    What food do you feed your dog?

    14 years as a K9 officer in south Florida I can tell you that Iams Eukanuba was the best. No waste, small bowel movements and no skin issues. I now have a 13 month old GSD which I imported from Germany prior to retirement and she gets Eukanuba once a day (2 cups) with no issues. She is...

    Hydro turf or carpet

    thanks, the bottom of my boat is still aluminum except for the battery tray which is 2' by 40" at the very front of the boat. I plan on using the hydro turf on the benches and the middle floor.

I am wondering how it holds up compared to carpet and once it is installed what is the up keep. I have some on a personal watercraft installed by...

    Duracraft finished

    Very impressive boat you got there. Was the Hydro turf hard to work with? It looks like it is a little thicker than carpet.

    Fuel mixture for Evinrude

    Took my tinboat out today and noticed alot of fuel/oil smoke coming out of my 6 hp Evinrude. It is an older motor and has recenly all been re-done. My question is with a 50 to 1 fuel mixture is that too much? Could it be reduced to say 45 or 40 to 1 and not affect the motor. I use a...

    what is the right hp motor for me!?

    I have a 12' Jon that I use in saltwater it has a 6hp on it and I get around fine. You have to be careful out in the gulf though. I stick to the mangroves and canals. Good luck

    Motor bogs down

    How about some Seafoam additive in the fuel mixture. Would that help him clean up the carb as well?

    First OB

    Thanks again bassboy, you saved me a part of my Sunday afternoon. Just a shame that that will end up in a body of water. Mine is not leaking nearly as bad as the one in your photo.

    Lean or Rich setting?

    thanks

    First OB

    With the color of the oil that is coming out it looks like it has been mixed with water. Is that common? Also if the seal was bad there would not be the light color oil right. I have a small evinrude that seeps out where the lower unit comes together and it is the dark color, I thought that...

    Lean or Rich setting?

    Where should the lean rich setting be? I have a small outboard and am not sure where I should set the lean/rich. The motor runs fine and there is not a noticeable difference no matter what the setting. I think the difference would be in fuel mileage. thanks

    trying to get year of Evinrude 6hp

    Thanks fellas it is a 1976. Having trouble finding the trim plastic/rubber piece that goes around the cowl. Is there a generic peice or material I can use. The motor won't be left on the boat. After each use it is cleaned and placed indoors in my shed. Can a c-channel weather strip be used?

    Finally getting a new (to me) tin boat, a 1436

    I've followed your progress throughout this modification. Great Job. Do you have a ball park $$ figure of what you have invested in the project? I could not imagine the hours invested. You ended up with something to be proud of though.

    1984 johnson 6 hp question

    I have a 1984 Johnson 6hp and just replaced the impeller and water pump. I am having a serious problem getting the lower unit back on. Everything seems to line up shaft, water tube but it will not come back together. How much force is necessary. I can get it to within an inch or so but as I...
