Dang man! Every time you post something personal I have to look and see who posted it because I think “that sounds like me”.

My friend’s dad passed away back in the 80’s of pancreatic cancer when we were teenagers. He (the dad) had been a police officer in the small town of Altoona, Alabama. Back before there was WWF there was Southeastern Conference Wrestling at Birmingham’s Boutwell Auditorium. The dad once took us...

Just a random thought. I wonder if the Baby Boomer generation was linear with an increasing number of automobiles with air conditioners.

My first vehicle did not have AC or power steering or power brakes. I think my parents figured that as a form of birth control in the Alabama heat. Worked flawlessly.

Big city folks have the power coming in from the bottom. Country folks have it coming in from the top. Except me. I’m in the country and had mine buried when I built my house.

Learned to drive on a Ford 3000 with a 4’ bush hog. Except ours had turf tires so it must have came from a golf course. Then on the road in a Chrysler Newport Custom. Slid that thing sideways through a red light when I was 15 with mom screaming her head off in the back seat. Funny as shit...

These are the only lights on the Apex sight that worked and have good linens. All of my holes are 2 7/16” and the factory lights fit tight. These lights I bought are for a 2” hole so they go in and out really easy and the bezel covers the hole. The cool whites are 330 lumens and the warm whites...

Update: I left the lights in the crews quarters and the head on for 6 hours. There is no noticeable flickering.

https://www.apexlighting.com/boat-lights/small-recessed/mirage-flush-mount-down-light/ Did I buy cheap crap? All DC This is what I bought. The specs say they are dimmable but the particular circuits I put the first 8 lights on are not dimmable switches. There are four over the galley that...

Bumping this old thread. @ttmott it looks like you have some in depth knowledge on this subject. I’ve started down the rabbit hole of changing all of my small recessed lights throughout my boat with LEDs. First thing I noticed was that if I don’t look directly at the lights I noticed...

I just thought of a way Miley Cyrus can be more trashy!

They told me it would be about $30k for engineering and then it was about $30k each for the props.

35% improved fuel efficiency which would IMO imply 35% less drivetrain wear (per mile) and 35% more range on a tank of fuel. https://www.sharrowmarine.com/performance-reports/2022/12/20/boattest-captains-report-sharrow-mx-propeller-review-world-cat-325-dc-with-twin-yamaha-300-hp-motors

At $90k investment and $6 fuel it’s a 350 engine hour (at 32 mph) ROI.

Called them last year and got a quote for my 680. $5000……. I wish.

I have a 2011 SLX. Not sure what you have at the helm but this unit took the place of the remote at my helm. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_953MXA1MC2/Memphis-Audio-MXA1MC.html I had to open the hole up just a hair with a dremel but all and all I’m really happy with it. Also I can’t say whether...

A Canadian family (with their business) moved into our town a few years ago. The owner was saying to me how with all of the traffic in our area he notices there’s almost no road rage, specifically people aren’t constantly flipping each other off. Said he thinks it’s because everyone knows that...

Now we’re talking! No waste of my tax dollars. I love it.

I got mine at the local Napa store.

I have one of these connected to an old iPad that doesn’t have a cellular modem. It works great.
