Stus-List Hydrolocked!

Good news! I was able to resolve the hydrolock with no apparent ill effect on the engine!   It was quite an easy fix as well, didn't even need to mess with the injectors. Here's what I did, following a suggestion of someone on this thread: I disconnected the exhaust hose from the manifold and

I’ll have to agree with go biggest or smallest opinion. Personally, I have an 8’ inflatable and use a Honda 2hp that is perfect for my needs. For long trips, I would prefer a bigger engine but the little suits my usage very well. A note on Honda’s, the carb is much more sensitive to trash in

Stus-List Dirty work this week.

Crap! The recent strong rains and a strong easterly wind has raised the water level in Lake Pontchartrain and in my marina. Caught me by surprise. I monitor a water gauge near the marina. At 2.5 feet, the water is level with the pier. It got to 4.4 and is currently at 3.6. It was about 2 feet

Re: Stus-List Vodka for Hot water tank

If the tank is empty for all but a small bit at the bottom, and (this is critical) no pipes still have or will have water in them, and all valves are open, then you should be ok. A shop vac is your friend when it comes to making sure that lines are dried out. Works wonders for that last bit in

Waste of good liquor. Like Andrew said, might damage something. Lots of substances will lower the freezing point of water. Salt will take it down to -6F if fully saturated. Dennis C. On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 7:20 PM, John Russo via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Any downside to

Re: Stus-List Vodka for Hot water tank

Problems that you can experience with any type of antifreeze are dilution and stratification. Dilution happens as a result of not getting all the water out of the system first. Stratification happens as a result of numerous freeze/thaw cycles. Both of these conditions will allow freezing in the

Re: Stus-List outboard size

Mike, We used a +- 2 hp on an 10” high pressure floor inflatable around the PNW for years. The ability to lift it on and off one handed was the best part. With two or three people onboard it was a bit slow for me. Once, the 2hp outboard was not able to pull a long stern tie line ashore

The line stripper, which is neither round nor concentric, is a more difficult part to make. Stainless steel is the most unforgiving of all metals to machine in my experience. It varies with the alloy I suppose, but it can be very easy to work harden the surface. Anything but the sharpest
