    Venting the fuel tank

    Quick question, do I need to vent an under-deck fuel tank with an outboard motor? If so, what would the set up to vent it look like?

    Now what?

    So I go down to the DMV to get the boat title officially transferred over to me... Alright, so I know I should have done this sooner, but I've been lazy about it, and just got around to doing it now... and I've got the title that's signed, just like I would for a car. But the DMV tells me they...

    Where to get peanut butter supplies

    Where do you get your cab-o-sil and/or wood flour and/or micro baloons to make peanut butter? The place I usually get my supplies from doesn't appear to have them and I need to get some.

    Forum topic change

    I feel silly for not knowing how to do this yet. How can I edit the topic titles for topics that I have started but later want to edit (like to add (pics) to it when pics are added, etc)?

    Brain Buster

    Yesterday Joe was 10 years older than his brother, Pete; however, today Joe is 10 years younger than Pete. How can this be? Rules: Joe and Pete are the same two people yesterday as they are today. Neither of the brothers were born in a leap year. They did not change their names. Good luck!

    Another rebate thread, this time political

    Ok, the title lied a bit, it's pretty hard to talk politically about something that all parties supported. That being said however, something struck me as I was driving to work today... I was thinking about how the country is slipping into a recession and then I got to thinking about prior...

    19 days

    After reading a news story on the 60 billion barrel oil fields in the faulkland islands that are being drilled, I thought I'd check some figures just for fun to see if that is more or less than the amount of oil the government has dumped into salt caves in Texas since 9/11 (the strategic oil...

    Next project

    So I've been thinking lately, once the boat is done, I think I'd like to take on the project of building a plane from scratch. I'm thinking a 2 seater with the passenger behind the pilot, fly by wire controls, and no IVR equipment or guages. It's also more than likely that any plane I built...

    Spring is sneaking up on us!!

    I planted my first batch of corn today which reminded me that spring is sneaking up on us really fast! Almost boating season guys (and gals)... I know it's early to be planting corn, but I start mine indoors a few weeks before it gets put outside, so it won't have to face the weather till the...

    Tracking guns

    You know how the FBI already has that database of ballistic fingerprints with bullets from past crimes? Well I got to thinking... why don't we have a law that states that the gun manufacturers must test-fire each gun off the line, and enter that bullet into the database and link it to the...

    The amazing ride

    I thought this belonged in stupid human tricks, and technically I did go fishing at one point, so it definately belongs here. Most of you know my wife, son and I recently got back from a vacation in Orlando, FL. Well when we got back, I was surprised to find that my keychain with my electronic...

    I'm BAAAACK!

    Hey everyone. I just got back from Orlando today, or, well, technically yesterday now. I have to say, you Florida folks really got it made. It was sunny and warm the whole time I was down there. Perfect boating weather... in the middle of winter! Well, starting to get close to the end of...

    garbage disposals

    Well my garbage disposal got stopped up yet again. I already got it unstuck, but I'm curious, it does this about 4 times a year, do those of you with newer garbage disposals have the same problem, or do the newer ones jam up less frequently?

    Crazy gas saving scheme, will it work?

    So I was just doing some odd browsing the other day, and ran accross this site selling what amounts to a mason jar with an anode and cathode to use Electrolysis to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, which then simply runs through a tube into the intake manifold to be burned in the engine...
