    Switching 8" to 12" Tires - Will they fit??

    Re: Switching 8" to 12" Tires - Will they fit?? I made that change on Sunshine III's trailer, catfighter. It worked out very well. . .but. . . My replacement rims had the same 5 bolt pattern as the 8" rims.

    Scam-o-grams, and a new twist.

    I get 8 to 12 scam-o-grams a day. You know, the ones that tell you they have millions of bux for you if you just surrender your life history and/or send a few hundred bux through Western Union. Danged nuisance. Got a new twist today. This one says that the Republic of Benin has authorized them...

    Spark plugs

    I hate to see so many boaters wasting so much money replacing spark plugs. In 50 years of boating I replaced two sets of plugs. I put Champions in an outboard I had just bought to replace ACs, and I replaced a set of surface gap plugs that simply wore out. All of the others I simply cleaned...

    Garmin GPSMAP276C internal battery?

    I have had this unit for about 7 years. It has always worked fine for marine or auto applications. . . until the last year or so. When first turned on after being off for several hours or more it has no idea where it is or what the date/time are. It goes into autolocate for a few minutes and...

    Hummer wars

    I feed a swarm of hummingbirds. Anyone who has watched their activity is familiar with the constant dogfighting. The thing that I am curious about is how they can turn their "hummm" into "HUMMM!!" to attempt intimidation. They don't seem to increase the frequency, just the amplitude of the...

    A moment to remember

    SpinnerBait-Nut, our friend, fellow moderator and helper who passed away. . . .it seems sometimes like just yesterday. He would have been 59 today. He left us far, far too soon. Rest in honored peace, Lester. The footprints you left on iboats fora made a big and positive difference,

    Automotive history rant.

    This really bugs me. The auto related shows on DTV mangle the truth about automotive history. I was watching "101 cars you must drive" this morning. They are from a different planet than I grew up on. I have been a car nut for about 70 years. I was there when: The Le Sabre concept car was...

    Born on the 4th of July

    Every morning when I log in the first thing I do is check the listing of (known) birthday members. When I recognize active members I will post a greeting (unless Bob_VT has beaten me to it). Sometimes I miss. We have over 375,000 registered members, so the chances that someone born on this day...

    Mousemobile?

    I don't love everything about my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid 4X4, but I do really like the drivetrain. It is a pleasure to drive. Now I have a problem. Miserable RATZAKRATZA rodents. A month or so ago I discovered signs of mouse activity in the box of cleaning and emergency supplies I keep...
