    I bought a pair of upland boots for winter fishing. I hate rubber or neoprene boots because they don’t breath. If it’s too cold for lightly insulated leather upland boots my guides on my rod and my reels will freeze anyway. One perk of upland boots is the light and flexible soles that don’t hold rocks to screw up my boat!

    Not Thinking

    This explains Wrench’s situation well…

    Look at where you will primarily go and pick a store that’s convenient. For example if Walmart is near and convenient, they’d win. Same for O’reilly… none last forever ….

    Power to spare is a big success factor for any engine.

    The blade sucks on a mower. It needs to blow for lift and u need a mulching block. .flip it over and report back….😁

    Why does fast food work need to earn a living wage? How do we determine what part time occupations should be a living wage? Who determined minimum wage was to live on? How much drive does it take to out earn minimum wage (very little)…. how many felonies should a person be allowed to work a higher paying full time job? Is there a list of illegal drugs we should standardize and determine they don’t impair the user or their use doesn’t risk their co-workers? felonies and drugs hinder waaay to many “workers”…. If only they were avoidable 🙄

    Typically, there is some kind of edge break to aid in scraping the oil back down the wall. I’ve not studied a merc 4stroke ring specifically. The top edge is a backup to the compression ring. Are those rings pinned or free to rotate in the groove?
  9. Basfis
    If the middle ring is compromised it won’t keep the walls clean. It’s not impossible for it to be upside down from the factory or cracked. It’s job is to keep oil below it.

    Curious if the middle ring is installed the same as the other pistons. It doesn’t look like it was working correctly.

    They bought it in 1953, their choice to sell. Beauty of private property. somebody “took it” long before this owner. Hopefully the next owner keeps the history intact.

    I was beating around the bush… it’s even easier to use curbside for anyone willing to explore the option. FWIW, midway USA has top notch curbside
  14. Basfis
    This is confusing to me. The complaint is they wouldn’t have an item ready for pickup without payment or am I missing something. BPS has curbside pickup which is the same except u provide a means of payment with your order.

    I’m guessing it’s the host that keeps it under the radar. Joe Thomas is beyond boring as a host.... The Ueker reference is slanderous. Bob is awesome.

    Maple syrup from New England is so much better I can’t describe it. Amber high grade from Goodrich Maple farms is a staple in our kitchen after having visited. Goodrich sells online direct too, worth every penny. Unreal on a spiral ham.... I’m a fat guy, I know good food 😇

    I vehemently disagree with the can and do finish high.... the list of donations is much, much longer than winners. Championships have most of the same faces in them paid for by the others. there are wrapped boats that haven’t won a dime....

    It’s a cheap sneaky little POS on the shaft under everything else on a HEI distributor.

    Long ago.... I had suburban that gave me fits 3 different times. One was a pinched injector wire. Really struggled under a load.... darn near free fix once found... another time it stranded me with no fuel and no fire after running poorly.... ended up being a pick up coil.... The last straw was the converter plugging up. Struggled bad under a load. I got rid of it in 2003, haven’t worked on my vehicle since 😇

    100% always with a trailer, maybe even greater than 100% if it was possible. if gin clear and I’m after a reaction maybe no rattle. If it’s clearish rattle in the trailer. Dirty (less than 12”) rattle on the jig.

    Honda produces 23M engines annually. More than any other. I can appreciate your repair perspective. Good engines (reliable, low maintenance) aren’t good for parts and service. Poorly designed engines suck for service. friend of mine left Brunswick for another brand of boat. Business model doesn’t include p&s at an appreciable level due to not needing p&s.

    I’m biased towards Japanese outboards. They just seem to work, much like their automobiles.... I have thoroughly abused a 97 Honda 40 duck hunting and would have another one in a heartbeat. Yamaha 4stroke on our pontoon is incredible. Doesn’t even require a strong battery to get rolling. mercury made by Yamaha 👍🏻 Mercury home brew, probably not. 4strokes aren’t inherently bad outboards. Hp to displacement rules internal combustion. No replacement for displacement.
