I used to make the tabs out of fiberglass packing tape. Laminate 2 pieces together with the threads running perpendicular to each other then cut out the shape with scissors and stick it on the hook....

Great cranks and superior customer service. I have never even had to tune an Arkie.

Brake clean is a good substitute for contact cleaner. Water dispersants are oil and you want the inside of an electric motor clean and dry. Remember the brush/commutator sparks and oil in that area...

It sounds like it is running lean. Too much air or not enough fuel. Check your fuel filter. Check compression on both cylinders since you got it in this condition. The fuel pump is vacuum operated....

If the commutator is black, use some fine emery cloth to polish it. Just wrap some around it, grip it and spin it in your hand a couple times. It will come out bright and shiny like new. Then a...

Thank you. Those are absolutely beautiful.

Is that a special plastic you use for the stencils?

Breaker reset? Does the prop turn freely? If that is good, test for power after the switch.

Neat idea. what kind of plastic do you use?

Seems to have good reviews for what it is, an entry level kayak. Viper 10.4 Kayak by Viper Kayaks - Kayak Reviews

A complete guess. Buried hard layer of some type.

OK that makes sense. My FF is a Lowrance Elite 4 Chirp(2d/DI) set up in my 14' yak. I have the transducer mounted in the front and I sit in the back. The idea being I see something on screen and by...

Thanks CP. I guess I was on the right track of tossing a weighted line out each side and dragging for the structure.

I know that the cone on DI is wide(side to side) but narrow front to back. The question is how do you tell if what is displayed on screen is directly under you or off to one side?

Did you find what caused the damage?

Where's the confusion? Fillet 'em and fry 'em.

I wear my auto all the time, otherwise I might have to trust one of you gubers to save my life. The only thing I didnt like is the belly strap goes across the belly instead of under my gut. I added a...

Agreed, but put a CAT bolt side by side to almost any other readily available bolt and there is a clear winner.
My favorite jobs were when I was called on to do failure analysis on low hour...

Most of the cordless that are lithium powered use 18650 cells. Same with laptops. Crack open the battery case and replace the cells. It is much cheaper than buying a new battery pack and lets face...

Lard crisps and browns better so you can use it a slightly lower temps. If the fryer is large enough you dont drop the temp when the fish goes in, 350 gives a crisp golden fry without going oily or...

The aquarium will be easier to use and oxygenate but either is fine. You can skip the bubbler. Just drop the return water from above so it splashes a bit. Almost all gas exchange is done at the...

Portable for everything CP said and transporting fish from boat to the cleaning station.

British Wentworth. What a PIA. They were poor fitting fasteners to begin with. During a rebuild on my Rocket 3, I drilled, helicoiled, and replaced everything with metric. It stayed much tighter, and...

Oil related problems normally boil down to 1 of 3 things. Insufficient oil level, contaminated oil(water), or breakdown of the additive package. Any automotive oil in the correct viscosity with an...

Loctite does not cause corrosion. It actually prevents it. Nuts and bolts are designed with a certain amount of clearance which is called thread depth engagement. There are fancy formulas to...

Unless you can get undersize bearings, the crank will need to be welded and ground. Even with undersize bearings, the crank will still need ground. Not much difference in price either way. Its been a...

I am with scrapper on the nuts. Nylock nuts tend to loosen over time as the nylon ages. Esna all metal lock nuts work better.

Note: locking hardware is intended for single use, no matter if it is...

Good mess you got. They seem to scattered at different depths now. Sounds like you you had fun on your birthday. Great report, thanks.

I must be the only one envying the closest fishing is a mower ride away. :D
