That's somewhat of the idea. Dr. Bob showed a picture of how he polished gas, as they do with diesel. I am trying to clean the gas tanks and "polish" the fuel by removing the crud and water from fuel that has been stored for a while in the gas tanks on the boat. As we know, the high content...

I have read the past threads on fuel polishing. I am putting one together to clean out my fuel tanks; I plan to draw fuel directly frm each tank, but I am a little "dense". Does the 12v fuel pump go before the separator and "push" fuel through it or does it go after the separator and "pull"...

Was able to pick up some #4 alum direct burial (1000 feet) and will use that for the 167'run - 4 lengths. Got a good deal on EBay. Thanks for all the advice. John Swee Pea

Wow. I've got a lot to learn about electricity. I am establishing electric service to my property. I built the temporary service to building specs, including a meter base and a service panel - just got it inspected and approved. It is a 100 amp temporary service. The electric company will...

Thanks for the input so far. I am taking your concerns to the electric shop and discuss the possibilities. It was funny, but I was talking about this to a friend today at school and the school's interperter overheard my conversation. She said she had to interpret a College class for...

Thanks for the quick reply, Charlie. All the needs at the end of the dock are 110, 30 amps max. That 10-3 with a ground copper is already run 250' UF direct burial. It will be connected to a 50 amp cut off. Then from the cut off to the temp meter 50 amp circut breaker (on a 100 amp...

I need to run some underground electric wire for a 50 amp circut; about 150 feet. I can buy 8-3 UF copper with a ground for over a dollar a foot. I can buy 10-3 UF copper with a ground for 34 cents a foot. The electric supplier said to buy double the length of the 10-3 and run it in parallel...

Replaced the fixed window with a screened model. John Swee Pea

That's how I got my boat's name - Swee Pea. John

It works well, doesn't it? Nice job. A perfect clean fit. John Swee Pea

That's how I hooked up my Honda 90 and Nissan 6, like Rick, except I had to make an aluminum bracket to attach to the Honda so the rod was in the correct position to operate smoothly. John SweePea

If you look in my Swee Pea album page six, you can see how I secured an older Yakima rack to the handrails. I looked for clamps like you are, but some were ugly, others priced 'outa sight. This worked like a charm and are STURDY! I will bet you can find some on Ebay cheap. John Swee Pea

To all interested in this topic: :shock: The fiberglass factory floorboards are not heavy! :roll: 3/4" Plywood with wood stringers would be much heavier IMHO. Dri Dek does not level out the cockpit floor and holds in "nasty goobers" Worry about arthritic fingers when and if you get...

Warren: The factory floorboards did not come with carpeting on them; that must be an invention of some deranged mind :wink . They came with a rolled on rough texture. I can not imagine gluing carpet to them; water absorption, fish guts, soggy. The beauty of the fiberglass floorboards is...

If you give me a few weeks, I will photograph and measure for you and post or PM. John Swee Pea

Charlie is correct regarding the factory floorboard construction. I have the factory floorboards in Swee Pea; there is no center support. I have read about plywood home-made substitutes - I can't imagine that they would weigh less than the fiberglass ones, and if they are fiberglassed...

We have a truck camper on our Ford and haul our 22' Cruiser. We bought a Wal Mart on sale 700w microwave, I think a GE, for $39 or $49, for dual use. It is quite small and light. It does more than pop popcorn and heat water; it can cook. The problem with anything smaller is that it is a pop...

Yep. Just as Nick says. Easy to get out and clean. Not really heavy, just large. I lift them out by myself and lift them over the side to the driveway. Likewise, I lean them against the boat/trailer and lift them into the boat. Not a problem. Scrub them and the deck under them. Clean! I...

I like the cabin floor just as it is. Twice :oops: when my boat was in the driveway at an angle to the bow, we had a suprise rain while I was at work. The downpour was so great so quickly that the bilge pump at the cabin door could not handle the amount of rain and ... you guessed it, cabin...

Cobb now sells it's own "charcoal", described below. Some of its ads say ready to cook in 3 minutes, below says 15 minutes. Cobb claims: Lokkii Charcoal a is Ready-to-Light Solid Charcoal Brick with a 100% Organic firelight formula is a one of a kind! The Charcoal Brick is scientifically...
