    Fogging with Deep Creep ?

    Starts like a champ

    Last fall when I got my boat I struggled with cold starts on a 2004 2stroke 90. After reading different posts all winter I decided on a startup procedure that involves: pump the bulb hard, push the key/choke/primer? in five times and then hold in and turn key. WOW what a difference! Also in...

    When I'm on plane there is a nasty plume (rooster tail?) shooting up and out about 5 feet from the back of the boat in the area of the transducer mountin plate. Bothe transducers sit below the hull. Aren't they supposed to be even with the bottom i.e. bottom of transducer even with bottom of...

    Update on '97 Cherokee rear hatch

    After unsuccesfully trying to remove panel from inside Jeep I broke down and took it to my mechanic. He determined that linkage was not broken or disconnected-just out of adjustment. While holding handle all the way up he gave the hatch a sharp tap and VOILA she opened! He made necessary...

    Richter anchor

    Does anybody have any experience with a richter anchor. Do they hold well? Do they hang-up? At 40-50 bucks I don't want to leave one on the river bottom. Most anchoring would be done in the Hudson river. Outgoing tide can produce a good current. Thanks

    whenever starter has not been pulled for much more than a few minutes the starter rope will just pull out without cathing the pawls. When I remove the cover and pull to the end it will start to catch and I can start the motor. Shut it down and it bothers all over again. I can't figure out a...
