My head is spinning...I think I need another scotch.
Capt J, Amazing isn't it. Many boat owners don't understand or want to understand their motors. They know that it can reach a cruise rpm and it...
The bildge pump issue wasn't consistent and was missed in the general boat survey. Really this is a big deal? To who? It's now fixed for less than...
Beau, Once again your conclusion is confusing. I ultimately installed a check valve as recommended by many in that thread. After much...
I find all boating issues interesting. Boating as well as tinkering with boats and their mechanical systems, while trying to understand how they...
