    Differet way to fog your engine (?)

    I talked to a guy today who has an interesting way of fogging his motor. He has a portable gas tank with about a gallon of stablized gas in it. He adds about a 1/4 can of fogger oil to it, hooks the tank up to his gas line to his motor and runs the motor for about five minutes so it's smoking...

    Winterizing a '95 Merc XRi 150

    I'm pretty handy, but I'm not really familiar with engines that much. I plan to winterize my Merc soon, and I think I have most things covered, but I'm not sure where the carbs are to spray the fogging oil into? What am I looking for? If anyone has pics or a description of what I'm looking for...

    Bearing Buddy maintenance

    I just picked up my boat from winter storage last night. I'd like to tune up my bearing buddies to make sure they're doing what they are supposed to be doing. I'm not that familiar with them though and I've only had this boat and trailer for a year. I took off the black rubber bearing buddy bra...

    Bleeder valve leak (?)

    I noticed that gas is leaking out of my bleeder valve that's on the side of my boat. This happens when I'm trailering and I noticed it because of a large gas stain on my canvas boat cover. This wasn't a problem when I first got the boat a couple of years ago, that I know of. Any suggestions on...

    Wal-Mart (for or against?)

    I recently watched an episode of 20/20. They did a piece on greed and focussed on Wal-Mart's place in this topic. Surprisingly, the report was unbiased, if not leaning towards Wal-Mart being a good thing for Americans. They explained that the people who shop at Wal-mart are able to save a lot of...

    Stain on canvas boat cover

    I have a yellowish color, canvas boat cover. The cover has about an 8" circular stain from gas leaking out of the bleeder valve from the gas tank. I tried using dish soap and water to get the stain out, but it didn't help much. Any suggestions on what cleaner would work best for this?

    For the past several days, it's been unseasonbly warm here - mid 80's and muggy.

    WOT question

    I usually run my boat consistently at WOT while going across the lake. My set-up is correct in that I do not exceed my max recommended RPMs of 5500 at WOT. I'm just curious to know if it's okay to generally run my motor at WOT when on plane or if doing that puts too much stress on the motor in...

    Tax deduction question

    I do freelance graphic design work in my spare time. This year, I bought a new computer, printer and digital camera this year. All were purchased off of Ebay. I am wondering if I can still claim those purchases as deductions, even though they were purchased off Ebay. If I can, how do I go about...
