    Pink Super Tech (Walmart) -50 RV and Marine ok for engine?? I always thought NO...??

    Best to drain the engine of all water, then use antifreeze to flush out any water left inside. Any trapped water will be pushed out or mixed in antifreeze so it won't freeze. By doing rhis, it makes no difference which you use, but the auto stuff does help stop or slow down rust. The pink...

    Fuel starvation conundrum

    Many of the E rated hoses were junk and lasted only a few years. When mine went bad in less than 3 years, I replaced it with premium A15 fuel line. The gray stuff sold at retail stores is the junk stuff.

    30hp johnson tachometer pluse settings

    Look up the tach mfgr and go from there. In my experience setting the wrong pole only gives a false reading.

    How can I make my Tracker 40 HP faster?

    Low rpm means your motor is laboring...or good for it and it uses much more fuel. Best to have it run near wot rated rpm.

    Crestliner 1650 Console Instruments

    With everyone having GPS on board, I think speedo's have gone by the wayside. GPS is far more accurate anyway. I wouldn't waste my beer tokens on a speedometer.

    Fuel starvation conundrum

    When E fuels came to market, it was highly recommended to change fuel lines over to E rated fuels to keep the old type of hoses from failing. How many folks did that ? My neighbor collects old cars, a out 12 or thirteen from 70-80's. He went thru and replaced all the fuel lines that were made...

    Fuel starvation conundrum

    I bought a small 12v electric fuel pump off Amazon for fuel for less than 15 bucks shipped. Works great for pumping out fuel tanks from snoblowers, rototillers and other toys that need fuel emptied each year. Set a 5 gallon can on the ground and let it rip. By mixing 5 gallons into your car...

    Bad Gas

    Years back, I got some bad gas from a local popular fuel station. Same as you, did the glass container trick, took it to the station and they did nothing. So I waited until 5 o'clock rush, went back and showed all the patrons waiting in line the bad fuel they were about to buy. About two dozen...

    Fuel starvation conundrum

    The cost of replacing all the fuel lines is a drop in the bucket when compared to all the testing and headaches you are going thru. Had an issue with fuel delivery on my outboard last year. Check the fuel line in various places and it looked fine. After the problem continued, I just said...

    Oil in spark plug well

    Not common, but heard that term on ocassion. Many cylinder heads have a recess around the spark plug hole where crap often collects. Thus the reason for blowing around the plug before taking it out. Most just called it a plug recess but some referee them to wells. Just terminology depending...

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    When I had a pickup, I would open the tailgate to see backing up. Then moved to a SUV, that was a great move, easy to see when backing, if needed open the hatch with low empty trailers. When I was a young lad, learning to drive our old Jeep, I added a front hitch along with the rear hitch...

    As does the outer boundary lines, either way, that centerline blocks the ball/coupler connection. Wish I could turn that center line off !

    Considering a 22-25ft cabin cruiser. thoughts?

    Silverton was never classified as a consumer priced/ built boat. Yes there are exceptions, but the majority of glassers were designed to last 25 years or so. Not many well made glassers in the 24' and smaller size. The Marionette does come in a 26', can't say how popular but there have been a...

    Pontoon Repower

    Use lots of caution and do a thorough inspection....your looking at motors that are 25 years old ! Nice ones are out there here, but hard to find and go quickly. Why Johnny dudes ? Much better selection on Mercs, more popular and more sold, so more to choose from...good luck

    Considering a 22-25ft cabin cruiser. thoughts?

    Any glass boat over 25 years of age will have structure issues and it isn't cheap to repair them! Starcraft Chieften or look at Mareinet aluminum boats, aluminum boat are much easier and cheaper to repair and carry a higher resale value, at least here around Lake Erie. I always have a kicker...

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    The crazy part is they have lines that show width on each side, then colors to let you know how close you are. For the most part, the backup camera is great, also has a fish eye lenses so you can see a lot.....as long as it isn't dead center that you need to see. With the outside lines why...

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    My backup camera sucks....Jeep decided to add a dotted centerline on the screen which blocks out the coupler on the trailer ! This line is double side by side and useless when looking for the ball and coupler. Mirrors which I learned when 13 yrs old, work best if you add a pole on each back...
