    bravo1 outdrive trim tab

    It is a sacrificial anode and also counteracts the torque steer of the prop....which is why its is adjustable ...for different props and installations on different boats . Sacrificial anodes dont work if you insulate ( paint ) them

    Inspiration.

    Yeah , I have found myself thinking several times " I hope Im doing as well as that guy when I get to his age" and with that in mind I have been eating less and doing more physical stuff. My goal this winter is to be able to walk 1km on my tin leg without needing crutches .....I can get 400m...

    18ft Boat Launch with RWD Suburban

    Cant you adjust the brake light switch so it needs a bit more pedal travel to trip the switch . There are in line pressure switches too ...if you want to go that way ....possibly ( depending on local regulations ) with an adjustable cracking pressure.

    Yeah I usually eat the skin 1st and then put the salt on . I usually lightly bread the chicken ....unless its marinated....with stuff called "coat n cook" so the skin doesnt need salt. And tphoyt , not a big fan on spud salad but Di does her version of baked potato. She microwaves a big spud...

    Nobody fishing?

    Aw man ,thats a shame ....its all about technique . To be fair the fresh water fish we have here are not great eating , apart from Flounders but they mostly hang out in estuaries so they can go either way. I smoke the odd trout but mostly I either give them away or put them back. 😁

    I got a Yamaha electric starter on eBay (new) but it doesn't show how to connect the electrical cables

    Yeah , you gotta be smart about it coz some of it is crap but if you are ....say going to cut and weld a spanner for one awkward access job then why chop up a snap on when the chinese one will do the job .....or bashing one size down socket over a munted bolt head .

    1996 polaris sl 780 to much oil?

    Two strokes run at their best when they are bordering on a lean mixture ....it only takes a change in ambient temperature or pressure then they can seize or get hot enough to pre-ignite , I just think that a high octane fuel gives you a little more protection if your pushing it a bit hard. For a...

    1996 polaris sl 780 to much oil?

    I doubt it ,probly have to replace main jets . Get yourself a workshop manual and get into a jet ski web site . I would also be using high octane gas ....at least untill your happy that fueling is ok

    1996 polaris sl 780 to much oil?

    I would say a tad lean but its hard to tell from pix . They need to be a light tan (peanut butter ) colour and you need to look right up inside where the insulator contacts the metal body of the plug. . Does it still have the standard air box/filter ? After market performance filter assemblies...
