    Primer Bulb

    https://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/primer.html Orientation It is also advantageous if the primer bulb can be position in such a way that during priming it can be oriented vertically, with the direction arrow pointing skywards. This will allow gravity and the weight of the fuel inside...

    Primer Bulb

    Otherwise your pumping the trapped water back into the system. Sounds like the system is air locked. If you've lost "prime", which you obviously have if you replaced the hoses, no amount of "pumping" is going to prime the system against the dead head of a fuel pump or separating filter in...

    Primer Bulb

    Couple of things… The seperator is not in the correct location in the delivery system. The correct order is tank - separator - primer bulb - motor. Fuel must be “sucked” thru the separator, not pumped thru the seperator. The separator must be full of fuel or you will never get it the bulb...

    75 HP Honda running horribly

    Where the fuel line connects to the tank there should be a anti-ship (check) value. It looks like a normal hose fitting, but it’s not Did you remove or replace?

    Upgrading trailer tires and rims - need advice

    If you see ANY cracking or dry rot on a sidewalk of the tire, your long past the tires “expiration date” of 6 years from date of manufacturer. Was reminded of this last Spring when we took the horse trailer on a 400 mile round trip. Checked everything on the trailer prior to leaving...

    Upgrading trailer tires and rims - need advice

    And I wonder why some like myself that run many, many miles a year and have never lost a tire in 25 years of towing while others loose tires, sometimes multiple, on a regular basis? Hummmm

    Boat trailer rusting at welds galvanized

    Back in the old days they sprayed fish oil on the under carriages of their beach buggies (trucks) to protect from SW damage while on the beach. Now a days, such endeavors would draw the ire of the local Natural Resources Authorities. Locally, it's illegal to cause and or leave a (petroleum)...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    EV is in its infancy. Give it time…case in point. My great grandmother was 3 when the Wright Brothers first took flight. She was 59 when she took a jet from Cleveland to Hawaii to see her second born son. She was 69 when she watched the moon landing on my Grand parent’s color TV. The year...

    Mercury Spitfire X7 vs Solas Titan HR 4

    You didn’t say what HP motor. Need HP to utilize the benefits of stainless. If you’ve already trashed a prop, I’d be very leery spending $500 on a SS prop for what will most likely be the bling factor anyhow.

    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    Couple of problems with that transducer.. The first is power. Unless they changed the specs of the head unit since I installed mine a couple of years ago, the unit is rated to run 600W conventional, 500W side scan. The transducer you selected/came with the unit is rated at 350W. Your leaving a...

    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    In simple terms it the motion of the ocean. Up down, back and forth. Just like the blur induced taking a picture of a moving object, the same blur happens to side scan when the boat is bouncing around. In reality, I find side scan pretty useless on open water. Comes in handy though scanning...

    Adding straight gas to mix

    Are you sure about that? “Ethanol does not "grab water molecules out of the air." It is hydrophilic, which means ethanol holds water. With regular gasoline (E0) as well at E10, the primary cause of water collecting in tanks is condensation on tank walls. But unlike E0, which can absorb almost...

    Trust the dealer?

    It would push a #300 boat at speed. Not sure about adding two “adults”. Bear in mind an “adult” in boating terms weighs #150
