    Trim relays

    Check on the center of the back of the motor for a black box about 5 x 3" or so. Two screws take the cover off and the relays or in the box if it is the same as my old 1990.

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    Interesting Article; It infers that in my case 95% of my towing could be done with an EV truck. 84 thousand for the EV is only a couple of thou more than a new 2500 diesel would be equipped the same as my 2002.

    Rec gas prices???

    If I drive 15 miles one way our 92 rec is 4.89 as of today. In another month we will fill up 4 5gal containers for chainsaws, motorcycles, and boat. Fishing starts then and I only burn less than 10 gallons all year in the boat.

    Rec gas prices???

    It's all a matter of perspective. Many container ships that call on the U.S. now are considered post-Panamax or New Panamax, named so because they are larger and can go through the newer, larger locks on the Panama Canal. Ships in that size range can carry between 2.5 million and 3.5 million...

    Received a Ray Jefferson 5000M Marine Radio, but don't know how to use it?

    Just for starters; https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Boating/Safety/Marine-VHF-Radio--The-Basics A lot depends on where you boat. In 35 years of law enforcement on a small 1800 acre inland reservoir I only recall two or three communications on marine band. One was a Coast Guard Aux safety patrol...

    Are we in trouble?

    Agree. I would not make a snap decision without more information on the replacement engine. Warranty on workmanship and new motor? Don't rush into the sale, ask for a few days to think it through. Dealer is going to have time and money doing the replacement which may make him reticent to...

    He won't get far. Those wheels on a trailer jack don't last long at highway speeds. Don't even ask how I know.

    Bow Trolley on Trailer instead of Winch, stock

    A first for me too. Like someone posted before it looks like it would be great for power loading. I can think of a few times in over 70 years operating boats I could have used something like that. Probably added too much extra cost, weight, and with many areas having bans on power loading to...

    Boats are required to be registered in the state of principal use. In Pennsylvania a boat brought in from another state must be registered in PA after 60 days of being brought in. Just looked up FL and it seems it is 30 days there...

    Hook up boat engine to permanent magnet generator.

    Ford did not change to alternators in all vehicles until 1965, I remember changing the generator in my 1963 Econoline van with a GM alternator when the original generator went south.

    Is it feasible to straighten a prop shaft?

    Since you already have a junk bent shaft laying around go ahead and play with that one. If you can get it to within .004" runout then try to do the one you want fixed. You have nothing to lose except for the time spent learning a new skill.
