Ancient and defunct. The fellow who launched it became ill, unable to continue with the project

Boat US strongly recommends using marelon. At the same time, I recall my nearly 20 yr old bronze seacocks were in good shape (although I did not undertake anything like a scrape test to check - only eyeballing). I would think you could buy any reasonable size to match the hose you are using, one tha...

So, a properly supervised high school kid could do the job if you are not able to get under the boat and start rolling (an...

WHat you are thinking about sounds interesting. But I wonder why Chrysler didn't recommend that practice in their engine manuals.
