West Marine stocks marine wire. Cabelas also has marine wire. Locally I would think you could get it through Napa or the bigger marinas in the area. You could also order through your local car audio shop.

Looks like you forgot the nuts on the back one there Irish.

BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You guys in the South are very lucky!!! Inet pricing in the far North is brutal. I have a basic cable package and it's 5 Meg Down 384K up 20 Gig usage and costs me about $70 per month. The closest we have to unlimited is 50 Meg down 2 Meg up and 100 Gig usage for $120/mo. I could get a better pkg than I have in Ontario with Bell for less than $45. Heck the Fibe 25 package would be less than I am paying now and give me 25 Meg down, 7 Meg up and 100 Gigs usage.

That was a brutal hit. They better hit him very hard for that one. The guys as dirty as they come.

On the bottom of the oil tank are a pair of wires that go to the oil level sender just unplug them and the alarm should stop. Had my sensor go bad in the middle of the lake once and did this. If you remove the beeper you will not only kill the oil level warning but the over heat warning as well.

My vehicle is a little larger (Honda Pilot) than the Rav4 you're looking at but I can say that pulling my 18 footer is like it's not even there. My popup camper is another story but it's very near the towing limit of the vehicle while my boat is at about 50%. You definately know the camper is there but it pulls and stops fine. My vehicle has the same type of all wheel drive system including the center locking diff and the only thing you need to be aware of is you start off in front wheel drive and if the front tires start to slip it shifts some power to the rears. This is all fine and good and it works fine but you need to make sure you do your tire rotation. The reason is the little bit of slippage on the front before it brings in the rears tends to wear the fronts much more quickly than the rears. If you never rotate the fronts will be slicks before the rears show any wear at all. Just a little something you will need to be aware of. One more thing to check is the Rav4's maximum tongue weight and the actual tongue weight of your trailer. My boat is well below the maximum but the camper is very close to maximum and it squats the rear pretty good even with after market air bags. I think the Rav4 will be fine for your needs. IMHO

But I want one!!!! I know the currently available track kits are in somewhere in the $15K range. Yeah, I checked.

Only if used in salt water. Freshwater they don't corrode. And yes it looks like it's missing. Mine fell off somewhere on the road a couple of years ago. Another thing to check is the trim pin that sets the motor angle when running. If it has been lost the boat will try to push the nose down into the water and this will also cause the pulling issue.

Got at least another month of ice up here. Still tons of snow on top of the 4'+ of ice. I haven't had the motivation to go out ice fishing since I got back from Florida though. Can't wait for some liquid water to run my boats around on.

Sunny and -7C with light winds out of the North at 9kph.

Jedi Can you ask him about their fuels North of the 60th parallel? I'm pretty certain that none of the fuels up here have ethanol, but would like to know for certain.

All the pumps I was at in Florida also had the stickers. The pumps at the marinas stated they were ethanol free.

In the US there is a sticker on the pumps that say whether or not the fuel contains ethanol. Do they have these stickers in Canada? I know there aren't any on the pumps here in town.

Yep, Canadian Tire.

Canadian Tire, Napa. You want the motor treatment if you're adding to your fuel. Deep creep is for spraying directly into the carb.

Or move to Yellowknife where none of our fuel has ethanol in it. Our vehicles would be freezing up all ovet the place otherwise.

I just use paper plates and plastic silverware. When you're done, into the woodstove or firepit they go.

Been running 87 octane Shell in my 1991 Merc 90 since I brought it home from the dealer in '91.

I also run the Nautilus gear oil and have been since new. My motor just turned 21 and I have never had an issue. In my sled I run Yamalube oil as there is no other oil in town with the right viscosity (0-30). In your case I would run the Yamalube for the break in period and then switch to a full synthetic. I run full synthetic injector oil in my OB.

It did look like he was hit in the mellon by a snipers shot didn't it?

:rofl2:

I don't know why Mike but this is kind of what I was expecting to see. :rofl2:

Don't forget the ripplin' redfins.
