Stus-List keel bolt nut

I need to replace my mast grounding wire with 4 AWG (according to my surveyor). It appears to connect at one end to the aluminum base plate of the mast and that nut is accessible and a new cable can be attached with a lug. I have not yet found the other end. Could it be under the keel bolt? I

Re: Stus-List Not C & C but boat related...Trophys

I don’t have many on my shelf, but my favorite has always been the acrylic boat model trophies. I am not a fan of traditional mugs and glasses. I like the fact that these actually looks like a boat and can be somewhat tailored to the actual class the award is for, and the engraving can be

Re: Stus-List Plumbing help

A second on Sharkbite. I used them for the first time on a home plumbing project last weekend and they worked perfectly. I had to disassemble some older fittings, which came apart easily even without the special tool (adjustable wrench trick on YouTube). Cut Pex with hacksaw rather than

Stus-List Engine idle speed

All this discussion of engine (Universal M4-30) starting has reminded me of something I want to do in the spring, but am not sure how to approach. My engine runs fine at idle, which is around 1000rpm (don’t remember exactly what gauge reads). If I shift into reverse it almost always stalls.
