    Lake Erie extreme weather event

    That means that The Ottawa river will have no water in it. I remember a newspaper article back in the ( I believe in the fall) of 1962 where there was only a small stream. The water in that area is only about 4ft. Thanks for the heads up, Doc.

    Looking for vent covers Chaparral ‘07 236 SSI

    I would focus on the south eastern seaboard if it were me. I think that they have more weather related salvage for what you are looking for. You could ask the ones that you call about networking. One of the things that will help is the number of years they fit and what models they fit. That will...

    Your girl is 18 and I think your only choice is to look into boat junk yards. Or maybe an add on ebay or craigs list. Do you know what years they fit.? Last choice is to get creative.

    Number of Blue wing nuts for Merc Cruiser water drainage

    I found this on the net. Hope it helps. A 2000 Mercruiser 5.0 EFI typically has five blue drain plugs used for winterizing the engine. These are located on the engine block (two on each side) and one on the front of the engine near the fuel filter. It's highly recommended to remove them during...
