    Power loading is the only way IMHO. But, the time will come when LARGE SIGNS are posted,” NO POWER LOADING” . $100.00 fine.. Time for a long rope.

    To your first question, Inside the heater chamber, there are controls that have doors or flaps. These direct airflow for various functions. Heat/cold.
    My 97′ caravan had the same problem. Heat on driver side, ice cold on rider side. Those doors/flaps cost $1,500 to replace. The whole dash comes out of van to get at the problem. good luck

    Hi As being a retired college welding teacher (33 yrs), I have several do’s and don’ts. 1. Is there any welding anywhere on that boat, if there is, then it should be ok to weld that hull.. 2. Being there is a crack next to that welded area, that indicates a NO WELD option. Alloys in the aluminum allow it to be heat treated, then tempered to increase the strength of the metal. Welding that heat treated aluminum destroys the alloys and heat treatment. In turn, that causes cracks a-long side the welds.. If there are any rivets anywhere on the boat, don’t weld, only patch with rivets.. Good luck

    That show did not uncover all the problems. Its much worse 90% worse. Boat under the bridge a normal pool levels and the rebar on the supports will snag your boat if you get to close.. and rusted out steel beams everywhere. jm2c

    Here’s a watch out on welding
    If the hull is riveted on all seams and no welding anywhere, the boat has alloy aluminum for higher strength. When you try welding, the welding destroys the aluminum and it will crack, just like in the photo. Repairing with a patch, sealant and rivets will do the trick.. my background .. 33 yrs college level teaching of all metals.. good luck

    If there’s an intersection needing a complete work-over, 61/20/50 is the one. Make it into a 4 way stop with LIGHTS.. Have had too many close calls there… just my $.02

    try this
    Start motor for several seconds. Shut it off. Carefully feel each plug, the cold one is the dead cylinder. Could be a bad plug. Good luck

    Be very careful, check with manufacture first..If hull has welded areas, it should be ok. But if there’s rivets, it could be a non-weldable, heat-treated alloy aluminum. Just a heads up. Good Luck

    High demand for a place to stay = inflated prices… Went by Sturgis, S.D. during bike week. $400.00 per person in a room, any room.. After bike week $50.00 for 4 to stay go figure.
