Re: Overcharging alternator
An alternator will work in either direction, but some cooling fans are designed to operate in only one direction. Typically marine alternators have cooling fans designed to operate in either direction. Ever wonder why the fan blades on your car's alternator are all big on one side and small on the o...

28 Express Hardtop Only
What's the value of a 28 Express Hardtop? Not the whole boat, just the actual top. I have two to sell, one already removed and primed (74) and the other soon (86), and need to price them both.

Re: Brand new Big M owner here...questions about trailering...

Re: Brand new Big M owner here...questions about trailering...
I just towed my new-to-me 85 32-Fisherman 400 miles from Ashtabula, Ohio to the Chesapeake Bay. I used two 4" straps forward and aft to hold her down secure to the trailer, and two 2" straps to prevent any movement aft, one from the forward cleats angled forward to the trailer and one abov...

Re: Any PC Experts Out There?
Did you check the keyboard mapping for the game? NOt likely to be used in-game, but maybe they changed something?

Re: New Boater, New to me Marinette.
Do you have the metal track for the sliding windows? If you have the plastic it is probably ruined by the UV. So you have to find something. Hard to find the metal, but worth it if you can find it. I would start looking for that so it is not a hold up later. Everything else is just money and man ho...

I have a page on FB for the restoration and I'd like to invite you all there to follow along and the link is in my signature. I thought about doing a bl...
