  1. The other day my a/c went down. There was no one home to shut it down. The motor burned up do to compressor failure. This is where my mount comes in. The Hvac tech is a avid fisherman and love the fish. He like the fish so much, he is going to install my new a/c for 2000. He told me , he sold the same unit for 2500 plus instillation just around the corner. When my friend talked me into keeping that fish. I would have never knew it would have save me money on a a/c unit.
  2. The nautilus case is made of plastic. If the charger shorts, you don't have to worry about getting electrocuted when you touch your boat.
  3. Your engine should be fine. As for motors, I didn't know you had to break them in.
  4. Most multi meters only can handle a amperage draw of 10 amps. The starter draw 60 amps and a trolling motor is 30 to 40 amps on full. If you tried to check the amperage straight across your battery, You would draw the full amperage that the battery is holding at the time.Blowing the fuse and or burning up the resistor in your meter. So using voltage as a guide. A good battery will not drop under 12.4 volts when drawing the amperage that you need. This is why you never draw the amperage from you deep cycle below 2/3. It will cause the battery to heat up and cause sulfating. Voltage just sits in the wire until the amperage is commanded to push the voltage, creating a current. Gravity testers are nice.But are only accurate if you wash them out with distilled water after each use. Some residue will be left behind, giving you a false reading with the next use.
  5. Can remember Jim from announcing nascar on wide world of sports. Also Cart.down hill,bobsledding and many other sports.
  6. I just love how it went from, man made global warming,too global warming too climate change. I've been a out side worker for 30 years, and the last heat wave I remember was 2000. A true heat wave is when the day temp and night temp only fluctuates 3 degree for 5 full days.
  7. In the old carb days, you could poor all most any thing down their and get more horse power.( my two favorites where glycol and wind shield washer, both have alcohol) Eg:So you get more horse power 400hp which creates more toque 760lbs which intern at a speed of a 100kph at 2000rpms(using my truck)their is more toque to the pavement which in turn will make the engine work less as to a stock 360hp and 640lbs. engine that is running at a higher rpm.Making the higher hp engine more fuel efferent. Now you don't have a carb. So you need a product that will attach to you fuel rail. Gasoline already has water in it to help engines to get better gas mileage, also makes the engine run hotter so the impurities of the gas wont carbon up your engine, hence a cleaner running engine. Why bother. As the market dictates it the car companies will come out with engines that will have 60 then 70 mpg and so on and fart Daisey for emissions.
  8. Voltages of a battery means very little. It's all about amperage. To check a battery you have to put it under load. to check the the trolling motor battery. Turn your trolling motor to high. the voltage of the battery should drop no lower the 12.4 volts on a fully charge battery. To check cranking battery turn on all eclectic components, hit your kill switch. then give the engine a quick turn while testing. the battery should not under 12.4 volts. If you don't like this way of testing. Get your self a load tester.
  9. TC-W lll is just that TC-W lll. Their is two types regular and a low ash. If you want to listen to the marketing mambo jumbo go a head. A fool with his money is soon parted. I'm a heavy equipment technician and engine builder.
  10. I'm one of the cheapest dude's you will ever meet. I would not even think of tipping the owner/ operator. They have already calculated there cost to make a profit. As for the deck hand I have and will tip. Back in the 80's I had a friend that ran a charter on lake O. From time to time, he would take me out for free and I still tipped the deck hand.
  11. Got a good laugh, when the security guard tazered the guy.
  12. I applauded you Cliff. Thats really a great video.
  13. Their is only a couple of reasons why rivets would pull out like that The first and foremost is that the two pieces that are held together are moving in two different direction. Aluminum boats flex alot.But how they are desiged, is so the aluminum sheet flexs betweem the riveted hard points. Leaving the alloy lax to be able to asorb shock while preventing stress on hard points. If this happens at hard points(on the transom,where the transom is attatchted to the boat,where the the hull is riveted to the support struts,ribbing.)It is duo mostly that the rivets where not seated tight or poor design. If this happens on rivets that hold things into the boat. Such as floors and casting decks. You are lucky the boat didn't snap in two.
  14. There is no true theory on hp to thrust. HP= torque Trust=propulsion Thier is a way to get close though. You need to know how much hp's and torque there is at the prop shaft and the rpms. from this you can convert it in to kilowatts. Then from kws you can convert to thust.
  15. oops, wrong log in, let me try this again. Joey
  16. Nice catch. But, what are you doing. Their Salmon to be caught
  17. Happy birthday my dearest. Oh,and by the way I'm going drinking with the Guys tonight.
  18. It's no better or worse then any other engine on the market.
  19. It's nice to see are government still believes in common sense. Unfeignedly the people don't know what it means.
  20. 16 gauge will be fine. The easy way to join 3 to 1 is to use a cross over bus bar. All this is a bus bar that has a bar that inter connects all 3
  21. I have done some work on my truck. On the average a diesel truck gets about the same fuel efficiency as a mid-size car.
  22. Monroe's are very good too. If you want to go cheap, Jaspers will get the job done.
  23. Raybesto is very good brake,Just put a set on Joey's van. I use ceramics on the truck.Great stopping but very hard on the disc's Ceramics are costly though. At work we only use Ray's. It a different style braking system, but we are also trying to stop 300.000 lbs.
  24. GERRITT!!! Stay away from WHITE box parts.Their crap or stolen parts. If I was you, I would only buy top quality parts. Expressly if you plan to drive the truck for another 5 years.
