    Pricing restored boats

    True BUUUTT It is not correct. Aluminum and S S when whetted by salt water becomes a case of Galvanic Corrosion. The Aluminum surface is attacked by saltwater chemical action and transfers to the S S metal surface. Why almost every good Aluminum boat uses Aluminum carrying handles at the...

    Pricing restored boats

    S S parts should not contact Aluminum. Aluminum parts on a Aluminum boat. I would remove the S S statement. The blue & white inside of the hull would look & sell faster if it was just normal Aluminum finishes. Boats are not usually bought for looking like a Resto Mod car. Hope you get lucky. (y)

    New to Volvo family

    Well lets see about all this Boat Wandering on any idling speed. Strange virus and infection of O B and S D boats only. Never noticed in REAL inboard motored boats. With a separate REAL RUDDER. That is BIG ENOUGH for the boat. Oh well.

    Anyone know of a Honda Grass trimmer dealer with good prices?

    Pleasant surprise on my new Stihl model FSA 57 trimmer. Instead of the normal 2 year warranty. It has a 3 year warranty.

    Mid1980's Mercury 2cyl 35hp Spark Plug Question

    Showing TCW-3 oil containers would prevent some new people from buying 4 stroke and mixing it at 50 : 1 ratio.

    8 to 10 Dinghy

    Well does you boat have a transom walk thru opening ? If yes ? How wide is the opening at the deck / floor opening ? There are many NARROW electric wheelchairs only 24" wide. I did a search on line. The rear transom opening solves a lot of very dangerous jury-rigs. Only a simple flat piece of...

    8 to 10 Dinghy

    Where on the cruiser will you tie the 10 ' down ? My concern would be can it be secured high enough to not be hit by very rough water waves ? I helped load handicapped people into 25' speed boats. AT THE DOCK. We had several close calls due to size and weights being swung out 8' and lowered...

    Broken Spark plug

    DO NOT LET any parts DROP into the engine !!!! Loads of engine work could then be needed to find & remove. If a part does drop in ?? Beg or buy a LONG powerful skinny magnet to try and get lucky finding the part.

    I listened to you run it again You are Teasing the WOT setting. I saw the throttle being slightly moved back and forth a smidge. Hold the throttle twist against FULL POWER position for 15 seconds.

    1996 Evinrude 15HP Stuttering/Surging approaching & at WOT

    I would do the WOT run and allow the engine to do the steady missing routine for about 30 seconds. Then slow down RAPIDLY and immediately stop the engine. Pull each plug out. Look for oil wetness. Black stuff deep inside the plug. Any difference between the 2 plugs is a strong clue to a...
