I've never liked wire line, but in the old days......I used to use lead core line. Much softer than the Monel they use today, and had a better 'feel' to it. It also came color coded, so you knew how much was out.

Bob, The reason for the magnets is to avoid the paint removal, and as you know......many drain plugs are magnetized specifically for the purpose of trapping shavings. You just remove the pads prior to the oil change and any iron should flow out with the oil. Of course if you have Yanmar 4LP's, you d...

If you want to take full advantage of those engines, I think that you should be changing gears as well. With your current gears, you won't be able to swing a 20" or 21" prop.
