Working on Engines

How to change the oil in your boat.
Step 1. Remove drain plug from boat
Step 2. Drive to the freeway on-ramp and pull over before entering the freeway
Step 3. Remove oil pan drain plug
Step 4. Quickly get on the freeway
Step 5. Accelerate, decelerate, accelerate, decelerate until all the oil has exited the bilge.
Step 6. Give the finger to anyone who is honking at you
Step 7. Keep an eye on your mirrors, 1 for coppers, 2 when the traffic has caught back up to you the oil pan is empty.
Step 8. Go home, put the plug back in the oil pan and pop open a cold one in celebration of a job well done.
Oh yeah, put oil back in the engine. And don't forget to replace the filter too. What ever you do don't use a Fram, GN7 will shit an ovary.
Hope this helps. :biggrin:

Ya think. Try growing up in Culver City with Traco, Isky, Halibrand, Edelbrock, Hedman, Sandy Belond all in your backyard. Like trying to grow up in East LA and not be a crack head.

Don't listen to him. Its voodoo black magic stuff and not for amateurs. Its top secret stuff handed down generation to generation. In the wrong hands it can be lethal.

I wish they offered auto shop at my high school lol.

Thinking of taking a class at a local CC to start learning about them. I hate that I have to take the boat in for an oil change or simple services.
I tried a little DIY project last year and it did not turn out very well lol.

So who here does their own Engine work whether it be boat or car?
Where did you learn to work on the engine?
Do you do your own boat maintenance?

Trust me on this. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!
The more you know, the more it costs. You're money ahead not knowing.

Neither are allowed in my garage, let alone on my boat.
Wix racing is a great filter, one of the very best, if your name is Rick Hendricks, or Roger Penske and you change your oil every 500 miles. Otherwise, its probably worse than a Fram.

Are you aware this is skirting to be "tech" thread?
Are you aware there is no "tech" forum here? Like politics, there is a reason for that. So get the posts in fast, and try not to get too "techie" before it gets locked down, or hidden, or deleted, or what ever is they do with prohibited threads.
