    Another GFI question

    I need to install GFI's in my bathroom and garage in order to get a CO so I can close on my house sale. My dad says there are GFI breakers available, all I need to do is replace the breakers for those two circuits with the GFI breakers in the main panel (instead of using GFI outlets) and I'll...

    I need to sell my boat slip

    In October I reserved a 2005 slip in Keyport NJ for my 23 footer, paid in full. I'm now moving to southern NJ. I need to try to find someone to take the slip. Is it OK to look here for someone, or will this infringe on the 'classifieds'? It's a nice slip, protected creek, last slip so it's...

    Little winter sttarter project

    The starter on my 200hp evinrude will sometimes, once in a while, just spin and not engage the flywheel. I want to remove the starter and do whatever maintenance I can to alleviate this. Where can I start? <br /><br />As far as what happens, it looks like the bendix is not kicking up to the...

    Winter Project Help - Building a Laptop-Based Charting GPS

    Hi all,<br /><br />Here's my big winter project, hoping to gain some advice or at least support from those that may have done it or at least something similar to it. <br /><br />I happen to have a nice 15" color TFT screen which fits perfectly on my boat dash. Only problem is that it's not...

    "Marine" speakers

    I know this was a topic already, but this is a personal experience post more than a question.<br /><br />My boat has 4 speakers, 2 in the cabin and 2 at the helm. <br /><br />The 2 at the helm are shot.<br /><br />My friend had a brand new pair of "pyramid" marine speakers lying around that he...

    Later Dudes, I'm outta here too.

    That's it, It's been nice talking to you all, but I'm leaving. <br /><br />That's right. <br /><br />I'm leaving for a week vacation white tail hunting in the North Maine Woods. :D <br /><br />Wish me luck, and try to keep the peace while I'm gone, OK? I'd hate to see the board taken down...

    Head gasket questions

    Two questions.<br /><br />1. What's the thinnest head gasket you can get? I noticed that when I changed out my head gasket on one bank I lost about 4-5 psi per cylinder. I bought a pair but only did one side so far. I just compared the old gasket to the spare new one, and noticed that the...

    Free Boat

    Went down to the public ramp yesterday with my brother in law to try to get us some stripers. Pull up with the boat and stop out of the way to unstrap, pull the fenders over, tie on the bow rope, etc, and there are 2 trucks at the ramp. First guy pulls out. Then second guy starts to pull out...

    Can I put a 250 powerhead on my 200?

    Being the worrysome person I am (thanks mom), and knowing that my engine is teetering on the edge of 100psi in a couple cylinders, I, out of morbid curiousity, started pricing powerheads here on iboats. <br /><br />I noticed that a vendor here lists the powerhead as 200-250, same price. If I...

    What if...........

    This just popped into my head:<br /><br />What if the Red Sox ended their world series losing streak with a swept series, won 8 straight post season games, were the first team ever that came back from a 3-0 post season deficit to win in 7 games, and the night they finally win a world series...

    Q about electric winch cable

    I have an electric winch with a pulley block, it's the type where you attach the very end of the cable back near the winch post and attach a hook with a pulley on it to the bow eye, doubling your leverage. Where are you supposed to attach the end of the cable to get the best pull angle on the...

    Never Know What You'll Find Out There - ARTICLE WITHIN THIS TIME!

    So I'm out fishing with my new neighbor yesterday afternoon. Fishing is slow so we're just hanging out. We notice a Goast Guard boat fly up on this guy a ways off and circle him for a while. I figure they're waiting for a tow or something (been there done that), got the binoculars on them but...

    How much will flaking bottom paint hurt top end?

    When I first got the boat here, bottom paint was pretty good, a few flakes, and top end was about 42. <br /><br />Previous owner did not bottom paint this year, maybe not last year, and did not run it much this year since he had a new boat and was selling this one. <br /><br />The more I run...

    System Check Warning light guage, light out

    I have one of those multi-function warning light guages on my dash, that has four red lights that alert to water temp, oil level, etc. When I turn on the ignition the one light for water temp never lights. These look like LED's to me. If I got the right size LED from Radio Shack is it...

    My @#&^%$@ Weekend!!!!

    A friend of mine here at work asked "how was the fishing" since he knew I was supposed to go out sunday. Here is what I wrote back:<br /><br />RE: How was the fishing?<br /><br />Don't ask. Oh, you already did.<br /><br />Well first of all I pull into the gas station there (quick check where...

    I'm aggrivated - Pictures Posted

    I pulled into a gas station with my trailer to get gas in the boat. I pull just past the pump, still at the pump though, and immediately stop and begin to back up to get the boat closer to the pump. I hear a crunch and hear the gas attendant yell WOAH. In the split second it took me to get...
