    Charging trolling motor batteries

    If there was a good way to charge them I think electric cars would use it instead of having to be plugged in.

    1968 Evinrude 9.5 over heating

    Well, I forgot about those type of gaskets. thanks' for the reminder. lol Also I've read that those metal shim gaskets may contain asbestos. No big deal, and the old timers would soak them in water to swell them back up and let them dry for re-use.

    1968 Evinrude 9.5 over heating

    it. Question, I work on a lot of vintage cars and trucks. On those its normal when I replace a head gasket I coat the gasket and metal surfaces with copper coat for a good seal, Should I do the same with this? What? Never apply sealant to a head gasket. If machined properly no sealer is needed.

    Bolts/screws boke off, thread/pipe tap -size? Alpha One Gen 2

    If those are the bonding wires, just drill a new hole next to the old broken one, being sure to drill where the wire will reach. Then use a ss screw as stated above. Drilling the old screw out never results in a good time.

    I/O 18 ft. Does it sit too low in the stern?

    That sounds like the transom boot/seal. A pic would verify. Easy repair if that's it.

    Preparation before applying 5200

    4200 can be removed later if need be. 5200, not even the best adhesive remover will take it off.

    Preparation before applying 5200

    Step 1: Throw out the 5200. Step 2: Get the 4000 or 4200. Step 3: As stated why seal the exterior of the outdrive? if it's leaking it's in need of transom work.

    Still no power

    The risers get constant water flow. The seawater pump moves water to them constantly. The thermostat does not have to open to cool the manifolds. However the thermostat keeps the block at a good operating temperature. You say the seawater pump is leaking, yes it’ll suck air also. Replace it.

    Boat accident at dusk

    Had that happen when I almost hit a paddle boat out in our 340 acre lake. I wasn’t going fast but at midnight and no moon you couldn’t see much. Suddenly a flicker ahead of me, paddle boat and a bic lighter. I turned and barley grazed them. They got an earful. My lights were on.

    Pontoon scissor trailer - locking pin doesn't align when top rack cranked up

    Maby it’s supposed to be bent up more? Edit. Could we suppose the lift arms up front are compromised? If they were slightly longer it would come up higher.
