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 use steel winch cable on my boat trailer but I would like to consider this new material and would like some opinion before I make the switch.
Thank you,
Nick
The oil company said that an above-Ground Tank storing heating oil in cold weather needs a Tank Heater or Fuel Conditioner.
This is on Long Island in New York. The trend is to remove the underground Oil Tank and replace them with Above Ground Tanks for environmental concerns. Now the Service...
GFI = GFCI
GFI senses differential current = Current in the "Hot" verses Current in the Neutral.
GFI cannot sense current going through a person fron "Hot" to Neutral. It can only sense when part of the current finds an alternate way to return such as through a person (or object) to ground.

A co-worker asked about the law for transporting his lawn mower from NC to NY in a van/truck. I have no clue as to the restrictions. All vehicles have some type of fuel, what is different about gasoline powered tools?
Thanks,

I have an older B&D Palm sander that holds the paper with a spring-clip on the front and back edges. I spend more time and sandpaper trying to keep the paper in place than I do sanding. The sheet dosen't appear worn-out or clogged, it just slips out from under the retainer spring.

To help the work slide smoothly as it is pushed into the blade, I bought "Shuffle Board Wax" and sprinkled it on my saw table. The wood slides almost as easily as a puck BUT it caused the protractor in the "T" slot to bind or jam. Who would have thought? I'm guessing that shuffle board wax is...
Out before the holidays. Be safe always:
Please, take care of yourself. A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.
This means that the remaining 77% are caused by a**holes who...
Ok, I?m one of the lucky ones that Irene passed with only a power outage, and I have a 4 KW generator. I only run the generator between 7:30 AM and 9:00 PM.
The generator is noisy and I would like to quiet it down. If I adapted an automotive or motor-cycle muffler, would it help much?
Thanks,
Nick
Pollution control is everyone?s business however I believe that the Sanitation authority should have the responsibility to make disposal of common items easy in order to help people comply. It is no secret that some will instead conceal banned items in the trash as a means of disposal.

Tolls on bridge and tunnels crossing the Hudson River could rise up to 50 percent!

2 weeks ago, I went to my local auto parts store ?Square Speed? and ordered a roller rocker and a hydraulic lifter for my ?96 Merc Grand Marquee. I also wanted a 10 mm, 3/8 drive deep socket of which he didn?t have in stock, he said something to another customer and that customer asked me what...
If an ad is anoying as one of my relatives and twice as persistant, do the sponsors expect me to go out and spend all my money on their product, or are they just over-paid idiots?
1 roller rocker came out when the car was started (naturally it caused a major miss). I put it back and the car ran fine for a couple of weeks. The car was not run for several days and when it was next started the roller rocker again popped out. I'm looking for the root cause of this problem...
In a few months (and they go by quickly) my wife and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I am not the creative type and would like some help/choices for a short poem to express my sentiments. Possibly something that I could have engraved on some kind of jewelry. For instance, it...
135K miles, good body condition, 4 new tires (< 1,000 miles).
Started idling rough about 1 week ago and has a slapping/clanging noise in the front of the engine. The dealer said that the Timing Chain Tensioner needs replacement but at 135K miles they don?t recommend replacement and suggested...
Tough end to a season. My son Seb along with my other son Joe and his long-time friend Rob went fishing (11-19-2010) Friday night in the ocean off Democrat Point, Long Island. I was invited but due to my work schedule, I declined. My pre-teen Grandson, Matthew (Joe?s younger son) was scheduled...
I have a '98 Mountaineer with about 135K miles that I still bring to the dealer for service. The front tires are near end of life and the dealer pointed that out and said that it also needs a wheel alignment. I got normal life out of these tires and the tread wear is uniform, why would an...
REPLACEMENT WINDOWS
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.
He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn?t paid for them...
