    SeaStar HC5345 Looking for Spacer?

    A picture would be helpful. Guessing from your description…are you sure the system is completely bleed? Only thing I can think of that would cause “slack” in the system

    How accurate do you need? 1.0 (0.039”) to 3.0 (0.118”) is a pretty narrow range. Could buy a set of wire drills to cover that range rather cheap These cover your range for $10...

    chesapeake blue angels

    You made the right decision… As an avid fisherman, I’ve been plying the open waters of the Chesapeake going on 45 years. Even with all my skill and experience, I would not make that trip on a pontoon boat. Far too many scenarios where a pontoon is totally inadequate for the conditions.

    At issue is not the technology or cost, it’s the skill sets required to support them. It’s gone from turning wrenches to plugging in a laptop. The younger guys at work are constantly making performance modifications to their cars. With that knowledge, they too are only limited by budget I can...

    225 mercury saltwater temperature rising after shut off

    Peeing isn’t a good indication of internal flow. Some are plumbed separately from the cooling loop Increasing temp at shut off would point to a “hot spot” within the cooling circuit. Check the poppit valve

    Minn Kota Trolling Motor Faulty switch or coil?

    Glad you sorted it out. For giggles, check continuity through the switch from the power input terminal to the other terminals. Has to be something on the input side of the switch. Only point of failure common between the speed outputs

    Minn Kota Trolling Motor Faulty switch or coil?
