    F-150 Transmission Issues (I think? . . . No, I thought )

    Ford issued a TSB for the 4 speed heavy duty trans in 2008 to put some anti shudder oil in it. Not sure if they have issued it for the 6 speed but it helped my 04 with a sticky lockup solenoid

    Getting a Generator,which brand??

    If you have a choice, I would look for a dual fuel. Here I can run on propane as well as gas. I have 4 propane tanks and during our deep freeze two years ago, propane was easier to get than gasoline

    88 sea ray with 3.0 mercruiser.

    I had the 3.0 and anytime it was hot it was difficult to start. Finally turned choke off, and no issues cold or hot. When hot engine, open throttle 1/4 and see if it starts easier when you get choke adjusted. In Texas and Florida, I don’t need a choke so had mine turned off

    Trailer balance questimate?

    Ideally 10 % ±2% of your trailer weight should be on the tongue. For me, the easiest way would be to move the axle back about a foot. You would need to know your motor weight, your hull weight and your gear weight where it is normally stored during towing to work the calcs out.
