Re: WINTERIZING - the full way!

One thing that I have found really useful to do is to put a big flat sheet of styrofoam over my enging cover and under the cover - this keeps the engine cover from getting mildew all over it. Also,...

Re: Tan-Tar-A @ LOTO

I agreee, the ramp doesn't have that much room but Public Beach 2 has good ramps and isn't that far by land or water. The docks at Tan-Tar-A suck! Rough water and out in the open. But Tan-Tar-A is...

Re: Excessive throttle pumping required to start

My 454 was like this and everybody else's that I know of too. I replaced with a Holley and now I pump twice and it starts right up. It seems to run better too.
