A little off topic, but still of interest to power boaters. I've got a Rusty Tank from a B&S Pulsajet Carb, 5 hp. There's so much rust inside the tank, it's flaking off and plugging the fuel orifices. It's inside, impossible to reach. I'm looking for Chemical rust eaters! It seems that...

My VW Rabbit had the Bosh FI and I liked it very well.;) Winter and summer it started good, except one winter at -20F for a week or so. Then I had to heat it up with the ReddyHeater.:mad: How does the Bosch work, seemingly without a Computer? Maybe a Computer was there and I didn't know what...

I'm certain this ol' guy needs a new transom. And the Floor boards are spongy.:mad: I wondered about pulling the cap off, hoping someone with experience would guide me.:) If I can't get the cap off, I'll cut out what I need to, and repair from there. Replacing the transom is the Tough job...

I plan on the required Red/Green up front and a White 360 sticking up somewhere on a Removable post. Also several convenience lights inside the boat for Night time help. I see there are Bulbs made up of LED's and some other Made-to-order LED light assemblies. I'd like to hear what you...

I have a couple tanks, some compressors and a few little gas engines. I set up a gas engine, a compressor, on a tank. Now I need to invent a Throttle control so the engine shuts down to Idle, when the Pop-off goes, and when the air pressure goes down below 90, the engine goes to hi-throttle...

I've heard the Illegal Refugees are flooding OZ. Then some one said the Government was picking up the Illegals and setting them on some island out in the Pacific. Do any of you guys know of a Link to help me look into it. I sent the Suggestion to my Congressional delegation.:)

Professional Desalinators on board. Hunderds of Dollars and Noisy operation. I got to thinking....yeah I know that's a problem:p....that we might be able to make a Solar Still. A cookie sheet of salt water in the Sun would evaporate the water and leave the salt. So could we put a tent...

Anybody know where we can get the Black HDPE sheets in 1/4" or 3/8" X 24" or 48" sheets, 8' or 10' long? The kid down under is building a good looking durable boat out of the stuff. I see on Google that people are selling White, but not Black Price shopping is a pain. Those HDPE sales people...

I've always wondered why the Decks must be swabbed. I have a librovox audio-book called "Dog Watches at sea" I don't know what the Dog watch is. Nor do I know what 8 Bells mean. But this is a pretty good story. However, swabbing the decks has always been a question in my mind. Is there...

Famous Sea Fights, I got the name wrong. This is read by several people, and is about the Sea Battles before the Steamers came along. It gives you a great look at what it was like to maneuver a Sailing ship with short range cannon. I got it from <livroboc.org>

The spring time is a booger for starting lawn mowers, Outboards etc when the Gas has set all winter in the Carb. I had the idea of making a fuel injector Solenoid valve operated by some Inductance from the Ign Coil magnet in the flywheel. This is for a Single cylinder engine. It might work...

I have a V-bottom 12' aluminum skiff. I want to build a Jon boat. Lewis boats has a good sketch of what I want. I'm wondering why the V-bottom I have is so tippy?:mad: Is it me? Old and ill coordinated.:confused: Or is it the design? Is there any hidden problems with the 12'X48" Jon...

On my 85 Hp Johnson the lift/drop Hyd. Pump motor is "Open". No continuity between any of the wires going to the pump. Red #12 (power I think) Brown #12 (two of them, one for up other for down? Tan #10 (have no idea what that one does) I can't get the power cord disconnected right now, but...

I'll tell you some of my story, and you'll see why I feel the way I do about Reading and younger Boys mostly, but Girls as well. I lived on a Farm in Southern MO till WWII ended and we went to Seattle as soon as we could get seats on a Train headed west. Most all the Seats were taken up with...

Nobody in their right mind has time for a Sailboat!:p But what if Nimrod got hold of a Catboat? The one with the Sail mast way up front? Then Nimrod decides to go out on the Big water. Bad waves and all like that! So Nimrod makes the Sail Mast on his Cat Boat with a Hinge at the Deck...
