    Continental Trailer Leaf Spring to Torsion Axle Conversion

    I wouldn’t think so given the rotational forces applied by a torsion axle. The web (vertical portion) of the channel carries the load. The flanges can be drilled with no affect on their load bearing capabilities.

    Water stains

    Sounds like you need to increase your solution strength bit if you have to scrub I use Atwood biodegradable hull (10% Oxalic acid) cut down 4:1 with water. Spray on with garden sprayer. Start at bow and work my way back. By the time I’m done spraying, 5 minutes tops, the hull is clean and ready...

    Best homeopathic (???) treatment for arthritis??

    If they have you on Allopurinol, you have gout not arthritis per say. Very different cause and treatment than “arthritis.” My mother suffered with gout on a regular basis until she went to assisted living. Once there, they made sure she took her medicine on time everyday and adjusted her diet...

    Deformed water pump housing, sign of overheat?

    Don’t see anything to be alarmed about. Pretty sure the housing is ABS. If that is the case, it is highly susceptible to wear. Wear could have been caused by a loose fitting liner cup. Hard to tell from pictures but the rubber looks old and swollen, not melted. How old is the motor? How many...

    Smelly 2-Stroke

    Water temps have a huge affect on the amount of smoke. My motor smokes all day once water temps drop into the 40’s F. Simply not enough heat at low rpm (900-1000) to keep motor at operating temp. Watch pressure gauge play ping pong all day as the stats open and close trying to regulate...

    Smelly 2-Stroke

    Assuming your engine is in tip top shape and in tune, I find semi-synthetic to perform best for me. Don’t be impatient… it will take several tanks of fuel to clean out residual oil from the motor Alway “drive” into the wind oil smokes when burnt That you only real solution if you want to...

    Prop diameter and pitch stamp incorrect

    Digging into this a bit, the SMC 345 (item # 082030) is advertised as a 15 x 17 prop. Coincidence your 1820 matches 3 of the item numbers in sequence?

    Looking for reefs with Raymarine Element

    Base charts are useless….I highly doubt your reefs are marked What are you expecting the chart to do for you? Even if the locations are marked, the unit still requires input from you to get to the location. Easier to plug in the coordinates and save as a Way Point for future use. You have...
