    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    Lack of use may cause the cable to get stiff also. Think like if you don't use year car much the brakes can get rusty rotors or such. If you use things a lot they don't have issues with corrosion as much.

    Guard rail gone slack, sailing cruiser.

    If the stanchions are loose where they attach to the deck, there is the issue. If every is solid down there the rails have stretched over time and they will have to be re-swaged or replaced. pictures would help.

    Looking for idea's to hide window screws

    Yeah, C/F* I don't do metric much. lol. Agreed boat hulls are harder to heat as the water and hull itself are robust and non-insulated.

    Looking for idea's to hide window screws

    Do one at a time. Fix the core as stated, make sure everything is solid between the hull and inner wall. The sicaflex is a good sealer, I use butal tape on my even, it works perfectly to seal up the vents and windows. Don’t ever run a bead of silicon around the edges of anything. Silicone does...

    Looking for idea's to hide window screws

    Apparently the windows are leaking or something for the wood to rot inside. Perhaps you could remove the window and re-seal it, use stainless bolts and crown nuts on the inside.

    Oil dipstick question for 4.5 owners, which way around?

    I get that on some, What I do is pull the stick up a couple inches and let it sit for awhile. Then check the level. The oil in the tube can settle where it needs to be, not on the side of the tube.

    Anti-freeze Question . . . Change of Color ???

    I usually install a hose directly to the pump itself. I understand how you can’t get to it. Usually when the tank is just drained there is a few gallons left behind. After winterizing I hook the pump back up and leave all faucets open.

    Anti-freeze Question . . . Change of Color ???

    Drain everything, bypass kit on the water heater, disconnect the line from the storage tank and hook up your anti freeze. Run till it comes out of each faucet. Never had an issue or color change. Usually only a couple gallons is all that's needed. Unless you have a larger system.

    FUEL PUMP

    Well, learn something new every day. Never saw that one myself.

    FUEL PUMP

    Nope. The fuel goes to the bilge if the diaphragm leaks. You want a marine pump with the safety hose that runs to the carb. I'm sure some of the leak will get in the oil but not all of it.

    Difference between group 31 and 29 deep cycle batteries

    I'm just thinking outside the box here. You could have went to the homeware dept and borrowed a scale, weighed both batteries and see if there is a difference. I've done similar things when at the store comparing items, Forgot to bring a tape measure? they have them in the tool section.
