    Priming boat for first trip in 3 years+

    A buddy of mine inherited a nice 1995 Boston Whaler with a 1995 90HP Evinrude on it. The thing is my buddy isn't really into boating, but I can't let that boat sit there without getting wet. He has updated the tags and boat stickers on it. He has cranked the motor about once a month these...

    2002 Chevy Silverado Horn Broke

    Last night somebody pulled out in front of me (almost causing me to smack into their drivers-side door) and I layed on the horn as a warning. On the way home, I went to tap my horn at a neighbor to say "hi" and it didn't work. I can't get it to work now no matter what I do. What could have...

    Frayed wire in ignition system (pictures).

    Engine is 1983 Johnson 50HP. My engine would not crank while at the dock after a long day of fishing. Thankfully this was discovered just a few yards from the landing and I paddled my boat to my trailer. Upon examining my engine, I found a frayed/corroded wire. Many of the wires in the area...

    Name Brand descriptions.

    Lady Fish's recent post about "old time words" made me think of something. It is funny how certain name brands take over for the description of the product/action.<br /><br />Not everyone will agree with these for various reasons. Some people of different countries use different words to...

    Squash question.

    Any vegetable growers on here?<br /><br />We are trying our hand at vegetable gardening and planted some squash (amongst other things).<br /><br />We picked some squash today.<br /><br />If you can tell, did we pick them too early or too late?

    60,000 mile service

    My 2002 Chevy Silverado is making a grinding noise near the front tires. I'm thinking it is the tye-rods (msp?). The boot over the grease fitting is leaking I'm pretty certain. <br /><br />Anyway, here is my real issue:<br /><br />I took my truck to the dealer this morning and they noticed...
