    K&N air filters......yay or nay ?

    They actually replaced mine a few times. Apparently they have a tendency to shrivel up in some applications. Mine shrank to the point that it wouldn't fit in the holder. Kind of annoying. Also kind of bad for filtration.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Old man looks happy. This is a little more flat out. First time I've seen the thing finished running around. Now I understand why everyone says it looks sketchy when I'm running in the chop. Certainly doesn't feel like that much is coming out in it. Glad he's happy and had a great time.

    K&N air filters......yay or nay ?

    I have one in the corvette not by choice... no one makes a paper filter for it anymore. For the couple thousand it gets driven a year it's fine. I wouldn't use one on a daily.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    I've had some outboards with really good dock manners. But I agree... they tend to be less decisive, particularly in reverse. My 4winns with the I/O is particularly good around the dock. A lot of people have run it and are surprised because people associate single I/O woth wandering in reverse...

    More than likely. We were in class about a week and a half. NJ started earlier than normal that year

    Where were you 25 years ago today.

    Lost a close family friend that day, thought we lost more. Kindergarten was only half days at that time so mom got me off the bus like usual at 12:00. I remember one of the AM news stations being on in the car ride to the office but didn't think much of it. It was when I got to the office and...

    We have the same problem. Apparently sedans with NY plates aren't actually great for driving on island beach state park. :rolleyes:

    safety chain question

    I've pulled a lot of people from the sand down in OBX. I'm convinced no one airs down.

    I think raising them is going to get you where you want to/need to be.

    Swim Platform Slap - Reduce?

    Does it just sit low or is it sitting low because it is water logged. I only ask because at that age and being new to you there can be some underlying issues making things worse.

    Happy Labor Day !!!

    My side job ends next week. The weeks leading up to thanksgiving are the best boating you'll ever get. And I finally have time to do all the stuff I've put off all summer because I'm busy... Including your soty plaque. :oops:

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    So like 30-33 mph is the "sweet spot' it seems. That tracks with most V-hulls I've had.

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    Actually thinking about it, the export models are wired a bit different. So it may not even work. On like my truck, I can hit the tow/haul button and that accomplishes the same thing. Obviously not an option on a car.

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    You can typically force/override to full alternator output by manually turning the lights on for most GM vehicles. I'd be interested to see if that works

    Alpha One Gen 2 Outdrive Mystery

    I feel it is easier to split and reassemble the halves off the boat with the lower in a stand... but it's personal preference really. When you split it, you should be able to see where the leak is, it only runs down.

    The 15-20 year old ones are just as bad. They've always been crap.
