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.

You should start yourself a "Hey Guys, Help Me" thread in the engine area. That way all your questions will stay in one place and every gearhead that comes on HB will answer your questions and they will be happy to do so. It will be your own little library of Q & A.

HUH? You have a different operating system than I do? Or a special log on that allows you to see the "hidden stuff"
