I was recently reminded that you do not under any circumstances trust anyone and / or take thier word for anything. I bought a used boat with a 1975 Merc 20 hp motor on it. He told me that it started and ran fine, but there was something wrong with it that robbed it of a few horse power. Well, I took it to a shop and was told that the lower crank case seal is out of it, thus not letting the bottom cylender fire at all. He said it is quite a job to replace this seal, big enough that he did not have time to take it on right now.
So my two fold question is: Is this worth me fixing? The motor is in GREAT shape, not a scratch on it, starts very easily, great spark and compression, and idles well on the one cylender.
If I chose to sell it or trade it in on something else, what is it worth?
This the the fist boat I have ever owned, so any advice is VERY much appreciated.
there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
We get eggs from locals who have chickens. The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it. Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.
Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store. Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences. I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago. Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.
