Grab Bag????

[William H. (Bill) Barham]

What happened to Mark Hoffman's contributions to the Grab Bag section of this site? Does anyone know? Rich? There are a lot of questions lately about winterizing, etc and it would be nice just to steer them there..

Bill, Mark was supposed to get those projects to me so I could put them on the NTOWS server, but it hasn't happened. He's had more important issues to deal with, so, whenever he gets to it, he gets to it.

I understand Rich.. I just thought maybe they fell down some "compter hole" somewhere.

Hey, everyone. Bill, I apologize for not working on the two Grab Bag projects related to winterizing. I guess I didn't think it was a priority. I'll get right on it.



I'm in San Francisco right now, but I'll email the Annual Maintenance Checklist to Rich so that he can upload it to his server. I discontinued my personal website several months ago, which is why you can't link to the old pages.



The Grab Bag article on changing the lower unit lubricant is more complicated, and will have to wait until I get home because the pictures for that are on one of my backup CDs. I may also have the article's copy on a backup CD but I won't know until I get home. If not I'll just re-write the article.

Hi Mark, No big hurry.. I just thought they were excellent articles and wondered what happened to them. That's all..

Annual Maitenance Checklist project is now back up.



Thanks, Mark!

Thanks Mark and you too Rich..

Good news!!! I found the old files!!



They will need to be reworked a bit for Rich's server, but I think I can have them all to Rich sometime this weekend.



BTW - in the maintenance checklist, there are a couple of spots where I typed "do not wipe was off of surfaces." It should say "don't wipe WAX off of surfaces". Sorry for the typos. I'll get a corrected file to Rich.

 

[William H. (Bill) Barham]

Thanks again Mark. Those files will be invaluable to a lot of people.

Rich:



I e-mailed the Lower Unit Oil Change Grab Bag Project to you last night. I'll work on the new boater's checklist next.
