If it's worth doing, it's worth going overboard!

I installed two of them on a 43'. I'm not even sure why. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I have a T-top kit I purchased in 2013 for my center console. I realized it was going to take significant modification to fit my center console and since then I got a bimini top that works fine for a shady spot on the boat to eat lunch. It is basically a bunch of aluminum tubes, fittings and a...

I love my Logic/Triumph 12' plastic roto-molded tender. Weighs nothing, is indestructible and is rated up to 25hp. I paid $1450 for mine as it sits here with a 15hp Johnson 2-stroke. I believe they all come with center consoles now.

This is either going in the trash or the mail for the cost of shipping. Outside dimensions 19-1/2" x 4-1/2".

The Isotemp comes with a mixing valve to temper the hot water from the coolant loop. Here's a snap shot of heater loop plumbing for a 671.

Yes, water pressure regulator. I didn't realize I had one when I added one. I'm pretty sure this one isn't working.

I think it's way too much water for that. I've got notches in the rail, but I still need to make Starboard diverters. It still won't get all of it, but I'll settle for most of it. When waves are breaking over the bow, forget it.

On the subject of the heat exchanger loop, it took me awhile to find this here, so this is to bring it back to the top. It's a diagram of where to plumb the water lines for 671's from Johnson & Towers.

A couple of places I've been spending time.

The photo below is when I was still sorting out the installation of a shunt for a battery monitor, which you can see on the right, and I was still working out the cabling. You can see a double fuse block on the positive terminal. There are two 4/0 cables with no fusing at the battery. One...

Speaking of clamps, I found two like this on my exhaust the other day. I am amazed that I'm still finding stuff like this.

I discovered a fairly rapid oil leak from one of the oil hoses going between the oil filter housing and the block of about a drop per second or more while running on the starboard 671N. It appears to be coming from the fitting rather than the threads. I have two questions. Where would I get a...
