    Alpha 1 Gen II and skinny water?

    How far up is it safe to operate the out drive? I have never operated (under power) past the full out trim position. But I'd like to know what I can do in case of shallow water. Common sense says keep the water pick up submerged, and RPM at no more than an idle due to the angle of the u-joints...

    SS MAYFLOAT...Eddie Hill and Drag Boat Racing??

    SS where did you hear about The Texan?? Back in the day I was associated with an ADBA crew. At the time we ran a Blown Gas Hydro under the name Sundown. Eddie ran Top Fuel Hydro for a number of years while I was there. He jumped to cars (Top Fuel Rails) a few years before I got out of Drag Boating.

    Electricians?

    Getting ready to run power to the dock. It's a 200 foot run from the box. I want to run a 20 amp service, with either a GFCI breaker or GFCI outlet. I'm leaning towards the outlet, so I won't have to walk up to the house every time it trips. Any thoughts? I also need to know what gage wire...

    It should go something like this..

    First off I think allowing those here illegally to stay its bullsheet. Not to mention a slap in the face to everyone who had gone the US immigration and citizenship route legally. And don't give me that we need the cheep labor crap-ola, if your business needs cheep labor you sponsor the...

    00 350 MAG MPI SN 0L671793, seems to run hot 180 to 190 deg.(according to the gage). I plan on checking the engine temp with a IR thermometer to verify gage accuracy. I assume I want to check the temp on the thermostat housing next to the temp sending unit to get the most accurate comparison...

    Thunderbolt V BTM and carb adjustment?

    In reading another thread, it sounds like in order to correctly adjust the Carb air/fuel mixture on a TBV equipped engine it must be in BTM. Is this correct? Engine SN 0F7878780 is the engine in question.

    Wally World on wellfair day.......

    Man there's got to be a better way. Seeing the kind of food some of the food stamp spenders choose to spend the resources on blows my mind. On one end they buy the sugar waters, candy coated cereals and empty calorie snack crap. The other extrema is top shelf, brand name cuts of beef, pork and...
