    Yes a real shame ,peeps out having fun and ......☹️ I dunno if its a true representation of whats really going on but, after watching LOTS of youtube vids of US boaters I am a bit surprised at some of the situations they get in (ie Haulover ) huge waves ,boats overloaded and still nobody is...

    Mercruiser 3.0 overheated, Is my motor shot?

    Or you could just man up and get the wife to put her finger over the plug hole while you turn the key 😁. Sounds like the valve in your compression tester is jammed open ,they look like a car tire valve ,maybe the centre core is bent .

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    Yeah but😁. If I measure the same thing with the same gauge and get a different reading each time not only do I not have precision but accuracy must also be bad . If I get the same wrong reading each time its precise but inaccurate? My range finder only displays yards or metres with no smaller...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    I think that you can prove accuracy on most stuff by checking consistency . Check the same thing a few times and see if you get the same reading ,if you get good consistency it reasonably safe to assume the thing is telling the truth depth or distance wise (I just done this with my new...

    Mercruiser 3.0 overheated, Is my motor shot?

    Sounds like you got on it quickly , specially if the smoke was from the rubber exhaust bits. You dont really want to be pulling big bits off . Maybe the heads took a hit but if you pull them and see the bore aint so flash you'll wanna do them........can of worms Make sure the oil is ok , fix...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    Totally get it 😁. I have lots of old stuff and ( looking at my row of Tilley and coal miners lamps ) if I can polish them up they look great ......but if I can get them working too, well .....icing on the cake😁. Huh😄 takes a few minutes to crank up a Tilley lamp and I can see my immediate...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    I dont have the humminbird any more. 🤔 If you get lucky and id or find the correct head unit you have the (possible ) bonus of it being plug and play , but your then stuck with what I suspect is fairly dated technology ....inc the transducer if there is one . If you go new you will have to...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    Looks like the whole harness for a fishfinder ,and the mounting bracket . I wouldn't be surprised if there was a transducer fixed to the inside of the hull. Im picking the two biggest holes in that plug will be 12vdc . Stick a volt meter or test light in there and see if you cant find power ...

    Lower gear oil drain plug seal for Johnson outboard

    Haven't done this myself but a friend who suffers paranoia about drain plugs with nylon (or whatever they are ) sealing washers and he dunks them ( the screw and washer ) in a cup of boiling water to soften them just before installing them and then hand tightens them wth the bf screwdriver. I...
