    Edmund Fitzgerald… interesting video

    When I was a young lad my dream was to sail on lakes' boats but like most childhood ambitions it never happened though later on I did end up in Uncle Sam's haze gray fleet. Seventy years later I will still sit at my computer late at night and follow them on Vessel Watch but traffic is very...

    Serial number means ...?

    Serial # comes back to a Canadian 1975 model if I read my cheat sheet I have tucked in an old factory manual right.

    New here

    Welcome aboard. Some of us on here still call it the New Raystown Dam since we also boated on the Old Raystown before 1972. Boated on the New Dam the first year it opened for power boats. A real challenge at night before there were any day markers on the points in the pre GPS days. Would...

    Winch post on boat trailer

    I noticed that too from the pictures. Use a level on the trailer frame and on the gunnels. You may need a straight edge across the gunnels to do that. If the starboard side was lifted a little the bow eye would align.

    Darn Mice Can Be Expensive

    Wait until you have a four and a half foot black snake come down through an overhead heater duct and brush against your ear while you are moving in a skidsteer. The good side of it was I am not one who has a snake phobia plus the mice were gone. This Winter no snake but when I turned my...

    Computer Illiterate?

    My wife got a Chromebook last year with the new touchpad and touch screen and I also found it much easier to just plug in the mouse. I am some what a Luddite as my cell is just a flip phone so I haven't mastered the one, tow three finger techniques. There are some good third party software...

    Wasn’t sure where to post.

    I have a 12' Myers aluminum that I ran a 5 hp Merc on for a couple of years. It flew right along with it and I think you will be more than happy with the smaller motor.

    What's Old Becomes 'New' . . .

    I am a firm believer in not getting rid of any thing that might be useful someday. (my wife defines it as being a hoarder) I recently found several 17 year old Dell laptops at a garage sale for 15 bucks each, talked him down to two for twenty. Wiped the hard drives an installed Linux and...

    Or this; This is what all my Amish neighbors use. Since I am the last house on the power line on our lane and half the other houses don't have electric I bought one for myself. They are on casters so you can move them from room to room. Haven't used it much and still have the original...

    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    I don't think fuel restriction is connected to the SLOW, just the buzzer. The buzzer would sound a steady buzz when my fuel line got pinched once or twice when I tilted the motor from up to down.

    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    Check for spark on each bank with a clamp on timing light while it is cutting out. A two man job. A fuel restriction well also cause the buzzer to go off. Had a friend with a similar problem of going into slow now and then but it rarely happened. He asked me to look at it later because of...
