Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Is that 1/2" or 3/4? Wondering if thicker would help in this situation. I get the feeling this would be noticeable, but Menards sells 4x8 sheets of the stuff, so for what seems to be the "typical" cost of smaller pieces of starboard, when the time comes, I may want to consider a whole re-do, since it seems like a trace-and-cut operation.
The dogs don’t want to go out in this and neither do I! I know it is still March in Vt., but the ground has thawed and I gotta plow 8” and drive to work. I mean boating season has started for a few here.
This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just fiddly. Still dumb you have to take the intake off to replace the spark plugs. However, they were toast! Probably should have been done a while ago, but this was the exact interval to be done.

Jeep, it's my wife's wrangler. My lifters have been quiet so far. It has sounded the same since day one. The injectors are loud on this thing, which always has me thinking "wait is that a lifter?". The lifters generally change frequency when you press on the gas, it stays the same. So fingers crossed it stays that way. I change the oil every 4-5k miles.

LOLOL! I wiped it down, but didn't include that pic. The whole jeep needs to be properly detailed again. Could use a good polish and new ceramic coating. This poor thing is put through its paces since it's my wife's. Recently I pulled the whole interior out to clean it, it was so filthy and just couldn't get it clean enough with the seats and stuff in it.
