Here's a neat trans oil trick
Only a bit off topic, let me offer a neat trick I worked out for checking the trans oil level. At least on my trans oil dipstick, the level of the oil is just about invisible on the stick. What I do is pull out the stick, and then roll it across a clean paper towel. This leaves a stain that corresponds to the level of the oil, and allows you to better visualize what the oil level is.

amusing, again. Keep it up guys, but please don't use the F word on, for or at me. Geez, I get enough of that from my crew, and, when single handing, from the boats that are just passing by..... Fun, Stu PS (wouldn't be me if there wasn't one of these here, would it?) How about posting what BOAT you are sailing? That would really help, either in signatures, or in your sign in name. Of course, we're all so busy switching boats and moving up (and down) all the time, I guess it would be too much to ask to keep current....

Alan 1. Thanks, nice pciture, we've seen Bruce around here. The hills on the background in the photo are helpful. 2. What kind of boat do you have? Can you include it in your sign-in? Stu
