    Advice Sought on Oil Additive for BF150

    I add Marvel Mystery oil to the fuel as well as Stabil. The Marvel gives slight upper end lube while keeping an oil film on the aluminum surfaces to minimize oxidation from moisture in the fuel. In addition, I use ethanol free fuel. So far it has worked well for me for many years on our 4 stroke...

    Dustin, if you get that boat I would move the fuel filters out of the cockpit area and into the splash well. Ron

    Holes in the hull

    See page 7 of snoopy-c album. I used Seacast material to repair a similar problem area. This is transom filler used as a repair and then reglassed into the sole. I spoke with numerous folks experienced in using that material. The seacast folks did not initially want me to use it in that manner...

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    I don’t know how a mechanic could determine “frequent” overheat - frankly that is bs. I come from a family of master mechanics and have done troubleshooting, and overhauls, on many different engines, as well as all mechanical troubleshooting and repairs. Overheating can crack a head and impact...

    my oil looks like a milkshake :(

    A thermostat doesn’t impact only 1 cylinder. The thermostat will add condensate to the oil, but will not make 1 cylinder wet, nor make 1 spark plug a different color than the rest.

    Swapping boat trailers in backyard

    I had the boat off the new trailer to be used. I took the winch and bracket off the boat trailer, and slid the new trailer back against the boat trailer, and proceeded to use the new trailer’s winch to pull the boat off the current trailer onto the new trailer. Can also use blocks and jacks to...

    Tomcat 24 Plastic Mounted on Hull Side

    Seems like a real easy to paint strip that would lower the noticeability rating. Hatteras off-white would match right in.

    Coeur d'Alene City in Idaho

    You can do that in Coeur d’Alene at the boardwalk, although it is quite spendy for eating. You can also motor towards the south end of the lake and stay at Rockford Bay where there is a restaurant at the marina. You can go a little farther and stay in Windy Bay or at Gasser Point which are boat...

    Stalling when throttling up too fast

    one other thing that I do is to add Marvel Mystery Oil. The thing that this does is to provide an "oil" to the gas to both give more lube to the rings, but coats the aluminum parts in the fuel system (carbs) with the oil, which helps inhibit the oxidation of aluminum when the fuel sits in the...
