    AC Fan switch 2003 Ford Expedition (Update, Thanks)

    This is a 4 position switch, no off, just 1 - 4 relevant to fan speed. We just lost 1 and 2 which are of course our most commonly used positions, 3 and 4 still go fine. Wife is biotchin' up a storm, but I see a big dealer cost . . . I am guessing this is truly a 4 position switch that...

    General Electrical troubleshooting ?s

    I am having an issue with my boat's electrical system and need some diagnostic direction. I am kind of an electrical idiot, but I can use a multi-meter.<br /><br />I initially noticed that the running lights are drawing excessive voltage. When I have them on, voltage drops well below 12 volts...

    iboats commercial side comment/question

    I have noticed something on both the used boats and marine store portions of the iboats' site that is confusing/frustrating to me. Whenever I click any link on those sites there is a delay between my clicking and the computer generated "sound" of the click coming out of my speakers. This delay...

    Avatar change time?

    After seeing Frogger's new avatar, I am thinking it is time to change mine as well. BTW, I'm pretty sure there are better ways to catch fish than with a pair of vice-grips. Great job though :D <br /><br />Here are the choices for a new one for me:<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />

    Outboard Installation - Bare hull

    I am looking at a bare theft recovery hull as a possible project. I have always wanted and OB, but to this point have only owned I/Os. My question is regarding the match of controls and gauges. This boat will require something in the 200 bhp category. If I do this I will probably buy used...

    Boating while blind

    Over this last weekend I had to shuttle some people to/from an Island and the shore on Lake Havasu at night. I have boated often at night, but don't recall ever having a darker sky. No moon at the time I was motoring. Two nights in a row. Towards shore I had city lights as a reference, but...

    All you need are these little pills

    Last night I went to a multi-level marketing pitch as a favor for a friend. He knows that I am in the engine and fuel biz and thought I could help him. He got these pills, that he has been putting in his gas tank, and he swears have improved his mileage from 18.5 to over 22. I researched...

    Merc 4000 Control

    Does this thing have a tension adjustment like the 3000 Classics? This shifter has been a little stiff since I got the boat two years ago, has not become any tighter, just stiff. Shifts fine, but sometimes I get a slight rev as I have pushed the control further than I intended to get past the...

    Midland Handheld VHF- Carp?

    What's the story on these? I am seeing them for around $50. Seems like you could afford to stash one for an emergency and use as a back-up. Maybe they're OK for a primary unit for all I know. . . .<br /><br />

    Annual Bravo Maintenance

    I have a 2001 6.2 and Bravo 1. I have the standard Op and Maint. manual from Merc. As I read the manual there is no recommendation to remove a Bravo drive. Ever . . . I can reach all of the zerks and of course I am planning to change the lube. The same manual applies to the Alpha and...

    Zap ruling needed

    Up to today I have considered myself unzapped . . .<br /><br />I was close once, but I was reassured by Alden that one had not been officially zapped if one had simply "posted" in a thread that had been entirely zapped, so I elected to retain my zappless claim based on Alden's understanding of...

    My longest post ever

    I posted the topic linked below over in the Merc/Volvo section. In case mkast doesn't show up, I thought I should at least get a critique from some of you guys . . . Definitely a lengthy read.<br /><br /> bhp and torque

    Death rates, funding, Hollywood etc.

    This may seem cold considering the Reeve's tragedies, but something has been bugging me for a few years. It seems that whenever anyone in Hollywood gets sick there is a whole bunch of new emphasis placed on that particular disease/affliction. Examples are Christopher Reeves with Quadriplegia...
