I haven't seen one in person yet, but from the pics it just looks like a slightly big trim tab mounted sideways. Seems like that'd be a pretty easy thing to try, if you really wanted to.

Great, thanks!

that answers a question i've wondered about for a while. Assuming no unusual blockages, you won't fill the cylinders with water if you pump water through the engine while it isn't running? I've...

I found this particular writeup on a chevelle forum:



I think I can get the CJ Delo 15-40 at work, so maybe I'll try that...

Ok, so I tried to search, but "oil" is too short a search term, so hopefully this hasn't been discussed to death already.

Anyway, I know I'm supposed to use a "high zinc content" oil to protect...

This thread has been a good read. I'm thinking that especially now that I live in texas, I can probably get away with draining the block in the "winter" months, and not bother with antifreeze. That...

I wussed out and winterized last weekend. All it costs me to put it back in running shape is 20 minutes or so, so if it gets warm and I want to use it I still can. If I kept the boat at my house...

I believe what I do is overkill, but generally I pull the 5 plugs and let the motor drain. Then I put the plugs back in and suck up straight marine/RV antifreeze until that starts coming out the...

sounds like a good plan.

Ok, so the half-moon shaped wood bits on my trailer that keep the boat off of the wheel wells are rotted to splinters. I cut some plywood pieces to match, and I can just staple new bunk cloth over...

took these last week, so that's still november...

I moved from Boston to Austin, and I have no idea when I need to call it quits and winterize. I was out on lake austin today and it was like 80, so the innate timing built up over decades in the...

at the moment mine lives outdoors at a storage company, for $70 a month :|

I can store it at my fiancee's grandfather's place, outdoors, for free, but it's about 2 hours away, so I only want to do...

ngavdba, that is just nuts. Your lift is pretty much exactly the same as the 1960s vintage lift we rebuilt in my dad's boathouse, but you know, his is in a boathouse not the garage! Nice work, very...

I like kneeboarding to begin with, but it is awesome for guests. Getting up on it is much easier and lower impact (for newbies) than wakeboarding or skiing. With a wakeboard you either do the start...

not that this is all that helpful, but when we were kids we tried some trainer skis, and stuff like that, and had a hell of a time with it. Eventually we just put on a couple pairs of socks and...

I look at it like this: 700-800 hours is like 100,000 miles on a car. I car at 100k miles that hasn't been taken care of could easily be a complete hunk of shit and ready for the scrap yard. But a...

Well, I made it! Greased up the bearing buddies every morning, and had no problems at all. Reg and title was a breeze, it's great that you deal with fish and wildlife, and not the RMV... Now I just...

huh, I didn't expect it to be complicated. I'll have a look this weekend and inspect/repack at the same time). I leave next weekend, so hopefully I have time to get what I need. I SHOULD be fine...

I am towing from boston MA to austin TX and want to pick up a spare set, in case things go south on me.

Moving to austin, really looking forward to it. It LOOKS like it should be pretty straightforward, as long as I have the old reg and bill of sale (which I do), and can make a pencil tracing of the...

So, my 1986 comp is registered in NH, where it doesn't need and doesn't have a title. In texas, all motor boats need to have a title. What do I do? Can I apply for a new title in texas? Do I need...

I bought it, but don't need it, waited too long to return it. no gaskets included (I used them). $100+shipping.

pardon my ignorance, but when the boat isn't moving, how does an FAE help? Does just bubbling the exhaust through the water absorb a significant amount of CO? Glad the kids are ok. I grew up on...

seems like a decent deal IF the stringers are in good shape.
