    Which States/Provinces Enforce Registration Numbers Requirements

    I believe this is key part of my printing business is vinal graphics and have done many DOT and Michigan watercraft reg numbers. The customers nearly always complain about 3in. I warn them about the law and do what they request, usually 2.5 or 2.75 Agree, it can be a pretext to board. But on...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    I believe you're correct, wood is cheaper core material. Don't know if it's true, but, I think I heard after 1995 most are solid glass

    daily music fix

    Truly love the 60's and 70's psychedelic rock. Couldn't get enough of Stevie Ray Vaughn for more bluesy sound. Boycotted the radio through the 80's and 90s. Just heard a great country tune. It's about boats too. Chris Janson "Buy me a boat"

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    Creativity 🤔 Reminds me of way back when we dug a hole in the ground, pushed the car over it, drop the trans into it and push the car back away. A nice tree limb has been perfect for lifting motors out of taller boats. I'll never cut that tree down!

    Spare Stern Drive

    Didn't see the attachments before. Agree with froggy Could be a shim or bearing cause. Kind of looks like the wear started where it should then moved to the toe.

    Spare Stern Drive

    Oops, I forgot you have a Cobra. Was thinking it was an 800. (Edit 400) Maybe someone else can help with the upper. I know a little about old mercruiser and older OMC , but this is a different beast.

    Spare Stern Drive

    My little experience is with electric shift. It's hard to tell the size of that broken piece, but it sure looks like the pin that goes through the middle of the shifter dog. Take the retainer spring off and inspect the one that's there.

    Lucky it didn't get chewed in the gears! Could it be from the shift mechanism that moves the dog between the gears? Part #313448 Could explain coming out of gear. Gears look great, how are the bearings?

    1972 Grew SS245

    Sierra made it until recently, not sure of the formulation, they say it's for OMC. Google and eBay will find it. I think Kenny's right. A trans fluid for newer electric assist transmission should work. Good news, that intermediate sealing boot looks new

    Hardtop repair

    Thanks for the reply, I was joking about the flex seal. What type of glass should I use? It's not structural, so CSM ? How thick ?

    1972 Grew SS245

    Okay, maybe 300. They're not double humps but a 71 225 hp SBC shouldn't be hard to get a few dollars from.

    How can I repair these cracks? My lazy self wants to sand and apply flex seal.

    1972 Grew SS245

    Don't know if that cover is "lipstick on a pig " but don't give up on it yet. Check the stringers! Try to remove the lag bolts holding the mounts to stringers. If they just spin, you have rot. Personally I love boats like that. That electric shift will have people talking at the ramp. Just...

    By the way, those aren't trailcam. Love the challenge of getting close, and my friends laugh at my military surplus camo.
