    Refrigerator 1.9cu ac/dc

    Had one years ago like that. My brother connected the two wires at the control together in the morning, let it get as cold as possible then unhooked. Good for the day anyway, we sold it shortly after. A new controll would have been better.

    Refinishing mohogany swim deck - what should I use?

    Thats different. Have a pic of it? I like teak oil as you don't have to sand and fix varnish all the time. Just a wipe with a rag and done.

    Refinishing mohogany swim deck - what should I use?

    If its teak, you can use teak oil only. You have to re-apply it twice a season but it won't chip and flake off like a varnish would.

    Cmc tilt and trim, Help

    On a side note, any splices you make should be heat shrink connections. This prevents corrosion at the joints. And wire nuts are not to be used on any boat per Abyc standards. I'm sure you didn't put them wire nuts on there, the po probably did. Hope you get it figured out!

    How long for water in an I/O to freeze?

    I've seen a tractor block freeze overnight and the temp only dropped from 50 degrees to 25 overnight. It warmed up to to 50 the next day but all the water was in the oil pan. Wasn't mine but the owner had just got it running from an overhaul and wanted to see it run.

    2018 bentley 200 Fish - glove-box push button latch

    It's a bit hard to find an exact match. Boat builders get their hardware from the lowest bidder in bulk, and then move on to a different vendor. Usually you have to modify your existing panel to fit a new latch.

    Garboard drain cover

    I recently purchased this boat and had a survey done and the hull was good. I've far to many that were surveyed good that are in fact not. Best check with the previous suggestions.

    Opinions on shop's quoted Bravo 3 maintenance cost

    Depends if they come across any issues. Stuck corroded bolts and things like that. An 04 may come apart nicely. Or not. Still labor rates vary in spots also.

    Getting started in northern Washington.

    I have to agree with gc. The plywood floor just stuffed in there is a red flag in itself. Who knows if floatation was installed. Myself may buy it but I know how to fix it up properly. Who knows what else is wrong. I boat on lake superior, and get my butt whooped at times, it changes from flat...

    CCA for a 30hp 2 cycle Evinrude tiller

    you should have a separate battery for the trolling motor. Unless you have a pull start for the main motor.

    CCA for a 30hp 2 cycle Evinrude tiller

    Shouldn't need much. How old is it? Even on my old school 28hp Evinrude I prefer a group 31 with at least 750 CCA. A group 21 would suffice but I like more capacity.

    Cracked spark plug porcelain-timing?

    Quote: Timing - you're going to see with the timing light at idle with "vacuum advance disconnected" should be between 8-12 degrees BTDC. Were ever the motor idles the smoothest. Unquote. Marine distributors don't have vaccume advance. If it does, it has the wrong dizzy in it, not marine rated.

    Wheelchair Accessible Resto-mod

    Don't know what size batterys you are using, I put a group 31 in the seat on my toon. It's in a battery box also, fits fine. I also installed vents in the seat base to vent the vapors.

    Small Hole Repair - Good Idea or Bad Idea?

    Might be just me, but no. The wood will expand/contract over time and pop out the repair. You apparently have the epoxy, mix with a touch of cabosil and fill with that. A lot more permanent repair.

    1980 85 hp evinrude starting problems

    You never stated if you are using premium fuel, or if you are maby the po didn't. The ethanol fuel likes to degrade the older fuel lines. That might explain the new crud in the carbs.
