When you parallel two batteries you basically turn them into one larger battery of the same voltage. So putting them in parallel and then hooking...
X2 for GOST. I installed one of these systems two years ago and happy with it. They are customizable to as much or as little as you want. Not...
I’ve never seen a keel cooler with a drain on the exterior cooler itself. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one, I’ve just never seen one. They are...
I think the older engines are more an issue of availability of parts and service. For diy folks some of the older mechanical diesels are great and...

TX to FL is quite the shake down cruise :) Congrats on the purchase!
Great story, thanks for sharing. Nice to hear a happy ending for a change!

Yes, I get the concept. Sounds like someone perhaps feels threatened by the name and that the royalties would not offset perceived losses in...
Thanks for posting. Glad they went to a good home and a great project. You got a smokin' deal on a very good condition set of engines and gears...
