    Ignition Will Not Fire Until Key Released

    Engines and all ignition components are like new. Had a hard time starting the port engine until I realized it starts right up after I release the key from cranking mode and the key goes into just the running position on the switch; and the engine starts? Thinking the ignition switch? Starboard...

    Looks great!! Any hints how to remove the seatback upright would appreciated. I removed the seats last fall and had them redone, now ready to reinstall if we ever get spring!! Looked like the back to back seatback would be a challenge so I chickened out and just did the seats. Thanks

    Great Lakes Fuel Prices

    North shore of western Lake Erie, Ontario, was around $5.50 to 5.80 all summer for regular (after all the liters and $ conversions). Wanna bet what next summer will bring? ):

    Flexiteak vs Nu teak, cost quality and wear

    Hi Steve, We had Plasteak of Ohio http://www.plasteak.com/ do a "teak" swim platform last year. We could not be happier. I just sent them a "brown" paper template. The material is a flexible vinyl and installed perfectly. The company was great to deal with. Lots of compliments, no complaints so...

    Stater solenoid

    Hi Jeff, I have a had a few of these go, my understanding is typically solenoids die a slow death. The first signs, which maybe what your surveyor encountered, would be a few "clicks" at startup, before engaging and sending voltage to your starter. Then for while everything seems OK, then a few...

    Edmund fitizgerald

    The Fitz was a terrible disaster. Let's not forget Nov. 11 - 13th. 1913, the Greatest storm to hit the Great Lakes, hundreds of souls lost. One ship lost during that storm in Lake Huron, off PT Clark, the Carrauthers, has never been located! I concur with 1956olds, however much we master, the...
