So - I took advantage of the Great Lakes 25% off sale. The weather finally cooperated enough to get it all installed and it looks fantastic. I'm very impressed with the fit and finish - I think it actually fits better than the original pieces. They shipped the front visor windows and the side...

This site provides a listing of gas stations which provide Ethanol free gas. I signed the petition as well - hope it does something before E15 becomes a reality! http://www.pure-gas.org/

I'm looking at new laptops and wanted to get input from you all on screen technology. I know my current IBM/Lenovo T61p screen is horrible in anything other than normal indoor lighting. Anyone have a laptop which they can use/view outside - not bright sun but at least be able to see it. HP...

I'm in the market for a new winch strap for my trailer. Amazingly they don't like getting caught in the winch gears.... What I can't figure out is what capacity it needs to be. Most heavy duty 2" straps seem to have a breaking capacity of 10000lbs and a working load of anywhere between...

I guess the White House will have to start some type of war against the Ethics Panel next since they have opened investigations against 2 Democratic Representatives. http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20091030/pl_bloomberg/akcurs6lycac

So there have been a few phone related threads but haven't seen much regarding Windows Mobile. Does anyone have good apps they can recommend? I'm using Google maps + a freeware GPS app which shows speed and coordinates but it's pretty basic. I currently have a Palm Treo Pro 850 which I...

This is some crazy stuff! A good run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL58hUAGQu8 and of course.... some crashes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-V8cMwkXTk&NR=1 I can't possibly imagine being strapped in upside down in a mud puddle waiting for the safety crew to arrive.

I currently have the white padded vinyl which covers my galley cabinets and other pieces inside the cabin. I'm wondering if anyone has removed the vinyl and the chrome strips which hide the seams and covered with a wood veneer? Doesn't look like the entire inside would require much material...

After a bit of debate with myself... I decided to not reinstall the exhaust I had pulled to inspect. All of the parts had flaky rust pieces in them and one of the manifolds was starting to thin out visibily where I was afraid water might get into the engine. Just not worth it to take the risk...

Doing some preventative maintenance on my boat. Noticed a slight oil leak from one of the valve covers so decided to replace them all. I had to take my exhaust manifolds and risers off to get the valve covers off so I inspected and cleaned them as well as all of the hoses, etc. While cleaning...

Found this - had to post....:smt043

When I purchased my 270, it came with a Seachoice fluke style anchor. I'm not sure exactly how this happened but the shaft is slightly bent so the flukes do not move freely. I don't want to try and bend it back as it's not that good of an anchor anyway. So... I'm now in the market for a new...

There are some classics in there.... http://textsfromlastnight.com/

I have 2 analog battery gauges at the helm. I question their accuracy and am looking for suggestions for their replacement. I'd like to have digital if possible so I can see changes in voltages at each battery (3) when the engines are off and when running. My boat is setup currently with the...

The hot water heater in my boat currently does not have a heat exchanger. It works really well while plugged in - but it would be nice to have hot water when on the hook or just out cruising. Question is - how does the heat exchanger get connected in? My engines are raw water cooled - is it...

So - I finally got around to doing some work on the boat. Replaced my cockpit lighting with LED which made a huge improvement - nice and white instead of yellow. I had replaced the stereo and speakers after Christmas and just got around to adding the XM radio and an MP3 port to the cockpit to...

I'm in the process of switching to LED lights and ran into a snag... does anyone know of an LED bulb which will replace a 6CP bulb? It goes into a courtesy light in the cockpit. I've looked at the various sites and can't find something which says it is a direct replacement. More confusing is...
