OMG, it must be one of those fun urban words...I don't even think about it. From the Urban Dictionary online: 1.something really cool.2.used to express joy in something/someone.3.to express that something is really or very good. 1. Yo man this rollercoaster in the shiznit! 2. Dang i...

You probably have a piece of edge tape or zipper backing jammed between the slide and the teeth. Look on both sides, see if you can see what's blocking it from moving. Could also be a bent or partially torn-out tooth in the zipper. This is not good, can mean a zipper replacement. Always try to...

There is good information on paint and gelcoat care online, just do a search. The debate comes in the top coats that are wax-based, carnuba being the most common, and then there are sealers and synthetic polymer type 'polishes'. Since they are not wax based, they call them polish or glaze...

A good eye and steady hand. :wink: Seriously, peel off the backing and pull the tape out to apply in 4-5' sections being careful to line it all up. Cut and start again at the break in the shear in the middle, otherwise your tape will kink. Apply a 1/2" section of tape over the overlap to seal...

Highway ULS diesel is in the mid 400's and all but the newest diesels like the duramax specify mid 600's ppm. You may be getting something with an additive at a fuel dock, and a diesel powered generator may be fine with whatever in it. BTW, what exactly is the "inexpensive additive" that you...

Yep, Schock Boats had it in stock, $1 a foot. Graphics removed and re-striped, looks like a new one! Just a little plain though. :cry:

Beer and paper...that's funny! That's Bobp! If they haven't been used much or installed only a couple of times they haven't had a chance to relax a little and can be fairly difficult. And yes, heat makes them a lot more pliable. Practice also helps. I've installed side panels in a 30 knot...

That's a fun show isn't it? Nice report. It follows up in a couple of weeks in San Diego if anyone missed this one and wants to go. Great entertainment for a day.

Definitely check out www.opti-lube.com Otherwise the biocide type additives from your favorite marine supply will suffice. In any case you do want to stabilize your fuel if it sits for any length of time in a marine environment. And I don't know what they're pumping at the fuel dock, but...

It's a broken or corrupt image link. Possibly the host where the photo resides is not functioning or there is a security issue with public viewing. Usually the latter.

Does anyone have 10' of the oem stripe tape or a suggestion of where I can get some?

Hmmm...for you or your girl? I'll bet she'd rather have a 'big johnson'. :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum! I grew up in the NW and boated the San Juans and north to the Queen Charlottes for 30 years. Some of the best cruising grounds in the world, for sure. Back in the 80's I would drive from Seattle to Bellingham to sell office products to all the biggest users there...

Not a stupid question, easy to assume they were thinking for you. The selector switch does isolate the batteries from each other as indicated, 1, 2, or all. In the 'all' position your main charge circuit will charge both batteries, with caveats as mentioned prior. The other popular...

HARLEY DAVIDSON FACES STIFF COMPETITION FROM JOHNSON MARINE WHO INTRODUCES A NEW LINE OF MOTORCYCLES At a press conference late Monday, the CEO of Johnson Marine, makers of Johnson outboard marine engines and other recreational equipment, unveiled a new line of heavyweight cruiser style...

The built-in fish boxes make for crappy livewells. The bait is hard to get out, and the lid seal never keeps all the water in so it splashes out when you run up on plane. It is also a horrible shape for keeping 'dines and 'chovies alive. Maybe they work okay on the east coast. :wink: If...

The selector switch has a constant bus-bar from 1 to all to 2. No problems there for switching. The rest of the advice is sound. It's really best to keep a good cranking battery in reserve, fully charged. A second charge circuit from the outboard is the best scenario to do this. Otherwise...

Get used to it...it's more big-brother, big government. And you all wanted change. :roll: Out here they're creating reserves (reads: closures) so they can protect our fishery. It's all based on junk science, the people that have been around the water their whole life know better. The...

Are you kidding? The pump can't weigh more than 3-4 lbs. And you're afraid of holes for the mounting screws for the pump? On the inside? You have to drill holes for the lines and to mount the tabs and actuators regardless of where you mount the pump. And that's all on the OUTSIDE of the...

The head unit is wired to the switch panel instead of the key. That way you have a positive power on/off, and you can switch the whole thing off in an instant. The amp is direct wired to the battery with a 50a fuse, and it has a power-up lead from the head unit. Neato setup. They have those cool...
