Bilge heaters

I've been contemplating a bilge heater for a few years but just never did it. My boat lives on a lift. It's time to winterize or bilge heat. I'm looking for some input from someone who's used a bilge...

Anyone have experience with Teague 620 or 720 HP carbureted engines ? I'm curious what kind of idle quality and life expectancy one might expect from these engines. How many hours before top end...

Boat Lift

My Polylift has been flawless for 10 years on 38ft Cig. There are probably 25 Polylifts in my marina. Their hinges are great and never wear out or rust.

Octane boosters

My compression is 10.5 I believe. I was told by builder to run better than 87 octane. I do have a trailer but trailering a 38ft boat with a crew cab dually and then getting into a gas station can be...

trim on handle

Not sure but I believe there may be diode's somewhere in the switch circuit where the two circuits are combined as one. Some work that way. If a diode failed, it would affect only one circuit.
