There both looking for 454ci / 7.4L big block engines Pap, not a small block.

About 4 here headed toward Oswego. Anybody know why it was up this way?

Make sure to use what they recommend as well as any additive they supply & follow there break in procedure to not void any warranty with anything from Jasper or any other re-builder for that matter.

Look like this? http://mwands.com/store/35-watt-monocrystalline-solar-panel

Gen 4 if it's the original engine then. I sent you a pm.

454 (7.4L) Gen 4 or 5 blocks ?

You probably already have but make sure you have power to the purple / + side of the coil both static with the switch on & when your turning it over. Also check the main engine harness plug for corrosion.

New restrictions put on boaters along shoreline Boaters will have to slow down to 5 mph within 600 feet of Lake Ontario’s New York shoreline after the governor ordered the measure to fight flood damage. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the new speed limit Monday. It usually applies within 100 feet of shore. But now flooding has affected hundreds of properties along the lake since early March, inundating basements and causing shoreline erosion in some areas. To try to keep boat wakes from making the problem worse, some cities and towns along the lake have established their own speed limits within 500 feet of shore. The governor says with the new state speed limit, boaters won’t have to figure out which town’s limit applies as they move along.

Glad it all worked out for you

Unless jc forgot to add a "0" a Merc 110 is only a two cylinder 9.8hp motor, not the old tried and proven 6 cylinder inline of years past.

Use something small & flexible like a nylon wire tie to check where the fluid level is if it doesn't weep out the top vent when you pull the screw & fill thu the bottom as stated if needed Not thu the top.

There is absolutely NO reason to pull the top cover . Either check it level as said above with the dipstick or thru the top vent screw on the side of the housing.

And what would you base that assumption on?

Fiber washer with spring in the middle between the bellhousing & transom plate on both sides. Bolt with large washer straight down thu from the top into the recessed nut in the transom plate. Adjust the alignment with the front mount when your done.

DEC Announces 2017-2018 Waterfowl Season Dates The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation sent this bulletin on 05/12/2017 04:03 PM EDT DEC Announces 2017-2018 Waterfowl Season Dates Waterfowl Hunting Seasons Provide Diverse Opportunities Across the State The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today released information about the upcoming waterfowl hunting seasons, including season dates and updated regulations. "New York takes great pride in using the best available science and input from hunters to establish the state's annual waterfowl management seasons to provide hunting opportunities across the state from September to April," DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. "I applaud the work of this team of volunteers and DEC biologists to establish these seasons in order to maximize opportunities for hunters and grow this economically important recreation." Task force members are charged with developing optimal seasons by balancing the competing interests of hunters pursuing New York's diverse waterfowl species. Season dates and regulations can be viewed in full on DEC's website. Waterfowl hunting zone descriptions and boundaries are also available on DEC's website. Youth Hunting Opportunities: Duck hunting seasons begin with designated "youth waterfowl hunts" across the state. These hunts allow youth hunters to spend time afield with experienced adult hunters and gain necessary knowledge and skills to become safe and responsible members of the hunting community. Junior hunters (12 to 15 years of age) accompanied by a licensed adult hunter with up-to-date Harvest Information Program registration and a duck stamp may participate. During the youth hunt, the adult hunter may not possess a firearm or shoot any birds unless the respective regular season is open. The daily bag limit for ducks and brant (goose) during youth hunts is the same as during the regular season, with the exception that three geese per day may be taken in all zones. The youth hunts are held on weekends in each zone of the state, as follows: Southeastern Zone - Sept. 16-17 Northeastern Zone - Sept. 23-24 Lake Champlain Zone - Sept. 23-24 Western Zone - Oct. 14-15 Long Island Zone - Nov. 11-12 Duck Season Overview: Duck Season opening dates for each zone: Northeastern Zone - Oct. 7 Southeastern Zone - Oct. 7 Lake Champlain Zone - Oct. 11 Western Zone - Oct. 28 Long Island Zone - Nov. 23 A complete list of season dates can be found on DEC's website. The most notable regulation change is the bag limit. After more than 30 years of a one-bird daily bag limit for American black ducks, hunters in New York will have the opportunity to take two birds per day. Improved biological data combined with declining hunter numbers and black duck harvest, suggests black ducks can sustain additional harvest pressure without negatively impacting the overall population. More information on the change and a list of frequently asked questions (PDF, 621 KB) can be found on DEC's website. A summary of the annual task force meetings and an explanation of the season dates is also available on DEC's website. Goose and Brant Season Overview: September Canada goose seasons begin on Sept. 1 throughout upstate New York, and on Sept. 5 for central and eastern Long Island. Hunters can look forward to an additional 50 days or more, area dependent, to pursue these popular game birds again this fall and winter. Resident geese remain abundant in many areas of the state with an estimated population of approximately 240,000 birds statewide. Migratory populations that pass through New York were estimated to be similar to recent years. Hunters are reminded that Canada goose seasons are set for different geographic areas of the state than other waterfowl seasons, and should review maps and season dates carefully on DEC's website. Canada goose season dates and bag limits in most areas are similar to last year. In addition to the regular hunting seasons in each zone, a special conservation season for snow geese will be open in upstate New York from Jan. 16 to April 15. These birds have become so abundant that they are causing harm to wetland habitats throughout their range. Special seasons have been established in many eastern states and provinces to increase hunter harvest and help reduce this population. The daily limit for snow geese is 25 per day. Electronic calls and shotguns capable of holding more than three shells may be used to take snow geese at any time when other waterfowl hunting seasons are closed. Lastly, the bag limit and season length for Atlantic brant will remain two birds per day and 60 days long. Changes to Bird Band Reporting: Hunters or anyone who finds a banded bird can report the bandonline (link leaves DEC website) or mail information to: Bird Banding Lab, 12100 Beach Forest Road, Laurel, MD 20708. The call center supporting the 1-800-327-BAND toll-free phone number will be discontinued in 2017 due to high rates of dropped calls, issues with inaccurate data recording, and federal budget cuts. Although this reporting method for the banding program is being discontinued, several studies are being planned to calculate the likely effect of this change on band reporting rates. The value of banding data is only fully realized when banded birds are recovered and band numbers are reported to the National Bird Banding Laboratory. DEC is grateful for, and relies heavily on, ‎public participation for this effort. Hunting Safety: Commissioner Seggos reminds hunters to follow simple safety guidelines and to use good judgment when choosing a time and place to hunt. Being considerate of other people enjoying the outdoors or who live nearby can help avoid potential conflicts and ensure a safe and enjoyable season. As coastal areas become more populated, new landowners unfamiliar with the safety, ethics, and traditions of waterfowl hunting sometimes respond by seeking to limit hunter access to popular waterfowl hunting areas. Hunters should be considerate and try to minimize disturbance of local residents whenever possible. More information about avoiding conflicts between waterfowl hunters and waterfront property owners can be found on DEC's website. Habitat Stamp: Commissioner Seggos also encourages outdoor enthusiasts to consider purchasing a Habitat/Access Stamp, an optional stamp that helps support the DEC's efforts to conserve habitat and increase public access for fish and wildlife-related recreation. More information about purchasing a $5 Habitat Stamp is available on DEC's website. For More Information: New York's 2017-2018 Waterfowl Season and Bag Limit Pocket Guide (PDF, 1.7 MB) is available on the DEC website, and hard copies will available from regional offices or by e-mailing [email protected] later this summer.

State of the Fisheries of Keuka Lake Meeting DEC Announces State of the Fisheries of Keuka Lake Meeting The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation sent this bulletin on 05/11/2017 04:21 PM EDT DEC Announces State of the Fisheries of Keuka Lake Meeting As part of Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Region 8 Fisheries Management Unit will present recent sampling results from Keuka Lake at a June 12 public meeting, DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos announced today. "This public forum on the state of Keuka Lake fisheries provides an opportunity for DEC fisheries scientists to share their knowledge about fishery resources," Commissioner Seggos said. "Governor Cuomo supports these efforts to provide excellent opportunities for interested anglers to interact with the managers studying these fisheries. Our staff is committed to sound management of Finger Lake's fisheries and strives to maintain high-quality angling opportunities, as well as the associated economic benefits they support. "The Finger Lakes and their tributaries support thriving populations of fish, including a variety of trout and salmon, bass, walleye, yellow perch, and panfish. Keuka Lake comprises more than 11,500 acres. A statewide angler survey conducted in 2007 estimated 178,340 angler days were spent on Keuka Lake making it the 16th most fished water in the State. The estimated value of these fisheries exceeded $2.9 million to the local New York economy. The meeting will be held on: Monday, June 12, 2017: 6:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. at Room 109 in Hegeman Hall at Keuka College, 141 Central Ave., Keuka Park, (Yates County). Ample parking is available. For directions and a campus map visit https://www.keuka.edu/visitors-guests DEC fisheries biologists will provide updates on the status of trout and salmon fisheries, warm water fish, fishing regulations, and DEC's Angler Diary Program. There will be time allotted at the end of the scheduled program for the audience to interact with the presenters. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/NYSDEC/bulletins/199fa1e
