I found these https://www.pacergroup.net/bullet-connectors/ . I could put the male on the 18 and female on the 16 and heat shrink over the entire connection. Yes, I see that would work, but if you were to remove your outer covering of heat shrink, and re-assemble it all according to color codes, th...

The correct answer is a reference to "circular mil area" That is, the diameter of a wire has a cross section area, and that said cross section area has a correct size crimp for that. In order to crimp a small wire into a larger crimp barrel, the easiest and most common, is to add filler wire to the ...

I looked at some pictures online, and it appears that chevy V6 and V8 have the oil filter on left side, low, next to bellhousing.
likely you can unbolt the (relocated) filter, and re-mount it anyplace convenient for you.

I am not 100% sure, but that sounds like that IS a relocation kit already installed.
I have never heard of a chevy (GM) engine with oil filter on top.
Does that by chance have a filter adapter plate, with hoses leading down to a low side of the block, with a adapter in lieu of original filter?

Whoaaa, NO, no. You size the prop such that WOT rpm is held in check by prop size. you have a too small a prop right now. you need bigger prop not smaller; if the engine is rated at 6000rpm, then you size the prop such that you do not exceed 6000 because of the size of the prop. Bill, the clutch sho...

Hi,
you say that with either prop, you are at 6000rpm,
is that 6000rpm a WOT (wide open throttle) number, or is that different from a WOT?

and at 6000rpm what is the speed difference between the props?

in the pictures your setup looks like it should run ok

If, you have a 14" saw with 4 speeds, and compare that to a 9" saw with 1 speed:
then the 9" saw will look like a toy..........

Oh wow. One of those locks is the BIG lift, a 100foot lift lock.
Wilson or, Wheeler?
We want pics of that.

Wow!
If you are through Pickwick, then you are at the top of the Tenn-Tom, correct?
Your making good time.

I have to assume Murphy's law here,
If you drove up to get your trailer, to make a portage, the good weather would come in while you are driving your truck !!!

Right now the looper boats are kinda bunched up because everyone had to get through the Illinois River locks before they closed for 2+ weeks. We were one of the last boats to go through those locks before they closed. They will reopen the first week of October and there are several boats waiting in...

Nice, keep the pics coming

All of my experiences in shallow water are not good. The shallow water lends itself to choppy waves. No swells at all, just chop. A bad ride.
What do the other loopers say about waiting for wind out of the North or NW for that part of passage?

The ICW is protected from Mobile Bay to Apalachicola. Bill I just did a quick and dirty look at a trip from Apalchicola to Tampa Bay, I got 200 miles on google earth. If he is making 6 knots, then that is on the order of 28 hours. If you beak it up in 2 sections, I got 125 miles, and 100 miles resp...

I would devote time to a correct strut,
If the fat adjustable strut is disturbing water flow to the prop, then no prop will breathe correctly.
The faster you go, the more this will matter.
