DON'T EXPECT MUCH LOWER FUEL PRICES

While we are enjoying temp. lower fuel prices for our cars... do not get too excited. I know the E.P.A. is forcing many marinas to dig up their tanks and all tanks now must be above ground and a specified distance from the water. This is a huge expense for the marina operators. I doubt any will be w...

Re: Forum and Facebook

I am with you Jeff. I registered but while it works for some... I prefer to respond to questions etc. on this forum. So do not take it personal if I also do not respond to facebook. I check it maybe once a month.

Re: Air Conditioning

You might find that an AC unit that would fit in the hatch... Cruise N Carry comes to mind is too small to do the job in most our Ms

If you are in a covered slip a small unit would help.

Most our Ms require a min. of 14K=16K btu units.


safe harbors,

Re: Forum and Facebook

I concur! I am several other Facebook sites and personally they do not work well for me. I like the detailed archived posts on the forums. Facebook has its place for general pic posting and chat. Good for finding friends but my focus is on Marinettes and all the knowledge and experience from the mem...

Re: Winterizing Chrysler engines on the hard- raw water syst

Yes there is a difference between Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol . Ethylene Glycol is what is in almost all our autos and trucks. It can be Green, Blue or Yellow. (do not relay on color as to what type it is.) Propylene Glycol is less toxic and is considered more pet friendly. (It only takes a...

Re: Pertronix Distributor Test

Looks like we have two alternatives that work well. Will be interesting to see your corrosion results on the Mallory's.

If you can post the model number of the Distributor you are using.

The Pertronix is listed as a Chrysler Marine Billet I think?

They were reported and the fines and cleanup costs were significant. In the old days we just drained ...
