    Prop Replacement

    Still looking at the Piranha props for my boat. The blades can be change one at a time so if you hit something you are not replacing the whole wheel. PLUS they are made of a sort of polymer and won't transfer all that energy into the drive if you do hit something like stainless wheels tend to do

    I have been looking for JUST the plastic nuts that hold the electrical switches on my dashboard. All the switches are still good and in operating order but a lot of the round plastic nuts/escutcheons are broken or split so the are not holding the switches in place. I've tried a couple of...

    Where the Hxxx is my oil filter located ?

    Re: Where the HELL is my oil filter located ? P.S. I also get the joy of trying to get the fuel filter to come off AFTER some hammer head decided that a 1/4 -1/2 a turn after the filter seats was not enough to make sure that it was tight. You need to tighten the filter to the point that only...

    The story behind your boat's name

    The name of our boat "FOOLISHNESS" has a bit of a story behind it. My wife lost her mother a couple of years back. She was not a woman who ever really saw the need for glitzy, expensive things that you only enjoyed a couple of months out of the year. She was born in a time of the Great...
