    2001 25hp Nissan NS25C3 - Trouble Starting

    I have pretty much have that same motor. One of the best running ones I have ever owned. The only thing is that carb must be squeaky clean as the passages are small. You should be able to download the basic repair manual from Tohatsu's website to show what all passages the carb has. Magic in...

    Front wheel bearings and hubs

    You're right. I missed the part that yours is 2wd. A simple bolt in place job on your model to replace the hub. Yours should look like this.

    Front wheel bearings and hubs

    I just replaced one on my 2002 Sierra 2500 a couple of months ago at around 175,000 with a MOOG which was only a few bucks more than some. They recommend to also replace the spindle nut and the hub dust cover at the same time. Don't use an impact wrench to tighten the spindle nut and don't...

    Wire size for livewell please

    Why not buy a whole cable longer than what is needed, snip one end off, then measure and feed it through. They make a special tool to rebend one end but with a little practice you could do it with a couple of needle nose...

    Mercury 850 thunderbolt ignition switch wiring

    Don't know if this helps. Your SN indicates distributer ignition. You are still going to have wire through your control box for the neutral safety start switch.

    Which States/Provinces Enforce Registration Numbers Requirements

    It is the law in all 50 states and 6 territories. The priority of enforcement is probably unknown. I can say that if you would search citation records it would not help as a violation of numbering is often used as a probable cause to conduct a boarding that may result in more serious...

    Which States/Provinces Enforce Registration Numbers Requirements

    Not to long after 9/11 I remember seeing a letter from the USCG to all state boating law administrators to concentrate on enforcing numbering violations. This was when they were upping surveillance of dams, bridges, locks, Naval installations, and other infrastructures that could be subject to...

    Which States/Provinces Enforce Registration Numbers Requirements

    Without going to deep into weeds simply said for a state to have primacy in enforcing their own boat laws they must be as strict or stricter than USCG regs. 3" solid contrasting color block letters are USCG regs and thus the same in all states.

    Edmund Fitzgerald… interesting video

    A few weeks ago I decided I need a new ringtone for my phone. I started searching the internet and using my music editing software made one of nothing but Masters' Salutes of all different boats plus I also stuck in one of the drawbridge at Duluth answering with there horn. My wife hasn't...
