    Tin Rig Tow Vehicle

I know a lot about Olds, Buick, and Cadillac, mainly because those are the Brands I have owned, 2 Olds, 3 Buicks, and 5 Cadillacs. Current ownership, licensed, insured and on the...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    The motor looks a little low, but it is also trimmed in at the moment. The Rounded edge of where the Transom meets the bottom concerns me. That too will send water upwards, and steal a few MPH from the top speed. Getting rid of the wing thing should reduce a lot of that Water Fountain back...

    Spreading Manure, again

    Go back a year or two, and read BT's original Fawning of this prop. The Informercial, which is all it was, was so poorly done, and full of errors, that it wasn't even credible. A couple of weeks later they brought forth a Cleaned Up Infomercial with 'revised' Data and Comparisons, but it was...

    OMC 3.8l dying at high rpm and weird cranking issue.

    All engines that discharge the Exhaust underwater face this, In outboard an Idle Relief is in the design to let exhaust gases out above the Waterline at Idle and low Speed.
