    Cruise lines

    If it is piece and quiet that you have in mind, a cruise ship is not what you want. Half the time it feels like a circus with too many people in too small a place and you can't get off.

    Windshield replacement

    Since it looks like a piece of straight glass without a special bend or angle , you can just go to your local glazier with the frame, explain to him what it is for so he knows what sort of glass to use and he will cut you a new one. I had all the windows replaced on my Starcraft Islander without...

    My mother in law (of blessed memory) broke her leg on a cruise to the Galapagos islands. She was transported from the cruise ship to Lima by helicopter to a private hospital. After 2 weeks in that hospital she was flown by private plane from Lima to Rochester,NY. She had a good travel insurance...

    Golden Jubilee Evi Sportwin 10 - Should I convert?

    That is a very beautiful outboard. If the inside is as well kept as the outside, you will enjoy it for years to come I would open the cowling and see if it has a fuel pump. A lot of them have been converted over the years. Often without changing the connectors Personally, I would go the fuel...

    replacing transom, has anyone used AL square tube instead of wood?

    I think It would be a lot cheaper and better looking if you use properly treated marine ply. If you treat it the proper way and give it a lick of paint every few years, it can easily last for 40 years.

    more lamprey info

    Funny, but it is not so much the River Thames. It is those industrious Dutch in their efforts to turn the swamps and lakes in the Rhine and Meuse river delta into arable land and the huge dams they built in the southern parts of the country. Add to that the incredible pollution that used to come...

    The Fish Thief a Great Lakes mystery

    Just watch the documentary. It is about 90 minutes and very well done. If the lamprey is not treated the entire Great Lakes fishery will collapse again.

    How many very new 4 stroke engines will be running trouble free at age 50 to 75 years old ?

    I have the feeling that specially low hp motors will all be replaced by noiseless clean very simple electric motors run off some advanced sort of battery. And their very simplicity and easily replaced parts will cause them to be the longest lasting outboards.

    Real ID

    Every airline that you buy a ticket from has had this real ID thing date and warning for at least the past year. Today I am not sure that you can even buy a ticket for any date after real ID is required without proof that you have real ID. So only for the very ignorant will this be a surprise

    Real ID

    Not everyone who can get a drivers license can be allowed to get a passport, or real ID. Like criminals on parole or probation who are not allowed to leave a certain area. That's why drivers licenses cannot automatically be real id.

    Need help/opinions identifying noise

    Try and take a 2 or 3 pound hammer and while the engine is running press it against the flywheel housing in different places. See if the noise changes. If it does, the housing is loose somewhere

    Wondering if you can use your daily meds as a poison? Contraceptive pills will help control the population. It works on pigeons so why not rats?
