could always call nettle's props.
I don't think you could screw mine up. The bottom half goes over the stock pylon, and the pin goes through it. Then the top half fits on, and you ratchet down the forestay. Done.
Drier sheets, mothballs, and mouse poison are usually what I use. Mothballs in plastic bags with holes poked in them helps keep the balls from discoloring anything they happen to be sitting on.
functional, but in the end i mostly set it where I like it an leave it there. I used to trim the nose down a hair to help avoid porpoising at high speeds and then back up for wakeboarding, but the...
The battery tray water thing happens to me sometimes, I think it happens when water (rain usually) gets in the bow louvers and runs down the carpet into the tray.
likewise. my original black foamy deck stuff is in rough shape.
you could use 3/8 and double it up around the edges... In general under about 1/2 inch HDPE is pretty bendy.
Just went over to Nettle's for a new prop. Turns out JT lives in my neighborhood. Weird, huh?
I was out on lake austin on sunday, got in a couple hours of wakeboarding and skiing around noon. There were more boats out than I expected, but I only saw about a half dozen other people IN the...
taco, this is what I was looking at:

I'll check into the...
Hi guys, my swim platform padding (and also the padding up on the bow) of my 87 comp are totally degraded, and leave super annoying black goo on everything. Time to replace! I've been looking at...
I haven't seen many forward-swept towers on older boats before, I think it looks pretty good, and it's kind of nice not to have all that extra tubing up front. I'm interested to hear how it...
i have an 87 comp with an 800 hour-old 351 and the original 13x13 with a few nicks on the trailing edge, and it easily gets people out of the water, even with a boat full of people. A prop will...
I used lenco electronic trim tab actuators to make my wake plate adjustable. Turns out all I ever really do is put it in the full-up position and leave it there.
kind-of twins...

I really wanted an old 351w blazer, but most of the ones I could find around here are seriously mistreated, and a...
I'd really like to pick up a wake skate. A couple years ago we started riding an old wakeboard with the bindings removed as a low-key "i'm too beat up to wakeboard hard anymore today, but I still...
I strap mine down, it looks more or less like gogger's, but without the nice buckles. And I don't unplug my wiring.
Ha, I think that might be my picture. IIRC that board controls the warning lights and buzzers, and is known to go bad. Mine is unplugged. All the gauges work fine, but the warning lights and...
I haven't seen one in person yet, but from the pics it just looks like a slightly big trim tab mounted sideways. Seems like that'd be a pretty easy thing to try, if you really wanted to.

Great, thanks!
that answers a question i've wondered about for a while. Assuming no unusual blockages, you won't fill the cylinders with water if you pump water through the engine while it isn't running? I've...
I found this particular writeup on a chevelle forum:
I think I can get the CJ Delo 15-40 at work, so maybe I'll try that...
Ok, so I tried to search, but "oil" is too short a search term, so hopefully this hasn't been discussed to death already.
Anyway, I know I'm supposed to use a "high zinc content" oil to protect...
This thread has been a good read. I'm thinking that especially now that I live in texas, I can probably get away with draining the block in the "winter" months, and not bother with antifreeze. That...
I wussed out and winterized last weekend. All it costs me to put it back in running shape is 20 minutes or so, so if it gets warm and I want to use it I still can. If I kept the boat at my house...
