Re: Stock Market
Nobody can tell you when to sell AMC but if I had it I'd be looking to sell tomorrow. At least sell 1/2. I would look for a reversal on the 30 minute chart maybe. I don't trade these 'meme' stocks but know they don't necessarily play by the rules as far as charting goes. Good luck!

Re: Can you tell me what this line is for?
same set up also but no pump would run the hose through the boat drain plug unscrew and would just drain the oil

Re: Can you tell me what this line is for?
It is an engine oil drain connected to the bottom of the oilpan. I've never seen it used on a Rinker, but some boats have the drain connected to a plug in the transom for easier out-of-water oil changes.

Re: What steps do you take to start up/clean your water system?
When I used to use antifreeze in my water system, I would just fill the tank 1/4 of the way with fresh water and run out at a sink. I would do that 4 or 5 times to really clear it out. Our dock water is pretty good though and I use the camco spigot filters too. Now that I use air to winterize the water system, I dont really do that since I leave the tank empty and the city connection flushes the lines.
Whenever I put water in the tank I use this. Walmart and Menards has it and it keeps the tank water fresh for weeks. Every 3 weeks I take a long shower with whatever is in the tank to use it up and re fill.:

Re: Hardin Marine stainless steel replacement for Merc seawater pump
Eight years ago, the concept was that Hardin's pump would be a "forever" pump. Unlike the OEM pump, which gets trashed when there's too much wear, Hardin's pump has replaceable wear plates.
Now that they've had thousands of pumps in service for up to eight years, what we're seeing is that the bearings fail after 150-250 hours. The pump is still a forever pump, but now we know the service life of the bearings.
Hardin's newer "Plus" pump was redesigned with much bigger bearings that should last much longer.

Re: Hardin Marine stainless steel replacement for Merc seawater pump
This thread makes me disappointed in Hardin’s product. I thought their pumps were supposed to be better than the originals?
