    Lake Allatoona tragedy

    Man drowns as wife and kids watch. Just sad this was totally avoidable. He should have been wearing a PFD and his family should have been educated to throw him a PFD when they saw him in trouble. The worst part has to be the kids watching their dad die. From the AJC...

    Installing a tunedportinjection setup

    What would be the obstacles of this? I've found complete setups for under 500. I'm just a little tired of the carb(finicky). Drivability is so much better with EFI. It's going on an 85 305 OMC TIA

    Hard to turn right

    I've searched and found little to nothing. When moving on water it's hard to rurn right and easy to turn left. Is this normal? I have the "fin tab" turned all the way left I tried centering it and it was worse. This is an 85 Bliner with an OMC drive and a 5.0 GM. It does not have power...
