    That's about 5C. which to me is way too Early. Cadillac doesn't, or didn't provide a way to adjust the Temp, only on or off. Even when it was -30c a couple of Months ago, I was turning the Wheel and Seat Heaters off in less than 3 minutes

    Have had Heated Seats for 30 yrs, and actually HATE them. They and the Heated Steering Wheel come on when it 10C, that is Way Too Early. At -20C maybe, but not 10C. BTW, the Temp where they come on is Not Adjustable The Ventilated Seats are a Different Matter. Those are Nice to have, especially...

    Prop Walk, need a possible solution.

    Kicker Motor

    Nothing like having to carry a Portable Tank along if it is a 2 stroke. Maybe with a 4 Stroke Kicker, you could tap into the Boats Fuel line

    Would Evinrude fit on Johnson 150 base?

    Comparing the Part Lists, the Exhaust Megaphone(Tuner) is different between the 79 200, and the 84 150. Unless the Megaphone is swapped too, Power and Fuel Economy could be affected

    I would Not reuse that Head. However, it is your Motor and your Money, so you can do whatever you want.

    1990 Force outboard 230ho removed upper bearing by cutting and left a crease need advice

    In my Opinion, that Crank is strictly a Paperweight now. Having it welded, machined, and treated, will cost more than a new replacement
