    Wiring Accessories for an Outlet

    I need to wire a 3amp water pump to run off of a standard household outlet. It will eventually run through an inverter, but for now I'm testing it on a household outlet. I bought a cheap extension cord and cut the female terminal off. I then installed an in-line 3amp fuse followed by a rocker...

I googled for a long time and didn't find anything that was worth spending money on. I think the X-Clamp by...

    1950's McCullough 7.5hp

    I believe it was also branded as a Scott Attwater. I will try to pull the serial number on this motor tonight. I haven't found anyone making new stators for these. Does anyone know of a source? It's probably a good anchor weight, but the vintage of it is just so cool!

    Which Random Orbital Sander

    I am planning on picking one up to sand the soap scum off the shower door panels with maybe 2000 grit. I will use it afterward to smooth my boat's gelcoat before buffing. First of all, any thoughts against the shower panels? Second, I have narrowed it down to two orbitals based on customer...

    Dream Boat

    Can someone please tell me I'm nutts for thinking this boat is the cats meow? Granted, it's not a tinny so I know I'm losing half my audience right now, but just look at her! If I put a pod on it I'd have the deck, the cabin, and a place to sleep! The vertical cabin walls are saweet...

    Help pricing grandpas boat

    My wife's grandpa is starting to get dimenesia, which mixed with his friends moving away has left him with a boat he's not comfortable taking out anymore. He's planning on selling it out of Pendleton Oregon and was hopeful for $4,900... I'm skeptical but didn't have the heart to say so. It's a...

    Stator Rewrap

    My stator needs to be replaced. It's $147 to replace and I'm thinking of rewrapping it instead. I did this on a 1970's Suzuki PE 175 but that stator was quite a bit easier. How hard would this be to do? Has anyone done it?

    1989 Mercury 60 hp Stator and Trigger WiringI issues

    The wires on my stator and trigger harness are exposed and corroded. Is it possible to repair these (soldering new wires?) or will I need to fork over the $350? That's kind of steep for me since it's a new to me motor and I'm not sure what compression is. Mod Edit - Do you know iBOATS is a...

    I am mounting a ski tower on my 17' fishing boat for an arch but might tow my more adventurous wife behind with it. It is 84" from floor to top of tower. It looks ridiculously tall, but googling the issue seemed to say 7' was right. Is 7' a wakeboard/waterboard/skiing height or should I chop it...

    Photo Bucket

    Okay, you guys tricked me into creating an account. I managed to create a new album and upload my photos. That's where the success ended. I can organize my photos by "Sort Manually" but then it doesn't save my sorting job when I redirect back to the main album. I also can't copy the image's...
