    Sun Tracker 22' DLX pontoon Fishing Replacing Tubes where to Buy ?

    He just builds custom boats, repairs them, and builds many things. For me alone he has built a loading ramp, a custom trailer, volatile materials cabinet, work bench, and aluminum staircase. He has repaired dozens of boats, and I've referred several people to him myself, all were happy. I take...

    Dogs would love that for sure! If you want something quick and easy as a treat, get some Shake It Pup seasonings, i have about 5 different flavors, and every few days shake it onto the boys food.

    Sun Tracker 22' DLX pontoon Fishing Replacing Tubes where to Buy ?

    A fabricator should be able to repair that no problem. Make sure you check your trailer over very well, it took a huge impact. Last thing you need is the trailer failing at 70 mph on the hwy. I showed the pics to a buddy of mine who is a fabricator, he said that isn't too bad a fix, so long as...

    Backfire from exhaust

    65 psi compression on #2 is a huge problem. Rings? Scored cylinder? Does this motor use a reeds? If so have you replaced them? Does it have a power valve system? Is it working properly if it does? They get gummed up and stuck. Is spark still strong when hot? Engines have good spark cold, and...

    How old is your outboard?

    About to replace a 3 year old 25 Merc, with a new 50 Honda. My fault for buying a new boat show package deal boat, without an in water test. Had I not broken my own rule, because it was new, and a special weekend price, I would have discovered it was severely under powered. The boat really needs...

    2021 Nascar - Race #10, Talladega

    Good race, good last lap for sure. I'm proud of nascar for letting them race it out, and not waving the yellow again on the last lap.

    Backfire from exhaust

    Make sure that fuel lines are not running close to anything that gets hot, if so, replace with new hose and wrap in reflective tape before installing. If its a hot only issue, could be too running too rich, but could also be hot fuel going to the carbs. Also did you replace the intake gaskets...

    Are there internal anodes on a Honda BF 130

    I haven't seen specifically a 130 Honda, but on other Honda outboards I've not seen anodes under the cowling on some, just on the leg. Then on others, on both the leg, and under the cowl.

    Did they ever say for sure what caused the pit lane fire in Busch's car? I had to go out to the shop right then, and missed any conclusion.

    Upgrading to a 50 hp Tiller

    A lot of Honda and Merc dealers to, and see a ton of them on boats. At least in the areas I frequently boat I would say that in order of most popular to least it is Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, and Very Very Rarely a Suzuki or Evinrude. I don't remember seeing a Suzuki or Evinrude even once the past...

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    30 mph cruise is not a bad speed. Hopefully it all works out okay in the end

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    Yikes! I back my trailer in until a gentle nudge pushes my boat off when launching. When retrieving the boat doesn't touch the bunks until mid way up the boards, and i am going slower than walking speed.

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    I know this doesn't help you now, but never ever buy a boat without an in water test. Although I am only an auto tech, not marine mechanic, I have worked on many boats for people, and been asked to look over dozens of boats for people who are thinking about buying them. I refuse to do an on land...

    Shellfish allergies

    Found out that I am allergic to pineapple by eating it, and throat swelled shut. Now I don't even buy juice in the store without reading the entire list of ingredients, because so many use some pineapple juice as a filler. I learned that by drinking cranberry/raspberry juice one day. Another...
