    WARNING !! WARNING !! About brand new sparkplugs I bought.

    Always check the gap. Those or any plugs can fit several different engines. How does the factory know what you are putting them in?

    Tackle storage under seat

    If you have the piece, you can repair it. I’ve used this stuff in the past. I know it was not that much money but I don’t remember where I bought it. Sandable/paintable. Follow the instructions and you will have a solid repair. https://www.docksuppliers.com/plastic-boat-repair-kit.aspx

    Sealant Around Center Console

    If the dealer does fix it, make sure they don't just lay another bead of caulk around the edges. The proper fix is to unbolt the unit, raise it up a couple inches and put the sealant under the flange. When they drop it back down clean up the excess squeeze out.

    Water in the fuel

    Had a friend who had a fleet of gas powered trucks. He had his own fuel storage tank. After the tank was filled, he would fuel up first and get water in the tank. The others behind him were fine. Yup when the tank was filled it would stir up the water and he would get it. I suggested he clean...

    Is the fender scratched up? Almost looks like it rubbed off the fender. But it should buff out.

    Re-re installing alpha one, what can I re-use?

    I install them dry, the grease from the O-ring can be mostly wiped off. Some say to use the bellows adhesive to glue the ring in. I don't as later cleanup is not as fun for me. Yeah, over torquing will squish the gasket out. My elbow works fine as I've done tons of them over the years. While you...

    Anybody have "old" pontoons?

    I picked up a 1977 leisurecraft for $800 only because the motor was worth it. It was yellow and the floor was shot as well as no seating. Re-did the entire thing and its like new. Sure, the logs got a few dents but it floats fine. Cost was around $2000 after all the supplies. If I did it again...

    Random

    Had that happen to my cousin. The cat ended up with a rapala lure emended in her paws, took about 1/2 hour to clip the hooks and get them out. Had to wrap her in a towel to do the job. She went under the cabin and didn't come out for three days. We could see her and left food and water for her...
