    Help - Odd Electrical Issue

    What "ground" are you using to read the voltage at the distribution block? If the block reads voltage, follow to the radio for that power using the same ground you used at the block. It that reads there, you either have a broken ground connection to the radio, or there is a missing connection to...

    JACK PLATE?

    I am presently making a Jack Plate to raise my '76 40HP Johnson. And I have the angle aluminum to make it already drilled and slotted. If you decide to go that route, you will probably have to install the Jack Plate up side down to get that much lowering ability. Don't know without pictures...

    I'm getting unknown sender emails that I can't block

    Have no idea what your present email setup is, but I have a button at the top of mine and you can mark emails as spam and they never show again... Just an idea, but I'm sure if you had that option you wouldn't be asking...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Thought I would post a little side project that I got finished now. No not a boat, but in a way helps with boat, or most any other project, using the domino effect. I seriously need a new air compressor since my little portable small one is begging me to buy something new daily. It has held up...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I do remember the days when I lived in the northern state of Pennsylvania and the snowy days where everything was so silent, but beautiful as well. Amazing how the snow deadens the noise. But equally glad I don't have to put up with it for weeks, some times months, on end... White snow turns...

    Ruger single six

    I have an Old Model three screw 357 Ruger revolver that I did send in for free conversion. And yes they do send back all the original parts as well. So it keeps the value and is made safer to carry as well. FYI

    Ruger single six

    Speaking about pistols, and guns in general, I have to post about a Christmas gift I received this year from my younger adult son. I got a Tradition's .69 caliber Old Iron Side Cannon kit. And it is actually a real shooting cannon kit that I have to finish the wood parts and assembly. And it is...

    Ruger single six

    I just did a quick cursory research and to my surprise there are lots and lots of custom spring companies out there. And a lot of them state there is no minimum number either. So I think you could find one or have one made. Numrich Arms is a gun parts dealer. Have a look there as well.

    Ruger single six

    A lot of older quality pistols and revolvers are going for more than they sold for new. The condition sets the price, but even fair condition guns goes for more than bought new. The Ruger Standard (22 automatic) is certainly sought after. Ruger made some of the most wanted 22 pistols, revolvers...

    master bath remodel

    I come to the final conclusion that you are never ever finished DIYing if you own a house. We presently have four houses to take care of and two of them are in serious need of updating just to get them on the market to sell. And we just this week had porcelain hand hewn wood looking tile...

    1972 Ranger Bass Boat

    If those pictures are before and after, it looks like it cleaned up very nice. How about any wood in the hull? Any of it rotted?

    Go Kart paint type

    If you are serious about wanting it to look good for a while, forego the rattle can paint(s) and buy some quality paint. Any two part paint (paint and hardener/catalyst) will absolutely last longer than rattle can. And this is just me, but I would absolutely use a primer before painting. That...

    Lost our best fishing buddy

    Absolutely sorry to hear this. In some way they seem to be just as much part of the family as everyone else. And it is extremely saddening when you have to part with them by any means. I know I cried like baby with our first dog had to be put down. Yes, men do cry...
