    marketplace/Craigslist pet peeves.....

    I got a boat from a friend once that lived out of state but said he would give me the title when he got back. Well he couldn’t find it and then passed away a few weeks later. Through talking with mutual friends later in life I was able to track down the 2 previous owners and low a behold one of...

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    It is very sad. My heart go out to the families. I have heard domestic calls are some of the most dangerous to respond to as they often involve people with mental illness and you just never know what’s going to happen.

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    I live on island that has separate towns and each town has its own PD and a state barracks as well. They all train as a state academy. In my eyes it all comes down to how the cheif runs his dept and the hiring of stable level headed people.

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    I’m lucky to have a great bunch cops in my town. The next town over not so much. It’s not a job for everyone that’s for sure.

    Evinrude wire colors

    You can find wire in many colors and sizes at auto parts, hardware and marine supply stores. If all else fails colored tape on the ends of wire can identify them.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Agreed it could go sideways in the blink of an eye. I my eyes everyone is entitled to their opinion without being judged by others. It’s simple to just agree to disagree and call it a day. Besides this horse was put down several post ago by the op. 😂 Best

    something new coming in electric OB

    That’s pretty kool Crosbyman. I love the 50’s and 60’s style of things. Especially the cars. They all look pretty much the same these days. This is a tough horse.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Me too! There is nothing like the sweet sound of a well tuned combustion engine. A buddy of mine has one of the big trucks with a twin turbo diesel. It’s fun to hear them whined up sometimes but it gets annoying after awhile.

    something new coming in electric OB

    I grew up in Sarasota. I can’t say I miss it. It s not the same as it was in the 70’s but I guess that applies to everywhere. It sure was nice back then though.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Here’s what they look like when they decide to catch fire. It remains unknown why it started in the first place. No one was on board at the time.

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    You might get it freed up but do your self a favor and take it apart for some maintenance and replace the cable. It only takes a single strand of the cable to fail and it will start to bind in sheathing and only get worse every time you move it. So source the part and get it out of the way...

    2000 Johnson 50 Cylinder Damage. Help!

    Just a thought but maybe it had the head gasket replaced before being sold? It looks like water was in that cylinder long enough to leave a rust stain on the bottom. I’m not sure how far you have gotten into this motor but if it were me I would take it all the down for pice of mind before...

    Can't rotate tilt lock lever on mid-90s Johnson 48 Special

    The handle and cable is likely still available. They weren’t cheap many years ago so that probably hasn’t changed. In the meantime if you can reach the end of the cable with pliers or vice grips you could pull on it to operate the cylinder.

    Rebuilding Carb kits advice needed

    Agreed on above. OEM is always best and worth every penny. A lot of after market kits are junk. Crappy gaskets miss matched needles and seat and so on. Go OEM or Sierra has always been good to me.

    Can't rotate tilt lock lever on mid-90s Johnson 48 Special

    It should engage if the motor is all the up. It could be stuck. Did you remove the handle to operate the tilt cylinder or is it missing?

    Was gonna go for shoulder holster, but I got this nice one for my 357
