    Are there any Xenforo Web App Experts Among Us?

    It isn't bad, I prefer the fora software setup better (been a mod on both). I have noticed most forums setup like this one have generally migrated to the xenforo.

    When I was in, our port and weekend safety briefings usually consisted of: "Don't add to or subtract from the local population and if you end up in jail, establish dominance early"

    Tonneau Cover

    My latest truck came with a BAKflip hard tri-fold. I'm usually partial to soft covers but this one does the job.

    What Brand of Brake pads are best quality? What do you guys use for quality?

    The combo I've used for over a decade now on all mine are Power Stop slotted rotors (not drilled, not dimpled, only slots) with their Z23 pads. Performance/non- performance, car & truck alike. The only vehicle I have that doesn't have the PS rotors is the SRT because it it still has the...

    NYC Accident

    Sal's latest take: I didn't think it would have one (EAGLE doesn't) but I have seen CPP failures happen just like this, specifically the Rolls-Royce units. Happened to a 225' large buoy tender out of Alaska some years back. They were setting a sea buoy, normally the DPS (dynamic...

    NYC Accident

    Wouldn't have grabbed fast enough. Think DALI. Yeah for the US, maybe most western countries. I dunno how many other foreign entities you ever got to work with during your career, but the Central & South American ones are quite a bit more fast & loose, less regimented (though this may change...

    NYC Accident

    She was heading backwards. I couldn't really tell from the video I saw, but either she lost propulsion control & the lovely East river current carried her in or propulsion failed in reverse (I've seen this happen on newer variable pitch prop ships but never on anything this old) and she...

    Not so welcome anymore....

    Social media has changed society (and not for the better). There are way too many people who have gotten comfortable running their suckholes knowing there (likely) won't be consequences. I have tested this hypothesis with car forums and subsequent car meets with people from those forums...

    Mercury 2.5HP Outboard Not Moving Boat?

    Not exactly....I know they commonly get used interchangeably but there is an actual difference. These guys do a much better job explaining it (other than metallurgy) than I would: https://www.reidsupply.com/en-us/industry-news/cotter-pin-vs-split-pin

    Illegal or not???

    Not a great idea, illegal and I look forward to seeing you on YouTube lol. Dumb is not realizing there is a significant difference between an inboard and an outboard. It's already been posted how it's illegal. If you're in NW AR then I assume this is a lake and you're at the mercy of AGFC; if...

    Nah that is a straight up folded cotter pin (which isn't supposed to go there).

    Mercury 2.5HP Outboard Not Moving Boat?

    You got bamboozled. That's a redneck fix to avoid buying another prop.
