Moeller #25516 Honda Oyster Silver Metallic.

Here's what worked for me. Remove the part, and use a fine sandpaper (say, 600 grit wet/dry) under water to remove all paint that is loose, and get a smooth edge between the areas where there is and is not peeling. Prime with zinc chromate, and lightly sand (wet). Then spary several coats with...

If you want to do a full factory restore, that's one thing. But, if you just want a dressed up non-skid surface that's not hard on the feet, go back to Home Depot and tell them that you want the same silica additive paint that's used on tennis courts, colored grey. It's not epoxy, but touch up...

Big Mac: You question the start up time for a Wallas. When you turn the Wallas off, the pump which supplies fuel to the burn pot stops. You'll notice it no longer makes that quiet "clunk" sound. Any unburned fuel continues to burn off, and once the burn is complete, the red panel light goes...

20dauntless: the "fuel leak" you observe makes me suspicious that it's not a leak at all, but an overflow. If the pot in which combustion occurs does not ignite the fuel (low voltage, wind blowing back through the exhause, bad ignitor, or whatever), and you keep trying to get the unit to ignite...

I happen to prefer the auto-inflates, which worked flawlessly for me the one time I fell overboard, and which, between the two we have, have only falsely inflated two times over the years - once after being left to vibrate on the floor while driving down the highway, and once after a driving...

Nick: Several thoughts that might be helpful in your selection decision. First, and I know I'll get argument on this, there's such a thing as too much flotation. The prime consideration is the ability to roll you onto your back, with your face out of the water, and to keep you there. I've gone...

Non- Honda parts for Honda 90 carb. version: Oil Filters: NAPA GOLD 1334 (my choice); BOSCH 3312; or FRAM PH3593A (which I avoid at all costs). Oil: Mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic, available most anywhere. Plugs: DR7EA(NGK), available NAPA. Fuel/water separator (depends on what came with the...

Merv: I don't have enough experience with your motor to speculate on the cause of the problem you describe, but do think you're being too quick to eliminate water in the fuel. As I recall, your motor has two in-line fuel filters under the cover, one of which has a water sensor. It's easy to...

If the question is "does it make sense to have the radio and gps wired to communicate with each other", the answer is HECK YES. If you want all of the particulars, go to the Boat U.S. website, and scroll down under their Safety tab to see a demo video. Ask yourself one question: if your boat is...

A change in the date of an out-of-state graduation ceremony means that Alma's Only will not be able to join in the Carolina Loop cruise. We're very disapointed, and will just have to send our best wishes for a smooth trip. Hopefully there will be a "second annual" where we will be able to come...

Please order two (2) shirts for Alma's Only. One Large, one Medium. Tx.

Don't worry about a lack of restaurants along the way. Alma's Only is set up well for cooking, and will have a cooktop and grill available. If you want to dine on board but haven't done so or are reluctant, just bring your food and paper/plastic utensels, and you'll be set to go. For frozen...

Delta Belle, you’re right on – PTL. I second Dr. Bob’s implicit rejection of the Myth Busters conclusion, and will pass along my observations and opinions on the subject of getting gasoline out of tanks. It is my strongest recommendation that you never, under any circumstances, use mechanical or...

Steve: I'll give you a call to see if you still have space for our tow rig. I prefer to launch at Portsmouth/Norfolk, since doing so allows us to visit a beautiful area that will be totally missed otherwise. I always like to see the aircraft carriers, battleship Wisconsin, etc., and the ferry...

James: I can’t tell from the available photos, but presume that the two-bulb light you have is a Perko combination masthead/all-around light. These are interesting units, but if it were my boat, I’d trash it, and replace with a single all-around LED, and leave the side lights as they are, or go...

Alma's Only is signing up now, and we are looking forward to this trip. I have Garmin format routes which I'll be glad to email to anyone interested. Just send me a PM request. The master is for the entire 139 mile loop, beginning and ending off Norfolk/Portsmouth. This contains too many...

Buy a pair of hip boots. Best boating investment I ever made.

Boris: Last time I was there, you could get very close to the Wright Memorial. I have a Garmin format track which should open in other applications, showing an access point at Avalon Beach, which is a dual ramp state launch area. I'll be glad to send this by email. You could anchor off the ramp...
