I know a bunch of you have tried it by now. I started this thread for people to post results and pictures. Ken's thread seems to have stalled, and rather than force people to wade through a lot of "I ordered a bottle" posts, I thought we could start clean. Obviously, we won't know about...

While not exactly a night mode per se, there is an Accessibility setting that allows you to tint your screen. As a result, you can tint the screen fully red, simulating a night mode. This is great for using your iOS device at night without losing your night vision. Also, it only affects the...

I happened across a post on the Maxum forum and found a link to a hosting for engine manuals from Evinrude to Yanmar, Mercruiser to Volvo-Penta. It seems to be hosted in Norway, so I would expect it to be lawful. For what it is worth: http://boatinfo.no/lib/library.html Bryan

I have been having a weird problem with my engine acting like it is starved for fuel at certain RPMs and it is time to see if there is something not obvious that is causing it. The engine is a 7.4L MPI Gen VI GM 454 V8 engine. The current symptoms are: 1. At 2600 RPM, the engine starts popping...

This is a pretty cool picture. http://twistedsifter.com/2015/03/feadship-symphony-yacht-on-gouwe-aqueduct-netherlands/ Bryan

I know there are those who want cameras on their boats for security or monitoring, and I came across this FWIW...

I am looking to in stall one of these (www.quickflushvalve.com), but my question really applies to all in line flush connections. How much water pressure should you use? Can too much cause problems, or will the water pump protect the engine? I was thinking that if there was a problem, adding a...

My HPU resevoir was pretty empty so I refilled it. I suspect one or both of the actuators is leaking, but I was trying to determine if i am getting the full throw. My system is 17 years old, and I don't have a good way to evaluate it other than that it moves at all. Bryan

Since I can never remember the correct link to use from Photobucket, and am linking the same picture in each way that Photobucket allows so that I can keep it straight without editing my picture posts constantly. I am using a pic of the Pride of Baltimore from last summer. Email & IM link...

Who said Kim Jong Un doesn't have a sense of humor? New official slogans for North Korea. These obviously do not translate well. My favorite is "Let the strong wind of fish farming blow across the country!" http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/13/asia/north-korea-slogans/index.html Bryan

This place has great prices, but during the major boat shoes, they run phenomenol sales. They are running their Miami Boat Show sale right now, and I loaded up my cart. While they tend toward sailboats, there are plenty of crossover of products. www.defender.com Bryan

I am in the process of having my fuel electric pump replaced, again, after my engine would no longer start from one week to the next. Other than a faulty unit from the factory, which is entirely possible, what else may kill a fuel pump? I certainly don't want to lose another, so I want to make...

GLBT (http://greatlakesboattop.com) is having its Holiday Sale. The promo code is JOY2014. It is good until December 11th. If you miss this one, there is generally a 20% or 25% sale in the spring. Bryan

One of my projects this winter will be a modest upgrade of the stereo system. One thing my wife would like would be speakers on the bow as she can hear the stereo while up there unless it is turned way up. What we are looking for is a small set of speakers that we can play at a moderate volume...

This ticks a few too cool checkboxes! My wife wants a new kitchen for Christmas, but I want this! http://quadrofoil.com Bryan

I have the original Lofrans Marlin windlass on my boat. The spring and the bolt for the finger has given up the ghost. I bought a new spring, but it did not fit. Now that the boat show is running, there are sales everywhere. I am am interested in purchasing a Lewmar CPX0 Vertical Gypsy...

The program lists SeaRay corporate as exhibiting. Do we know who will be working it? Will Captain Rusty be there? (Fingers crossed) So, what is the word? Bryan

Does anyone know if the RCA plugs on the 6 inch grey wire leads are inputs or outputs? Thanks in advance. Bryan
