    Can't ship to Canada from the commercial site

    Hello, I'm trying to purchase a Michigan wheel propeller (032021) from the commercial website. I can't seem to select shipping to Canada. In the drop-down list the only options available for "Country" are blank, blank and the United States. If I checkout with Paypal it almost works, but then...

    I need an education in ablative bottom paints

    For years now we've been using a hard, traditional antifouling paint on the bottom of my brother's Shark. Although it has worked very well, I'm getting tired of the sanding and repainting. We've been sanding down hard every two years and recoating every year. Am I a fool not to be going to...

    Ignition protection for overcurrent devices

    Does anyone know what fuses/circuit breakers are or are not ignition protected? I need to locate a 30 or 40 amp circuit breaker or fuse in a location that requires ignition protection, and I cannot find much information on the subject. Specifically, I know of some pricey surface mount circuit...

    Labelling a Fuse Panel, Ideas?

    I'm putting together a custom fuse panel. The front panel in which everything is mounted is clear plexiglass. I was thinking I could paint the reverse side white, then use rub-on lettering on the front side. Hopefully a couple coats of clear coat will protect the lettering and stick to the...

    Wheel/caliper interference. Solution?

    I ran into a problem today putting on the winter tires. The snow tires are on their own steel wheels so all I normally have to do is unbolt the alloy wheels with the summer tires and bolt on the winters. <br />But this year I have a new car, and the old steel wheels don't quite fit. The rear...

    Tachometer black box for magnetos, Attn byacey, lark2004 (DONE?!?)

    Well, I never really got very far with this project. All I have is a pickup stage that works off one of the magneto lines:<br /> http://tinypic.com/dfwnd4.gif <br />This gives me a measured signal like this:<br /> http://tinypic.com/dfwn4h.gif <br />The red line is 0v, the...

    Tensioning shrouds without a Loos gauge

    Is it at all possible? I've been able to get the tension even between the shrouds very effectively by sighting up the mast, and the inner/outer tension ratio by sighting up the mast while sailing. But I've noticed they go completely slack when enough backstay is put on so I think I'm not...

    CATransplant: Old style fuel pump filters

    This topic was drifting a bit so I thought I would start a new post. I agree about those old style filters, so this is what I've done:<br /> <br />(the pump on the left is the later pump, just killing two birds with one stone)<br />Thats a short automotive carburetor fuel element I think for...

    Attention 954Winns!

    You're onto dragging up posts that are two months old. The conversations are long over. It's really annoying to us regular board users.<br /><br />I don't mean to come across as an arse, but I thought you should know. Current legitamate posts are getting buried quick by your last 48 posts!<br...

    Switching from 'environmentally friendly' stuff to Varsol?

    I have one of those little 5 gallon parts washers which I've only used those 'environmentally friendly' solvents in. To say the least, I'm not entirely happy with them. It seem to me to be painful to use even when wearing gloves as inevitably a little gets splashed occasionally. And once when...

    '87 DT75 Tilt Lock lever (UPDATE: Got pics thanks!)

    Somehow the tilt lock lever on my uncle's Suzuki DT75 got mangled. Probably from trying to operate the tilt/trim with it locked or half-locked. Here's what it looks like now:<br /> <br />I would like to bend it back into shape for him - good as new, but I really cannot figure out...

    Fiberglass companionway hatch construction DONE

    A year and a half ago my brother lost his sliding companionway hatch from his sailboat during a hurricane. At last, we're looking at making a replacement for it. A little research showed it was a fairly simple affair, essentially a ']' shaped fiberglass section about 36" long with some simple...

    Tachometer electronics question (general)

    I've got an old magneto type outboard that I want to hook up a tach to. I would like to use a modern gauge but since they don't work with magneto ignition, clearly I'll have to build some sort of electronic interface.<br /><br />I don't know much about tach's signal requirements and I'm hoping...

    Bayonet fuel tank fitting o-rings

    I've got an old Quicksilver 25l (6 gallon) steel gas tank that takes a bayonet type fuel line connector. How the heck does one replace the o-ring in the socket that seals the connector? With a pick?

    1965 33hp oversized piston part numbers.

    I'm trying to decide whether to repair or scrap this engine (1965 33hp Johnson RX-13B). The expensive bits are in good shape, but I ended up having to tear down the engine to repair a crankcase leak. While I had it apart, I measured the piston-bore clearance at .015" (same on both cyls). I'm...

    Old OMC Propeller ID

    I'm having trouble identifying a prop I've got here, and if anyone can provide assistance, I would really appreciate it. This is an old OMC pin-drive "Big Twin" type prop (25-28-30-33-35-40hp). The numbers on it are:<br /><br />10 3/8 x 1 ... / .. (maddeningly undecipherable due to a casting...
