There's one of those in our marina here in Hampton Beach. The people in it are not homeless, they just enjoy living on the water half the year. I've been in it and it's actually a really cool "tiny...

1500 hours is pretty easy to achieve on an outboard if maintained well. If you prop it for max RPM at WOT with a typical load on the boat, and then run it at or below 75% max RPM, it can last way...

I strongly urge you to replace the tensioner pulley and idler pulley while you have the belt off. You can use generic parts from an auto parts store. I also recommend that you keep the old belt and...

Always loved that place, it's beautiful.
There's a similar structure called the Boldt Yacht House in Alexandria Bay, NY/1000 Islands (an easy and pretty 7ish hour drive from Winni) that's still in...

Mantus makes a great product. We have one of their swivels and one of their snubber chain hooks. We run a 73# Rocna Vulcan that's very similar to a Mantus M2 and we love it. We've spent at least 180...
