The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I trail a relatively short distance (less than 10 miles) and often one of my Hub-Caps, always on the same wheel, comes off somewhere on the road. This is a tandem trailer and I have not been able to figure what the source of the problem is. I have replaced all 8 wheel bearings but it still...
I live work and play on Long Island, NY. It has struck me in the past that Snow Removal on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) is amazing in that there appears to be very little snow remaining on the right shoulder and almost none on the left divider/shoulder. This was a substantial snow storm...
I have a 2011 GMC Acadia Denali that I purchased new and have regretted it ever since because of the stupid way it down-shifts. (Other than for the down-shifting I am reasonably, but notcompletely satisfied with the vehicle.) From a stop or low speed the acceleration is as good as I need or care...
This is when I feel like Charlie Brown being set-up by Lucy holding the football for a kick.
I got cruise confirmation via email and saved it to my desktop. When I open the folder there is a mess of files with each file containing a segment of something that appears useless (things like a logo...
How many different types are there and is there one type that may be used for both Hot & Cold water?
What is your opinion on plastic vs copper pipe?
Thank you,

I stole this idea from my good neighbor Kevin. In the winter, Kevin keeps an ice scraper/snow removal brush handy on his driveway and invited me to use it whenever I need it. Seeing that it's such a good idea I have attached one to my fence (using a bungee) on my driveway. With access available...

But you knew that. Enjoy.
My 3-1/2 and 4 year old Grandkids on occasion come fishing with me (with their parents) and I bought them their own fishing pole. When my kids were their age I tethered the poles to the boat for obvious reasons. I have a 20 foot boat and I just added 4 stainless steel bead chains 4 foot long...
I’m having cataract surgery on my left eye in September and on my right eye in October. The standard implant is a lens for distance or there is an option for a progressive lens ($2500.00 per eye not covered by insurance). With the standard lens, reading glasses would be used for up close vision...
How do you replace the Day Light Running light? (My left bulb is not working.) You Tube has a 4 part video series that shows removing the front wheel and fender liner to gain access to the lamps. I just can't believe that all that is required.
I have a 3-year old car with Lo-Jack and I just received a 2nd notice that I have yet to have the Lo-Jack system inspected ($100.00) and that it should be inspected every 2 years. The notice stated that it is "designed to withstand climate extremes and daily wear and tear".
I have worked in...
Over the period of about 1 year, I have had 3 pin hole water leaks in my cold water line. The hole's are so small that you have to look carefully to see the fine spray of water. These leaks appear to have been located at random points in the copper tubing lines (not at or near the "sweat"...
Thread Forming Taps thread material by moving material rather than by cutting. I have never seen these taps in operation and would like to know the limitations and procedures required. Would you relate your experience with these taps?
Thanks,

Is there any way diesel fuel can be substituted for gasoline in a small engine (10 HP)?
(Diesel fuel is used to make heat & hot water for my house therefore I have a substantial supply on hand. During power outages, gasoline may not be readily available to run a generator. It would be a God-send...
I have not been boating since super-storm Sandy and wonder how many boaters are having issues due to this storm.
My typical boating is in the bays and inlets on the south shore of LI in the area of Jones Beach and Captree.
It would be interesting to hear from other areas as well.
Be Safe and enjoy.
This engine runs well but the lowest spark plug on each bank always gets very rusty. All boating is done in salt water. The engine itself is very clean especially considering the age of the engine. Is this Normal? Does splash get into the housing from rough conditions? The other 4 plugs look...
