    Temperature Gauge

    Keep in mind what type of sensor you have reading the temperature on the engine. Some sensors are reading actual water temperature, but some are reading the temperaure of water jacket (engine block). If you are reading the jacket temp, it will have higher temps on the gage maybe 20 degress...

    Tire recommendations

    The van has 101K on it now and the funny thing is I got about the same milage out of the OEM tires - about 50k (they were Generals -Americans or something like that). I asked inquired about them today and I was told they are not made anymore - Go figure- they actually performed as advertised...

    Tire recommendations

    I need new tires for a Ford Windstar. I have Goodyear Assurance comfortred right now. They are rated for 80K miles and I only got 51K out of them. The van is is a '99, but I want to get 2 -5 more years out of it. Figure about 12K a year on average we put on the van. I was happy with the...

    fishing equipment opinions needed ...

    I have gone to Shimano rods in the last few years. They are very affordable for the inshore bottom fishing and light to medium spinning gear. I think they are great rods for the $$. Another thought is many tackle shops have used tackle sales usually at the beginning and end of season. I...

    Fishing - July 4

    We went out this afternoon after the sun showed itself for a few minutes. Ran over to the normal fluke stomping grounds. We picked up a 14" scup (porgy) (one of the biggest I've seen) a barely legal sea bass and a 20.5 fluke. Actually my 8 yo got the fluke. We had it and some BBQ spareribs...

    Northstar F210

    I put one in last season. It is a very nice unit. You have three different volume readouts. Gas- which is how much is in your tank. Trip - how much you have burned for that trip (assuming you reset after each trip) and total - which is how much you have burned for the year. Also you can...

    INCA Fuel tank

    Yeah it is a PITA to get the tank out on a '78. I cut the deck up aft of the removable access cover. I replaced my tank with a 52 gal tank from overtons. It took some glass work in the bilge area, but it was worth the 6 gallon increase in capacity...

    Boat and Trailer Title and Registration

    Here in CT you need brakes on trailers rated for 3000 # and over in order to register the trailer. My trailer has a 6000# axle and springs and 15 " tires and NO BRAKES, therefore NO registration. I was thinking of getting brakes strickly for the inspection and registration and then taking...

    trim motor replacement

    What year is the Mercury? I changed mine last year - it's a 1988 Mariner. I had to remove the starboard bracket (but not the engine) and I replaced the motor and pump as an assembly which was about $400+ for the parts. Check ebay - there are many later year trim components listed. Mine was a...

    Bilge pump / switch issue

    The switch is white with the blue writing. It is the Rule-A-Matic Switch. I hoped to get at least one season out of it - actually I expected to a FEW seasons from it. Rule advertises a 2 year warranty on it - so I'll see what they say when I bring it in!!

    Bilge pump / switch issue

    I'm having a problem with my bilge pump and wondering what others think of the problem and my approach to fixing it. Late last year at the end of the season I noticed that the pump was running with the three way switch in Auto without the float being raised. It was not running full speed, but...
