an 05 GT, in sonic...

    Hunting - tips for old beat up guys like me ;)

    I worked on a ton of ATV's as a side gig. I will say that I would never own a Polaris. I'd say get one of the 3 Japanese brands with my 1 choice being a Honda. Also, I would get one with a centrifugal clutch with shiftable transmission.

    E-tec 40 hp

    Thanks for the replies. I tightened this bolt on the starter. It was pretty loose. I tightened the upper one and the cable connections on the solenoid. I started and stopped about a dozen times and it seems ok. However my volt gauge was down around 11 volts until after a minute or so of running...

    E-tec 40 hp

    Hey all. Since my last post, all has been well with the boat/motor. Used it quite a bit this summer and barring the self-induced problems, and getting those corrected, it's performed very well. Had it out 3 weeks ago, and all was good. This morning, however, I went out to fish. Motor started...

    Chevy pickup window sticker...

    Back around 03 I bought a 98 Dodge 1500 quad cab 4x4. I had it for about 4 years I think. It was a nice truck, I never had any problems with it, other than I had to replace the thermostat at one point. It got the same MPG as my V-10 Ford, (12-12.5 on a good day, unladen) but, towing anything...
