My oil filters (2 per engine) fit straight up and down so I fill them, let them sit then fill them again. I do this until they are almost full them put them on hand tight......I might over do it a little tightening but I figure better safe than sorry. My engine oil capacity is about 7 qts so I then ...

Depressing night last night as I sat and watched the votes rolling in......it boggles my mind how ANYBODY can be satisfied with this countries current direction..............Democracy works until the voters realize they can vote themselves entitlements............I think we just witnessed that reali...

I hope all of you on the east coast got through this storm all right. Very scary images on the news. Thoughts and prayers coming from the west.........John

Sweet! it worked.....maybe there was another easy way to get pics from phone to photobucket but I didn't know it........this is a big improvement for me! and I know you guys like pics...........John

"or best offer".......best offer might be free and it might be worth that....

I just found a new smart phone app for photobucket.....some of you may already know this but the app allows you to send pics from your phone directly to photobucket........so here is the test, a coupe pics from last week..........if this works the app is called snapbucket and you can have the link s...

Thanks Lawman, I was beginning to wonder if I was going to get any responses. YES, the new (and old) motor are both running great......other than some very minor cosmetic projects my list is clear!! Was out twice last week and am going out tomorrow.......stripers (rock fish to you easterners) are ru...

I have been following the prop/performance threads and have began to wonder if Time Warp is propped correctly. Seems from what I've read about bigger boats with smaller engines that maybe I should have better cruise performance at lower RPM. Here's the specs: * Engines: 2000 TB merc 350's. port dyno...

On my 30' Sea Raider the shower pan is about 2X2, water supply is a hand held shower head you attach to the sink faucet........I'm 6'4" and found the whole setup a major pain. The head is about 2.5 feet by 3.5 feet, the shower was on the entry end......I took the shower curtain out and do fine ...

WOW! and WOW!......she's looking great!. You've done a lot in a short time, great job!!

Very Nice!!

WOW Doug......thanks for that perspective....makes the rest of us feel better.......I fueled 2 days ago and paid $5.78 gal for premium on the water....still managed over 25 hrs so far. Keep in mind that I boat year around, but much less in the winter. In the Sacramento delta area fall is the best bo...

I run my 350's at 3200 and cruise at around 18-20 knots.......it seems to be the sweet spot........John

Very Nice! looks like a late 50's Dorset.......Had an uncle that had something very similar....tight quarters for 2 guys fishing...............John

Hi All, Thanks for the input. Based on these responses I'll use either 15-40 or 30wt, with or without an additive.... :D Seriously, thanks. Think I'll go with the 15-40 weight. Each engine takes almost 8 qts with the double oil filter setup so the investment is significant in both oil and filters......
