So how big of a coward is Yahya Sinwar actually?

Posted by subMOA on 5/6/24 at 6:55 am

The guy does one of the greatest FAFOs in world history. Now, he’s hiding underground with hostages used as human shields to protect him. All while his “people” and their homes are turned into dust. Absolutely amazing behavior to me. ...

It’s very likely something came unplugged- the last time I ran it was on the Tenn-Tom waterway on the wet test and then I towed it 400 miles down here. You are 100%- it could even be a vacuum hose. The trim has me befuddled- all three switches work….same deal. They worked on the way home…...

If I absolutely needed someone to look at my boat this week, who’s my best shot? Port side motor all of a sudden started to idle high- 2100 rpm Starboard motor trim all of a sudden isn’t working- was working last time I checked it- a few months ago. Motor comes on, oil is in there, but no l...

Aqua Buff 1000 Aqua Buff 2000 Wax with Rejex when done Keep the Aqua Buff wet while doing it. Twisted wool pad. You can bring it back to new. On higher end boats, the gel coat is as thick as a credit card- so there is plenty material to work with. Just know Aqua Buff 1000 is pretty a...

Pro- you can drive it through anything and it will go anywhere. Con- ground speed is reduced significantly. You’re going from a 24” tall tire to about a 12” diameter sprocket and speed is reduced proportionally. Con- they are terribly unreliable if not maintained. Remember- SxS tracks we...

I’ve fished in all three of that generation and owned (a 2220) Blazer for 14 years. The Triton is the one to get. At that time, I would dare say that Triton was likely at the top of the bay boat game. The Blazer will rattle your teeth out and be wet at the slightest chop- JUST like a...

Thank you. A plane stationary, no matter if the hypothetical treadmill was going the speed of light, can’t take off because of Bernoulli's law. It clearly says the treadmill goes as fast as the wheels. So no matter how much throttle the pilot applies, the plane stays stationary. And to ...

Your machinist should know what to do- I didn’t look, but you’re probably looking at a thicker head gasket at a minimum- those should be readily available for that engine. I’m presuming you brought the head assembled? Really, you want him to work the head over and magnaflux it. It dr...

You could turn it up decked or not. That 4045T has a Stanadyne rotary pump on it- bring it to an injection shop and tell them to pour the coals to it. The top end of the engine isn’t your worry- you’re not making a pulling engine with 60 pounds of boost that will pop the head off. You need...
