Great news !! Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Incredible !!! Very brave ! Her smile is like a bright light of hope for all. All the best for her.

Those bearings on the blower are pretty standard, you can get them from Master or Frontier as mentioned above, you have to know the size etc, not overly complicated if you're mechanically inclined, if motor bearing are noisy, they can be replaced at a motor repair shop like Carson Electric in Scarborough, not a big deal. Any doubt, I strongly suggest you call a qualified service man, since your furnace is very old, you might as well get the heat exchanger checked, carbon monoxide leak is something serious and should be checked by a licensed technician. Replacing it with another blower, you must replace it with same HP, RPM motor and a blower with the same CFM rating for proper airflow / heat transfer, or you can have other serious problems, specially during heating season.

I wouldn't use a charger more than 20% of battery's reserve capacity.

1- how long a battery will last depends on " Amp hour rating " of your battery and " Amp draw " of motor. Example : battery rated @ 120 amp per hour Motor rated @ 40 amps ( full speed ) Battery should last for 3 hours at full speed, or almost twice as long @ half speed . 2- a battery tender @ 2amps will eventually charge the battery, but it will take 60 hours to charge that 120 amp hour battery when fully drained, ( just an example ) That is not a good way to charge a deep cycle battery, Ideally you want to fast charge a deep cycle to 85% ( I use 10amp or 15amp rate of charge ) and than trickle charge it to 100 %. A good automatic charger will do that for you. Trickle chargers are for storage / maintenance purpose .

Positive thoughts sent your way.

I change engine oil, gear case oil, pull plugs out and replace with clean plugs ( not new ) Remove prop, check for any fishing line etc, clean prop shaft and coat with fresh grease I use stabilizer in every tank anyways, I have never fogged a 4 stk,

Those are very nice Marino wool socks, Not as heavy as bps but Costco 4 pack for $12 Marino wool socks are an awesome deal for every day use

1.21 @ most places in TO, They are saying is lowest in 12 months, I have a feeling it's not going to last

Now thats a Pickerel !! WTG

LOL The wonderful world of www has an endless supply of cut & paste information and some wonderful theories In a perfect world under perfect conditions, an on board charger should perform as good as the description on the box, BUT in reality, there are too many variables, like quality/make of charger, condition of batteries, wiring, location and embient temprature (or in some cases a closed compartment temprature during charging) etc. I deal with 36v auto floor scrubbers on almost daily bases, all have 12v heavy duty commercial duty deep cycle batteries and come with state of the art microprocessor controlled automatic chargers. I have seen a few "cooked" batteries and heard of a few fires because on board charger was left plugged in, Had endless discussions with battery wholesaler and technician, nobody can argue that in theory an on board charger is better and very convenient, but in reality there are too many variables like I mentioned above. Mybe its just me, but I just don't like to take my chances with today's offshore made "reliable" electronics. Besides, I figure if every time before charging, I have to open the battery compartmant, battery box and the compartment where the on board charger is mounted (ventilation), I would be better off to just use a good quality portable charger with charge rate and charge level display, I have it sitting somewhere where I can read this information every time I open the garage. and disconnect it when the battery is fully charged. Do whatever works for you, specially if you are getting over 10 years out of a single battery, To be honest, I have never heard of such long usefull deep cycle battery life. To each his own.

It doesn't really "remove" water from your tank, it breaks it down in to micro droplets which are then easily burnt through engine combustion. Stabil Marine is more expensive but you only have to use 1/3 of the amount compare to regular Stabil. so it actually works out the same $$, if not cheaper. Star Tron fuel treatment is also very good for the same purpose.

Batteries will last just as long if you keep them fully charged and maintained without keeping the charger plugged in all the time. Like I said, on board chargers are convenient but not important. Yes, it's time for some people to read up on battery maintenance.

A smart on board charger is convenient but not important for keeping your battery charged and healthy, Any good automatic charger with proper charging rate (Amps) can do the job, Deep cycle batteries have to be charged quickly after use, but you don't have to have the charger plugged in at all the time after the battery has been fully charged.

Adopters are available, I have seen them at Home Depot .

Good for her !! She is not only fighting for herself but she is a beacon of hope & courage for many others !

Stabil Marine

Just snug is good enough, I always use bungee cord, Any " pro staff " claiming that a transom saver can pull the boat of the trailer is trying to push his sponsor product like "My Wedge" which might be called a "motor hydraulics saver" but does nothing to save your transom.

I use it all the time when trailering my boat, lots of miles on the road, no issues at all. I suggest the one with 4 little pinch pads on the heads, this design keeps the motor straight http://www.basspro.com/Swivl-EZE-Pro-Adjustable-Head-Transom-Saver/product/10205180/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT Initially I started with this type but it does not keep the motor straight and I think it could damage the paint when the motor flops over to the side http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Outboard-Boat-Motor-Support-Bracket/product/83274/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT Whatever style you decide to get, make sure it is compatable with your trailer, some are only designed to be attached to a roller at the back of trailer, you can also get one with the option of a little bracket you have to screw on the trailer

After washing. it is important to restore DWR ( durable water repellency ), water, dirt and grime getting in the fibers (wetting out) will reduce the waterproofing and durability of garment. water should just beed off from top of the garment.

I use Nikwax "Tech wash" to clean my Gore tex gear and then Nikwax TX.Direct WASH-IN to restore waterproofing, Just follow the instructions, regular laundry soap can damage the water repellency (water beeding) of goretex garments.

Marine wire is tinned, The Rigging Shoppe has it in all sizes and sell it by the foot, they are located on Midwest rd in Scarborough

BTW, Cocoons come in 3 sizes, S M L to fit over many style of eyeglass frames, properly fitted they provide good coverage from all sides.

Cocoons are good polarized fit overs , LeBarons have the Cocoons and a cheaper brand ( I don't remember the name ) You can get polarized fit overs at shoppers, Costco and most eye glass places.
