More than likely they're contemplating offering tax refunds (road tax) for fuels consumed in a boat.
A number of States are now offering to refund the "road tax" portion of your fuel if you submit receipts at the end of the year or........justification to move money from transportation budget...
I have a 2-3 in the top of my tool box left from a batch I bent up years ago.
Do yourself a favor and get a piece of 5/32" TIG/gas welding rod and make your own ;)
The two great unexplained mysteries in my life……
The trailer coming off the ball at the bottom of the driveway at 4:15 am and the winch cable detaching from the boat while pulling up the ramp.
None for worst for wear in both situations, but I remind myself daily that both situations had...
The issue is the hardness of the gears.
They work until the clearance in the gears surfaces are worn away. Still work but takes a lot more effort.
Have not run into any issues finding a replacements in either the horse or boating worlds. Changed a welded on a-frame jack for a guy a couple of...
Digging into their website, their API SN certification number is posted.
The reference to NMMA FC-W is different......
From the data sheet for marine oils.....

SPECIFICATIONS...
Deceptive marketing…
They list three specifications, but find it interesting they don’t claim to be “certified” to any of the standards nor do they claim to “meet” any of the specifications.

Properly sized, Speedi-Sleeves are a loose press fit....0.003" of clearance. With a bit of Permatex as a lubricate, they are not going anywhere
If I remember correctly, you drive them on the axle with a piece of 2" PVC
Sounds like I'm the exception......
I have "Chinese" carbs on chain saw, golf cart, pole saw and blower. In the case of the golf cart, going on 4 seasons now.
I had to adjust the idle and fuel mixture to suit, but otherwise so far so good.
Don’t know this particular motor, but most of that era where analog,
There is an option of going to digital with the installation of an analog to digital convertor, but information provided by the convertor is typically limited to a small subset of the data available in a true digital to...
Check your winch manual…..
I was going to do the same on mine. Downloaded the manual to see if I had to do anything special. I was surprised they were very specific as to the orientation of the strap (handle rotation) due to the design of the locking design of the gears
Bad idea....
Shaft seals are a friction interface. They require tight tolerance shafting with specific hardness and surface finish to maintain the long term integrity of a seal. If you can feel a groove with your finger nail, the shaft needs to be replaced or resurfaced
How many know your...
Bought something similar (bearing buddy I beleive) a while back to resolve a worn wear surfaces on my front spindles.
Bought a kit very similar to the one you noted. Used o-rings for sealing and required a larger than stock seal to accommodate the sleeve.
Wasn't going there. still in the junk...
Bought a knock off pole saw a few years back.
Fired right up but had a 50/50 chance of bogging when you hit the throttle. Screwed with for a week or so and set it aside since I finished the job it was purchased for.
Saw a carb for the unit popup on Amazon. What the heck for $20. After a bit...
