Rigging Adjustment Tool
Are you bothered by those pesky loose shrouds and stays with no easy way to correctly tighten them? Do fellow boaters snicker at how loose those leeward shrouds get when beating to windward? Do you have sleepless nights thinking about mast metal fatigue as a result of mast pumping caused by under t...

Re: Honda 50 HP problem
http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss163/macmic/DSC01274.jpg In the motor down position the cables press up against the steering bar and actually wants to lift it up.

Honda OEM Fuel Tank Connector
