    Upgrading trailer tires and rims - need advice

    $106 for galvanized rims alone? I'd have to check but that seems about 50% high. I could be wrong. As for the size. I would think 205/75R14 would be 2" taller and about as big as you can go. Get a Hankook Vantra Trailer tire. They are radial and aside from the Goodyear Endurance ( out of...

    Maxum 17' carpet removal

    I think it would have to be fiberglassed first for this to work at all., being the carpet fibers need to absorb the resin However you want any advice and the best advice is don't.

    2brl mercarb to Holley 2brl?

    It's a Rochester base mounting pattern.. But tuning that will extremely hard due to oxygen sensor limitations ( They don't live long once they get wet ). The Holley self learning, and the system is among the best. But it complicates what is simple and basic but just works when it comes to...

    Connecting 1962 controls to 2004 motor

    Could it work... I 'think'. Since type 33C/3300 cables are what the 2004 Suzuki would use from the factory, and the OMC, can be adapted to use them... Yes mechanically it might work. As long as the control pushes or pulls the cables in the correct direction, or can be adapted to do so. As for...

    Oil pan size

    fill it up with liquid to where a windadge tray would sit and see how many quarts that is. Thereabouts will be 'full'... If it has the dipstick tube in the pan, that is even easier. Keep in mind that a big block engine will use about 3 quarts of the oil pan capacity while running. So if you had...

    Mercruiser 7.3 d-tronic diesel

    It's the same 7.3L that International Navistar built and Ford called the 7.3 Powerstroke. Mercruiser use was short lived, and so parts will be hard to find.. Yours is brand new but eventually you will need parts.

    planning first trip to thousand islands

    When I looked for random dates in June, A bay hotel's hovered around $200 per night, but Clayton had hotels just as nice for $100 per night. a few mins drive is worth $100. We have places of interest in both Clayton and A Bay. I will probably launch and retrieve as I don't know if every...

    planning first trip to thousand islands

    Hotel most likely. Probably in Clayton as the rates are much cheaper. I have not booked anything yet since I don't know exactly when yet

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    The plywood you use better be exterior rated and at least Exposure 1. You can get away with CDX, but BCX or ACX will be a little nicer.. liquid transom solutions won't work on a tinny. not well at least.. I'd be looking at Coosa

    Small Engine Forum Recommendations

    mytractorforum has a pretty good small engine section. However that probably needs a carb rebuild. For the cost of a rebuild you can get a decent aftermarket. Check Amazon for HM 100 carb

    Small engine replacement. LoveJoy shaft connector. How does it remove?

    Predator is 3/4" shaft. I think the second is the diamater of the coupler itself. Tractor supply or other farm store carries them as well.

    Star Craft Acrylic windshield replacement

    The windshield is about 60" wide,. Little more but I don't have the exact measurement, so it should fit on a 4x8 sheet of material.. I was thinking about taking the original out of the frame, and then using Coreplast to wrap around it from the outside to make a pattern and then trim it until it...

    Star Craft Acrylic windshield replacement

    Does anyone think that this windshield can be bent out of lexan or other polycarbonate or acrylic panel? It's been cracked in 1/2 since I've owned it. The previous owners put some cheap clear caulk on it but I put some clear-er Lexel caulk sealant on it. Kind of masks it UDP shows a windshield...

    89 Yamaha Sterndrive bellows and parts

    I couldn't remember which Ken knew about it the stern drives. That's why I didn't say a member name. But Bondo knew. When Yamaha stern drive issues come up, he is really the only source
