    Should you buy a gun or not?

    I am 78 and was born into the Texas gun culture. By "culture", I don't mean persons following a trend because it's cool, but rather people who think no more of putting a gun in their belt than their wallet in their pocket. Here is a piece of wisdom. Anyone can make a gun work - what is left out...

    Mosquito Netting vs Isenglass

    n 82 36' SRV has full canvas enclosure, but it's old and hazed. I was about to have the Isenglass replaced when I asked myself, how about something more utilitarian. I live in Texas, cold is not an issue, but bugs are. Has anyone considered replacing the Isenglass with mosquito netting?

    Need Rebuild - Vacuflush Pump

    True but the O ring seats against a groove in the pumps housing as well as in the fitting itself. Why not do both? Kinda an insurance policy. If it fails what have you lost? Keep us informed. Both?? I like it ... will let you know.

    Need Rebuild - Vacuflush Pump

    TE="dwna1a, post: 1306914, member: 26097"]Increase the thickness of the O rings and use Vaseline on the rings before putting it back together. I'm thinking of chucking the "O" rings altogether and lay bead of Permatex Right Stuff instead. Can't turn out worse than present leaky SOB.

    Wire on Sea Strainer

    What is causing my question is that a freeze broke the glass bowl in the strainer. Marina mechanic took the broken glass out for replacement, quit his job and left me to deal with it. Not a hard fix and when I figure out how to get past the generator, I'll deal with it. However, now the...

    Wire on Sea Strainer

    Subject boat is 36' SRV W/Onan Generator. Can someone suggest the purpose of the white wires shown in the pic of an aft sea strainer . Specifically do they serve to ground the Generator which is in close proximity?
