Norm can you past a picture of the faucet so we know what brand and style it is. Faucets are many and repairs are different for each brand and style. Art

2 OZ of bleach will be diluted more than enough. no worries. Art

Congratulations Pikehunter you get the prize. The key to the puzzle was that it was happening only at one sink. The odor that is occurring is all of the nasty chemicals we combine to make ourselves beautiful. The sink has two passages for water to escape from one is the stopper at the bottom and that goes down to the trap and down the drain line. The other one is the overflow that is an inter passage that gets gunk in and decomposes to give us that sulfur odor. The answer is to close the drain plug and fill the sink up to the overflow then add 2 oz of bleach as you slowly continue filling the sink. You want the water to flow down the overflow for 5 minutes without overflowing the sink. Then drain sink and repeat if needed in 24 hours. Art

Come to the dark side Luke convert to MPH and Gallons...............The litre gas thing is the one that kills me first you got to times it by 4 and then hand them USA money and they make up the exchange rate depending how far North you are. ....Gas is really expensive then. I thought I had the system beat using a credit card but they charge me a conversion fee. It's one of the reasons I put a 28 gallon fuel cell in my little boat. Art

I used to hunt "aswells" but so far I haven't seen one to shoot. Does anyone know what to use for bait? Art

Happy B day to you bud I am glad to see ya around for another year or two...... Art

Don't let them jerk ya around if it says Nissan on it then you got a good car. Art

Know what the difference between a HO and a COHO is????? About 25 bucks each. Someday I got to talk Speil into taking me salmonoid fishin so I can talk about ho's and thinggies. Art

You can go to any carpet place and they will happily give you all of the carpet tubes you want. You might need more than one but hey the price is right. Duct tape the ends and throw them away when they get frayed. Art

happy happy Clive I hope you spent the day fishin or such. Art

I agree with you bernie the boat is usually run hard and put away wet for a few days or even longer when work gets in the way. The advances in marine lubrication and rust prevention on the lubrication side of the motor is really important. A friend of mine have learned that their is a difference between car oil and aircooled motorcycle oil the hard way. Granted he was racing and the engine was pretty wired up but the oil spectrum came back as scorched and coked. I think to pay the small extra for the special blend is a good investment when you are talking how much it cost to repair after an oil related issue. Art

That actually is the bucket that drops down to give you reverse. Since their is no gear box for forward and reverse you can be going 30 mph and shift to reverse and stop fast enough to clear the boat of people with no damage. The trim and tilt is the same as other motors and is the aluminum part bolted between the boat and motor. The boat skids like a jetski the turning force is strictly the water jetting out the back kind of like steering a wagon pushing it backwards. The trick to shallow water running is to be on plane if you are off plane then you are as deep as the weight of the boat displaces. It takes a little time to get used to driving but once mastered you can push a wall of water off plane ...shift to reverse... let it flow over the shallow riffle and then drive over the temporary depth you created. The only reason they are not used much up North is the pump(jet) loves to eat weeds and has to be cleared by hand to restore thrust. The weed factor down here is a lot less so the bad side does not otweigh the advantages. The cool thing about them is you can trim them up and send a firehose amount of water into your buddies boat then run for the shallows if he has a prop. Art Art

O great now I understand why you volunteered to check on my boat at night........that kind of gives me the heeby jeebys just thinking about the off spring of that union..........A really loudmouthed Redneck that can go anywhere he wants. Art

Here you go I forgot they don't use these boats much up North. They are the bomb down here for shallow river fishing. It kind of hard to see but the scum line is were it sits while off plane it below the strafe on the lower bottom The boat is driven from the front of the boat with the driver in the middle..throttle on the right side and a air boat stick that you push forwards or back to go right or left Looking at the side of the motor you can see that the water intake on the bottom is level with the bottom of the boat of keep it from striking underwater objects The power head looks normal but it actually from the factory is a 60 hp power head because the jet loses 33% of its power due to the mechanics on how it processes water for propulsion. This picture while is not a jet drive I figured I would kill two birds with one stone here.Pat here is the picture of The Fish and Whistle that I was telling you about Art

You are too dang funny Terry. I prefer to think of it as a goverment supported program to clean out the gene pool down here in the USA. I have fished from some of the go fast bass boats and the strongest memory was blasting off to the first hole in the spring and having ICE on the helmets........ If you have been to G2G at Lak Air you have seen my(loud) 40 HP jet drive outboard, it beats the 100hp plus boats to all of the good spots............it's not faster it only drafts 6 inches on plane so I get to travel in more of a straight line than you skeg running tiller/console boats. Art

Man does smiley face dude get around....He was down here in Virginia a few years back when I was drinking some home made shine. Art

Thank you Jady for feeding your daddy again......Nice fish too. Art

Sorry bud but I can't help you on this question I have only owned Mercury outboard motors and non of them over 60 h.p. I think Bernie is out your way if he is close enough and rep's then the E-tec looks pretty good with him as the Mechanic. I can help you if you ever need help with Chrysler 318's if I can get parts for them in the future....shudder dread....... pray. Art

I have exchanged a few P.M. with Patrick Scott and after trading insight I think his future posts will be more informative with less incredible "facts" to support them. I have confidence that his 2nd birth on OFC will be much better. Art

Good point Roy the chain makes a big difference. A lot of people think the chain is for abrasion resistance but it really is what gives the anchor the ability to dig the flukes in. I have a 28 LB plow anchor on a 7,000 lb boat and with the chain I have anchored out in 5ft waves without pulling free. Art

dang makes me want to go buy another boat just so I can get it Cliff. Thanks for the offer. Art

I guess Roy wasn't lying about who caught dinner their T.J. Good Job ladies for keeping our fearless leader fed. Art

Awww man I thought he was from the USA all these years..... Can we please have him.... we promise we will return him when we are done playing with him. What if we send Spock can we trade? Art

I had a vendor sell me a set of carburetors and never shipped them. I went thru PayPal and they recovered my money within 30 days and closed the vendors account. It seems that when the seller gets paid from PayPal it is to his credit card/bank account and they are bound for 30 days for an automatic withdrawl if their is a protest. Being a buyer with Pay Pal is golden it's being a seller that would make me nervous. Art

Naw I think it's my underwear chaffing me. I just don't have the tolerance for people Bulling today. I will be a good boy again tommorrow as my tolerance will have built up again. Jocko how much is .79666 of a month? and don't answer me in that metric gobbldy gook I am from wayyyy South and we don't understand that stuff yet. Have a good day all Art
