Grayish white smoke usually means uncombusted fuel. Usually caused by injectors not flowing properly. I smells different also if that's the...
I looked into a similar set up a couple of years ago without the solar. Needed about 600 AH for running refrigeration without air conditioning....
"Hello, wondering why there are not more large boats with outboards: 50’+". I think there are lots of them. At least in the 50 ft range. Went...
Hopefully this is not high jacking, but I want to paint my current teak ladderback on the helm chair. Probably Alexseal or Awlgrip. Do I have to...
