Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor
Motor pretty much required at the busy launch that we typically use, which has a fairly tight little quay and sometimes a line of boats waiting to be recovered. Once I have a fathometer installed, I want to try the launch at the back of our neighborhood, which is on a shallow creek with narrow channel. I ended up getting some proper marine grade 6 gauge cable at West Marine, and then made a crude junction block just inside the hull. Looks very clean, but will take a little more time to take the motor off now. 6 gauge really is too heavy, I will replace with 8 gauge next time. This boat had been in outside storage for about four years, and it was filthy inside and out, but several days of cleaning fixed that. I also replaced both the main halyard and the jib halyard, playing bosun' mate for a day, whipping the ends of the lines with needle and heavy carpet thread. Never did put the boat in the water as entire family came up on the binnacle list (sick list for you land lubbers) Monday so we just took it easy around the house. I blame my daughter - she brought home some new bugs from her pre-school which started last week (take note Donald, more joys of parenthood to look forward to :) ). -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of OK Don Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 8:17 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor Sailboat?

[MBZ] O/T FLAPS
I've been using AMAZON to source parts lately with very good results.
My NEW starter {Made in China} for my PowerChoke was $97 + $12 shipping. That
was a very good price! The starter works fine, even had a printout of it's
current draw and other information.

Re: [MBZ] Virus attack on the Information minister
I work with folks who do nothing but computers, and they endorse the Microsoft versions for computer security (Windows Firewall, Windows Defender) among others. Free, and don't slow down your Windows operating system nearly as much as the paid products. My personal theory is that majority of malware is written by the same folks who sell the antivirus software, which maintains full employment in that industry. MS, on the other hand, already has your money and distro's the security software for free. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Van Knutson Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2010 8:38 AM To: mercedes okiebenz Subject: [MBZ] Virus attack on the Information minister My computer was attacked over the weekend by the most tenacious malware I have seen to date. It locks down your computer--you can't open docurment, video, IE, nothing--telling you your computer is infected and tries to direct you to a fake antivirus site where if you buy their fake antivirus software they will fix the problem they caused to begin with. They wanted $49.95! Just pure extortion. I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall useless Windows. I had legit antivirus security (Shield Deluxe), but it was obviously defeated. After reinstalling, I now have no internet or sound--have to install drivers. I am typing this from work :). I will be shlepping my CPU to Todd's house to work on installing drivers so I can get my computer back the way it used to be. grr. Anyway, it is my intent to audition yet another antivirus program. My first program was compromised--Zone Alarm, and now my second one--Shield Deluxe Pro--went down as well. Any suggestions out there? I seem to get 6 months to a year out of a security suite before it gets penetrated. Is this acceptable loss, as they say in the military? I understand this version of ransomware is a particularly bad one. I have about 200 days left on my Shield license but I am going to move on. It has already been found wanting. I looked up antivirus reviews on PC mag and CNET and the general consensus is BitDefinder and Norton, which--according to them--has repaired its subpar reputation in the last two yrs to become a very good system Thoughts? I have no antivirus software on board at the moment which will not be an issue until I get my internet connectivity back.

I know the 3.0 litre engine is the same size, but I wasn't sure if the battery, and battery shelf in both cars are the same? Their files showed a case size #48 for the S Class. Same for the E Class ? Anyone know of anything to watch out for with the previous generation of E Class sedans? Can't remember the code name. From 2000 or something, to 2009. I know rust was an issue with many.

Re: [MBZ] 2 quick questions ??
Battery should be the same size. As for what to look out for, the usual: Bad AC, worn out links in the rear, worn out steering (pretty much a given above 170k miles), bad tranny. Inspect the upper spring mounts for rust, will require using a lift. If any present, pass. Having a spring mount fail on the highway is not a fun thing to do.

Once I have a fathometer installed, I want to try the launch at the back of our neighborhood, which is on a shallow creek with narrow channel. I ended up getting some proper marine grade 6 gauge cable at West Marine, and then made a crude junction block just inside the hull. Looks very clean, but will take a little more time to take the motor off now. 6 gauge really is too heavy, I will replace with 8 gauge next time. This boat had been in outside storage for about four years, and it was filthy inside and out, but several days of cleaning fixed that. I also replaced both the main halyard and the jib halyard, playing bosun' mate for a day, whipping the ends of the lines with needle and heavy carpet thread. Never did put the boat in the water as entire family came up on the binnacle list (sick list for you land lubbers) Monday so we just took it easy around the house. I blame my daughter - she brought home some new bugs from her pre-school which started last week (take note Donald, more joys of parenthood to look forward to :) ). -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of OK Don Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 8:17 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor Sailboat?

Re: [MBZ] W211
Thanks for the info and what to watch out for. I really enjoy cars, but more of my pleasure these days is derived from messing about cleaning them, than laying under them and fixing them. I enjoying tinkering, but the days of spending the weekends working on a car, so that I can drive it during the week are quickly passing. I've always wanted one nice daily drive, one hobby car, and I would allow myself one motorcycle. I have reliable daily transport, but I would like to make that a Mercedes. I have the hobby car covered. As for the bike, it's something I think about, but the reality of it is, I will probably allow it to remain a fantasy. When I do dream, it's now usually about something that's old and British, that leaks oil, rather than the latest Ducati. Mind you, a nice BMW would look nice next to the hobby car. :-) Thanks again.

[MBZ] I'm selling my 1982 Mercedes Benz 300 TD wagon.
I am selling my parents 300 TD wagon because I need money for school (yes, they know I'm selling it). It is a 1982 Mercedes Benz 300TD diesel wagon. The car has around 350,000 miles (the odometer broke around 300,000). It has a few issues; - The rear leveling system does not work - The a/c does not work - The dash has some cracks in it - It has small surface rust spots fro rocks hitting it. The paint is original, but it's not flaking. If you have more questions about the car, please call me, text me, or send me an email. The car is located in Grayson, GA (a suburb on the NE side of Atlanta) Like I said, I am selling this car for money to go to college. So, I need to sell this car in the next week or two. -Keith 678-480-8437 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
