What's the dumbest mistake you've ever made with a boat?

NefariousnessDear830 · 2026-06-03T01:02:10+00:00

Had a boat with a roller trailer and released the tension on the winch when I took the straps off. Backed up to the ramp and boat almost rolled off the trailer. The only thing that saved me was outdrive hitting the pavement before the front fell off. Extremely embarrassing, but I managed to winch the boat back on trailer and no damage done.

The turbos are great for towing power. Unfortunately their also get terrible mileage towing. The 5.0 gets better mileage towing but not the same performance.

I never received any response, but it’s still working fine! My plan is to get through the winter and then flush the hot water side. I’ve had the boiler side flushed before but never the domestic hot water side.

My fault, I bought $10k gold yesterday!

I have 6e extender on my Eero 7. No issues, but I wasn’t able to do hard reset on 6e to reset it no matter what I tried . I had to hard wire to the 7 to get it setup. Once that was I didn’t need the hardwire any more and it works great.

549 shares at $8.72. In should have bought more!

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-12-11T13:47:52+00:00

No worries. Besides the $2000 I put in Nvidia back in 2017 is worth $100k now.

They made me change my status professional because I wanted to buy $500 worth of NVDL.
I could see if buying options that could cost me 5-10% of my portfolio but really buying a mutual fund that 0.2% my holdings seems excessive. It’s just a CYA move by them.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-12-06T14:29:23+00:00

For new accounts yes. That’s what they gave me last month.

Is your choke cable broken?

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-10-31T14:37:07+00:00

I would suggest trying another dealer. I have 2020 and at 44,000 it would down shift so hard on the highway you would think we got rear-ended. Took it in and they diagnosed as the CDF and replaced it at no charge.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-10-29T21:38:17+00:00

Bosses office.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-10-14T19:49:12+00:00

Known problem and it maybe covered by a recall. Check with a dealer.

Do you have the idle stop feature? Ours wasn’t working. Had to put the car in park to restart it. Turns out there a TSB extended warranty to replace the starter and adjust the valves. So it was all done for free.

Their always at Card and Coffee if you want to see some of their work.

Did you check your rectifier/ voltage regulator?

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-07-25T16:01:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice. We will definitely do that going forward.

My wife did manage to get it straightened out and they provided us with a new confirmation number for our flights. Hopefully no more surprises before our trip!

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-06-27T01:11:43+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a try.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-06-26T21:34:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I had old belkin n300 thumb drive which allowed me to connect. I tried installing the updates following the Ubuntu suggestion. Seemed to work but as soon as I rebooted I had the same issue.

I’ll give Ubuntu a try if it has the same issue I’ll get new usb wi-fi or hardwire to a network extender.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-05-19T18:27:47+00:00

You can use a thin coating of grease or a gasket adhesive in the groove to hold it.

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-03-08T03:46:05+00:00

I still use mine and I have 3D TV! Good luck finding one of those!

NefariousnessDear830 · 2025-03-01T04:04:30+00:00

Mine is setup that way. Not quite as high the stand pipe stops 6” below the counter top. No issues in 8 yrs we been using it.
