    Glass/wood repair

    I found a site this morning that has some good advice on replacing rotted or rotting wood in stringers and transoms.. It's called rotdoctor. They have a product that claims to repair and stop rotting. Seems interesting to me.

    Stringer Prop and gear ratio

    I have a 1976 stringer outdrive with a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. When i bought it, there was a 14x15 prop on it. I took it out the other day and with the waves, it did damage the prop on the trailer as well as damage the cavitation plate. I figure that i can bolt aluminum plate on top of the...

    Permatex #2

    I used this to assemble the impeller housings on a stringer. Since this is what the repair book said to use, I did. Anyone have an idea how to seperate the two pieces? They just don't pull apart and am hesitant to use more force. [vise,etc]

    points vs electronic

    I remember a post about this a long time ago. Since I've had time to work on the boat. I've discovered that it does not have points but an electronic sensor where the points should be. It looks rather strange but does work well. I found this out because I replaced plug wires and it...

    It's been a while

    Since I've posted. I was discharged from the company I was working with last year. I took my time and found one that knows and understand that the federal regulations are there for a reason. They follow them and I have no concerns about being forced to work outside of those. So, it was...

    How big of waves

    Can a 34' cabin cruiser safely handle? I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150402524582&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I think it'd be fun to buy it, make sure it's safe, then drive it from TX to Fl across the Gulf. :D I'm not to sure about the potential...

    Florida boating

    I was looking at the FWP site and like how they made it simple to navigate [sorry, these seem to happen today] and how they listed where and how to get to the state boat ramps. My question is, does FL require a "safe boating course/ card"?

    NASCAR Martinsville

    I've seen this track in person. It's not as big as it looks on tv.:p I've a lot of respect for those who can drive a 850 plus hp car on a track this small. :)

    Boaters atlas

    I was looking at my large print "truckers" atlas and it made me wonder. Wonder why someone doesn't make a boaters atlas. A map for all the states with detailed info on the lakes/rivers. [depth, fishing, camping, boat ramps etc]

    OMC Stringers

    I found this site while searching for propellers. It has info and tips on the stringer outdrives and much on the Evinrude/Johnson boats. Hope someone else can use this info or at least find it interesting.:) I especially liked the brochure about the "Caddilac Sea Lark" :D...
