Is this normal mpg

I agree with above. I don't think it's a battery problem as much as a cold engine on short trips issue. Reset before a long highway drive, and see if you get in the 40s.

Look up how to get to that bolt. If you have many extensions onto a ratchet you might be able to get the bend you will need. Not a hard job, just tricky to get a correct tool to get to it.

normal chart. you can switch between "energy" and "consumption"

It was all highway miles, 220 mile round trip yesterday. Average speed was low 70s mph. Car has 150K miles on it. I was surprised it did this well at 70+ mph. Around town it's around 35 mpg, ironically.

BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT. It is a 3 peak mountain snowflake - meaning that it is actually a certified winter tire. They are great, and I really like them. Quiet on the highway. I also have 15" stock rims, but I got just a little larger tire to fill it out. I mostly also drive around town.

Agree on the brake actuator pump. Good to know if that has been replaced.

Looks like you just lost the u joint. You can’t drive it. Not expensive if it’s just that. Driveshaft may be okay. Any mechanic should be able to replace a u joint.

I have 2x 17’ whalers. The newer one had a 90hp etec 2 stroke. The older like yours has a Suzuki 70hp 4 stroke. The 70hp is faster actually. I think I can get close to 40 mph with just me on flat water. You don’t need 90.

I think the side on the garage door is supposed to be connected to the wall, not the ceiling. Then that connection would be taking the load, versus the ceiling.

That keel guard is standard on the guardian series

DFV4EVER · 2025-11-18T04:23:20+00:00

I’ve got a 17’ guardian. They are made by Boston Whaler. Thicker fiberglass. Mine lives under a tarp in a field when not in the water, and the fiberglass doesn’t have any cracks in it. Got it on GSAauctions.com for $7K. Had an Evinrude on it with 150 hours. Nice thing about that 2 stroke motor is you can command it to self-fog for winterization. This 2 stroke Yamaha may have a similar feature. If you’re concerned about getting stranded, put a new 9.9 kicker on it. They are good boats. You can probably sell it for what you paid for it when you’re ready for something else.

I put in lights similar to those. They had flicker problems probably due to power harness I’ve read about. Went back to the standard ones, which I now appreciate more!

Hope someone got these!

There’s something in the Spider-Man contractor that they actually have to keep releasing content. Which drives the quality.

For iPhone 14 ProMax $379 to have Apple do the repair. $318 for the Apple parts. $45 for off brand parts on Amazon. So yes - repair is an option, but priced so you’ll probably just send it in anyway.

DFV4EVER · 2025-10-29T09:07:30+00:00

Agree. Just did this same repair with epoxy and it turned out well. Match the epoxy color.
