I wonder if its just like scotchguard...which is just an oil-based, water repellent coating? doesnt sound harmful. edit: a coworker drives a convertible corvette, I just casually mentioned it to him. he uses it and approves. I do too, his car looks nice. it's a white top. but says his only...

hmm. Its not hard, Ive done it to some other engines. eliminating oil lines etc. Im not sure youll find an exact "procedure" unless you find someone online whos done it, and posted a how to. just dont forget you did it then run straight gas! LOL

I have been seriously hoping to get another trip in, but i think it might be done. :( havent used it in a month and a half. fall is busy time at my work, and also the Mrs. Plus coaching the two kids soccer teams... Ill keep my fingers crossed though :) but will winterize soon.

I use sta-bil every year, and havent had any trouble. Cant honestly remember what I paid for it. This is what we used when I was younger on the outboard too. also used on atv's :) I wanna say 10-15 bucks.

right on, think I took it as his alternator is fine, because: "You can turn it off and on while on the lake with no trouble at all" if thats the case, its battery or connection. if it was mine, Id stick the multimeter on it, make sure the voltage is high enough while running. then check it...

34 degrees at night right now up here.. no way Ill get my mrs. to go camping. LOL I'M about 50/50 that the boat is getting put away :(

this REALLY sounds like dead batteries, OR something is prematurely draining them. But, the "runs for 30 seconds, then dies" probably not electrical. Ignition system, carburetor...just bad gas... If you have bad or weak batteries, they will discharge QUICKLY with too many start attempts, then...

yes, bizarre summer, indeed. Summer hit on labor day weekend, here, finally(which we took full advantage of) and now its going away, just as fast. :yikes: Maybe done for the year...unless we get some PERFECT Saturdays. I coach two soccer teams that play on Sundays. Recent weather good...

awesome, cool to hear about something of yours doing something cool. That blue voodoo amplifier I had, is still being used by a touring christian rock band. that was 10 years ago.... The guy that plays it tells me he has to turn it way down or he drowns out the rest of the band. :) I miss that.

I like that! very nice. and the colors I would choose, as well.

well then, you wont miss one or two.. should they float my way :) VERY cool hobby. I used to be into restoring/modifying them. I think I had 10 or so guitars at one time...But I sold most of my electric guitar stuff to get into atv's. I had a HUGE crate blue voodoo full stack amp...When we...

indeed... I suppose We've been rather spoiled, and taken most boat trips on off days, aside from 4th of July(less crowded). We were out on the Mississippi over the weekend...which we pretty much skipped all last year except for VERY early and late in the season...for that very reason. eek...

guitar player heh? cool. I play as well. ill take one since you have "several" AND.... you're giving them away LOL. good luck with your sickness. :)

So I saw this coming home from the in laws in Indiana this week. <facepalm> no transom straps even.

I love that you folks say 40 is young. please tell me son, and a few of my coworkers that :) Yesterday, I was training a young man to cover one my clients while we're on vaca next week... he did not know who Ed Mcmahon was when I referenced him. He was born....the year I graduated....

yep "ONLY" :) and, I'm trying to do just that.

VERY cool. summer had a delay this year...odd cool weather, flooding. but we're in full swing now. one month left until school for the kids... My wifes been REALLY busy at work, shes up for a very large promotion... so it was nice to finally just get out there, no time limit, no...

revisiting my introduction thread :) Oh man. this hobby, I had NO idea my family would take to it as much as we have. We started, my son was afraid of boats. Now, he jumps off and swims to shore to check out the scenery...climb rocks etc. My older boy got up on the kneeboard yesterday ON HIS...

NIIIIIIICE! we were watching somebody again last weekend with a flat bottom jet. man did it sound cool... but...Im quoting you here.... "JUST" a 50-75 shot? :lol: most likely just a 50 or 75 shot youll 'JUST' be making more hp in ONE CYLINDER, than in my whole motor. :lol: I...

nifty! I also have those floaties on the pins for the bimini top. I keep losing the floaties... still have the pins though <crosses fingers>
