    Vintage Tire Issues

    Ditto on the trailer. My boat came on a rickity old Holesclaw trailer that I figured I could fix up. Once I totalled up the parts cost and straightining the bent tongue, I was at a marine dealer snagging a brand new Venture trailer for about $500 under MSRP. This was late march 2020 so I was...

    boat fuse panel

    Yep. Looks like you have an older 6 circuit blue sea systems. They make an ATC fuse block that will wire the same. It might even use the same mounting holes.

    It's a push type connector that does the same thing as a wire nut but a little bit nicer of a finished product

    the 2 black wires. You could check with a volt meter to be sure. Is it 240V? There may be more wires

    Portable electric heater Thermostat jump

    The thermostat within that unit will use mains voltage on the hot leg to switch it on and off like a light switch. What you need to do is cut the connectors off, strip the wires and insert them into a Wago connector... Yes a wire nut wrapped in tape could work too, but I'd use a Wago for that

    1992 Bayliner Classic 15'

    Where do you see 15'? That model should have an ID tag and Brunswick/ Bayliner can assist you as they actually have the records. The Capri 1500 appears to only be 1988/1989 and it's a little over 14.5' LOA.

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Have one of those stores in my home town, although I don't go there often. They sell compound and crossbows and full stock of ammo in their sportsmans section if you can afford their prices. They don't have an FFL so no firearms. Cool store but prices are out there.

    Yup. I only said it because those sites have Makarov. You will likely never see it at a gun shop

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Good deal. When you go ammo shopping online always make sure you get 9mm Luger or 9x19mm. 9x18mm Makarov is sometimes listed as 9mm Makarov. Not always, it's usually sold with it's full dimensions listed where 9x19mm is sold as 9mm with Luger in small print in most cases

    Ski Twin Vs Big Twin is a different motor. The generators may be the same, but brackets likely won't interchange

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    none sell in unissued condition, however there is a batch of Chinese SKS floating around packed in grease with the bayonets for a little under $500. I think Palmetto State Army is the last one with any of the rifles.. Mine is a Norinco imported that was in a plastic stock but it still had the...

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    Yup. I generally buy 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R as the 2 rifles I've had the longest is an SKS and a Mosin Nagant 91/30. It's generally in the $8-15 per box of 20 for whatever Russian brand is available. Target Sports USA gets me what I want in a couple days, and the shipping starts at $15, but is...

    9mm Ammo Recommendations

    I don't have a 9mm, but I would use CCI Blazer. They make a 124 grain FMJ. I use Target Sports USA. Cheaper shipping and generally better prices and selection than Outdoor Limited. They feed my old Military surplus rifles as cheap as possible, although the 6.5 Carcano I just bought I had to get...

    NEW TIRES!

    Yes, they list all the possible ways to rotate tires, however you really don't want to do a front/ back only rotation unless the tires are directional

    NEW TIRES!

    Cross fronts to the rear and bring the rears straight forward. That puts the tires on every position on the vehicle every 4 rotations.
