    2021 275 SD - Fogging Engines for 5 month Winterization

    Not sure where you got the idea that fuel injection motors are sealed. Moist air can very easily enter the cylinder through the intake and exhaust via open and partially open valves same as a carbureted engine - can cause corrosion on both cyclinders and valves. The benefits of fogging can...

    2021 275 SD - Fogging Engines for 5 month Winterization

    What's been said... - spray some fogging oil in all the cylinders - pull the lanyard - crank the engine(s) over for a few seconds to slosh some oil around and hopefully up into the valves - put the old spark plugs back in - change the plugs after the first tank of gas in the spring I do make...

    Pay attention and hold onto your checking account

    Yeah I'm like @biffdotorg - Not sure if it is a reasonable solution for a business but for my personal use I attach all my "cash/money" apps to a checking account that only has $10 in it (its setup specifically for this reason). When I need to send money via an app, I just quickly (via bank...

    The Vaccine

    And when giving awards doesn't work as an incentive, we could always threaten to kick them out from making contributions to the forum unless they do. :winkingthumbsup" What's the saying...? Life imitates Comedy?... oh, no that's art... never mind. ?

    The Vaccine

    It doesn't concern me that they left them out of the chart, my concern is stating conclusions like 14x risk of death for unvaccinated while leaving out a large data set of unvaccinated and it typically being a set of data that has a very low death percentage. I'm not jumping all over this...

    The Vaccine

    To interpret the data this way that is so skewed by the elderly and also leaving out all data of those under 18. Just because under 18 can't and/or haven't got the vaccine resulting in lower vax numbers doesn't mean they aren't still part of the unvaccinated data set when making a conclusion...

    The Vaccine

    Not trying to piss on your contribution of data that is interesting, but don't you think statements like "In September unvaccinated persons had a 14X risk of dying" is misleading at best and the spread of misinformation at worse. You can't clump data from 18-80+ and make a statement about all...

    The Vaccine

    No matter how this plays out, in the spirit of the fast approaching Thanks Giving day, I'm thankful that in America, there is a way to challenge the White House / Government, that there are still those willing to challenge, and that this is being challenged. We all will fall on different sides...

    The Vaccine

    I respect that opinion and see how you get there but I've become a bit more jaded than you. In my opinion this wasn't a "lazy way out" this was purposeful because they could get away with it. With OSHA they couldn't get away with it. With OSHA it gets stickier, what are they going to do...

    Yet another mandate "based on science" forcing a friend of mine to get vaccinated to protect his coworkers as a remote worker 4 states away. :winkingthumbsup" Its like the sports mandates my son and his friends had to follow - they could sweat, rub, tackle all over each other but "based on...

    Winterization ?

    Yep what @David Martin said - its hard on the sensors in the intake. To expand on this, I think attempting to get some fogging oil sloshed up on the valves is beneficial too so I always pull the lanyard and turn the engine over a few times after spraying the cylinders. And I'll further note...

    The Vaccine

    Yep, had a friend that found this out too. Which re-enforces how much this is a plain and simple power grab/overreach and nothing to do with keeping employees safe at work... they aren't even "at work".

    You are probably right, I still like to see states standing up like this though. I see like a protest which like any protest is sometimes the best option you have to bring attention to the issue you are unhappy and disagree with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    To fog or not to fog cylinders for 5 month winter storage?

    If its going to sit for more than a couple months I'd fog - so easy to do it, so why not. The only issues that arise from fogging is sometimes the fogging oil can mess up the sensors in the intake. I stopped spraying fogging oil in the intake few years ago for this reason. Now I just take the...

    A little help for a newbie

    From what you are saying I'd say you have no worries. Like others said, you probably sucked up some small item that eventually blew through. As far as the back of the boat being lower, can't say, but I do know sometimes we don't really realize how something looks or feels until there is a...

    Considering boat with structural hull repair

    I agree with those saying its suspect because of the quality of the repair. A good fiberglass shop would have repaired that so that you would not have any clue there was previous damage, it would have looked brand new - also it would be just as or more structurally sound than before...

    Just wow... - do you ever read or try to understand the post before you comment?? I didn't say they are OCD, I likened it to the crippling affect that OCD has on people that have OCD. And this is just straw man argument that you are oh so good at that has nothing to do with my point. Either...

    The Vaccine

    I certainly don't criticize them, I feel sorry for them. If the messaging that has been impressed on them that they should fear for their health while enjoying a walk outside by themselves than that is terrible, and I just feel really bad that it has come to that for some people. If it is for...

    The Vaccine

    Sorry I'm a little rant-y today. Saw more than one person today walking outside by themselves with masks on. Come on - where does this messaging come from. This strikes me as mentally unhealthy/crippling as someone with OCD compulsively washing their hands every 10 mins. But better believe...

    The Vaccine

    Another way to say this is - it is not worth upsetting them because the way mask usage is implemented across the board is not that effective anyway.
